About this property
Delightful Oceanside Home Steps to Tranquil Beach: Soak up the Sun and Seabreeze
Nestled just steps from the soft, golden sands of the meandering Outer Banks beaches, this charming beach cottage offers the perfect coastal retreat. With four inviting bedrooms and two full baths, it comfortably accommodates families seeking a relaxing getaway. The fully-stocked kitchen is ideal for preparing home-cooked meals, while the open dining/living room provides a great space for family gatherings. Unwind on the deck after a day of sunbathing, fishing or exploring, and enjoy the salty, ocean breeze while watching the sun sink down slowly over the Sound. The deck is also perfect for watching the beach come to life in the morning with the soft pinks and oranges of the sunrise over the ocean.
The cottage is located on a lovely, quiet street that dead-ends at the beach. It's located in South Nags Head, just past Milepost 20. Our location is the best of both worlds with restaurants, shops, grocery stores, golf courses, state parks, fishing piers and other local attractions only a 10-15 minute drive from the house, while having the peaceful coastal sanctuary for shorebirds, sea turtles, dolphins and more, just steps from the front door. You'll love the serenity of slow-paced beach living!
Don't forget about the magical atmosphere of the Outer Banks at night! You will be mesmerized by the dazzling canopy of stars overhead, unimpeded by city lights. For some added fun, take a flashlight down to the beach at night to watch the ghost crabs scuttle across the sand as they search for food under the cover of night.
*There is typically a lifeguard stand on the beach at the end of our street during summer months.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review. We are thrilled to hear that everything at the beach house was perfect. We appreciate your feedback about the slight smell upon entering. Because we're so close to the ocean, we have immediately dispatched our cleaning service to check the dehumidifier and ensure everything is aired out properly for future guests. We would absolutely love to host you again in a second!
Thank you for your feedback. We were happy to have you as our guests and glad you enjoyed the kitchen. We strive to ensure our listing is accurate and our description and photos show that while we are very close to the beach/ocean, we are definitely not "overlooking the beach". We were glad that our home overall seemed to be a good fit for you but appreciate the opportunity to clarify this for future guests.
We loved this home for our spring break. So clean and well-kept property just steps from the beach and in a quiet location that is just a short drive to activities and restaurants. The size was just right for our family of 4, but could comfortably fit a few more. Leslie and Greg were very quick to reply to us before our trip but we didn’t need anything once we were here. We appreciated the beach chairs, laundry, games, and well stocked kitchen. thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!

Thank you for the wonderful review! We are thrilled to hear that your family had a fantastic time and that our place was perfect for your stay. You were fabulous guests and we would welcome you back anytime!
We loved our stay here! Short walk to the beach and lifeguard there is a lifeguard posted right there at the access. The home was equipped with everything we needed and kitchen was well stocked.
House was very clean and nicely decorated. Pre check in instructions were very thorough and helpful. The house had everything that we needed for our long weekend. Beach was super easy walk from the house. Would stay here again and would recommend!
Nice house very close to the beach south of nags head. We loved taking our coffee to the beach each morning. The house was clean, well taken care of and had most of what we needed. Don’t forget to bring your own towels! Shops and restaurants are 5 minutes away by car. Propert manager was very responsive and provided a lot of information about things to do, places to eat, etc.
Nice property with very close access to rhe beqch and all the amwnities the oiter banks have to offer. The owners were very responsive... we hope to be back!
We enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home! Our host was very speedy in responses…just a couple of questions on our end, no issues. The property has been well-maintained, was very clean, kitchen was well stocked, and the deck furniture gave us a comfortable place to hang out outside as well. Super easy beach access. We’ve stayed in a lot of homes on the Outer Banks down through the years, but this was definitely one of our favorites! We’ll be back!!!
Loved the clean, close to the beach, quiet but close to the shops and action location. It was great to be able to run back to the house for food, nap time and other needs. The house is decorated beautifully and comfortable for a perfect vacation.
This property was a great spot to spend the week. The lifeguarded beach was awesome with the kids, yet the crowds were just right. The house was well stocked and communication between the owners was great. Their pre-trip info and check-in was detailed and helped us to better be prepared for our trip. We enjoyed evenings on the deck once the sun went down and the quick walk to and from the beach. A beach walk after a rain day led to one of the most epic rainbows!
