Overview

First Colony Inn is a historic oceanfront beach hotel originally constructed in 1932 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The property features a shingle-style structure with expansive wraparound verandas, along with 26 uniquely appointed guest rooms. Many rooms include kitchenettes, sitting areas, whirlpool tubs, or private porches. Outdoor amenities include a seasonal outdoor pool, landscaped grounds, and welcoming common areas. The listing also notes convenient beach access nearby and an association presence with cable TV and beach access.

The property is located in the heart of Nags Head and is in-city limits. It offers oceanfront views and includes oceanfront parcels totaling approximately 210 feet of direct Atlantic Ocean frontage, providing a development, expansion, or preservation option for the beachfront holdings.

For hospitality operators, the existing inn configuration and guest-room mix support continued use as a beach lodging property with established amenity offerings. For buyers focused on land value or adaptive reuse, the included direct oceanfront frontage provides an additional component within the same offering, combining an operating historic asset with premier beachfront property.
