"The Little House" as we affectionately call it, is a unique OBX cottage and property which has been in our family since the 70's. Newly renovated for 2025, this adorable cottage is the perfect get-away for 1-4 people. The space is perfect for a couple or small family. It is a wonderful SOUNDSIDE property, with an original Outer Banks cottage located on it that is rustic in nature. It's a charming and cozy place to enjoy an Outer Banks experience! The cottage sits off Colington Road, a well traveled two lane secondary road and is ONLY 5 MINUTES TO THE BEACH WITH FREE PARKING! The backyard backs up to the Albemarle sound and is shaded by beautiful Southern Live Oak trees. It is the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee, read a book, or enjoy the wildlife of the Outer Banks. The water is very shallow, but perfect for kayaking, or crabbing. NO DIVING OR SWIMMING OFF OF DOCK.
If you are looking for a unique property and cottage, a local experience, or a place to relax with friends and loved ones, then our cottage fits the bill! We hope you enjoy The Little House!

Neighborhood Description
Centrally located, our private cottage is 1.5 miles to the beach (less than a 5 minute drive), and a short distance to many restaurants, coffee shops, and shopping. The house sits off of Colington Road, a well traveled two lane secondary road which leads to Colington Island where many locals live. Enjoy fishing off of one of several local fishing piers (the sound in the back is shallow and fish aren't usually there) with daily or weekly passes available. The Wright Brothers Monument is right down the road, with bike and walking paths to enjoy. Jockey's Ridge in Nags Head is a beautiful place to fly kites or enjoy the beautiful Outer Banks sunsets.
