About the host

Hosted by Marcy Hardin

Host profile image
Hi! We're Megan and Marcy, sisters-in-law who share a love for the beach and hosting. As busy moms who recharge by the ocean, we've put a lot of care into creating a space that feels comfortable, welcoming, and easy for families to enjoy. Our beach box is more than just a vacation rental to us--it’s a retreat where we are making core family memories of our own, and we love being able to share it with other families looking to do the same.

Why they chose this property

We knew we wanted a place that felt peaceful but still close to everything. When we found this spot in Nags Head, it checked every box. Located in a quiet waterfront community with sidewalks, a community pool, easy beach access, and breathtaking sunsets over the sound - we quickly discovered the perfect balance of relaxation and fun!
