We had a great time. The beach is literally right in front of the house. The host was quick to respond to any questions. Definitely would book this house again.
We booked this house last minute but it was handled and we had booked far in advance. The house has amazing view of the ocean. Stocked well for a week or more stay. The sand dune that blocked the path to the ocean was the only roadblock we encountered. Great stay and would book again.
We had a great stay. The house is beautiful well located and exactly as described. The host was fantastic very responsive and professional. When we experienced a small issue with the hot water tank, she responded within minutes and had maintenance on site almost immediately. The problem was fixed quickly and without any disruption to our stay. I would definitely book this property again.

The rooms were clean, the house had a big spacious living room with a great view, quiet neighborhood, easy access to the beach and didn’t feel crowded as neighboring houses were not built immediately next to this property.

Location was great, but the place definitely needs some improvements.
The place was AMAZING! My family and I enjoyed every second of our stay here and will definitely be re-renting this place next year and beyond! Thank you so much!
Beautiful views out of practically every room and plenty spacious. We enjoyed the large kitchen that opened to the living area - made it so easy to cook and enjoy our time. The balconies overlooking the ocean were perfect and the outdoor furniture was great. The only thing I’d say is one of the skylights was gone so it was covered with a tarp (and we had a hard rain) and one of the bathrooms the ceiling was cut out so you could see into the ceiling with the piping. We opted to not use that room. We would stay here again.

Yes the last storm actually took the sky light right off. We are replacing all of them. Yes maintenance is repairing the ceiling from a water leak. We lived having you please visit us again.
The house was beautiful and right on the beach. There was plenty of room for everyone. Plenty of parking available. Wonderful views from every window in the main living area. Lots of balcony space and chairs. We all had enough space and the beach itself was never crowded. We would definitely stay here again.

The location and cleanliness were perfect. Communication from the property manager was quick and efficient. We loved staying here and would do so again. The elevator was a game changer for us, my mother is handicapped and it was incredibly helpful to have and use!

Fantastic property for 6 couples on Adult Retreat in Nag's Head
Beautiful, well-maintained 6 bdrm/ 6 ba house right on the beach. Large, wide decks on 2nd & 3rd levels overlooking the ocean. Dawn (owner) was a pleasure to work with (Thanks Dawn!). The hot tub was OOC during our stay, but it didn't affect our plans.

Glad you had a good time. So sorry about the hot tub. We got it corrected and all is well. Hope to see you back in the future. Thanks
This is a very special property! It has beautiful views of the ocean and the rest of Nagshead. The house is very clean, spacious, and it allows dogs. My family went there in February to celebrate my birthday and it was a truly wonderful experience! Thank you so much for sharing this special home with us!

Fantastic Stay would Recommend
This was one our top vacations ever. This house is right on the beach, no dune to cross, no road, RIGHT ON THE BEACH. We say ocean life everyday including a whale at one point! Great location only minutes from fast food, better restaurants, Food Lion, mini golf, and more more more. Without hesitations I would recommend this house. We went each of the last two years and stayed here and if ever in OBX again we will try to stay there again.
