Ridge Retreat II – A Historic Nags Head Treasure
Step into Ridge Retreat II, a cherished family heirloom built in 1938, where generations of loved ones have gathered to embrace the timeless magic of the Outer Banks. This classic Nags Head cottage is more than just a place to stay—it’s a piece of history, deeply rooted in the community and standing as a testament to the enduring beauty of the OBX coastline.

Perched just one house back from the ocean, with semi-private pedestrian access only 150 feet from the beach, Ridge Retreat II invites you to experience the Outer Banks the way it was meant to be—through long days on the shore and evenings spent on the expansive covered porches, letting the rhythm of the waves and the salty breeze carry your cares away.

This home holds a special place in Outer Banks history, with one of its owners having worked alongside Carolista Fletcher Baum to protect and preserve Jockey’s Ridge from development. Thanks to their efforts, this towering natural wonder—the largest active sand dune on the East Coast—remains a playground for adventure, exploration, and breathtaking sunsets. Today, Ridge Retreat II overlooks this iconic landscape, offering a truly unique setting where history and nature meet.
