This classic OBX beachbox cottage has been owned by the same family for several decades -- and cherished by our friends and other families who have selected this beautiful NC coastal community as their vacation destination for years!
Centrally located at Milepost (MP) 10, and the ideal location of "Between the Highways" (158 & 12) , this well appointed and handsomely landscaped cottage shares a small, quiet family-friendly street with a close-knit community of OBX regulars that is an easy 1.5 block walk to the Albatross Beach Access. The home features an open living arrangement with a large kitchen, dining, and family combo room adjacent to nice-sized covered front porch that includes built-in bench seating and two Adirondack rockers. Below the main floor of the cottage is additional space for relaxing in the sectional sofa and Nags Head handcrafted hammock. Imagine grabbing a cold drink from the little fridge and chilling out with your Buds at one of the built-in bar tables. Coming straight from the beach? No problem. Just hop in the outdoor shower that boasts two options: one on the sunny-outside and one on the covered-carport-side. A washer/dryer is available for your laundry needs. Beyond the carport is an extended backyard with plenty of room for you and your friends to play corn hole and other beach games with nice sun protection from a few mature trees. A built-in charcoal grill makes outdoor cooking easy and fun!
The historic gift shop, Ben Franklin, and the OBX favorite, Brew Thru, are a short walk away. Two major grocery stores -- Harris Teeter and Food Lion -- are nearby. The cottage is across the Hwy-158 from OBX ABC Store -- and within walking and biking distance from local eatery favorites like Front Porch Cafe, Kill Devil Grill, Country Deli, The Spot Ice Cream and newly opened Noosa Beach Grill, Swells'a Brewing Beer Company, and Mahi Mahi Island Grill. About one mile away, Dowdy Park offers five acres of recreation for every age and ability -- and, Wright Brother's National Memorial, Jockey's Ridge State Park, and Nags Head Woods Preserve are just three more of the many OBX outdoor activities to explore. Vacation passes are available for purchase at the YMCA-OBX should you wish to take in fitness and pool amenities while visiting.
Here to go fishing? Perfect. T.W.'s Bait & Tackle is located right across Hwy-158. Have a shopping itch? Excellent. T.J. Maxx is also right across Hwy-158 -- and the OBX Outlet Mall is 6 miles away. Surfing? Cool. Whalebone Surf Shop has it all right across Hwy-158. Rainy day? No worries. OBX Bowling Center is next to T.J. Maxx, Kill Devil Hills Multiplex is less than 4 miles down Hwy-158, and the cottage has two Smart TVs. Need to do a bit of business? We have Staples across Hwy-158, next to T.J. Maxx, and the locally-owned OBX Shipping Center is a short drive away. Have a bigger family to accommodate? There are a number of similar beachbox cottages on Atlas Street that welcome families just like yours -- and, Marriott's TownPlace Suites is a few blocks away.
The towns of Manteo and Ocracoke (to the South) -- and, Duck and Corolla (to the North) are all great day trips and provide further enjoyment for the entire family -- but, to be honest, most folks who visit just like grabbing their choice of cold beverages, doing a bit of beach combing and boogie boarding, a lot of porch chatting and rocking, and creating lifelong memories with their friends and families. We find that every season on the OBX brings it own unique beauty -- and, we look forward to hosting you soon. We know you and your family will love the OBX as much as we do!
* While we love our four-legged friends, we are unable to host them at our cottage. We appreciate you understanding. There are many OBX rentals that open their homes to your pets. If this is a requirement for your travels, we ask that you book with a rental property that can best accommodate your furry loved one(s). Thank you!
** NOTE: Atlas Street neighbors actively participate in the Community Watch program as established by the Town of Nags Head Police Division. While we want all our guests to have fun in the OBX, we also want to ensure their safety and well-being. The Community Watch assists local law enforcement with monitoring and reporting disruptive and illegal activities. We greatly appreciate our guests adherence to all OBX ordinances -- and to helping us keep our community safe, our beaches clean, and Fish Wish the happiest beachbox cottage to vacation while visiting the Outer Banks!
