Coming from New Bern North Carolina, our stay was wonderful. Neet clean and pretty accommodations, only problem I didn't realize there were so many steps. Other than that very comfortable; if asked I would recommend. 5 minute drive to off-road onto the beach access, and 5 minute walk to the beach from the house. Less than 20 minutes to any restaurant or shopping area.

The house was perfect for our family. Quiet neighborhood with easy access to the beach and views of the ocean and sound. Close enough to get to restaurants, activities and the grocery store easily, but far enough away to enjoy the sounds of the ocean. Communication was excellent and the owner was very friendly. Thank you for letting us stay in your home. Highly recommended!

Perfectly close to the beach and secluded!

Our stay at Nags Tale was wonderful! The home is in excellent proximity for close beach access, and the area does not feel crowded compared to farther north in Nags Head. The home offered everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We’d enjoy staying here again!
