Tangerine Dreams in South Nags Head Ocean Front

Welcome to Tangerine Dreams! Located on the beach in South Nags Head this cottage is exceptional for it’s authentic beach cottage feel with the modern updates that make your vacation on the Outer Banks become a tradition and not a visit. . Nestled behind the dunes with it’s own pier to the beach and a sunrise dune deck, the cottage has been updated with Central Air/Heat and a truly “one of a kind” outdoor shower/bathroom. With 3 bedrooms, the cottage sleeps 7: with two Master Bedrooms, One Bunk room with trundle bed and a futon bed in the den for that uncle that showed up unannounced and snores. In case you were wondering, there is an indoor bathroom as well. Built in the 1950’s, this cottage is located in walking distance from the Nags Head Fishing Pier. While South Nags head is sought after for it’s wide beaches and low density without the commercial sprawl, the Pier offers excellent live entertainment, fishing, great shrimp happy hours, and karaoke. The cottage is also conveniently located minutes away from the famous fishing grounds of Oregon Inlet in one direction and minutes away from Historic Manteo in another. For the City Slickers, the Tangor Outlet Mall is also 10 minutes North. There is no better location on the Outer Banks than South Nags Head to appreciate the authentic beach vacation with minimal commercialism and yet still have access to the High bustle areas.

This cottage sitting right on the beach was perfect for our Nags Head getaway. An excellent location, tucked right behind the dunes and steps away from the ocean! The cottage was clean, fully furnished and kitchen stocked with necessities should you want to cook or eat at home rather than going out. The front porch with adirondack chairs was ideal for afternoon cocktails and morning coffee. We loved Tangerine Dreams and will be returning for sure. And the host was super responsive. A hidden gem in the OBX!!!

Had a great time fishing was not good but oh well. Every thing was as described but there needs to be a flood light on the front of the house and the back of the house. There also needs to be little lights on the walk way at the porch and the outside shower. It is very dark walking in from car or the beach but we love the cottage.

Little diamond in the sand

We vacationed for a week in OBX in Tangerine Dreams. This Outer Banks beach house is an original bungalow home. It sits behind a dune, but has a walkway to access the beach, directly behind the home. The house itself has all new LVP flooring throughout, an updated bathroom, all stainless steel appliances in kitchen, to include a full size refrigerator. Every bedroom now has a flat screen TV hung from the wall, plus one in main living area. We were able to cook meals without any issue with all kitchenware that is provided. We enjoyed much family time playing games we brought at the kitchen table when it rained one afternoon, while looking out the 3 windows in that area of the weather outside. There is also an outdoor shower and toilet, which are also all new. And super convenient. The location is convenient to get to Manteo or Hatteras areas, and is a nice trip to get to northern areas of beach, for restaurants and shopping. Jenette's Pier is about 2ish miles up the road as is one of our faves Sam and Omies. Fishheads Restaurant on the Outer Banks pier is about a mile up the road, an easy walk on the paved exercise trails.The owner is super responsive. We discovered a GFI outlet in bathroom was not working and he came and fixed it promptly. We also obtained earlier access to the house, than the late afternoon check in time, once the cleaners came through and finished. That was so nice and convenient! We only have positives to share! This was a wonderful stay, a hidden gem!

It's not tangerine!!!!

We had a hard time finding house from the road, because we were looking for tangerine! After we figured out the exact location we fell in love. We will definitely be back . Perfect little house, perfect escape! My son Niko cried when we had to leave! He didn't want to say good bye to the ocean!goobye

Love, LOVE this house and location!!

Great beach cottage with more than enough room for everyone! Literally just steps away from the beach. Southern end of Nags Head, so the beach wasn't crowded at all! Super close to tons of restaurants and shopping. Only critique being I miss the Tangerine exterior!! Lol. Hopefully the owners will paint it back at some point. Overall, we had a great stay and we will definitely be coming back!!

Cute little beach bungalow

Cute little place nestled just below the dunes. Path from the house to the beach is very narrow. Also of note the house is no longer tangerine so we were a bit confused if we had the right place or not when we first arrived. Zach was very responsive to messages when an issue with the AC arose. The problem was fixed the next day. Don’t plan on sleeping in if you stay there anytime soon. There is a new house being built next door and construction crew arrives at 7am and is throwing around tools and loudly talking and yelling at each other. They start working at 7:30am sharp using chainsaws and beating and a banging all day long until dark. I was really looking forward to a relaxing week of sleeping in but that did not happen. Ladies, there are also no plugs in the bathroom for hair dryer or curling irons so you will have to do that in one of the bedrooms. There is also no washer or dryer in this house. Despite these little inconveniences we did enjoy our stay and spent a lot of time on the screened in porch.
