We had a great stay. The property manager resolved an issue with the TV very quickly. The gas BBQ was broken and there was no offer to fix or replace it but there were communal charcoal BBQs available if we wanted to use those. The communication was great and the house was in a perfect location. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Charming cottage

We loved the historic charm of the Cottage. It was a perfect size for our family for a 3 night stay. Also, it is a very short walk to the ocean and very close to anything you would need.

Overall nice place, great beach access. The 2 upstairs bedrooms stayed too hot, there a fans in each, still hot hot, the ac was great downstairs, they need to put in some kind of small ac's upstairs. The toaster does not work, there is no bleander ,bummer. If these things are addressed, i would have rated excellent fir everything. And go back to the Culpepper cottage

The cottage was nice. Plenty of room for 5 adults. Great location: close to beach, restaurants, ice cream shop. Only complaint we have is that the TVs in the upstairs bedrooms didn’t have any channels.

This is a fabulous location for a family. Detached from other units, it's a true cottage that allows for ease and casual living. Less than one block walking distance directly to the public access point on the beach and literally right next to an ice cream shop, this cottage is a no-brainer for us in thinking about future bookings. Some things to remember though is to bring your own beach towels and I would suggest shampoo and body wash. What is provided (toiletries) is minimal and not the best, but can do in a pinch. The only drawback I experienced is that the bedroom on the main floor has a bathroom with a window directly next to the toilet. However, that window looks directly into the dining area of the main floor. Probably a screened porch some time in its history, it's just an awkward placement and made our guest in that space feel a bit awkward every time they used the bathroom. There is a blind to draw down, but it is not a privacy blind and does not cover the entire window (sides are a bit exposed). Other than that, great location and stay.

We picked this place for its proximity to the beach and it really delivered on that. We were less than a block away and that was great! The cottage overall was spacious but didn't seem very well cleaned or maintained. The kitchen was a nice size and decently stocked and it was nice that there was a washer/dryer we could use.

Everything was good except dirty dishes and pots on arrival. They offered to send a housekeeper which we declined. We asked for extra dishwasher pods and they dropped them off for us within an hour. The house itself was clean except for some wrappers near sofa. Great location! Beach right across the street. Grocery store a couple of blocks away and several restaurants within walking distance. We had a nice stay.
Pot was in drawer. Looks like burnt beans. We cleaned it the best we could.

Our stay was enjoyable! Truthfully for what you pay you can’t beat what you get! The access to the ocean was perfect! Yes there is a lot of traffic in the area, but that is everywhere! The communication is great with the company! We didn’t have the WiFi info when arrived but they sent us the information almost immediately! As far as cleanliness, you can defiantly tell they attempted. Could maybe be a little better as far as bathrooms but again that’s just minor. Overall it was great experience!

We just returned from our stay this afternoon. We had a quick family trip of 5 people representing three groups based on our work schedules. So the layout of 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms was perfect. It had modern conveniences and appearance with the charm of a Nag Heads Cottage. Wish we could have stayed longer based on the convenience of the cottage. Even though it was on the "second row", it was an easy walk to the beach. Next door to great ice cream shop and very convenient getting to the main highway to travel either way.Even with the heat and humidity, the porch with a fan we brought, was a good hangout place. Would highly recommend. We would stay again.

We never received a check in code and spent an hour on the phone with someone trying to get into our unit. They lied on the phone and said the cleaning crew was still inside when that wasn’t true, as we were outside the unit trying to get in. Once inside, It looked like nobody came in to clean, just threw new towels on the bed- there was hair in the showers and yogurt bites all over the kitchen and dining room floor. The location of the unit was absolutely amazing and perfect, but very disappointed in the rest of the experience.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the frustrating start to your stay and the inconvenience caused by the delay in receiving your check-in code. We understand how stressful it is to arrive and be unable to access your accommodations, especially after travel, and we regret the confusion and miscommunication you experienced with our team. We are also very sorry to hear that the cleanliness of the unit did not meet expectations upon arrival. Hair in the showers and debris on the floors are not reflective of the standards we strive to provide, and we have shared your comments with our housekeeping and operations teams so these issues can be addressed and prevented moving forward. We truly appreciate your kind words about the location and are glad you were able to enjoy that aspect of your stay. Your feedback is valuable and will help us improve both our communication and cleaning processes for future guests.
