The Spoon Cottage - located on the Beach Road in Nags Head!

Located in the heart of Nags Head on the Beach Road, you'll find this super charming 2-bedroom historic cottage is all you need to have an amazing getaway on the Outer Banks. Located right next to the Surfin' Spoon, and across the street from Nags Head Pier, you are close to some of the most fun places around. You'll love the sound of the ocean and night life while sipping a cold drink on the screened porch. Grab the beach chairs provided, and walk across the street to enjoy the stunning beach and ocean waves! When you get back, there's a private outdoor shower to rinse off in, too. We love the old school Outer Banks vibes of the cottage, so it has been maintained in size and amenities to keep the feels of simpler times. There is enough space for a small family vacay, a fun friend's trip, or a couple's romantic retreat! We can't wait to host you!
*Things to be aware of:
-you will have two parking spaces; one in front of the house, and one behind
-there is an employee parking lot located behind the home for the Surfin' Spoon
-there will be some noise in the evening during the summer because Surfin' Spoon is next door, and people love to have a good time (you can always reach out to us if there is a problem)
-we are happy to provide with bed linens and bath towels, along with toilet paper, paper towels, and some cleaning supplies
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned cottage, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private patio. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a Smart television is provided for your entertainment. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.

Amazing Week at the Beach

We had a wonderful stay at The Mermaid's Pillow. It was our first real vacation as a family of 3. Close beach access and the pool allowed for us to relax with our 7 month old in tow. We would highly recommend a stay at The Mermaid’s Pillow!
