For buyers looking for a beach home with an established rental history, Cross Keys Cottage offers a compelling combination of income potential and oceanfront living.
Approximately 12 years ago, the current owners completed a major renovation and expansion of the home, including a new roof and low-maintenance extruded siding with concealed fasteners, no exposed nail heads, and a 250 mph wind rating. The addition was built on the road-side south corner of the home, adding approximately 5' x 15' of space across all three levels. Windows were replaced and added throughout the project to increase natural light, accommodate the additional square footage, and maximize ocean views.
Inside, the renovation was equally extensive. Flooring, doors, molding, and interior finishes were removed and replaced, walls were reconfigured, and bathrooms were renovated to create a more functional layout for larger groups. Composite decking and PVC railings were selected with durability and coastal upkeep in mind, while the tiled top-level deck adds a distinctive Florida-style feel and another inviting place to enjoy the oceanfront setting.
More recently, the top-level kitchen and primary bath were renovated approximately two years ago. The expanded kitchen features quartz countertops, updated cabinetry, upgraded appliances, two refrigerators, two dishwashers, and generous prep space for multiple cooks.

The eight-bedroom layout offers plenty of space and privacy for larger groups, with most bedrooms featuring their own private bath and two bedrooms connected by a Jack-and-Jill bath. Private suites are especially desirable for vacation renters, making this layout a strong fit for large families and groups traveling together. A built-in bunk room adds even more flexibility.
The home is packed with amenities designed for both entertaining and vacation rental use. An elevator provides convenient access between levels, while the ground-level recreation room features a pool table, bar with full-size refrigerator, comfortable sitting area with a large flat-screen TV, and direct access to the patio and outdoor entertaining spaces. Outside, enjoy a private heated pool, hot tub, outdoor bar, pickleball court in the driveway, outdoor shower, convenient outdoor half bath, garage, and private beach access with composite decking leading toward the sand.
Multiple levels of decking provide plenty of space to enjoy the ocean views and salt air, while the wide South Nags Head beaches add to the sense of space and provide added peace of mind along this beautiful stretch of shoreline.
Enjoy the quieter setting of S. Nags Head while remaining close to local favorites including Fish Heads, Jennette’s Pier, and Jockey’s Ridge.
