Drive south down Old Oregon Inlet where you'll find Runnin' Down A Dream, a charming and dog-friendly beach cottage that offers an unbeatable location for your next Outer Banks vacation.

Original pine paneling preserves the warmth and coastal character of this classic Nags Head style home, while the open-concept layout makes the space feel bright, airy and ideal for gathering. In addition to a sunroom for indoor/outdoor living, two levels of wrap-around decks provide plenty of room for soaking up the Vitamin D, relaxing in the shade, or simply breathing in the salty ocean air. With a a public beach access located five hundred feet from the house, you'll be just a two-minute walk to the sparkling Atlantic. Dogs are welcome at Runnin' Down a Dream, so your canine companions can join you on the pet-friendly beaches of Nags Head. Your furry friends will also love running around in the expansive yard without having to worry about traffic. If you're in the mood for some outdoor adventure, hop in the car and take a short drive to Coquina beach, a hidden gem that's a local's favorite spot for fishing and surfing. From there, explore Bodie Island Lighthouse or head south for a day trip to Ocracoke.

Great place phenomenal location and views

We really love this place. Our only complaint was the master with its own bathroom had huge furniture in it so it was hard to move around the room. The condition of the house was good but could use a little TLC updating. All the bedrooms in general were kindly of small. View a few ocean from the front deck, and the sound from the back deck with Bodie is light in the distance. It was wonderful to have the national seashore start at our backyard, quite beautiful! Will consider staying there again!
