About this property

Classic 3 Bedroom 1.5 Bath ,Beach / Ranch Cottage in Excellent Condition

When Jim & Lisa decided to renovate their beach cottage, the only thing they knew they wanted was comfort. “We wanted the house to be comfortable, but also fun and exciting. The idea was to get that ‘coming into a beach house feeling’ where you know you’re going to have a good time.The cottage was originally a 'guest house' for a larger property on the cul-de-sac, and it now reflects North Carolina’s beach-loving lifestyle. Newly renovated and nicely furnished, this 2.5Bedroom, 1.5 Bathroom property is updated to exceed your standards with all the necessities of home. Located in Nags Head at milepost 11, a great central location to many fabulous restaurants, beach activities, and national landmarks. Take a stroll to the Nags Head Pier, Tortugas' Lie, and Lucky 12 Tavern or a bike ride to multiple art galleries, coffee shops, ice cream shops, and even Jockey's Ridge State Park (the largest dunes on the east coast which promise incredible sunsets). Kids and adults will enjoy a game of Putt Putt at Galaxy golf (17 min walk ) Pet friendly(pet fee 35.00 per night /1 pet or 40.00 per night 2pet max) with a fenced in back yard, two decks, one off the house( w /2 captain deck chairs )and the other with seating area for 4 , umbrella, and gas grill. A newly added Park 2016/17 called Dowdy Park is open for kids and adults to enjoy & its only a 10 minute walk . Renovated kitchen with all new appliances (refrigerator/freezer, stove, dishwasher, microwave). New flooring throughout the house! Updated bathrooms, and new media which includes three streaming flat screen TVs (65”living room & 50” in master bedroom ) and (1) 32" flat TV with DVD & firestick remote only in the3rd bedroom ( with a daybed/ twin bedroom/ media room . The living room has 5 Bose Speakers ( surround sound ) stereo amp & iPod ready. Nestled on a large corner lot, an easy walk to beach (less than a 5 minute walk to Bladen Street Beach front access which has NO steps onto beach . The cottage sits on 2 lots & is located in a neighborhood with no thruway-traffic making the location safe and quiet. You will not be disappointed...

I am happy to guide you to all the cool local spots. Whether you are a couple, seniors, or a small family I can help you create a great vacation!Please feel free to inquire about our beach blanket/ cooler/ beach chair / umbrella rental service options available . Thank you for considering our cottage...Jim & Lisa Winn

Excellent Cottage at Nags Head

My family and I (2 adults, 2 kids, and 1 dog) stayed at Blue Sky in July 2025 and absolutely loved it. We had a great experience. The owner Jim is an outstanding host and the cottage is cozy with a great backyard. It is also in a great location, only a few minutes walk from the beach as well as Dowdy Park. Highly recommend!

We had a terrific stay at Sky Blue. The house was very clean and well equipped with all the dishes and kitchen supplies we needed. We loved the proximity to the beach and the house was the perfect size for our family of 4. We also loved the fenced in backyard for our dog. We couldn’t have asked for a better spot and Jim and Lisa were fabulous hosts.

Great place to stay!

Our first time visiting the Outer Banks and we couldn’t be happier with our decision to stay at Sky Blue! We were just a quick walk away from the beach and in a central location for many restaurants and activities. This pet friendly home allowed us to bring along our dog, Tilly for her first vacation! Tilly loved playing outside in the fenced in back yard! If we find ourselves in obx again, we would love to stay at Sky Blue again!

Cozy beach cottage

This property was fairly represented in the photos and description. The cottage is cozy and perfectly situated if you are looking for some quiet relaxation with an easy walk to the beach and close proximity to lots of activities. There are several of Nags Head's popular restaurants within walking distance. The owner was super friendly, attentive and helpful, definitely wanting to give the best experiences to his guests. Backyard is a huge plus if you bring a dog and the charming touches that the owners bring to every piece of the cottage did not go unnoticed. Definitely would recommend a stay here.

Sky Blue Sky

So, we decided to schedule a last minute vacation to the OBX, for old times sake, and for some unknown reason Sky Blue was available. Boy, did we luck out!! Perfect place for the me and the wife, our daughter and her boyfriend, we all felt right at home and had really great week. Everything in the previous 5 star reviews of Sky Blue is accurate... Clean, quiet location, private, perfect distance from the beach, and all the happening spots in Nags Head. The owner, Jim, could not have been nicer, or more accommodating. Absolutely deserving of 5 stars... It's also great to know we have a perfect little spot in Nags Head for our next trip there... Thanks Jim!

