Two relaxing weeks.

This house is perfect for us. It is in a nice area, close to restaurants and a grocery store. yet there is very little traffic. The house has everything we needed. My wife and I and my son and daughter and their spouses. Our idea of a vacation is to not do too much, and this was a wonderful place to do that. The beach is very convenient. Very thankful for it. The Nelsons are wonderful hosts, and got back to us or had whatever problem there was solved very quickly

Perfectly close to the beach and secluded!

Our stay at Nags Tale was wonderful! The home is in excellent proximity for close beach access, and the area does not feel crowded compared to farther north in Nags Head. The home offered everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We’d enjoy staying here again!

Great stay in Nags Head!

We had a family reunion in Nags Head and had a great stay. The house is spacious and clean enough for 5 adults and 2 children. We loved walking to the beach and the upper balcony and sun room was a treat. Highly recommend!

Good place in a great location

We were looking for a pet friendly house that is clean, simple, and close to the beach, and that's exactly what we got. We were also very happy with its location, just inside the Cape Hatteras National Seashore. You have the true Outer Banks feel, but it's only a short drive to the shopping district if you need supplies.

Perfect location!

Loved the location of this property! It was quiet and relaxing in South Nags Head. The beach was only steps away and we loved that we didn’t need to drive for days. The only reason I’m giving this a 4 overall is that the downstairs was very outdated and could use some renovations.

Nice neighborhood and short walk to beach

This is a nice, quiet neighborhood and the walk to the beach was quick. We had a fairly rainy week in the Outer Banks so while in the house we liked that the house had the living area on the top level, and particularly liked the ‘sunroom’ overlooking the ocean.

We had a fantastic time at Laila’s beach house in Southern Nags Head. The property was perfect for us, and right across from the beach. We enjoyed the deck with and ocean view, and Laila was a very gracious host and returned communications promptly. We could not recommend this place more!

Relaxing Stay at Nags Tale

We loved staying at Nags Tale for our 2020 OBX trip. For 20 years, we have been vacationing in the Outer Banks and have never been so close to the beach! The best part about this house, by far, is the close proximity to the ocean! Only a 2 minute walk and beautiful view. Would stay here again in a heart beat!
