Island Dancer is a historic, comfy cottage and will be the perfect home for your getaway to the OBX. Built in 1935 this quaint cottage has survived more than eighty years along the coast of the Outer Banks. Families came to the Outer Banks in the 1900s in the summer to escape the heat of the inland farms and to enjoy the sea and ocean air for a healthier living. Many of these historical homes still have family ties to the original owners. Families spent the day at the beach and relaxed on their covered decks in the evening sharing stories with family, friends, and neighbors. These homes added modern conveniences as the years went by but the laid-back lifestyle is still possible to enjoy. Island Dancer is your answer to the perfect place to unwind and rejuvenate from the fast-paced life we live in. Bring your favorite books and games and hang out on the covered decks.

Relive the memories of years gone by and make your new traditions and memories with the family, friends, and your doggies. Island Dancer has all the modern conveniences you need whether you are preparing your favorite meals, watching movies, or ending your day in a comfy bed getting ready for the next day's adventures.

Exploring the Outer Banks: You'll want to check out the local restaurant directly across the street, Tortuga's Lie for some delicious meals. The OBX has so much to see and do, so plan some days to try more of our local restaurants, unique shops, historical sites, and outdoor adventures.

Beach Access: A private walkway behind the home leads you to the beautiful beaches and ocean where you can spend the day basking in the sun, swimming, surfing, and maybe find some sea glass to take home.

*Oceanfront homes are subject to beach nourishment projects scheduled by individual towns. Visit our FAQ regarding beach nourishment and links to town provided schedules.*

    The cottage was great and the location even better. All you need for a memorable and affordable vacay in the OBX. I've been coming to the outer banks for 40 years and had never eaten at Tortugas. Since it was located directly across the street, we took advantage of it's proximity. Delicious!

    Walk right out to the beach every morning! Love it! Walking and Biking distance for most close activities. All others within 10 minutes to anything looking to do. 20 minute drive to offshore fishing. Ideal location for a rustic, vacation in North Carolina.
