About this property

Soundside views in Nags Head! 4 bedroom cottage with tons of charm!

Located in one of the most desirable and historic neighborhoods in Nags Head, Wreckless Abandon is the perfect setting for your next vacation. From the covered front porch, you can enjoy cool breezes off the Roanoke Sound and some of the most beautiful sunsets on the East Coast. Full of Old Nags Head charm, Wreckless Abandon has been remodeled with all the modern conveniences for a comfortable vacation. The cottage, much like the Outer Banks itself, has a unique history that you will learn about upon checking in.
You will love the home's family friendly layout. Upstairs there are 2 spacious bedrooms with gorgeous Sound views. Each bedroom has a private vanity and toilet and there is one shared tub. On the main level, you will find 2 bedrooms, 2 full baths plus a den where you can catch up on work or find a good book. Enjoy the spacious living room divided into an area for watching television and another for chatting around the fireplace, playing games, or reading your favorite book. This floor also has a large, well stocked kitchen and a light filled, spacious dining area perfect for sharing a meal with loved ones.
Wreckless Abandon is conveniently located within a short drive of local shops, multiple grocery stores, and quality restaurants. It is also the perfect location from which to launch your Outer Banks adventures. You will only be a three-minute walk from the Jockey's Ridge State Park Estuarine Access where the entire family can relax and play in the calm waters of the Roanoake Sound. The shallow sound waters don't have the currents and waves of the ocean and never have "red flag" days! Like watersports? Launch your kayak or paddleboard from this nearby beach or, if you like your adventures a little more fast paced, this is one of the best places for kiteboarding or windsurfing on the East Coast. Jockey's Ridge State Park is also the perfect place for a nature hike. You can spend hours exploring the vast 427 acres of hiking trails, sand dunes, and beautiful maritime forest.
The Outer Banks is known for great fishing, and if you wish to bring your boat, we have plenty of room for your trailer.
An unforgettable experience awaits those who make Wreckless Abandon their Outer Banks vacation destination!

Challenges with accurate information

We arrived to find that the number and type of beds described on VRBO did not match the number and type of beds in the house. We called the property manager and they said VRBO must not have updated information off the property manager's website. Apparently the bed arrangement change was over a year old. Does that task fall on VRBO's shoulders or is the property manager's job to ensure accuracy of the listing across all platforms? The property manager was kind enough to drop off bedding for us to use (since we brought bedding for the beds listed, not the actual sizes in the house) and said they would give us $200 back at the end of our stay to compensate us for the time and effort needed to go buy an inflatable bed so that everyone had their own bed to sleep in. The location of the house was great as we were within walking distance of the sound side beach. The overall cleanliness was questionable as we found left over food wrappers, toys, and dust next to the easy chairs, under the beds (They are up off the ground - I was not searching for junk. I just saw it when making the beds.), and on the window sill behind one of the couches. There were also flies in the house. We killed nearly two dozen of them and they just kept coming. We did not leave the door wide open or any such thing and we could not locate the place where the flies got in or were breeding. That was a bit gross. As to our refund, it did take about three weeks and multiple phone calls before we got it.

Response from VrboOwner on 24 September 2024
Thank you for your review of Wreckless Abandon and we are glad that you enjoyed the location and neighborhood. We apologize again for the misunderstanding about the bedding arrangements. To clarify for future guests, this change was not over a year old but rather happened this year right around the time that this guest booked their trip. One room was changed - a twin bed was eliminated and a queen bed updated to a king. Information that is updated in our software system and website should automatically be updated in VRBO as well but we hear you about taking responsibility for double checking that and we will certainly do so in the future. Regarding the cleanliness and flies, this is the first that we are hearing of those issues and ask that guests notify us immediately if they have these kinds of concerns. Unfortunately things like wrappers under furniture happen occasionally as these homes are not deep cleaned on a weekly basis and some guests do not take good care. Finally, regarding the refund, our records show that this occurred about two weeks after your departure and we have no record of any phone calls pushing it forward, it just takes a little time to process the refund following your check-out. It should also be noted that the refund was actually $253.68, over 10% of the rent, and the bed linens were also provided free of charge. Thank you again.
