Classic Oceanfront Living Awaits at Charming Harper
For a charming beach retreat, make a date with Harper - a classic Nags Head cottage with the perfect location that's right on the beach! Located oceanfront alongside several other historic homes in the town, Harper is the perfect home for any vacationer who loves to spend the day soaking up the sunshine with their toes in the sand. The Atlantic Ocean is literally footsteps from your front door, and along with the beachfront location, Harper is also close to some of the area's best shopping, restaurants, and attractions. The Nags Head Fishing Pier and Jennette's Pier are both located only a few miles away in either direction, so when you've got the urge to catch your own fresh, local seafood, you won't have to travel far.

When you pull up to this adorable cottage right on the sand, you'll be greeted with plenty of parking as well as a Covered Carport with its own wooden sitting area that's perfect for afternoon relaxation as you listen to the sound of the wind and waves nearby. Rinse off in the Outdoor Shower before heading upstairs and don't forget to throw your sandy beach towels in the Ground-Level Washer and Dryer to get them ready for the next day's exciting Outer Banks adventures. Take your private walkway right out onto the sand when you're ready to start over again and greet the day with the sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean.

On the Main Level, get cozy in the Living Room surrounded by classic wooden paneling where you can enjoy your favorite films or a family movie night gathered around the SmartTV. Cook up your own fresh catch in the modern Kitchen (newly renovated in 2022) with updated appliances and plenty of prep space to create your perfect vacation feast. Settle in at the Breakfast Bar with seating for 3 or enjoy your meal together in the Dining Area, which has seating for 6. And if having your meal with a side of salt air is more your style, a picnic table out on the Furnished Sun Deck offer the ideal beachside dining experience right by the dunes. Back inside, pass by the Full Hallway Bathroom to get settled into one of the 3 Queen Bedrooms that offer plenty of space as well as privacy and true Outer Banks comfort.

Take advantage of the privacy of another living space in the Loft with Ocean Views, a cozy Den, and an additional Flatscreen TV. You'll also find 2 more Queen Beds as well as a Bathroom with a Shower and a private Balcony that's great for quiet mornings with a cup of coffee and your favorite Outer Banks beach read. One stay at Harper will have you coming back year after year to this idyllic oceanfront home.

Unbeatable Central Location in Nags Head
When you stay at Harper, you'll have easy access to a variety of Outer Banks attractions, restaurants, retail shops, and local landmarks. Jockey's Ridge State Park is one of the best places on the entire island to catch a stunning sunset over the Roanoke Sound. Both Jennette's Pier and the Nags Head Fishing Pier offer opportunities for pier fishing and sightseeing as well as the Nags Head Fishing Pier's full-service restaurant and oceanfront bar with an amazing view from every seat. You'll also be just a short drive from the Nags Head Town Park and Nags Head Woods Preserve, a gorgeous nature preserve in the heart of Nags Head that is perfect for hiking and sightseeing. When you're ready to experience some Outer Banks history, Harper is just minutes away from the Wright Brothers National Memorial and the Bodie Island Lighthouse.
