Kemp & Olive Cottage: Tiny Cottage for Two Guests and Pups!

Summary:
Vacation in simpler times with your pups.

The sound of the screen door closing behind you, the smell of the sea in the air and the vintage feel of old school Nags Head - if you've ever said, "remember when," then this 1950's cottage is for you! Renovated yet nostalgic and full of classic Nags Head charm, this is the well-appointed beach cottage you’ve been looking for.

A dog-friendly cottage with a studio layout, Kemp & Olive features a well-equipped kitchen, a flat screen TV, WiFi, cable, a shared washer & dryer, and a mini-split heating & air conditioning system for optimal temperature control. The outdoor area offers an outdoor shower, charcoal grill, an outdoor hose, and a backyard firepit – B.Y.O firewood and smores!! For your convenience, the cottage has a cart for hauling your beach gear to and from the sand.

Linens and cleaning are included in the rate. Linens are provided by an independent vendor (bed linens, bath towels, washcloths, sheets). Bed will be made when you arrive!

Our awesome caretakers, Mike and Lisa, live nearby and are as committed to your experience as we are.

Located on the beach road, the property is just a short walk away from a beautiful beach access over a natural dune on Grouse Street (see aerial photos above). One of two cottages onsite, Kemp and Olive is one of just a handful of cottage courts still in existence in Nags Head.

In addition to many local retail shops, fine and casual dining establishments and grocery stores, the cottage is also close to many great local attractions including the beautifully renovated Jennette's Pier (less than one mile away), the North Carolina Aquarium in Manteo, Jockey's Ridge, Tanger Outlet shopping, Bodie Island Lighthouse, Coquina Beach, and off-roading and fishing at Oregon Inlet.

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 cottage.

Thank you for considering Kemp & Olive Cottage!

Sweet Getaway
We were looking for a quiet time away with our pup and Kemp and Olive fulfilled our desires! The short, five minute walk to the beach was awesome! We had plenty to do each day and then enjoyed coming back to the cottage, with all is amenities, to enjoy a relaxing evening ! The owner/caretakers were sweet and responsive! We would definitely visit again!

Cozy and Comfortable
Just perfect for one or two. It’s super cozy, and has all the comforts available to do so. The location is perfect…close to the beach, dining, Manteo and Hatteras access, shopping and sites. I will definitely rebook for next year, as nothing has come close to this property. It’s like a private getaway!
