The home was very comfortable and a great location for our group. Owner was extremely responsive to questions and kind enough to extend our check-out time. Given the guests had to make beds with provided sheets, I would have expected cleaner mattress protectors, pillows, and comforters. All of the above needed an upgrade.

Perfect House For Us

Everything was as described in the listing, the house was clean and had everything we needed. We had a lot of windy days and rough surf with double red flags on the beach so the pool got a lot of use. The location in Nags Head meant we never had to drive far. If you're headed down, I can't recommend the Dolphin watch (the magnet is on the fridge) and the night-time bioluminescence kayak tour.

Girls Trip - August 2024

Where do I even start about our trip. From the moment we walked in the door, you were in Paradise. The house was perfect. The location, well you could not ask for a better location. The beach is right across the street and the sound view from the upper deck is amazing. The most beautiful sunsets. The pool was amazing, and our girls loved it especially coming home from the beach and washing off and then spending time in the pool. The host was amazing. The few very small questions that I had, the immediately responded. You are in walking distance of the shops. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Great location. Great host. Could be cleaner

This house is located in a great location, just across the street from Jeanette’s pier and right beside Whalebone Park, perfect for kids. Great host and easy to work with. Unfortunately the cleanliness of the house was disappointing. It was also interesting the only cups in the house were either coffee cups or wine glasses, neither of which are suitable for children.

Great Vacation get away

We just got home today. We had a great stay. Mike is great to work with, I couldn’t find our linens and he was so quick to respond to my message and help me locate them. The house was spaced out nicely to where you aren’t on top of each other. The yard space was perfect for my French bulldog. The kids really enjoyed the pool after coming back from the beach each day. The park within walking distance was a great bonus as well. Google maps had me alittle worried about the distance to the beach, but not a issue at all, from the house to my feet touching the sand was maybe 2 mins. Can’t wait to book with Mike again!

Great family rental near the beach

Really nice spot right across the street from the beach and Jennette's pier. The kids loved the bunk beds room, and although one of the beds was fairly squeaky, mostly everyone slept well. Being right next to the playground is really nice for families with little kids.

Overall Review

Property is not in great repair and needs some attention. Hot water did not work in master bathroom or kitchen. Faucet in kitchen was not working properly. There were no glasses in the property other than wine glasses. Property did not appear that clean. The property is okay but is not as good as it looks online.

Excellent location!

We have been traveling to this area of the Outer Banks for many years and this was, by far, our best experience. The house was perfect for our stay-my husband and I, our adult daughter and my Dad. There is a nice pool, a dog run right off the first floor bedroom which offered a safe place to let our dog out. The location was awesome, we could walk to the beach and to Jeanette’s Pier. The view from the decks were very nice. Most of all the property manager, Mike was great! He was very responsive and made our travel experience easy. Highly recommend this property and will be going back hopefully again soon!

You saved our summer!

From my family to yours, thank you so much for such an incredible accommodation. You literally saved our summer! We visited with another family (6 people in total) and the house was perfect for our families. The location was so incredibly convenient (quiet strip across from the beach) and the house afforded a lot of charm - I can tell how much warmth and love you put into the place. The back deck and pool area for were perfect for early evening cocktails and appetizers. Mike - thanks again for being so responsive - we will definitely come back!
