═══ ✦ About This Property ✦ ═══

Welcome to Me-Shell, a beloved 1932 oceanfront Nags Head cottage and a rare Outer Banks home that feels like a step back in time. Nestled along a quiet stretch of coastline with private beach access, this charming 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath retreat offers the simple pleasures that have made generations fall in love with the OBX—salt air, ocean breezes, and endless days by the sea.

This dog-friendly oceanfront cottage is perfectly positioned between the Atlantic Ocean and the Roanoke Sound, allowing guests to enjoy sunrises over the ocean and beautiful sunsets over the sound during the same stay. Whether you're enjoying morning coffee on the deck, spending the day on the beach, or unwinding on the porch as the sun sets, Me-Shell offers an authentic Outer Banks experience that's becoming harder to find.
