About this house rental
Make Gillespie Cottage the home away from home that your family will want to return to year after year. This classic oceanfront retreat in South Nags Head offers exceptional views and your own private access to the beach. Two levels of east-facing covered decks provide plenty of outdoor space for watching the sunrise and listening to the crashing waves. Inside, kick back and relax in the comfortably furnished great room, where vaulted ceilings and multiple skylights make the space feel bright and airy. The open-concept layout is perfect for spending quality time together, even while preparing meals in the well-equipped kitchen. The primary bedroom and a full bath are also located on the top level, with four additional bedrooms and two more full baths on the mid level. This wonderful home provides comfort, convenience and so much more for your family to enjoy.
Located at milepost 19.5 in South Nags Head, Gillespie Cottage is a mile south of the Outer Banks Fishing Pier and Fish Head's Bar and Grill, where you can order food and drinks on the oceanfront while listening to live music. Coquina Beach, part of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore and a favorite local spot for fishing and surfing, is a six-minute drive away. From there, explore Bodie Island Lighthouse or head south for a day trip to Ocracoke.

Great location and beautiful views.House was clean but underneath the house there was trash like a broken lounge chair and a couple more things that were left. Wasn’t a big issue though. House accommodated my family and myself well and had everything we needed. Would stay there again.

This home is so close to the beach. After climbing the dune, youre rewarded with a very short walk to the beach. We could have brought 4-5 more people with us, plenty of space so the 5 of us never felt ontop of each other.

Fantastic house, made for a great mother’s day and celebration for my wife’s birthday. The house does need a little tlc and the air conditioning in the upper living area was not working making it a bit warm for sleeping. But otherwise the house was exactly what we were looking for.
