Designed to Please*DogFriendly*Elevator*Comm Pool
The Vacation Home Designed with Family Fun in Mind 'Designed To Please' offers all the best parts of the Outer Banks -- sound, sea, and fun! This elegant 6 bedroom, 6.5 bath Outer Banks rental with an elevator is located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac within the Village of Nags Head community. Spend the day at the nearby beach or sound with the kids and the pup -- yep, it's dog-friendly! Or you can opt to play tennis, golf, or enjoy the community pool and beach club overlooking the ocean. Enjoy a quiet retreat with all the amenities of Nags Head within walking distance including shopping, restaurants, and fun family activities. Private sound and beach parking are provided.
Two levels of decks overlook the Roanoke Sound for those breathtaking OBX sunsets. Afterward, you can retreat to the large ground floor game room equipped with a 7' pool table, foosball, TVs, stereo, and wet bar. The top floor consists of a large living area with vaulted ceilings, a gourmet kitchen with dining area, fireplace, and cozy Widow's Watch. There are 6 bedrooms with private suites including 4 luxurious masters. This massive beach retreat home also comes equipped with 2 refrigerators, 2 dishwashers, 2 outdoor showers, and a gas grill. The elevator allows guests, suitcases, and groceries to travel up and down the levels with ease.
The ground level holds the extra-large rec room, equipped with a kitchenette and ready for you and your loved ones to have hours of competitive fun! You'll also find a laundry room for convenient mid-stay washes. The bedroom on this floor holds a double bunk bed set so your little ones can dream and wake together. The bathroom has two accesses: one from the bedroom and another from the rec room, for convenience when playing your cares away!
The mid-level of Designed To Please holds most of the other bedrooms and baths. Each of the 2 queen bedrooms has a private bath, and one has private deck access to the covered porch, where you'll enjoy the breeze from the sound while being able to take a break from the sun. The master king also has a private bath and private deck access. The last bedroom on the mid-level is another perfect option for the kiddos! It comes with a pyramid bunk bed and a trundle on the bottom. The kids even have their own private bath!
Take the elevator or stairs up to the top level and marvel at the vaulted ceilings and spectacular common areas. The gourmet kitchen boasts beautiful light wooden cabinets and has everything you'll need for preparing savory seafood meals. With some luck, you may be able to reel in the main course from the Atlantic! The dining area has a dark wooden table and chairs with seating for 10 and the bar has additional seating for 3 more. The loft area up one more small flight of stairs holds a small table and 2 chairs by the window - you can gaze upon the Nags Head sky while still enjoying a meal inside! The living area consists of large pastel couches that compliment the hardwood floors and beachy decor. This is where your family will gather to enjoy shows on the large, mounted smart TV or tell tales by the gas fireplace. You'll find the sun deck through the sliding glass doors. Here, you can catch some rays while taking in the gorgeous Nags Head Golf Links community. If you can swing it, try and claim the master king on the top floor with a private bath, jetted tub, and private sun deck access! The half bath is convenient for family gatherings to avoid traffic through the master king.

Enjoyable time while we celebrated a family wedding. House was very comfortable and we would definitely stay again if back in the area. Proximity to everything we wanted to do and see was great.

Evaluation
Parking was an issue as there wasn't much space to park. Overall, the cottage was nice. The last night there the elevator ceased to work and we there was a strong propane gas smell from the second floor. We did replace the can opener also.

This was a perfect property for our family. The elevator really was a lifesaver for the older group and the pool table was a benefit for all ages! Better views than I thought we would have, and it was a perfect location for us.

Quality of rental was below our expectations
Wood railing support beams falling off porch
No cable TV..only streaming (would have liked to have been aware as we probably have looked for another unit
Internet would intermittently go off line for 15 to 30 minutes several times a day (Sun and Monday)
Bed in master bedroom is old..squeaky and hard as a rock
Other bed rooms had mattress covers that looked worse than you find in a cheap hotel
Lights out in bathroom of master bedroom
For the price we paid for an off season rental we were disappointed
