Location was perfect! House was way bigger then what i thought. Rooms were huge. Love the oversized deck and the dog gate on deck was perfect for the dogs. We loved this house. Thank you for letting us stay for a week.

See you again and again at The Beach House

We always have a great time staying at the Beach House. The house itself is in a perfect spot on the beach in S Nags Head. You don't have to leave the deck to enjoy the roar of the ocean and dolphin watching, but if you do, you're right next to the patch to the beach. We love the location since it's not over crowded and plenty of room for fishing. We already can't wait for next year!

Beautiful beach front property

My family and I really enjoyed our stay. The house is a little older and has obviously hosted many wonderful vacations but the location is perfect and we all felt very comfortable throughout our stay. Our host Amy was very responsive and we would not hesitate to book again!

Perfect in every way!

This beach house was the perfect location and allowed our family to spend a lot of quality time together. The house was very clean and the kitchen was equipped with everything we needed to make every meal. We were just steps from the beach! The furniture was very comfortable. I have no complaints and would definitely rent this place again.

House by the Sea

Wonderful place, with the ocean right outside the spacious and comfortable deck. The house was clean and had all we needed. It was cozy and comfortable. Check in was simple and the place was just as described. Will definitely rent again. Karen

Doesn’t disappoint

Second year staying here, weather wasn’t on our side but our stay was super relaxing. Watching the ocean directly from the living room and patio is fantastic. Property could use minor improvements (windows and sliders on first floor in need of replacement and ocean-facing exterior showing it’s age), this is still a top notch place to stay.

Great stay....if you like dogs barking at 5:30AM!

Everything about the house and location was great...except the close proximity to the other houses. EVERYONE had dogs! I love dogs, but I DON'T like them barking at 5:30AM! It's not the dogs that I object to, it's the stupid owners who thinks it's ok to put the dogs on the decks at 5:30 AM! AND, the people walking from their homes to the ocean walked in between the houses, and the dogs barked ALL DAY. I know I can't escape dogs, but I don't think I would choose that location again because of the annoying dogs.

Excellent location! Right on the beach. 6 adults and one teenager fit comfortably. When we got there,he internet modem was dead and needed to be replaced. The host was very responsive and had it fixed the next day and helped us with temporary set up. Rooms were spacious and the view was amazing from the deck and inside the house. The ac struggled a bit on the hottest day, but tge host was made aware. The parking is a little challenging since you are up against the dune. 3 cars were doable, but i think a 4th mightve been a squeeze. We loved the house and it was everything we needed for a great beach vacation! We would absolutely book again!

This house house sits literally steps from the beach. We could sit on our deck and watch the dolphins swim past, or watch the ghost crabs digging holes. The water was a bit cold but it was very clear. There were a lot of jellyfish in the shallower water, but they were mostly sea nettles and didn't bother us. The beaches were clean and not very crowded at all. It was a very peaceful location.As far as things to do - it's a short drive north to the main downtown area of Nags Head where all the attractions begin, and just a little farther to Kill Devil Hills where there is a memorial park commemorating where first powered flight took place. Take an hour drive to the south and you'll reach Cape Hatteras and along the way pass many undeveloped beaches just waiting for you to explore.The owner was very responsive over text message over any concerns we may have had. There were a few maintenance issues that were brought to the owner's attention but it wasn't anything that really detracted from our stay.There are stairs to get into the house, and two bedrooms are on the second floor, so it's not what I would consider an accessible house for disabilities. There was plenty of parking for our family, though it would be best to have 4wd because some of the parking is on the sand. There is one wooden plank parking spot made from pallets, and one spot next to it is fairly solid, but anything else and you're parking on the sand.My family enjoyed our stay, and had a very nice time.

Best Bang for your Buck!

My family has stayed at this beach house twice and plan to come back. Wonderful location right on the beach! Plenty of space for everyone. Love the back deck to drink coffee or have evening cocktails and watch the waves with no obstructions. Allowed and accommodated our parking situation (4 cars fit, three in sandier location one on wooden platform) and our dogs! Only place that can accommodate over 2 dogs on the beach and has enough room for 11 people. Will stay again for sure!

Our family of 7 had a great time, just steps away from the beach! Enjoyed swimming, walking and relaxing by the ocean every day and winding down in the evening to the sounds of the waves. The house is comfortable and has everything you need.

Please be cautious

The host was responsive although I question the integrity as the following was misrepresented: 1) The pics on the posting ARE NOT what the inside of the house represents. Rather the place is not well maintained and the furniture is not what is in the pic rather much older, dirtier and smells like pet urine. The floor is not LVP or hardwood rather wall to wall carpet that is saturated with pet urine and worn. 2) “Palmetto bugs” aka cockroaches EVERYWHERE! Hence why we checked out ONE DAY AFTER OUR ARRIVAL FOR A SEVEN DAY STAY! 3) The place was not cleaned at all; the area rugs were saturated with old pet urine 4) Run down and needs a lot of work, the deck gate is pulled out of the siding due to rust and just hangs there 5) Windowsill from upstairs bathroom fell during the night which was an awful sound and it was due to rotting wood 6) Dips in the flooring especially when you walk in the front door, yes you will roll your ankle if you walk in confidently. I think it’s easy to give perfect score because the only thing going for this place is the vicinity to the water. If you don’t care about staying in a home that is dirty, not maintained whatsoever and has roaches then don’t consider my review.
