New for 2022: Remodeled Kitchen w/New Appliances; New SmartTV in Living Room 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.
