Tandem Cottage: Cozy Coastal Cottage, Short Walk to the Sand!

Summary:
Take a step back in to simpler times. Your family and friends will love this 1950's Fisherman's cottage charmer - a little hidden gem in OBX! The property has been painstakingly renovated to bring back the good ol' days while providing guests with all the amenities of home.

We're dog friendly - WOOF! We do have a two dog maximum policy (no cats, please!), but no additional pet fees. Located across the street from a beach access, the two bedroom, one bath cottage sits on a semi-oceanfront lot. The building has been lifted so you can enjoy views of the sound, catch beautiful sunsets, and watch kite-boarders in the distance. Other property features include WIFI, flat screen TVs (3), a well-stocked kitchen, and a fire pit. 

One of two cottages on site, the property is a part of one of the few cottage courts still existing in Nags Head. 

There is a two-dog maximum, we do not allow cats, and we do not charge a pet fee. There is no smoking allowed in the unit. This unit is not handicap accessible. We have a 30-day cancellation policy - refunds will only be issued if cancellation is submitted in writing to the property manager outside of 30 days from check-in date.

Thank you for considering Tandem Cottage!

Easy and Relaxed Visit of Nags Head

Tandem Cottage was overall a wonderful place to stay and might make it our go to spot for vacation. The place was very clean and updated. Amenities and supplies were plentiful! Definitely the spot to rent for small family getaways with your fur babies.

Get away @ Tandem Cottage

The property was pretty much as described,except for arriving to a dirty toilet and lavatory sink which we quickly cleaned,ourselves,and half the amount of towels and washcloths needed for the two of us for our 4 day stay,after a couple of times contacting the caretakers and property manager, and a couple of days later it was taken care of. Good location acrosshwy 12 from beach access,and close to food and activities, plus shopping at Nags Head.Thecottage was good and would recommend to couples,for a great getaway to the obx

Great cottage in a great location

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cottage was clean and well-appointed. Perfect size for our group of three adults. From this location we were easily able to explore across the Outer Banks, from Roanoke to Corolla to Ocracoke.

Cozy Cottage

We loved this cottage and look forward to booking for our vacation next year! A cozy cottage big enough for us and our two corgis, steps away from the shoreline and a mile down the road from Food Lion and, of course, Duck Donuts! The proximity of the cottage to Hatteras was a plus for us as we love beach driving and also took a day to go down to Ocracoke! There is so much to see and do on OBX, Nags Head is a great location to go to multiple areas with ease. The property managers were wonderful and responsive.

Nice winter weekend getaway

Came for 4 nights in mid January as a long weekend getaway for my husband's birthday. We also brought along our dog. Tandem Cottage was as advertised, well-furnished, and a block from beach access. The location was central for getting around, and we would stay here again...perfect size for what we needed.

Great Location in a Cute Cottage

This cottage was perfect for a weekend getaway. The owners were very nice and sent a list of great breakfast spots and left a coupon for a 1/2 dozen Duck donuts, which was a great treat! Only complaints were the lights flicker a lot and the beds were really squishy. Otherwise this was a great cottage in a great location.
