Great property, very close to the beach. Lots of amenities, a fully stocked kitchen, and very clean. We loved the lower floor with all of the games and hot tub! Easy access to highway to get to other places on the outer banks. It was perfect place for us!

This cottage was in a great location, had plenty of room for all of us, and the kitchen was well stocked with applianes, utensils, etc. We had a fantastic week.

Great place to say in a lovely home. Quick walk to the beach, and plenty of shopping available nearby. Nice central location on the OBX. Only complaint is the proximity of the main road on the island which could get somewhat loud, but minor overall.

The Nauti Buoy is an amazing house! Only 3 of us were able to make the trip, so having a bedroom AND bathroom for each of us to ourselves was amazing! You won't be disappointed if you stay here!

We had a lovely few days here. Great house with lots of room. Property managers were great with any questions we had and answered very quickly. Short walk to the beach and lovely views.The stairs will humble you though, haha. Basics were provided, and there are shops incredibly close for anything you may need that you didn't bring.

Every year my daughter and I meet my sister in law for a girl's trip for spring break. This year we choose OBX. The house was centrally located to the south and north of the island . So it was easy to commute to either end.

The property and floor plan were amazing. My 4 grown kids, each had their own room and very comfortable beds and accomodatios. The kitchen and great room were our favorite places. The hot tub was a close second, and the Gamow room was well used. We haven’t played that much together in years.
Overall an amazing property and experience

Thanks for visiting, Jeffrey! We're so glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to welcome you back again soon.
Kitchen was fully equipped. Hot tub was very nice. Beds comfy. Very clean. Only thing was the listing did not show a pet fee of 175, BUT with communication from the realty company, they waived it for us since its NOT in the listing at all. Did you know you can book directly with Reaort Realty and save yourself 10%! I didnt! I love VRBO but that really sucked to learn that. SO go directly to the company website
Extremely clean home with comfortable furniture in three different living spaces. Very close to a wide stretch of beach. The access has both a wooden ramp and relatively flat sand dune.
We enjoyed both sunrises and sunsets from the many well maintained decks. The kitchen was well equipped and the beds are very comfortable. The very nice community pool was steps from the house. This was our 30th trip to the Outer Banks and this home is definitely in our three five favorite!

Thank you for staying with us, Toni! We're so happy to be one of your top choices & hope to welcome you back again sometime soon!
It's a very nice house, our stay was enjoyable. The kitchen is loaded with items. It's a lot of steps if you have aches. But I have to say if you sleep light you can hear the highway traffic even in the house. Once I fell asleep it was fine I stayed asleep.

Thank you for staying with us, Cynthia. We appreciate your feedback. We hope to welcome you back again.
The property was beautiful. Great location. The hot tub and bar area was awesome and the proximity to the beach and pool was perfect. Quiet street on the dead end street. Highway traffic was noisy but nothing that ruined our vacation. . A few pieces of the furniture were damaged prior to our arrival, mostly the ottoman that was missing a leg. The living room furniture in general was dated but comfortable. The only other “issue” we encountered was the “palmetto” bug that took up residency in the pantry and the mold under the kitchen sink. But it is a lovely home and was very clean and comfortable for my whole family.

We Found our stay very lovely over Christmas vacation. In this Covid world, we wanted to place to go away where out family could feel safe The kitchen was very well appointed however there was not a high chair as advertised. There was a booster seat but no straps to attach it to the seat. Made it very difficult

We appreciate your feedback, Melissa. We are glad to hear your visit was overall great.
Property was as listed, professionally cleaned home, bathrooms, etc, plastic packaged towels and wash cloths provided. House does have an ocean view although it is hard to tell, sound side view is excellent and great colors during sunset. Takes maybe 3 minutes to walk down to public beach access on a great part of Nags Head. Plenty of games available and TV in every room if that's what you are looking for. Beautiful home, plenty of entertainment, more outdoor decks than we knew what to do with on sound side and ocean side. Close to grocery store for food etc, plenty of year round restaurants, stop at Hrits Grill for breakfast you will be glad you did, and make time to visit wright brothers memorial, Jockey State park, Roanoke Island aquarium, 4x4 Corolla for wild Horses, Bodie Island light house, I could go on, just enjoy OBX and come home to this beautiful beach getaway.

Thank you for staying with us, Jordan! We hope to welcome you back again sometime soon.
This was our 2nd stay at Nauti Buoy—graciously accommodated our group of 12 adults. We easily fit 4 vehicles in the driveway. We cooked dinners every night, and found the kitchen to be well-stocked with cookware. Access to the beach is really convenient; we were easily able to pack up and get back to the house at the first sight of a storm. Proximity to grocery, dining and shopping is a plus. The property does back up to the coastal highway, which is loud. We did not hear the noise from inside the house, but you will hear it when in the hot tub or on the back decks. We loved the game room and made use of the community pool. We had some problems with the garbage disposal and with the air conditioning during our stay, but the management company quickly responded and rectified both issues promptly.

TL;DR: Good location. Pet stains on carpet, not enough basic things provided like soap and paper towels. Kinda pricey but overall not bad.
Location of the property was great, pretty central and close to beach access. The carpets inside the house were a bit rough, being somewhere that is pet friendly, I would probably have opted for rugs instead of carpeted everywhere. Our dogs were sniffing on some darker stains which leads me to believe there had been a few messes. They only provided 2 hand soaps total, one paper towel roll, one big trash bag for the kitchen, no dish soap, and one roll of toilet paper per bathroom. If you’re staying for a longer period of time, you’ll need to bring your own things, which was not outlined to us. The VRBO listing didn’t have any of the checkout duties listed either. We had to use a separate app to view the property and communicate with them which was slightly annoying, but they were quick to communicate. Overall, the place was pretty good, I’d honestly give it 3.5 stars not 4 due to some of the lack of basics.

Hi Brian, thanks for the feedback on your vacation experience. It is in our guest app, but we're sorry we didn't make it more obvious that we currently do not supply starter kits in all our properties. We will correct that for future guests... We value your opinion, and will pass along your feedback to improve our quality and service.

Pros-the house is great! Plenty of space for everyone to spread out. Love that there are two master bedrooms on different levels, along with a living room on each floor. Very close to the beach, easy walk. Close to shopping and restaurants. Probably one of the cleanest rental homes I have ever been to. Cons-really the cons have nothing to do with the rental or the owners. The problem is the rental company. On vrbo it indicates that check in is 3 pm and check out 11 am. However, according to the rental company the check in time is 4-6 pm and checkout is 10am. I mentioned to the reality company the discrepancy and they were less than accommodating about this. Also, when you check into the home, every television indicates that the checkout time is 11 am. I have screen shots of both of these things and shared it with the rental company. They indicate that it’s not their fault that there is a misinformation because you signed a contract stating the times.I asked if it was possible to get a guaranteed check in time of 4 pm as we were all coming from different directions and needed a definite check in time.I was told I could pay 100 for an early check in time.I did not want to check in early, just wanted a confirmed check in time of 4pm.I should not be required to pay extra for that. I have rented homes in numerous countries with numerous different reality companies and have never had a rolling check in time. Also, power went out and reality company wanted me to call to report It
