Nice cottage

Nice place for 2 people. Very clean, bed was comfortable, easy check in and out.Great location more or less centrally located for all the attractions. Close to restaurants and shopping. Quiet neighborhood. Host was very responsive. The only drawbacks were lack of kitchen supplies and linens. Only 2 threadbare towels provided 2 washcloths 2 hand towels. Bring your own towels if you stay here. Minimal amount of cooking supplies except for spices. Also only a 5 cup coffee maker.TV in living room has no volume control and if you mute it you have to turn off and on again to get it unmuted. I would stay here again.

OBX Getaway

The property was nice and clean and the bed was super comfortable. It is close enough to the beaches to easily drive there in a couple of minutes and far enough away to avoid the inflated cost of rentals on the beach.

Fantastic spot for a getaway

The place was way more spacious and functional than we expected, making for an incredibly comfortable stay. Huge bed, quiet neighborhood, awesome layout with two porches and an outdoor shower that’s clutch for the summer. We comfortably walked our gear to the beach and back from this location and got in a ton of delightful meals all within walking/biking distance as well. We hope we have the opportunity to stay here again as this quickly became our favorite rental property of all our stays in OBX over the past 6 trips.

Nice quiet place-secluded yet close to everything.

The house was very nice and equipped with most everything we needed. Although we didn't do any cooking there are plenty of cookware and utensils. The rooms were very clean. It was perfect for a couple to get away and enjoy the serenity. There are plenty of excellent restaurants within a few minutes driving (and we ate at a different one most every day). There's a public beach entrance about 3 or 4 blocks away. We would stay here again if we came back to Nags Head.

Nag’s Head visit

The house was clean and pleasant. The neighborhood was quiet. The public beach access is a 5-10 minute walk but you can drive in 2 minutes. There was always parking available at the Barnes Street beach access but we usually walked.

Charming & Efficient

Well appointed property. Adequate for our stay and day trips to various areas of the outer banks. Kitchen was a little slight on cooking equipment but manageable. TVs were a little complicated but we managed as our preferences was outside on the darling back porch.

Although I could not go on our weekly vacation, due to an unexpected medical emergency, we had family members go in our place. They said the pictures on Vrbo didn’t give the place justice. They said it was a beautiful retreat. We’re looking forward to renting this again soon!

Totally at home!

Great home in a great residential neighborhood. Our host left a list of suggestions for beaches, restaurants, places to go. The kitchen was stocked as good as my own kitchen at home! That was really appreciated as so often VRBOs just have a bare minimum in the kitchen. We had a great stay and would definitely go back!!!
