About this property

421 Dog-Friendly - minutes to Beach Access & YMCA

The Briccetti Cottage brings back the nostalgia of the Outer Banks from an earlier time. Wooden interior, tranquil surroundings, and a spacious covered deck for enjoying those outdoor moments regardless of the elements. The home is also dog-friendly, so bring along your furry friend (at a nominal fee and limit to ONLY 1 Dog) and enjoy spending time with the entire family. The Briccetti Cottage is just a short walk to the beach, where you can easily access a public beach access that also features an on-duty lifeguard during the in-season.

Being located in the heart of Nags Head, 401 is in close proximity to fishing piers, shopping, restaurants, a movie theater, numerous historic sites, and so much more. There's also a brand new park (the old Dowdy's Amusement area) built within walking distance of the home.

And don't let the antique nature of this home mislead you, the cottage is constantly updated and cared for. New for 2016: All new interior doors, new dishwasher, new TV, new box spring, mattress toppers, and bedspread, "antique" hutch for the kitchen, and rocking chair for the living room, and new A/C system! As for 2017, all new carpets have been installed through the entire home!

* The YMCA is a short walk from this home and offers an indoor pool with child's pool, outdoor water park, gym, basketball, racketball, billiards, and much more with a nominal fee.

* This house allows ONE dog for an extra fee of $175 plus tax. If bringing a dog, please contact Cove Realty so that a pet spray may be set up after your stay. Please visit our website link for dog restrictions, policies, and local information https://www.coverealty.com/outer-banks-pet-information.

Please contact Cove Realty of Nags Head for more information on this home's linen rental package. Also, Cove Realty is a Green company that limits excessive waste.

Great place with great location

This place was amazing! We loved the covered front porch and the location was great. Walking distance to the beach as well as all of the amazing restaurants.

Wonderful location!!! Close to beach access with a boardwalk right to the beach, which was great for our pull wagon. The house was clean and comfortable. The air conditioner was very cooling, which is important to me. Highly recommend!!!!

Good location/Value

This cottage was in a great location for beach access and shopping. Half mile from beach access. Reasonably priced. A little dated, but clean and pretty well kept.

Thank you so much for your feedback on this rental home! The owners have admitted to us in the past that they enjoy a certain "Nags Head charm" to the home, and prefer the wood paneling and crate furniture which reminisce to many of the original Nags Head homes of the past. We're so happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay here on the Outer Banks and hope to see you again!

Great location and price!

We loved this cottage! The location was excellent, walking/biking distance to many restaurants, coffee shops, etc. easily drivable anywhere you wanted to go. A big bonus that the intersecting street that would take you to the highway (or the beach road) has a stop light and crosswalk. Some have mentioned that the cottage is “outdated” but we actually found the decor to have a lovely vintage vibe. Honestly there was nothing else we would’ve wanted from the place, and it was so lovely to have drinks on the covered porch at night.

Perfect weekly rental

Two close blocks from the beach(quick walk) and no crossing the major highway! Also a perfect public beach access with bathrooms and showers at the crossing. Located perfectly to all local actvities, target and foodlion. Dowdy Park was perfect for some hoops by the kids. Everything you need for a weeklong stay but bring your fav cookware. We had to grab some at target, only stainless provided and that made it tough for cooking. Loved the eclectic decorations. Perfect place!

Thank you for your feedback on this rental home. As various cookware can go bad or wander off from time-to-time, please never hesitate to call our office so we can properly restock any necessary cookware items. We're so happy you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you again!

As for kitchenware, if you get a chance, can you let contact us to let us know what cooking items are missing, or your would like added? For future guests, if you ever need additional cookware or find any issue at your rental, please let us know so that we can immediately take care of your needs to ensure a pleasant vacation.

We enjoyed our stay. 1 block from the beach and the park is right around the corner, which my grandbabies loved. I will stay there again. The deck needs to be upgraded.

Reasonably priced. Smelled like smoke.

The house smelled like cigarette smoke upon arrival, a major turn off to my girlfriend and I. The property was listed as non-smoking and the smell was highly irritating to my girlfriend who only quit smoking several months ago. Cove Realty's response was to send out a guy with some sort of aerosol spray can. The "solution" wasn't entirely effective and sending out the Fabreeze can dude was the full extent of their apology. We loved the house and location but probably will not be returning to a Cove Realty property.

Response from VrboOwner on 1 Apr 2020
Thank you so much for your feedback on this rental home! I'm so sorry to hear that you experienced a problem with the home smelling of smoke upon arrival, as all of our rental homes are non-smoking and do not allow smoking of any kind within the premises. I did contact the carpet and upholstery vendor who was sent to remedy your unit and was informed that a deodorant neutralizer was used, which he states to usually have positive results with. If you do decide to stay with us again, if you ever have any issue which remains un-remedied, please don't hesitate to let us know so that we can do whatever it takes to make sure that you have a pleasant stay. I do hope that, aside from this issue, you were able to enjoy your stay here on the island.

This owner visits her home very often, so when you get a chance, please send us a list of items that you would like to see updated if coming back for a future stay. We'll then forward that list to the owner so she can consider those items for the 2018 year!
