Along a two-mile stretch in Nags Head sits a row of homes that will take you back to days gone by and the Fred Wood Cottage c.1930. These beautiful oceanfront, old Nags Head style cottages are a testament to the pioneers who built these and brought their families across the sound to vacation here in the summer. The wide expansive porches are a distinctive feature of these homes, encircling four sides of the house with sloping roofs and providing a place for families to gather out of the sun. Many hours were spent on the porches watching the ocean and talking with family, friends, and neighbors. The Fred Wood Cottage is known to have the best front porch on the east coast! Inside you'll feel the history continue with the wood-paneled walls and wooden floors and charming decor. This historic home is sure to be a family favorite year after year. Fred Wood Cottage was built to withstand the elements and keep families comfortable during the summer. Take the sandy path to the beach and enjoy a day basking in the sun, surfing, swimming, and searching for seashells and sea glass. Bring your family and friends to this beautiful home and add to the new memories being made in this historic home.
