The house was comfortable and perfect for our family of 4. Great first experience for us at OBX! The house is so cute and well appointed and comfortable. 4 doors from the beach on a really quiet street. We loved the fact that it was not immediately in town but still easy, short drive from fish market and grocery store. It was a perfect vacation and we will try to return!

Excellent cottage close to the beach. Love having washer and dryer it came in handy. Very nice kitchen to cook a nice meal in. My family with me love the sunset view from upper deck. Very nice collection of books to read. The cottage was very clean .We love how close it was to beach . It was too cold the swim but my husband and father in law love they could fish at beach. It was close to some very nice shopping outlet and many restaurants. Hot tub was very good.

This property was very clean and spacious for the two of us. It was very close to the ocean (we could see the ocean from the upper deck and could hear the waves most of the time). Even though we did not use some of the amenities (hot tub, did not use the kitchen much) they were there and available. Parking was amble (truck, trailer, and motorcycle). The host (Tyler) was very responsive to any questions we had. Would recommend this property

About the host

Host profile image
Hello! We are the Johnsons from Raleigh, NC. We've been married since 2010 and have 2 beautiful children. We love spending time together as a family in South Nags Head at Sugaree. Thank you for allowing us to share our piece of paradise with you!

Why they chose this property

This is the cutest cottage steps from the beach. Situated in South Nags Head, it brings you the best of both worlds. A peaceful neighborhood setting away from the hustle and bustle, but only minutes away from restaurants and shops. With 4 bedrooms, the house is great to share with another family or your extended family. The loft provides a play area for the children and underneath the house provides endless opportunities for outdoor games and fun if the weather isn’t perfect. Relax in the sunroom in the summer with the windows open to feel the warm breeze or keep them closed in cooler weather while you enjoy the sun’s gorgeous rays. The upper deck will bring you breathtaking views of the ocean while you dine al fresco. The year-round hot tub makes Sugaree even sweeter! Come see for yourself. We promise you'll love it as much as we do!

What makes this property unique

Year-round hot tub!!!!
Steps from the beach!
Quiet Neighborhood!
Never crowded beach!
Close to everything, but far enough away for a peaceful vacation!
Kid friendly :)
