The property was as advertised and was correctly rated by previous guests. The owner was very communicative before our stay. The unit was very clean. The kitchen well appointed. The kitchen and bathrooms were renovated but the rest of the unit keeps its old school charm. Noticed lightbulbs were out and water dispensed from fridge wasn’t not working. I only made note of this to the owner and it was fixed immediately. The price point for our October 11-18, 2025 stay was excellent. The unit is dog friendly. Just a block from beach access. The house is solid. We were there during a Nor’easter. Would stay there again! Would recommend to others.

Great location for beach access at Nags Head (less than one block from the nearest public beach access) and for quick trips around the town and Kill Devil Hills. The outdoor shower was really nice also. It was one of those times when the host and my family’s preferences lined up well from a host recommendation standpoint and we enjoyed almost all of the recommendations from Morning Cafe, to BootyTreats, to Jockey’s Ridge at sunset, to Corolla wild horses, the list goes on and on. The house was a great size for our family of 5 and dog friendly. There is also a dog park at the hotel next to the rental which was helpful. Harris Teeter and a number of food options are within easy walking distance also. Would definitely stay there again! Thanks!

Good Location

The property is very well-kept, but it was a shock to find out it was an upstairs unit. I did not see anything in the posting that mentioned it was an upstairs unit. Also, the driveway for the unit is very hard to find, and the GPS of the unit takes you next door with no way to connect to the property.

Very Pleasant and Well Lovated

We loved our week here- this upper floor unit is right across from the beach with a nice little yard and two outside porches. The beach access is right at the border of Kill Devils Hill and Nags head and the nags head side allows leased dogs all day all year—watch out for the hot sand and sand spurs though! We had our dog and worried he would struggle with the stairs to the flat- about 20 steps from ground level. But they were well maintained with railings and closed risers so he trotted right up and down.the place was very clean, nice and comfortable furniture and well equipped kitchen. We enjoyed the oversized tub too. Joe and lisa were great hosts- very responsive. We would come back!

Wonderful stay in OBX!!

This was the best experience we’ve had with a rental so far!! It changed our minds about staying at a rental property in the future. This house was perfect for our family of four!! We had such a wonderful week there in OBX. Clean, roomy and such a beautiful house!! We enjoyed the porch in the front and it was such a short walk to the beach. It was in a good location so we had a short drive to all the things we wanted to go do. Joe was wonderful and so very helpful. We would definitely stay at the property again. Five stars all the way!!
