Fourth Estate Cottage:Historic oceanfront, sandy path to the beach, comfy & cozy
Fourth Estate Cottage: A comfy and cozy historic oceanfront home located in the heart of Nags Head that has a sandy path to the beach and offers guests YMCA access during their stay!
Bed Sizes: 3 Queen, 2 Double
Families have maintained the look and feel of these historic homes located in Nags Head and the Fourth Estate Cottage c.1935 lets you step back in time when families came to the beach and enjoyed each other's company, children played on the beach and everyone gathered on the wide spacious covered decks to talk about life. Imagine the stories that have been told for generations here and will be told for generations to come. Evening cocktails and morning swims were a part of the tradition so make sure you do the same. The Old Nags Head charm still exists here but with added modern conveniences this home will be the place to rest, rejuvenate and make unforgettable memories. The lower level offers living, dining, and kitchen areas where everyone can gather for family time and delicious meals. The original bath on the main level has a claw foot tub so you have that rustic charm and the top level has four bedrooms and upgraded baths so everyone will be sure to find the perfect spot to end an adventurous day. Bring the family to this unforgettable home where you can share in the history and memories of years past.
