Perfect Location!

We had a wonderful vacation. Nags Tale was exceptionally clean. We appreciated the eclectic cohesive decorative style. We could tell the owners are world travelers with unique mementos throughout. The home was comfortable and kitchen was well stocked with nice dishes and plenty of silverware. We really enjoyed the sunroom with ocean views. I drank my coffee and ate my breakfast in that room each morning. The neighborhood was quiet and walk to the beach was just as pictured. We were thankful for the sidewalks and no dunes to climb for beach access. Owners provided excellent customer service, we had a couple of questions during our stay. They were responsive and delightful.Thank you for a memorable vacation!

Two relaxing weeks.

This house is perfect for us. It is in a nice area, close to restaurants and a grocery store. yet there is very little traffic. The house has everything we needed. My wife and I and my son and daughter and their spouses. Our idea of a vacation is to not do too much, and this was a wonderful place to do that. The beach is very convenient. Very thankful for it. The Nelsons are wonderful hosts, and got back to us or had whatever problem there was solved very quickly

We had a family reunion in Nags Head and had a great stay. The house is spacious and clean enough for 5 adults and 2 children. We loved walking to the beach and the upper balcony and sun room was a treat. Highly recommend!

Spacious and convenient beach house

Nags Tale was a pleasant house for our family vacation this year. We loved the openness of the living room and kitchen area. Our family had plenty of places to sit and hangout together when we were indoors. The location of the house was convenient not only the short walk to the beach access, but also to shopping and restaurants too. The house was clean when we arrived. I did give cleanliness 4 stars due to the floors in the kitchen and living area being a bit too sandy. It was as though they had not been swept or vacuumed before we arrived. The hosts were kind and easy to communicate with when needed. Our family would definitely stay here again in the future. Thanks so much for renting your home to our family. We made many fun memories this year!

Disliked: Cleanliness

Never had an owner treat us so badly.

At booking the owner decided that, despite it being a 4 bedroom home, she would only allow us to use 2 bedrooms because she thought that was all we were entitled to since we would be paying the Off Season price. We arrived to a terrible musty odor on the first floor and sinks that were not clean. We did not bother to contact owner. We simply cleaned them, opened the windows, and moved on. Day 3 we tried to do laundry and the washer was broken. Contacted the owner. She acted surprised and was apologetic. Her caretaker arrived the next morning and said he had been there 3 weeks ago for the same problem and that the machine should be replaced. When we asked for compensation she was literally shouting at me over the phone and suggested that I go to the laundromat, stating that “it will only take you 15 minutes”. Laughable. In her tirade she decided to accuse us of breaking the washing machine. Then, as we were driving home she texted us to accuse our dog of peeing on the carpet. Absolutely false. There were stains on that carpet when we arrived. Likely they contributed to the stench. We have been VRBO customers for over 20 years and we have NEVER had a conflict. This owner does not seem to understand the concept of Off Season Pricing. She treated us terribly, insisting that she was giving us such a discount. How dare we ask for a washing machine that works! How dare we ask to be compensated! How dare we expect to use all of the bedrooms and bathrooms listed!

Good place in a great location

We were looking for a pet friendly house that is clean, simple, and close to the beach, and that's exactly what we got. We were also very happy with its location, just inside the Cape Hatteras National Seashore. You have the true Outer Banks feel, but it's only a short drive to the shopping district if you need supplies.

A place that has it all.

My family of 5 had a fabulous time at Nags Tale. This cottage really had everything one could ask for. Some of the things we enjoyed were: - close proximity to the beach - the pretty grounds with the bbq grill and hammock - the outdoor shower - the fantastic amount of living and sleeping space - kitchen with all the cookware and utensils - the views from the deck - the two sitting rooms to unwind and relax - the charming decor throughout the house - nearby restaurants and seafood markets (Whalebone is a must) There’s more I’m sure I’m forgetting but if you’re looking for a property near the beach with all the amenities for a family this is it. The host was responsive and will take care of any questions and concerns. Two thumbs up!

Nice neighborhood and short walk to beach

This is a nice, quiet neighborhood and the walk to the beach was quick. We had a fairly rainy week in the Outer Banks so while in the house we liked that the house had the living area on the top level, and particularly liked the ‘sunroom’ overlooking the ocean.

Loved the location of this property! It was quiet and relaxing in South Nags Head. The beach was only steps away and we loved that we didn’t need to drive for days. The only reason I’m giving this a 4 overall is that the downstairs was very outdated and could use some renovations.

Stay at South Nag's Head

Great location, away from the busyness of Nag's Head, but it's just a short drive if you need to get there. Great house as advertised, BR's are down & living area/kitchen/den/deck's up. We enjoyed sitting on the deck in the evenings at sunset & doing puzzles in the den. Lot's of windows & light. Short walk to the beach. The owners are friendly & responsive. 5 stars in my book😊
