Originally a US Navy building that was moved to it's present location in the early 50's. This is our family getaway that we share with guests, some who have been coming back for several years. It is within biking distance of attractions such as the nc aquarium, the Lost Colony Theater, and the Manteo waterfront and Centenial Park. The house has a/c, cable and internet. A backyard hammock, and an outdoor shower. It is an economical and fun place with something for everyone whether it be surfing, fishing or enjoying the many local attractions.

Wonderful stay!

We had a wonderful stay! The home was very clean, quiet and had plenty of space for everyone to relax comfortably. It was well stocked with everything you might need which was especially helpful in case you forgot to pack something. The host was responsive and made the entire experience smooth and stress free. Honestly the pictures don’t do it justice it’s even better in person. Would absolutely stay here again!

Great stay with privacy

I had a fantastic stay at James' property. It exactly fit my needs and appreciated the seclusion, but was close enough to access Nags Head. The property is nearby the local airport, but we were not bothered at all by the limited air traffic. Would definitely stay again.

Great place!

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and spacious. We were a little nervous about the neighborhood as we were driving there since it’s in kind of an industrial area, but it ended up being so quiet and peaceful.

Secluded lovely home.

A wonderful, clean, nicely decorated, comfortable, well-stocked, slightly quirky home off the beaten path. We especially loved the screened in porch. The bed was comfortable and the welcoming touches from the host were very nice. We enjoyed our time here.

This property has the best location. So close to a life guarded beach and the national seashore. It’s clean, quiet, and has everything you need. We’ve stayed here two years in a row and plan on next year as well!

Cute cozy cottage

Cute, cozy cottage. Nice owner to deal with and so easy to get a hold of if you need him. Private area. Only 10 minutes to beach in Nags head. Love the back screened in porch. And appreciate he allows dogs. Our shitzu loves the house.

Nice home makes for a great getaway

The house had a nice layout for our family of 5, was clean and had all the essentials. The remodeled kitchen was a bonus as well as the beach gear - beach towels, toys, and umbrella. James was accommodating with flexing our stay dates on short notice and was responsive when we had a follow up. The location is slightly off the beaten path in a quiet area, which took us some getting used to but ended up really appreciating. Overall so much to see, do, and enjoy in the OBX area and would book here again!

Excellent, once again!

It was my second time renting this fabulous home. It’s quiet, extremely clean, comfortable and had everything (and then some!) that I needed for my stay. James was a wonderful host, he stayed in communication with me as I decided last minute to extend my a few more days. I’m hoping to visit again next year, thanks, James!
