Great OBX vacay

Enjoyed staying at a cute, clean, well stocked home in Nags Head. We were close enough to the beach with a short drive, and for a small daily fee, we accessed the community pool. Convenient to grocery stores, restaurants and shopping. Owners were helpful and responsive as well. Great place to visit!

This house was great, it was close to the beach and pool- approximately a 5 minute drive to the beach and the a quick drive to the pool. In addition, there were many great choices for shopping both food, restaurants and fun stuff. I would highly recommend this house for your next vacation.

Great place

We enjoyed this house very much. It is a short distance from everything but far enough away from the main road to be quite. It is big enough for a large family to stay comfortably in. The house was stocked with everything we needed. The outdoor shower was amazing!
