Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Mike Olson
Meet the Olsons! During their breaks from college, both headed to the OBX for the summer - Renee worked in local retail and the famous Captain Franks, while Mike was a lifeguard for the Kill Devil Hills Lifeguard Beach Service (LBS) and Nags Head Ocean Rescue team. Their love of the beach brought them together, and their enthusiasm for the beach life continues to this day.
When not spending time at the beach, Mike and Renee live in Chesterfield, VA with their two children, Meganne and Max, along with their two furry children, dogs Bo and Boomer.
OBX I and OBX II are standout properties in the area. OBX I is a 5-bedroom oceanfront property with unobstructed views of the ocean and direct, private access to the beach. It is a large, relaxed and accommodating house with the feel of a traditional beach cottage.
OBX II is a good family-sized property with 3 bedrooms and a pool. Situated nearer to Nags Head itself, many of the popular amenities (the beach, Jeanette’s Pier, restaurants) are all within walking distance. The kids love it!
Both houses are reasonably priced and offer great value for the premium locations that they are in.
Come and create some great memories in the Outer Banks!

Why they chose this property
Our guest are in love with the house because we try and keep the house a traditional beach cottage feel. Sitting on the back porch watching the sunrise or the porpoises play in the surf. Oceanfront offers it all. South Nags Head is away from all the heavy traffic and the beach is less crowded.
What makes this property unique
SO MUCH TO DO! Sitting in the hot tub overlooking the ocean is incredible. Or grabbing your fish rod and walking down the beach to the pier. Or taking a break from the beach and relaxing in the hammock at the pool. This house has it all.
