Beaming views of the sunrise over the ocean and comfortable seaside living await you at Drift-A-Wave. Recently remodeled and located in South Nags Head at milepost 20.5, this three-bedroom, two bath beach bungalow combines classic Outer Banks beach living with some modern touches all less than 100 feet from a wide-open beach access. The open layout features a well-equipped kitchen connected to the dining and living areas with all new furnishings all with ocean views and access to the fabulous decks. Open the sliding glass door and step outside onto the screened in porch, perfect for hosting an oceanside seafood feasts or a simple morning cup of coffee. You can even wander up to the rooftop sun deck to catch some rays or admire the views of both the sunrises over the Atlantic Ocean and sunsets over Bodie Island unmatched by many other oceanside homes in South Nags Head.

Drift-A-Wave features one king en suite along with two additional bedrooms, one with two sets of twin bunks and another with a queen bed, both of which share a full hall bath. Additionally, all the bedrooms in Drift-A-Wave have been furnished and outfitted with nice bedding. They are also equipped with flat screen TVs with cable including HBO and Cinemax. Truly a classic Outer Banks cottage but, with the newer modern conveniences.

As our tiny beach community has grown in popularity, most areas of the Outer Banks have lost that quiet, remote feeling that made our beaches so famous. Located near the less traveled southern end of South Nags Head, Drift-A Wave’s location does remind of those simpler times yet still is centrally enough located to enjoy our growing list of attractions. Just to your east you can plan one of your vacation days on Roanoke Island and while there be sure to visit The Elizabethan Gardens and Manteo Waterfront. A few miles to the South you can visit the historic Bodie Island Lighthouse or charter your own fishing trip out of famous Oregon Inlet. South Nags Head also features an underappreciated multi-use walking path that parallels Old Oregon Inlet Road for 4.5 miles and is great for biking, jogging, and family walks.

Small in stature but, large in charm, embrace the island lifestyle and drift away at this comfortable yet affordable beach cottage.

This home does not include sheets and towels. However, an optional package can be purchased for an additional charge. No pets, please.

The view and proximity to the beach was what made us select this house. Absolutely amazing.

short walk to beach

The house was just right size for us and was just a very short walk to the beach. The kitchen was very well stocked with pots and pans. The one thing that would have made it better was a larger griddle - such as an 11 inch stove top griddle. Our bed was comfortable and the pillows were very comfortable. There was nothing else that we needed!

great views from rooftop

The best thing about this home was its location. It was only about 50 feet to the beach access and the screened in porch and rooftop sundeck offered great ocean views. The amenities did not matter so much since the home had such a great location. The kitchen was a bit small and was missing a couple things. The beds were fairly comfortable and the two-person love seat sofa was very nice. We would definitely stay here again.

our fourth stay here!

This was our fourth stay in Drift-a-Wave out of 22 years of visits to different places most times. This is our favorite it feels like we came home when we walk in. Love it! I don’t cook on vacation but kitchen looked like it was well equipped. We come for the beach but it’s nice to have a comfy place to go to at the end of the day!

The house was comfy! The beds were great and sofas were comfortable. The kitchen was small but had all the necessary things. The house was great but it felt shaky. If the wind blew to hard the house moved.

Just a little tweaking and it would be perfect! The kitchen needs glasses lacking. Plastic ones for kids would be a good idea. The beds and living space was all good.

This was a great house close to the beach. It was comfortable and had wonderful views from the top deck. The screened in porch allowed us to sit outside and not be eaten by mosquitos. The kitchen was well equipped. We hope to return next year!

House was great! Wather didn't want to cooperate at first but the back half of the week wasd amazing and thats when this house shines. The screemed porch was great for breakfast with the family and the rooftop was great to unwind and listen to the ocean. One of the best values for the money anywhere.
