The room was ideal for what we were looking for. Yard was exceptionally beautiful! Just some ideas that you might consider-a small corner teak bench for shower so can shave legs without standing on your head (LOL), 2 luggage racks and a lamp for sofa area. However, these things would not prevent me from staying here again. Was a wonderful little hideaway

Really wonderful time during our 2 night stay at the Russell’s Nags Head Retreat. Perfect spot to land for a short visit. They had exactly what we needed to spend time at the beach- chairs, umbrella, bikes. Comfortable bed, hangout nook, and excellent recommendations of things to do and places to go. We will be back! Good vibes indeed!

Clean, cozy, convenient Nags head stay

The place was very clean smelled wonderful. They had great beach bikes to ride. The beach is literally three blocks away. They have beach chairs for you to utilize every morning. I got up and would ride the bike there and then sit on the beach. It was wonderful. Restaurants are very close. You could even ride your bicycle there great place to stay great location.

Perfect little getaway!

We had a fantastic stay at the Nags Head Retreat! The central location was convenient for a quick trip to Duck Donuts or the beach! My 10-year old loved the backyard oasis and the outdoor shower was much appreciated for sand removal. Immie was a fantastic host - with a binder of suggestions for local must-dos, great communication, and a big thanks for fulfilling my special request for sand toys! 10/10! Thank you!!!
