About the host
Hosted by Mark Cochran
I live in NH, but spend most of my time in the OBX. I grew up staying at my grandparents cottage (Nena and Grandad's) as a child. This cottage reminded me of my grandma's cottage so I named it after her.
Why they chose this property
I've been coming to the OBX since the late 70s. We spent most of our time in Kitty Hawk. One of my favorite towns to visit as well as Duck.
What makes this property unique
Screened in porch with fantastic oceanfront views. One of the few old traditional 1960s nags head feel. Not gutted like many of the other cottages.
