My kids loved the turtle pond! There was a step stool, high chair, booster seat, and pack n play. It was clean and close to everything. There were sand toys to use at the beach and pancake mix in the pantry so we were able to eat before we even went to the grocery store. We really enjoyed our time at the house.

My younger brother and I had an outstanding stay at this VRBO in Nags Head earlier this month and I couldn’t have asked for a better Outer Banks experience. The home was exactly as advertised—clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully equipped with everything our group needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay.The location was ideal—easy beach access, and close to great local restaurants, grocery, and shops. Mornings with coffee on the back deck and evenings enjoying the coastal breeze were definite highlights.Inside, the layout worked perfectly for us, offering plenty of space to spread out while still feeling connected. Everything—from the furnishings to the linens—felt fresh and high quality.Overall, this was a fantastic stay in Nags Head. We would absolutely return and highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing, getaway in the Outer Banks.

This place was perfect from before we got there, through our stay and beyond. Everything was as promised. For us, the real treat and surprise was the simple things: beach chair, bbq grill, turtles in the overlooking pond, under home car port, dvd player, and great shower pressure. Really, the place was amazing and a steal of a price. Will be staying again! Thank you Jeanne.

About the host

Hosted by Jeanne Howard

Host profile image
We first came to the Outer Banks on the recommendation of a co-worker in 1989. We fell in love with the area! We visited at every opportunity and finally bought Carolina Cottage in 2004.

Why they chose this property

We love the Village at Nags Head because of the pool that is right on the ocean. We also love the quiet walkable neighborhood. We love the pond in the backyard and the wildlife it attracts. Very private but yet close to shops and restaurants.

What makes this property unique

We believe everyone should have a stress free affordable stay at the beach. A place where you can rest, relax and unwind. We don’t over charge and we try to keep our fees to a minimum. Any profits we make are put back into the cottage to keep it clean, updated and comfortable for our guests.
