SEA GLASS OCEANFRONT COTTAGE.

Sea Glass is a charming oceanfront beach cottage located at the end of a quiet cul de sac in South Nags Head . . . and the Atlantic Ocean is literally your backyard. The beach starts at the bottom of the stairs :-) Enjoy outside living on the large oceanfront covered porch with a tall table + 4 tall chairs, plus a picnic table. Grab a good book and a glass of wine and enjoy the salty air and shimmering ocean at sunset . . . my favorite time of day :-) Or perhaps a nap in the double sized hammock below is more your speed? Sea Glass cottage features a large open living area with bamboo flooring, lots of natural light, and lovely ocean views. The well equipped kitchen features stainless steel appliances, fridge with ice maker and filtered water on door, and an island bar overlooking the adjoining dining and living rooms. Sea Glass accommodates 6 people (4 adults & 2 kids). There is an oceanfront queen, an oceanfront twin bunk room, and a king bedroom with it's own half bath. The shared full bath features a shower with tub should you need one for the kids . . . but trust me, you'll be taking all your showers in the large private, enclosed outside shower with hot and cold water.

Enjoy spectacular shelling, surf fishing, sun bathing, surfing, swimming, kayaking . . . and so much more. Or just stay put and enjoy the peace and quiet, and the sound of the ocean. Your family will remember the memories you make at Sea Glass for generations!

* Please note you must be at least 27 years old to rent this cottage.

* Cottage accommodates up to 4 adults and 2 children.

*Linens are not included, therefore you will need to bring sheets and pillow cases (1 king, 1 queen, and 2 single bunkbeds). All of the beds have quilts and pillows. You will also need to bring bath, hand, wash, dish and beach towels. HOWEVER, if you do not wish to bring your own there are several companies that rent linens and will deliver and pick them up directly to and from the cottage which we can refer you to.

* This is a NON-SMOKING cottage.

* Up to 2 pets are considered. Must be fully house trained. No puppies under a year. Please provide breed, sex and age when requesting to book.

* * If the week you are looking for isn't available, check out our other oceanfront cottages: Sweet Tea cottage VRBO# 1682458 and Lemonade cottage VRBO# 955984, both in Kitty Hawk.

This was our second year staying at Sea Glass cottage. It has become our favorite vacation house. We are a family of four so it is perfect for me, my husband, and our two daughters. We love its cozy feel, proximity to the beach, and quiet lane. Kim is super responsive and attentive to your family’s stay and needs. Highly recommend! We will return for year three in 2026!

The house was very clean and we had a nice welcome card and bottle of wine waiting in the fridge. The only thing I thought was misleading was the picture of the house and the caption that says “spectacular ocean views”. There is no clear view of the ocean from the house because of the dunes. Other than that we had a lovely stay.

SEA GLASS COTTAGE Great Vacation!

It was a great week for my husband and I, and what made it especially wonderful was taking our 15 yr old granddaughter along! The Sea Glass Cottage had everything we needed and it was right on the beach!! We had so much fun. Lots to do, great shopping places, amazing restaurants and the owners were local and continued to reach out to see if we needed anything. Loved it! Would stay again!

Minimalist dream vaca

While this property is small in comparison to many of the surrounding houses but for our family it was exactly how we like it. It has everything you need, nothing more, nothing less. The owners check in regularly to ensure everything is going smoothly. The location is farther from the businesses so it is nice and quiet yet you have the beach right outside your door. Yes, the dune is tough to traverse but that’s not the owners fault. Would definitely book again!

Sea Glass Oceanfront Cottage

Location is amazing and the main reason we booked! The oceanfront location of this cottage was absolutely wonderful My husband and I enjoyed the pretty sand dunes & partial ocean views directly in front of the cottage during the day & evenings when we weren't down on the beach. Kim Milby, cottage co-owner, was accommodating, interactive and very responsive to all of our communications. She is absolutely delightful A chilled bottle of wine & welcoming note in the fridge were a lovely touch too.Parts of the cottage have been renovated, while other areas like the kitchen & it's equipment are dated & worn. Beach access is a challenge for anyone with mobility issues; the dune pathway to the beach is a short, but steep climb; the downward path to the beach is even more steep. There is no boardwalk, handrail or dune protecting materials to walk on when accessing the beach. On-site washer/dryer as very convenient too.We would definitely book Sea Glass Cottage again.

Clean, simple, and well-appointed beachfront cottage

This 3-bedroom cottage is steps from the beach. The interior is very clean, with a well-equipped kitchen and open-concept living space. The ideal beachfront location, coupled with the adorably decorated and well-maintained interior provided a pleasant and relaxing setting for our family vacation. We would return next year for sure!

Great cottage!

Our trip was rained out during Debby, but it was saved by the beautiful cottage. You can really tell when the owners are directly involved with the maintenance of the property. Everything we could have needed was there with little extra touches to make it a homey stay. The cottage was spotless, and the beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed lots of family time at the dining table and great porch time. It was perfect for our family of four.

Another amazing week at Sea Glass!

We really enjoyed our fourth summer vacation week at the Sea Glass Cottage! The cottage was clean, comfortable and well equipped, as always, and the proximity to the beach is hard to beat. Communication with Kim and Mark was excellent — they made sure everything was perfect and were always just a phone call away. The location 5-6 miles south of the busier commercial area of Nags Head is ideal, with stores easily accessed, but well away from more crowded stretches of beach. We couldn’t ask for more and hope to return next summer!
