About the host

Hosted by Mike Olson

Host profile image
Meet the Olsons!

Mike and Renee fell in love — both with each other and with the Outer Banks — during their college summers here. Renee worked in local shops and the iconic Captain Frank’s, while Mike was a lifeguard with the Kill Devil Hills and Nags Head beach teams.

Now living in Chesterfield, VA with their kids, Meganne and Max, and dogs Bo and Boomer, they still spend as much time as possible at the beach they love.

Their vacation homes, OBX Life I, OBX Life II, and OBX Life IV all reflect that same passion for the coast.
🏖 OBX I: A 5-bedroom oceanfront home with incredible views and private beach access — classic, roomy, and full of charm.
🌊 OBX II: A 3-bedroom family favorite with a pool, just steps from the beach, restaurants, and Jennette’s Pier.
OBX Life IV A 6 Bedroom 7 bath with elevator in the heart off Kill Devil Hills and a block from the beach

Mike and Renee love sharing their homes and helping guests create their own OBX memories.

All the houses are reasonably priced and offer great value for the premium locations that they are in.

Come and create some great memories in the Outer Banks!


"everyday's different at the beach"

Why they chose this property

Our guest are in love with the house because we try and keep the house a traditional beach cottage feel. Sitting on the back porch watching the sunrise or the porpoises play in the surf. Oceanfront offers it all. South Nags Head is away from all the heavy traffic and the beach is less crowded.

What makes this property unique

SO MUCH TO DO! Sitting in the hot tub overlooking the ocean is incredible. Or grabbing your fish rod and walking down the beach to the pier. Or taking a break from the beach and relaxing in the hammock at the pool. This house has it all.
