Experience the original Outer Banks-style cottage with a two-minute walk to the ocean. You will need to cross Rte.12 (the beach road) to reach the beach. Designed after classic Nags Head architecture, this custom-built cottage will take you back to the historic Cottage Row, across from Jockey's Ridge, reflecting the way cottages were built for the early residents of the Outer Banks.

Surrounded by cedar shakes, exposed hip roof porches, and propped-shuttered windows, sip your coffee in a wooden Adirondack chair and realize this is a new state of mind. At Carolina in My Mind, life slows down while the next line of pelicans floats by. We invite you to make memories between the tides. Experience life by the sea as it was long ago, but with all the modern conveniences, such as the free solar-panel heated pool during the fall and spring seasons.

Solar heated pool is available from 4/13/24 - 10/20/24.

Please note this home does not include bed linens and towels, however, an optional package can be purchased for an additional charge.

This house is wonderful!! The proximity to the beach is amazing and you have wonderful views of the ocean. So close to the beach yet in a quiet neighborhood…perfect. Close to stores mini golf etc. All beds were comfy as were the living areas. There was space to be together or apart which was great! The kitchen had everything you could want and was updated. We had a minor issue with the freezer getting stuck. The pool hot tub ping pong table and volleyball net were super options for us and our older daughters and their boyfriends. We would love to stay here again next year!!

This was the nicest house we have ever stayed in! It was beautifully decorated well equipped beautiful pool area with ping pong volleyball corn hole badminton! Having an extra refrigerator was awesome too. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need! I brought my own crock pot only to find one already there! Sofas really comfy. Beds have been used quite a bit and not too comfortable. But I hate to complain because this house is amazing! Plus it was just a very short walk to the beach!

We loved our stay this year at Carolina in My Mind. We’ve been coming to OBX since the early 90’s and have stayed in several different houses from grandiose to simple - But this house was perfect in every way. It checked all our must haves! We’ve already reserved for next year and quite honestly probably won’t change houses again! Thanks so much !! The Tiedge Family

Outstanding Value

My wife and I have rented this same property for about 15 years in a row. It has all the amenities that you could possibly want for a beach home and is wonderfully maintained. We will be back again this fall and have already booked again for next year. I would't think of any other place!!

Great Family Vacation here!
