Great house in Nags Head!

We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful home in Nags Head, NC! From the moment we arrived, the house felt incredibly welcoming and warm — the perfect fit for our family vacation. The layout was thoughtfully designed, making it easy and comfortable for multiple families to share the space without ever feeling crowded.There was plenty of parking, which made coming and going a breeze, and the convenient location made it easy to get to the beach, go for a walk, and go for a bike ride. The host was a pleasure to work with — friendly, responsive to messages, and clearly committed to making sure our stay was smooth and enjoyable. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend and would love to return!

Beautiful Beach Home

My family loved our stay in this beach house. It has everything we needed and the kitchen was stocked with plenty of cooking items. Short driving distance to the ocean front and short walk to sound side beach.

Great OBX vacay

Enjoyed staying at a cute, clean, well stocked home in Nags Head. We were close enough to the beach with a short drive, and for a small daily fee, we accessed the community pool. Convenient to grocery stores, restaurants and shopping. Owners were helpful and responsive as well. Great place to visit!

This house was great, it was close to the beach and pool- approximately a 5 minute drive to the beach and the a quick drive to the pool. In addition, there were many great choices for shopping both food, restaurants and fun stuff. I would highly recommend this house for your next vacation.

Your Home Away from Home

This was a three generation family trip. We range in age from 4 to 83. We all felt at home in this cottage. It is cozy and well stocked down to children games. The atmosphere is relaxed and "beachy". It is a short drive to the beach. We had a wonderful stay.

Outer banks

Overall the experience was good, the couch was suppose to have a pull out bed but the metal framing was broken and the bed was unable to be supported, the main level bathroom also had a clogged toilet when we arrived. The property was nice and the space was wonderful we enjoyed the set upon the dining room and very nice neighborhood.

Our Stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful house. The owners were super helpful before our trip. The house was perfect for my family and the location was great. There were several public beach access availability nearby. We enjoyed walking the neighborhood. The pool was a bit of a letdown because it was more expensive than advertised.

Wonderful, clean home, in an excellent location

Our family loved this home! We were truly impressed with how clean and stylish everything was. Not to mention, it was just a short drive to the beach, restaurants, and all the fun attractions. The outdoor spaces were fantastic, ideal for hanging out and enjoying some grilling. The owner was also incredibly helpful and gave us awesome recommendations for local spots. I highly recommend this place if you're planning a trip to Nags Head. It made our stay absolutely unforgettable!

Excellent House - Will be back!

Despite being washed out of a fishing trip, this property was an absolute treat. Everything you possibly wanted in area with easy access, good location, and great walkability. Owners were outstanding--will definitely be back! Book this house (unless it's on a weekend that I want!)

Vacation Treat

The accommodations were suitable and comfortable. We were not aware of the two long flights of stairs inside until we got to the property. Some of us have mobility issues, so we had to work out how we could maneuver the steps. We managed, should have read the description of the interior more closely. I was just so glad to have located a place to stay in Nags Head.

So close!

This is a beautiful house, and the owners provide everything in the kitchen, the dining room (water cooler!), or otherwise that you could need. However, I have to be honest for people with families and mention that the only downsides are the neighbor (on the right, if you're facing the front door) who blasts the stereo/TV at 8am where it rattles the walls of your house, and the master bedroom mattress which drove us to the separate twin beds at age 50. I know the first part of this isn't the owners' fault, but confronting the neighbors isn't what I'm looking to do on vacation. The bed situation is an issue. Everything else about the place is great.