Excellent home, excellent location and most excellent owners!

We were just at this lovely home in Nags Head this past week and we absolutely loved it! Jim and Lisa were extremely friendly and helpful and just a phone call away for whatever we needed. The home itself was perfect for our family of 3 and 1 latecomer. It was just 3 blocks from a great beach and short driving distances to everything else we needed. The house was extremely clean and well decorated and had everything. The small fee for the linens was worth it since it was all very nice! The outdoor shower was also great after a long day at the beach. The backyard was also well shaded and so we spent time hanging out. Loved the quiet neighborhood. We will definitely be back. Thank you Jim and Lisa! We had a perfect week at your lovely beach house!

We are glad everyone enjoyed "sky blue". Thank you for taking good care of it while your family was there . We have taking a lot of pride in bring this 1970's beach rancher into today's 2016 standards . Sitting on 2 lots makes it very quite and having 200+ year old nags head oaks provide good shade . Landscaping will be a priority this fall and spring . Please keep in touch , your family is welcome back anytime , Jim

Perfect Quiet Location

I've been coming to the OBX off and on since the late '70s and consistently for the past 10 years. This is one of my favorite areas of Nags Head. Having said that, Sky Blue is on a cul-de-sac off of a very quiet street. We were here in late September and sitting on the deck was the quietest I've experienced in a long time. The house is great. It's the first I've stayed in a ground level ranch vs multi-level beach house. Again, this added to the relaxed feel and kind of made us feel like residents rather than visitors. The back deck area is even nicer than the pictures would indicate. There's something magical about sitting under the live oaks and Jim's addition of the lighting in the trees is perfect. The outside shower seems like a strange thing to comment on but it is great! Again, the lights made it perfect for use at night. Jim is a great host and clearly cares about the house and property and knowing your stay is a good one. Back to location. As indicated it is a reasonable walk to the beach and to 2 restaurants and the fishing pier. Given the layout of the OBX this walking access to restaurants is kind of unusual especially when you combine it with the quiet location of the house itself. It's a great value, I highly recommend it.

Dear guest , thank you for such a nice review . We are very pleased that you all enjoyed "sky blue" . We put a major face lift on this property in 2016 and tried to create a simplicity of comforts mixed with a beachie feel . New sod installed late 2016 fenced in back yard and seeded front yard with more landscaping coming up in 2017 . Please keep in touch you all are welcome back anytime , thanks again , Jim

Perfect for the Pups

Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay in OBX for us or the dogs. Completely fenced in large yard that always had shade no matter what time of day. Short 5 minute walk through a quiet neighborhood to the dog friendly beach. Jim and Lisa clearly put a lot of love and care into this property. House was immaculate, kitchen was well stocked, and the outdoor shower was amazing. Jim and Lisa were friendly, helpful, and super responsive. Would not stay anywhere else in OBX!

Perfect Place!

We had the best stay here! "Sky Blue" was the perfect cottage for our family of four. The home was beautifully appointed with everything we could have needed and wanted in a place to stay. It was literally a 3-5min walk from the beach and right nearby stores, shopping and dining. From the outdoor shower (game changer), to the hammocks, we couldn't have asked for more. Jim (owner) was so helpful from start to finish; if we come back to Outer Banks we'll be staying here again for sure. - Coleman Family

About the host

Host profile image

Owners of the Caddy Shack in Nags Head, North Carolina. Please take a moment to read some of our reviews, just go to 383975 to see how we take care of our clients!

Why they chose this property

The cottage is painted in a pale yellow and sky blue inspired by a beautiful seashell, which gives it a weathered, beachy feel throughout. Vintage-inspired beaded board lends even more character to the rooms while the white keeps the kitchen fresh and crisp. Jim and Lisa scoured antiques and consignment stores for the furnishings, which provides a local coastal feel. Neutral bedrooms and a rustic living room complete the space.

What makes this property unique

We monthly spray against mosquitoes ( barrier spray ) which drastically reduces those biting critters ... which means you and your love ones get to enjoy the outside ( deck , hammocks & yard ) trust me .. it works
