Ocean side property with a guest friendly attitude and large inviting yard.
We purchased Lind Sue in April of 2016. We updated and refreshed the house and created a back yard outdoor space that would provide an area where families could gather and enjoy each other's company. With 5 children and 11 grandchildren it was important to us. We continue to add and update as the years roll by. Little things that may go unnoticed but make a difference. In 2019 we added 2 double hammock swings in the shade of the live oaks just behind the fire pit. In 2020 we added 10 Polly Resin rockers to replace the wood ones which never seem to last in the environment. In 2023 we added a hammock bench swing to the rear yard and individual hammock swings in the carport area. We continue to invest in the outdoor environment. Coming soon will be a masonry BBQ Charcoal Grill. We have replaced 6 or 7 standard metal propane grills. They just don't last and realistically, propane just isn't BBQ. Homes with outdoor space like this are rare in the OBX.
Our Linda Sue has 5 bedrooms and 5.5 baths. One bedroom on the entrance level, three on the mid-level and one on the third floor. All bedrooms have a private baths, flat screen TVs and direct access to an outside deck. There are two additional TVs in the living areas on the entrance level and upper level. The entrance level bedroom has a pyramid bunk. The three mid-level bedrooms have Queens and the upper level bedroom is a King. There is a queen sleeper sofa in the main living area. We also provide an outside lift so bringing luggage or supplies up or down is not a hassle.
We try to provide everything you need to enjoy your stay at the outer banks. The décor in general tells you that you are at the beach. We continually update features to keep it as good as it can be. We really want you to feel at home while you enjoy your vacation.
It's a short walk to the beach and Nags Head Fishing Pier. Shopping is right around the corner. Good restaurants north or south. Fine or casual dining. Water sports and fishing in the ocean or sound. Relax in the Hot Tub or pool. Golf is near by. If you are really adventurous you can try hand gliding on Jockey's ridge or just visit the Wright Brother's memorial. There is also plenty of nightlife near by. Everything you need to enjoy yourself and your family on your vacation.
In March of 2023 we purchased a Florida Keys waterfront property in the Venture Out community on Cudjoe Key. https://ventureoutcondo.com/ Just 20 miles from Key West. 65' of Seawall, and a short boat ride to the Gulf or the Atlantic. Plenty of amenities and sunshine. We are working on offering fishing and boat excursions right from the deck. Hopefully 2026. VRBO listing 3292691.

We had a wonderful stay. We celebrated out 60th wedding anniversary with all our family.
The place was great and was well suited for our family.
Thanks for a wonderful time at your place.
Loved staying at the Linda Sue! Perfect for our large family. Everyone having their own bedroom/bathroom was so nice. Thoroughly enjoyed the backyard, pool and hit tib. Great location.
The family and I had great time at this property. It was in a great community with very easy access to the beach. Definitely will stay again if we have the chance.
Great house close to the beach that 3 families with young children really enjoyed. Would definitely stay again. The huge backyard area is a rarity in the OBX.
The house was all it said it was and more. The location was perfect. Close to beach, shopping and restaurants. Our group was extremely happy with this property and looking forward to staying here again.
Our stay in Nags Head was fabulous! The house has a great backyard with a clean pool and hot tub. Each of the 5 bedrooms has a bathroom and it gave the 10 of us plenty of space to spread out. Easy walk to the beach and Surfin Spoons ice cream. Would definitely recommend!
The property was perfect for our multi-age group. Lots of space, wonderful backyard area with pool/hot tub/grassy play area for kids. Well-stocked with pool/beach toys.
Charcoal grill was too small for our group of 10.
Salt water pool was small but totally enjoyed!!
This is the second time staying here. We love this property. The backyard is fantastic. They have done some updates to furniture and the rooms since our last visit and it’s great. Really nice short walk to the beach.
They owners really had families in mind. The had everything you could need and want, from the pool and hot tub, to beach cart with chairs and boogie boards. Plenty of dinning and sleep space for a large family. The yard is beautiful. Very clean and highly recommended.
We really enjoyed our stay at Linda Sue! The house is fully equipped with most everything you need including lots of beach chairs and sand toys! Also has pack and plays and high chairs for the little ones..oh and the backyard is delightful! the owners are very quick to respond and address any questions or concerns..they were great to work with! Thanks for the delightful time!
So amazing and relaxing! Every room has a full bathroom, and balcony leading outside 2 gathering rooms one on the 1st level by the pool, and one on the third floor. The house had everything we needed and the pool / outdoor area was everything I could have asked for and more and the pool was always warm! The host was quick to respond and I had no issues with check in! There was also no excessive or unreasonable check out rules. Would definitely stay here again, the beach was about a 6-8 min walk
We had a fantastic time staying in this beautiful OBX property. When you walk in you immediately feel at home. The main living area was spacious and cozy, but the backyard was absolutely our favorite! Everything from the swings, fire pit, hot tub and pool. This space was so well done and helped us create so many unforgettable memories.
Each year my two sister in laws, mother in law, and our children take a family vacation. This home was very accommodating for our family. We enjoyed many days in the pool and a couple days at the beach in walking distance. We made many memories in Nags Head and in this home. I highly recommend this home to those families looking for relaxing and safe environment. Thank you for sharing your home with us.
The home was great, great location, great stet up.
We were a bit confused on the operation of the elevator. There is no Murphy bed or day bed, just sofa couch on top floor.
Bring extra towels, also know that pool guy does come unannounced.
Other than that we had a blast and would rent there again
We had a great stay -- the open floor plan and comfortable seating allowed us to have a lot of quality family time together. The walk to the beach was very do-able. We chose to rent a golf cart for part of the stay and we were always able to find a parking spot at the closest beach access. We arrived early on our check-in day, and as the cleaning crew was finished Tim was nice enough to let us in early. We loved the pool area -- the grass in the back yard was very overgrown (like knee-high), so we didn't use that extended yard space (we were also closer to the road and didn't love the road noise). All in all we had a great stay.
Our family had a wonderful time at this house. The backyard amenities are amazing. The beach is short walk and so are some local restaurants. The neighborhood was quiet and everyone was very nice. The only recommendation I would have is to have someone look into the beds. The frames in some of the rooms were noisy so when you moved around it was kind of loud. Other then that no complaints. The kitchen was stocked with almost everything you could want. We truly enjoyed our stay.

About the host
Hosted by Tim Anderson
Kim and I were married in 1985. We have 5 children and 11 grandchildren. I grew up outside of Philadelphia near Valley Forge Park. Kim grew up south of Baltimore in Glen Burnie. We currently live in Hamilton Virginia 45 miles west of DC and 10 miles east of the Appalachian Trail. The name Linda Sue is in memory of her older sister who died unexpectedly at the age of 60. I know Kim misses her and this will be a reminder of her openhearted and warm nature. We will remember you always.
Why they chose this property
We have been coming to the Outer Banks since our kids were young. We have pictures of them terrorizing the beach in their diapers. After years of looking at properties on lots marginally larger than the house footprint we found this home. We both knew it had the potential we had been looking for. We have updated it inside and out to be the type of vacation rental we would like to visit. A short walk to the beach, plenty of amenities nearby, and a yard large enough to enjoy with our family.
What makes this property unique
We really liked this home because of the way it is set up. Each bedroom having it's own bath. An additional half bath on the upper level living area. The well equipped kitchen with everything you need to prepare meals. A large gathering room with access to the decks. An outside lift for loading or unloading groceries and luggage. The yard with enough room and seating that you almost don't miss the beach. And the location! Short walk to the beach. Close to a host of good restaurants, activities, and shopping.
