Great House & Location

House was clean and location was great. We went in early October and weather was perfect. The house is close enough to restaurants and shopping but far enough away from those things to feel quiet and relaxing. Would stay again if we come back to OBX!

Home Away From Home

Our stay at this lovely beach house was definitely a home away from home. The house has all the amenities of a home with a well stocked kitchen, games to play and decking that we were able to watch the sunrise on the beach and set on the sound. Our family loves the location as it is nestled between the National Sea Shore Park and the Sound-very relaxing! But still close enough to shopping, Jennettes Pier and restaurants. Two of our favorites are The Blue Moon and Tortugas. Hot tub was available but the weather was to chilly for this warm weather girl. Nelene-the owner was super sweet and we felt right at home. Will definitely plan another visit to "Seas the Day"

Family getaway

The owner was great to work with. We didn't know if we would be able to keep our reservation due to my sister being terminally ill. He was a God send to work with. He wanted our stay to be comfortable and it was. I had to rate down on a couple of things such as cleanliness and Accuracy of online advertising. The rental was very clean on the surface. My granddaughter lost her watch and when we were moving things looking for it we found a lot of things that were not cleaned under and objects left by previous tenants. The coffee grounds were were still left in the coffee pot from previous Tennant. When I booked the rental it reads as Oceanfront and one of the pictures by the hot tub looks like it goes out over the sand dune to the beach. My bad. We had to walk down the block to the beach but was okay. We made it work. Overall we had a great time. The house is very comfortable. The house is in great location to all the activities in the area. I would probably do it again.

The house was clean and spacious and the owners were very responsive. They provided so much information ahead of time which was helpful. We hope to come back in the future!

House was not the cleanest. Floors were sticky. Dish washer had a piece that seemed to be melted so we would not use. Had a toilet spring a leak from the handle so we’re without that for two of the days (but owner was very quick t respond)Should have checked beach areas as there was not much actual beach in this area due to storms and eroding

We so enjoyed our stay here! Property was clean, comfortable and great location! So many extra were left such as toilet paper, garbage bags, soaps, laundry detergent, etc. Close to restaurants and grocery stores, but far enough away that the beaches were not crowded. We even were able to access the property earlier than expected. Nelene was great to deal with. Would definately rent again!

Great location for families

We stayed at the house during the 2023 winter holidays (December 23-30) and had a blast. The house was spacious, clean, well-organized, and generally well stocked. Guests included my spouse and me, our kids (ages 12), and two sets of in-laws. Things we loved about the property: - Spacious living room with plenty of seating and great ocean views. - Separate sunroom for reading or getting some space from family. - Highly functional kitchen with recently upgraded counters and appliances. - Ideal location (5 minute walk to the beach, less than one block from Cape Hatteras National Seashore, 10 minutes to grocery store and other shops). - Precise climate control. No problems with heat or air. - Plenty of towels and sheets provided as promised. - Well stocked with dish soap, hand soap, dishwasher detergent, paper towels, and started toilet paper. A few minor areas for improvement; - Property manager had our check-in date incorrect. House was ready, but we had to call to obtain the access code. - A few kitchen items were broken or non-functional (e.g., coffee carafe had crack in the bottom, kitchen scissors were very dull). - Check-out instructions posted on the fridge were slightly outdated and didn't match digital instructions. Overall, we had a terrific stay and would definitely reserve this property again if visiting the Outer Banks!

Beautiful views, spacious and everything you need

The layout of this property is perfect for family or friends vacation. Spacious open common areas as well as a beautiful sunroom for reading, working or just enjoying the peace. Beautiful views from the wrap around deck. A great place for morning coffee, evening cocktails and watching the sunrise. Kitchen is fully equipped and we love to cook. They had everything we needed and then some. Beds are comfortable and everyone slept well. Rules of the house were outlined clearly and property management checked in with me at the beginning and end of our trip. Very friendly yet professional. Our family truly loved this property. So close to the beach access and beautiful pool on site. We highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by John Gibbs

Host profile image
We have been vacationing on the Outer Banks since we were teenagers. Lifelong residents of Virginia Beach, VA, It has always been our lifelong dream to own our own home on the Outer Banks. That dream became a reality in December of 2014. We decided to share our home with our guests for a few weeks during the summer. Our home has been updated, renovated, and cleaned to have it pristine and sparkling and ready for our guests. Our guests enjoy our home as much as we do as you can see from our reviews from previous vacationers.
Owners wife , Nelene, is Licensed Real Estate Broker in Virginia and North Carolina.

Why they chose this property

Our home is located directly across the street from the beach in a quiet private neighborhood of South Nags Head. We say we are at the end of the rainbow. There are only a few houses between our home and the Cape Hatteras National Seashore Park. Our back deck overlooks the Cape Hatteras National Seashore which provides amazing sunset views. It is a great place to take the family for a walk, bike ride, or just sit on the decks and enjoy the magnificent sunrise views from the front in the morning and magnificent sunset views from the back in the evening . These views and the location, along with the updates we have made to our home, make this home our 'dream come true'. During the many years of vacationing on the Outer Banks, and never wanting to leave, we can now say we own our dream home! We know you will enjoy it as much as we do!

What makes this property unique

You will enjoy the beautiful pristine beaches of South Nags while only minutes away from all of the restaurants, fishing and entertainment that Nags Head and the Outer Banks has to offer. We have spectacular views from every area in our home. We have updated our home with new furnishing, new paint, a new salt water pool, hot tub and fully stocked kitchen. We have a 6 mile jogging/bike/walking trail that extends for 6 miles. This is a concrete path great for an evening bike ride after dinner a walk or rollerblading. We are only a mile and 1/2 from the Bodie Island light house. We have a large outside shower with dressing area on the ground level. After staying in many different vacation homes over the years on the Outer Banks, we know what is needed to make a memorable vacation stay and that is exactly what you will get with our home. You can be assured there will be no surprises when you arrive and that everything will be spotlessly clean and prepared for your arrival.
