About the host
Hosted by Crystal Miscio
Hi! I’m Crystal Miscio, and I’m excited to welcome you to my South Nags Head home. I’m originally from Northern Virginia and have always loved spending time at the beach with family and friends. I enjoy exploring the Outer Banks, trying local seafood, and making the most of sunny days on the sand.
I love hosting because I want families to have a fun, stress-free, and memorable vacation. My goal is to provide a comfortable, safe, and welcoming space where kids can play, parents can relax, and everyone can enjoy the best of the Outer Banks. I hope my home feels like your family’s home-away-from-home, where you can create lasting memories together.

Why they chose this property
I chose South Nags Head because it offers the perfect combination of peaceful beaches and easy access to all the Outer Banks has to offer. The neighborhood is quiet and family-friendly, with wide sandy beaches just steps from the house and plenty of space for kids to run, play, and explore.
I love walking along the shoreline at sunrise, watching the waves, and spotting local wildlife. Evenings are perfect for strolling through the neighborhood or enjoying a relaxing dinner on the deck with the ocean breeze. It’s close enough to attractions like Jennette’s Pier, Bodie Island Lighthouse, and local restaurants, but far enough from the crowds to feel calm and private.
What I enjoy most about this neighborhood is the balance between tranquility and convenience — it feels like a true coastal escape while still being easy to explore the best of the OBX with family and friend

What makes this property unique
What makes my home unique is its perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and coastal charm. It’s just steps from the beach, so you can spend the day in the sand without worrying about long walks or traffic. The private hot tub is a favorite for relaxing after a day on the beach, and the open, airy layout makes it easy for families to spend time together while still having space to unwind.
We’ve designed the home with families in mind, from tub/shower combos in both bathrooms to comfortable sleeping for six, so everyone has a comfortable and enjoyable stay. With quiet outdoor spaces, easy beach access, and proximity to OBX attractions like Jennette’s Pier and Bodie Island Lighthouse, this property combines the best of a peaceful retreat with all the fun and adventure of the Outer Banks.
It’s not just a rental, it’s a place where families can make lasting memories, enjoy the beach lifestyle, and feel right at home from the moment they arrive.
