About this property
Oceanfront, dog friendly, walkway to beach, cozy historic cottage- Island Dancer
Island Dancer: Cozy Oceanfront cottage that is dog friendly, has a walkway to the beach and is located in the Historic Loop of Nags Head.
Bed Sizes: 2 Queens, 2 Twin, 1 Sleep Sofa
Island Dancer is a historic, comfy cottage and will be the perfect home for your getaway to the OBX. Built in 1935 this quaint cottage has survived more than eighty years along the coast of the Outer Banks. Families came to the Outer Banks in the 1900s in the summer to escape the heat of the inland farms and to enjoy the sea and ocean air for a healthier living. Many of these historical homes still have family ties to the original owners. Families spent the day at the beach and relaxed on their covered decks in the evening sharing stories with family, friends, and neighbors. These homes added modern conveniences as the years went by but the laid-back lifestyle is still possible to enjoy. Island Dancer is your answer to the perfect place to unwind and rejuvenate from the fast-paced life we live in. Bring your favorite books and games and hang out on the covered decks.
Relive the memories of years gone by and make your new traditions and memories with the family, friends, and your doggies. Island Dancer has all the modern conveniences you need whether you are preparing your favorite meals, watching movies, or ending your day in a comfy bed getting ready for the next day's adventures.
