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!

Spacious and convenient beach house

Nags Tale was a pleasant house for our family vacation this year. We loved the openness of the living room and kitchen area. Our family had plenty of places to sit and hangout together when we were indoors. The location of the house was convenient not only the short walk to the beach access, but also to shopping and restaurants too. The house was clean when we arrived. I did give cleanliness 4 stars due to the floors in the kitchen and living area being a bit too sandy. It was as though they had not been swept or vacuumed before we arrived. The hosts were kind and easy to communicate with when needed. Our family would definitely stay here again in the future. Thanks so much for renting your home to our family. We made many fun memories this year!

Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy

Never had an owner treat us so badly.

At booking the owner decided that, despite it being a 4 bedroom home, she would only allow us to use 2 bedrooms because she thought that was all we were entitled to since we would be paying the Off Season price. We arrived to a terrible musty odor on the first floor and sinks that were not clean. We did not bother to contact owner. We simply cleaned them, opened the windows, and moved on. Day 3 we tried to do laundry and the washer was broken. Contacted the owner. She acted surprised and was apologetic. Her caretaker arrived the next morning and said he had been there 3 weeks ago for the same problem and that the machine should be replaced. When we asked for compensation she was literally shouting at me over the phone and suggested that I go to the laundromat, stating that “it will only take you 15 minutes”. Laughable. In her tirade she decided to accuse us of breaking the washing machine. Then, as we were driving home she texted us to accuse our dog of peeing on the carpet. Absolutely false. There were stains on that carpet when we arrived. Likely they contributed to the stench. We have been VRBO customers for over 20 years and we have NEVER had a conflict. This owner does not seem to understand the concept of Off Season Pricing. She treated us terribly, insisting that she was giving us such a discount. How dare we ask for a washing machine that works! How dare we ask to be compensated! How dare we expect to use all of the bedrooms and bathrooms listed!

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.

A place that has it all.

My family of 5 had a fabulous time at Nags Tale. This cottage really had everything one could ask for. Some of the things we enjoyed were: - close proximity to the beach - the pretty grounds with the bbq grill and hammock - the outdoor shower - the fantastic amount of living and sleeping space - kitchen with all the cookware and utensils - the views from the deck - the two sitting rooms to unwind and relax - the charming decor throughout the house - nearby restaurants and seafood markets (Whalebone is a must) There’s more I’m sure I’m forgetting but if you’re looking for a property near the beach with all the amenities for a family this is it. The host was responsive and will take care of any questions and concerns. Two thumbs up!

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.

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.

It was just a fantastic time. We talked to Ivan about the shower dripping. Also I do think the kitchen needs a new toaster or toaster oven. It is a nice house in a quiet area. I hope we can do it again.. Thank you Tappey Jones

Stay at South Nag's Head

Great location, away from the busyness of Nag's Head, but it's just a short drive if you need to get there. Great house as advertised, BR's are down & living area/kitchen/den/deck's up. We enjoyed sitting on the deck in the evenings at sunset & doing puzzles in the den. Lot's of windows & light. Short walk to the beach. The owners are friendly & responsive. 5 stars in my book😊

Meeting expectations Yeah

This rental was exactly what the description listed. The top deck was great for any time of day! My personal favorite part of rental. Two minor things we would suggest if renting are bring toilet paper (1 roll provided for family of 4 with 3 bathrooms) and a mowed lawn would be nice so not having to walk through tall grass to go to beach (since there is a warning of small cactus and ticks).