Great place to stay for families. We even had a 2yo. Location can’t be beat, the house is warm and inviting. Has a cute bay window the kids loved. The deck made for amazing dinners outside and was great for stargazing at night. All the beach decorations were beautiful. They have tons of beach chairs, some beach toys and outdoor wash. Leslie and Greg were incredible hosts. Very responsive, caring and informative. Can’t wait to come back!
Great neighborhood, easy/short walk to beach. Loved the location and the quietness. The cottage was clean and had everything we needed. Couldn't have asked for a nicer place. Would definitely book again. 😁
My family and I really enjoyed our stay. We really appreciated the extra toiletries and kitchen supplies. We had a little extra of everything which was much appreciated.I would recommend staying here. It was also close to Manteo and and some other nice locations with good food and coffee options.
We thoroughly enjoyed our family vacation. The location is excellent. The cottage was well stocked. The check in process was easy. The communication with Leslie was perfect.
We truly enjoyed our stay in Nags Head! This was our first time at this beach area.
Having the home so close to the beach with a life guard was fantastic, since we had 3 littlle ones with us(ages 2, 4, 5).
We will be back!
We had the absolute best time at the beach. The house was perfectly located and made it so easy to get to the beach. The house had everything we could possibly want, even a large living space that the kids had the best time spreading out on the floor to play. Prior to our arrival, Leslie was in communication with us and made the whole process so easy to check in and prepare us for our stay. You can’t go wrong staying here! We can’t wait to come back. Thanks again for a perfect week!
My husband and I booked five nights at this beautiful oceanside cottage, and we were absolutely delighted with our accommodations. The cottage was lovely, well equipped, and in a very desirable location. We had great communications with our hosts who made us feel right at home with the cottage amenities and the detailed information given about the Outer Banks area. We look forward to booking another stay at this lovely home!
Our group of friends have been enjoying a girls’ getaway at the beach for 29 years and this home is by far our favorite. The house was clean, well stocked, and decorated beautifully. Leslie was a delight to work with and was very quick to respond to any of our questions. I’d highly recommend this home for your next Nags Head vacation!!!
Stayed for our annual golf and Fishing trip which we have been doing for over 20 years. Finally found the perfect place to house 6 and only 5 minutes to OI fishing center. Very clean neat and love the deck.
The house was the perfect size for our family of 4 and 2 other family members. The house is so close to the beach and located in a safe neighborhood. We appreciated the extra amenities such as kitchen towels, well stocked kitchen and appliances, and beach equipment. House was very clean and beds were comfortable. Also, my children loved all of the board games in the house.

About the host
Hosted by Greg and Leslie Harshfield
We are a family of 6 from the Midwest. Our kids have grown up spending hours on the beach, building sand castles, playing in the waves, burying each other in the sand, and finding treasures that the tide brings in. They now range in age from 13-30 so their beach fun has changed to sunbathing, kayaking, fishing, and visiting their favorite restaurants and ice cream shops. One of our absolute favorite things is taking a day trip to Corolla to see the iconic Outer Banks wild horses. The tours are loads of fun and we see something new every time. There is definitely something to do for all ages! Greg takes advantage of the amazing photo opportunities, whether it's pictures of the majestic water birds, catching the last rays of the day illuminating the Bodie Island lighthouse, the sea turtles nesting, or just family fun on the beach. Leslie loves to walk up and down the beach, picking up shells that the tide brings in and popping into some of her favorite local shops, especially in the quaint little town of Manteo. We also love the fresh seafood at the local restaurants, and highly recommend O'Neals Sea Harvest in Wanchese if you want to prepare your own! And we have to mention how amazing our North Carolina Aquarium is, and it isn't far from our place. Check out the sea turtle rescue wing!
Why they chose this property
We rented this house for our family vacation years ago and fell in love with it. It just felt like home. When we called to book the same week for the next summer, the owners told us that they were selling. We decided that we couldn't pass up the opportunity. Owning this beach house has been a dream come true. We know that you will treasure the warm memories that your family makes here, just like we do!
What makes this property unique
This house is in a PERFECT location. It is on a quiet street in South Nags Head, just steps from the beach. There is a lifeguard tower on the beach at the end of our street from Memorial Day through Labor Day, which is a rare amenity. There are plenty of restaurants, golf courses, shops, grocery stores, banks, parks, piers, and other attractions in Nags Head. Our home is located just past all of those things, so you only have to drive a few minutes to anything you want to go to. You could also ride your bike along the bike path to get to many of those attractions. At night you can see millions of stars in the sky!
