Find Your Shelter in Nags Head, where coastal beauty, abundant wildlife, and laid-back beach living come together. Tucked into a quiet oceanside neighborhood in South Nags Head, The Shelter is a charming 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom escape designed for guests who crave both relaxation and connection to the natural surroundings of the Outer Banks. This coastal haven offers Stunning Sunset Views, Partial Ocean Views, an Outdoor Entertainment Area under the house, and a fenced-in backyard for your dog-friendly relaxation and enjoyment.

Why Guests Love The Shelter

Close proximity to top birdwatching and wildlife areas
Peaceful South Nags Head location away from heavy traffic
Expansive decks with both sunset and ocean views

Inside, the single-level layout makes gathering easy and comfortable. The open Living Area is filled with natural light from large windows, offering peaceful views and a welcoming space to unwind after a day outdoors. The fully equipped Kitchen makes preparing fresh local seafood effortless, while the Dining Area invites everyone to reconnect over meals and stories from the day.

Step outside onto the furnished decks to fully appreciate this home's location. Sip your morning coffee as seabirds glide overhead, or wind down in the evening with spectacular sunset skies over the sound and soft ocean breezes drifting in from the east.

We had a great time at The Shelter, especially using the outdoor spaces.We enjoyed being close to the beach in the less commercially dense area of Nags Head, while being an easy 15 min drive to Manteo, Jockeys Ridge, and Pea Island refuge.

Great dog friendly house close to the beach

We were very happy with our stay here. Check in was simple with a coded door and the house was clean and exactly as pictured in the post. The outside living area and fenced in yard was perfect for our dog and us to hang out outside. The kitchen had very nice recently updated appliances and it was well stocked with a large variety of cookware and everything else you would need to prepare a meal. The house is only several minutes away from the beach and the neighborhood is lovely. We will definitely be booking this location again if it’s available for our next visit
