Cahoons Cottages

Cahoons Cottages sits right on S Virginia Dare Trail in Nags Head — the beach road that runs along the Atlantic side of town, keeping this cluster of vacation cottages within easy reach of the sand without crossing Croatan Highway traffic to get there. It's a straightforward option for a family or small group looking to rent an actual cottage rather than a high-rise condo or a big rental complex.

Nags Head's Beach Road corridor is lined with these older-style cottage rentals, and Cahoons fits right into that pattern: a handful of individual units rather than one big building, which tends to appeal to renters who want some separation from neighbors and a bit more of a classic Outer Banks feel. The location puts you close to Jockey's Ridge State Park to the north and the rest of the Nags Head shops and restaurants along the Beach Road / Croatan Highway strip, with Kill Devil Hills and Kitty Hawk both a short drive up the corridor.

As with most Nags Head cottage rentals, summer stays typically run by the week during peak season (Memorial Day through Labor Day), while shoulder-season months of April, May, September, and October offer a quieter, less crowded version of the same beach. Reach out directly by phone or through the website for current availability and booking details.
