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.

Exploring the Outer Banks: You'll want to check out the local restaurant directly across the street, Tortuga's Lie for some delicious meals. The OBX has so much to see and do, so plan some days to try more of our local restaurants, unique shops, historical sites, and outdoor adventures.

Beach Access: A private walkway behind the home leads you to the beautiful beaches and ocean where you can spend the day basking in the sun, swimming, surfing, and maybe find some sea glass to take home.

No Smoking/Vaping. Pet Friendly-Dogs Only. (2-Small Dogs or 1 Large Dog) Dogs allowed for an additional fee.

Great little beach cottage!! Decor is super cute beachy. Perfect for couples or small family. Plenty of deck space that wraps around the cottage. Direct access to the beach from the back deck, just down a path and over a small dune. We really enjoyed our stay and will defiantly rebook again. Check in and out is very simple, no stress. Property owner and managers are wonderful!
