270 - Well-kept Dog-Friendly Nags Head Ocean-Front with Ocean-Facing Deck!
Featured on "Buying the Beach," Season 1: Episode 4, this South Nags Head, Ocean-Front Rental Home had a complete video walk-through and was eventually chosen and purchased by the prospective buyers on that episode! This home has since found new ownership in 2022 with a couple who have thoroughly cared for and upgraded the home, and they welcome you to their beautifully updated beach-house!
270, Ocean Romance, is an absolutely perfect Nags Head, Ocean-Front getaway for a small family or honeymoon retreat! With an ocean-facing deck, well-kept interior with updated flooring, granite kitchen countertops, washer/dryer, outside shower w/bathroom, and so much more, you will have everything you need while relaxing to the sounds of the ocean in your back yard!
This OBX Ocean-Front features an ocean-facing great room with beach views all the way to the kitchen! The queen ocean-facing bedroom allows for waking up to the sunset, while kids rooms provides a variety of extra bedding for the family! And the beach-side deck allows for relaxing family gatherings and meals on the large picnic table, all while gazing out over the ocean. And while you're spending a day out on the beach, you'll have convenient access to an outside shower with bathroom for those quick ocean retreats!
Being located in South Nags Head, you'll find relatively less-crowded and wide beaches, and the area is minutes from the Bodie Island Lighthouse, Outer Banks fishing pier (featuring the Fish Heads restaurant), 4 x 4 beaches, and Old Oregon Inlet Marina, while only a short drive to the heart of Nags Head, featuring an abundance of grocery stores, restaurants, Outlet Mall, golf (including miniature golf), sound-side water sports, and so much more!

Nice getaway
A quintessential beach cottage compete with spongy floors in spots! Pictures are accurate but it is a little rough around the edges. Appliances are all newer and in good working condition. Kitchen is well equipped with everything you need plus a mini wine fridge! Bed was reasonably comfortable. That said ,we came for the beach and the location was perfect! We enjoyed the sunrises and our daily walks on the beach. Our dog had a wonderful time playing fetch and running in the sand. Overall a great experience!

Location
Location was perfect.
Outside: trashed property, grill rusted and broken.
Hand rail up to front door loose ( my mom 88 )
Outdoor furniture not clean. House across had 4-7 cars.
Inside: floors throughout warped, couch and beds old and uncomfortable.. Screen broken, dog hairs around. SSndy floors, oven smelly and musty. Bedrooms warped walls , buckled paneling. someone put a dishwasher pod in wAshing machine, molded shower liner, just very deceiving and unpleasant.
Cove Reslty we felt with last time with a write up. If you write negative comments and hit submit it doesn’t go through. Would not work wot them .

Perfect Beach Shack
Our stay was wonderful! The Ocean Romance is the perfect beach shack in the dunes. You must be at one with the sand. We will be back!

Beautiful spot
My review is mixed. We really enjoyed our stay. The house was in the perfect location and was clean. However, the floors in more than one room were very soft and felt unsafe. When we arrived there was a rat trap sitting on the table by the bed and mouse traps throughout the house although we saw no sign of any rodents. It made us uneasy, but as far as the actual time spent there, we loved the house and location. The floors need serious attention. If that was addressed, I would love to stay there every year.
