The Surf Shack,Charming historic cottage, steps to the beach, Nags Head MP 11

Take a step back in time and enjoy old Nags Head charm at it's best. The larger cottage on the property, 'Surf Shack', has undergone a complete and total renovation. We just finished the kitchen this winter, brand new! It has all the modern amenities we require, plus the old school charm of 1950s Nags Head.

The Surf Shack Cottages are located on the Beach Road at MP 11, directly across from the Bainbridge Beach Access. We're just a few short steps to the beach and very close to the Nags Head Pier, restaurants, shopping and Jockey's Ridge. The Nags Head Pier has live music several nights a week in the summer. Our favorite activity (other than sunbathing, of course) is to take some cold beverages down to the beach and listen to the tunes from the comfort of our own sandy spot.

Surf Shack has 3 Bedrooms, 1 Bath, Bright airy Living Room with vaulted ceiling, Kitchen and Dining/Sunroom. The largest bedroom has a queen bed and the two smaller bedrooms have full size beds. The cottage is equipped with a new flat screen TV, cable, high speed internet, AC, laundry and a gas grill. Enjoy coffee in the morning or a cocktail in the evening on one of the two front porches.

Sorry to the doggies, but Surf Shack Cottages does not allow pets.

Come stay at Surf Shack Cottages, we know you'll love it!

Great stay!
The Lil Surf Shack was perfect for our little family of 3. We had plenty of space and everything was well stocked to suit our needs. The location was perfect! The beds/mattresses could use a little TLC but otherwise, we loved this little place. We will definitely consider staying here again should we ever find ourselves back that way again.

As it states, a taste of old nags head! No frills,.no problem! Loved everything down to the trash service. Love that it hasn't been torn down & replaced with an oversized beach house.

The property was very charming! And it was close to everything. And it is just a stone's throw away from the beach! Howeverrr... there were just a couple of things that needs tending to. The showerhead and window in the main bathroom need replacing. Also, the doors get stuck. However, we were surrounded by a clean,safe, and beautiful environment!

Nice off-season getaway
Stayed at Surf Shack for our first time during our annual Thanksgiving weekend trip. As such, we've stayed at a few comparable properties over the years. It was as cozy as the name implies; however, it truly is a very seasoned cottage in terms of its structure and condition: an old beach shack that needs some TLC investment inside and out. The main living spaces offered everything we needed for a weekend trip to the area and a place to crash at the end of the day after watching some TV in the evenings. The living room was fine for a couple people to kick back and watch the 50" smart TV with soundbar. The kitchen had all the essentials for our limited needs. The queen bed was fine for a couple nights but the small smart TV was strangely mounted on the wall crooked. The side porch had come to be used as storage for assorted beach gear and wasn't really furnished or usable as a place to sit and relax, which sadly was something we typically look for and expected based on the profile pics. The front porch Adirondack bench was very comfortable for sitting with coffee and cocktails. The location overall was also very convenient to the beach, shopping, and restaurants. We noted that VA Dare Trail in that section of Nags Head seemed pretty busy and loud (day and night) compared to the more southern area of Nags Head but it was fine. Owner was very responsive at check-in when we contacted her to get the lockbox code, which has not been sent in advance. The issue was quickly resolved and the other property info we'd received was very helpful. Overall, Surf Shack served it purpose for our brief stay. However, time is catching up with it as a structure and the comfort level of its furnishings in today's competitive vacation rental marketplace.

Excellent location
The first impression was not good. The outside needs a lot of attention as the front yard is very overgrown, the porch rails are rotten and falling apart, the top of the porch/ and windows are peeling and need painting badly, the front porch light did not work properly. The inside is darling, very nicely decorated and had everything anyone could need. The only issue with the inside was the stove clock and controls were falling into the stove and I was afraid to use the stove at all. Just needs some TLC and since I am that kind of person I was thinking of all the ways that I could fix everything. The location could not be beat. Close to the beach, restaurants, ice cream parlors. And it has 3 bedrooms and one bath- perfect for several people. I will most definitely rent here again. I really just wanted to let the owner know in case she is not over there much about some of the things that need attention. We had a wonderful time sitting/rocking on the front porch and look forward to next time.
