It was amazing for the family! We already booked for next year! Everything very clean. Everything was the way it said it was in the listing. Pool was amazing and warm. The location was great as well. Can’t wait to return next year!
A wonderful house with all of the amenities. Well-maintained with lots of personal touches. Plenty of space in private and common areas. Directions, check in/out couldn’t be more clear. It was wonderful to bring our dogs. The stairs can be a lot for older people but that is the general design in the whole area. The property is a quick walk or golf cart ride to the beach, shopping and dining. I cannot say enough about the owners who make sure your stay is perfect and are excellent communicators
Wonderful, family and dog-friendly home in a great location. Short walk to the beach. Ann was very responsive and welcoming. Would love to stay here again.

Thank you so much! We would welcome you back, We love hosting, and your dog is always invited! 😀
I can't say enough wonderful things about this home. It is BEAUTIFUL! It's PERFECTLY CLEAN! It's more than WELL STOCKED with anything you need or want, anything! The location is one block from your back door to the beach. It's on a quiet cal-de-sac. All shopping whether for adventures, restaurants, grocery stores or anything you could think of is literally minutes from your door. The hosts of this beautiful home are extremely accessible. Whatever your wants or needs might be they are right there for you. My husband and I vacation every year to get away from the Maine winters and this home by far is #1. Also you couldn't find another pet friendly location anywhere. To sum up: AN ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS BEAUTIFUL WARM HOME & HOSTS!
This home is great for a large family get together. Walking distance to the beach, food, the pier, and other attractions. The pool and hot tub were nice to have.
Our stay at Ocean Dream On, was truly amazing. Annie was a gracious and responsive host. The house was perfectly clean and felt homey. We loved the pool, hot tub, game room, kitchen and all yhe space. We also enjoyed some recommended activities!
We loved everything about this property! The artistic flair, the size, the pool, the pool towels, the covered hot tub, the grill, the kitchen, the array of seating areas, the bedrooms, the beds, the bathrooms, the bath towels, the game room, the beach amenities, the neighborhood, the owner's communication and responses, and the fact that we could have our dogs made this an unforgettable OBX beach vacation! They've thought of EVERYTHING and their hospitality was an incredible gift!
We recently rented this property with people aged 20 -75 and every single person agreed that this was their favorite house we've ever stayed at and we have been coming to OBX since the 80s. Conveniently located to everything and the pool was amazing when the tropical storm warning came in.

This beach house has everything we needed and more! It was cleaned and fully stocked. It’s in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood and the walk to the beach is short and easy through a pleasant little path. The owners of the house are so friendly, attentive, helpful and accommodating. We all had a wonderful time and will be back!!!

Thank you so much! I’m glad your kids enjoyed the fun. That’s what it’s all about!
The house was great with a very open living and dining area. The bedrooms were nice sizes with comfortable beds and bathrooms for each bedroom. The pool was a good size for our group of 6 and we really enjoyed it being heated as it was cool in early June. The house is two blocks from the beach, and the house has beach chairs and a beach cart to haul your gear to the beach. We really enjoyed the location to so many attractions in the Nags Head area.

Thank You so Much! Nags Head appreciated you and your family. You took great care of our place! We would love to have you back. Happy Summer :-)
This is the place to stay when staying in OBX! The layout of the house supported three families while offering plenty of privacy. The location is perfect and only a scenic 5-7 minute walk to the beach. We couldn’t have asked for better communication from the owners. Annie provided suggestions for restaurants and activities and always responded immediately to our questions before and during our stay. We can't wait to return!
