This cottage is exactly as pictured and more. It is in a great location, spotless, beautifully decorated, close to the beach and Dowdy Park (pickle ball court)! The host was a great communicator and very thoughtful. Our favorite part of the house was the deck as it was not only covered, but also sheltered by pine trees. It was like a treetop escape. Thank you Amanda for a wonderful week. We will definitely be returning!

Beautiful home and welcoming owners

This was our first visit to the OBX area so we used this opportunity to explore the entire area. Walking over to the coffee shop next door was a huge bonus. The neighborhood is just off of a busy street so there were tons of activities and places to visit. The owner Amanda was incredibly welcoming and communicative. We loved our visit!

Sweet Serenity

We just had a wonderful week in Nags Head, staying at Sweet Serenity. The house was exactly as advertised, clean, stylish and well-appointed. The location is very convenient, with the beach, restaurants and a grocery store within walking distance. There's a bit of road noise, but after a short while we didn't really notice it. We would definitely stay here again.

Summer Vacation

Amanda went above and beyond to make sure we had the perfect vacation! The house was even better than the pictures - it was clean,comfortable, and an easy walk on the beach. the little extra touches like fresh flowers, music playing when we arrived and wine in the fridge were amazing! The front porch was perfect for lazy mornings with coffee from next door and evening sunsets.

Perfect for a family

We had such a wonderful time here. The house was perfect—the kitchen was well stocked with dishes, cookware, and multiple types of coffee makers for the coffee lovers. There was a high chair for our infant, as well as a pack and play. So many games too, which would be great for families with kids! The best part was that all the beach items were provided: beach cart, umbrella, and chairs. It made getting to the beach so easy, and it’s only a short walk away! The gated balcony was perfect for the dogs and baby. We loved it here, and will definitely come back to this property!

Super cute cottage

It was cold and windy and not quite beach weather while we stayed at Nags Head. This cottage was cozy and aesthetically adorable and made us feel at home as we stayed cozy. Great porch for the dog to hang out in and lovely kitchen! LOVED the outdoor shower even though it was a bit chilly I stilled showered in it! Really REALLY close to a lovely coffee place and several 4*+ restaurants and the quickest 5 minute walk to the beach. Amanda was lovely and gave us wonderful recommendations of things to do. We had a lovely time and definitely recommend.

Bright Spot During a Rainy Week

The house was perfect. Everything you could possibly need was at your fingertips. Comfortable, clean, and new... the house was our bright spot during a rainy week. The kitchen if fully stocked with anything you need to prepare a full meal or just snacks and drinks. Close to everything. Easy walk to the beach, restaurants and grocery store. Owner very responsive and great to work with as we planned for our stay.

August Vacation

My girlfriend, our 10-month old puppy, and myself decided to go on a quick vacation at the end of the summer to spend some time to ourselves. It was a very good decision and we could not have picked a better place to stay. The house was super clean and organized and it perfectly fit our little family. Amanda was so helpful throughout the booking, checking in, and checking out process. It is very obvious that she cares about this house and it shows in a great way. We had everything we could ask for during our stay and felt very much at home. I would definitely recommend this house to anyone would wants to take a vacation down in the OBX. I will certainly be booking again through Amanda after such a wonderful experience.

A very nice property

It’s a very nice property in a good location. It’s close to the beach, stores, and interesting sites. The house was comfortable and had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable. I also liked the fact that Amanda kept in touch to make sure that everything was going well. We had a great time. I have only two criticisms. The kitchen window and sliding glass door in front of the house did not have curtains. This affected our privacy especially at night. Also, there is no kitchen table. Therefore, we used the center island in the kitchen area for eating and it was where I set up my computer.

About the host

Hosted by Adam and Amanda Mille

Host profile image
Adam and I (Amanda) live in Chesapeake, VA with our 2 sons, Spencer (14) + Parker (12) . We have always dreamed of owning a beach home and in 2016 our dreams came true! When we purchased our 3 bedroom cottage, Carolina Dreaming in 2016 we never imagined the pure joy that being host would bring to our family. In 2019 we purchased our 2 bedroom cottage, Sweet Serenity. In 2025, we purchased our first property in South Nags Head, Permanent Vacation. We say this all of the time but we have been truly blessed with absolutely amazing guest who have stayed at our cottage!

Adam's love of real estate and Amanda's passion for antiquing and interior decorating, make us perfect duo to manage a vacation rental home.

Why they chose this property

From the minute we stepped into this cottage, "Sweet Serenity" we fell in love - despite the dated bathrooms, wood paneled walls, popcorn ceilings and no overhead lighting (only lamps). We instantly saw the potential that this home had and with the right amount of love we saw the memories that could be made in this cottage!

What makes this property unique

This cottage is located directly behind the gardens of our favorite coffee shop, Morningview Coffee. We love getting a cup of coffee and sitting on the front deck!
