About this house rental

Crawford Cottage has been home to family gatherings and special celebrations for generations. Our oceanfront home combines the historic charm of the classic Nags Head beach cottage with spacious modern living. It offers privacy, convenience, your own walkway to the beach and an oasis to enjoy your gathering.

You’ll find the Main house and the Cottage co-exist in harmony. The original updated 1940’s 4-bedroom oceanfront Cottage is connected by covered walkway to an exquisite, modern, 9-bedroom house. Natural wood throughout ties the buildings together with a warm glow, inviting you to savor your time with family and friends. Each bedroom is well appointed with ensuite bathroom. Situated on an acre of oceanfront property, the Cottage is an anomaly in Nags Head with over 9,500 sq ft of indoor living space and, best of all, 2,500 sq ft of sundecks and covered porches. If your family has grown enough to fill a small hotel, then Crawford Cottage is the perfect fit.

Special features include elevator, private pool, hot tub, cool dipping pool (3 ft depth), poolside cabana lounge, game room with wet bar and pool table, playroom with a ping pong table, 2 full well appointed kitchens (one in the Main House and smaller one in the Cottage), large rooftop sundeck with oversized chess board, screened porch, antique heart pine flooring, smart TV's, gas fireplace, wet bar with ice maker, ceiling fans, 3 washer/dryers and outdoor showers.

Unique place. Perfect for our family gathering. 4 generations, 25 of us. Plenty of room to be together or quite places to sit read/relax. Everyone enjoyed themselves. Grandchildren did not want to leave.

Lets start with the good - Host was great and very responsive. House was big and good for a large group. Lots of nooks and spaces for people to spread out. The not so good. House is older and could use better maintenance. Walkway to beach is bad. They say wear shoes to avoid splinters ... I say it needs to be replaced. Second house is dark and musty. Living room couch is not really a couch but outdoor patio furniture. Overall, I was expecting the house to live up to its 4.8 Star rating so my expectations were high... I feel a 3 or 3.5 star rating is more in line.

Exceeded expectations! Our first visit to OBX with the whole family. Kids especially loved the pool! Access to the beach, and the third floor balcony overlooking the ocean, what more could you want? Plenty of space, loved having the older cottage as a quiet spot option. Sandy was an excellent communicator and fantastic host! Highly recommend.

The property was just as advertised. We all enjoyed the two pools and the hot tub. It was maintained twice during our week. The house was fully stocked including tons of beach towels. All the bedrooms were very comfortable with adjoining bathrooms. There were 17 of us and the teenagers loved the smaller cottage. We would highly recommend this property. Also the owner (Sandy) was wonderful to work with.

This was the perfect space for a multiple family get together. Plenty of space for our group of 25 to spread out and large areas for us to all gather together. Sandy was an excellent host and very prompt with responses to any questions we had.

All my siblings, nieces, nephews and parents spent the week at Crawford Cottage and the 26 of us had plenty of space for the week!! The house had so much for the kids to do and the fact we were right on the beach and had our own pool was even better!! If we ever come back to OBX we will definately be looking this one up again.

We had a marriage celebration at the cottage with 30 of our closest friends and family and it couldn’t have been more perfect. Everyone felt at home. The house provided all that we needed. We took a chance with the weather for March but the sun came out and we enjoyed the beach too! Many many memories made at Crawford Cottage.
