About this property

Semi oceanfront location with a 3 min walk to the ocean and Gift Card

For the start of 2025 we will be offering dining gift cards for early booked stays into the First of May.
This lovely two bedroom, one bath, is located on the beach road in Nags Head at mile post 16. There are two beach access close enough you don' t need to drive.


We have had more fun checking guests in personally and telling them about our Outer Banks than you know and can't wait for future guests to come enjoy any one of our places. Mom made them super cute and beach themed. If you wanted to go on vacation with some other families but like your space also, we have the spot for you and our family restaurant , the Dunes is right behind you for breakfast, dinner, carry out and a full bar with no driving required. Our places are safe and secure with storage for beach gear.
In the event of a hurricane or threat of one and you need to cancel. Not a problem! We give a full refund. We do not wish to profit from a storm and we will hope you can rebook at a future date and pick us and Nags Head year after year.


The beach accesses
By close they are 50 yards on each side. The one to the north does have an out door shower and foot wash, but there is also a water hose on the north side of the house. If is blowing be sure to wash off your car. There is a spacious front porch to enjoy your coffee and catch a glimpse of the ocean and a back deck for a cocktail and a sunset you won't forget. Want to bring your boat? Not a problem. We have plenty of room to put even the biggest of trailer-able boats. There is lots to do. A 1000 foot pier, Jennette's, operated by the North Carolina Aquarium, is half a mile away for fishing and just to walk. Putt putt, go carts, and jet skis are across the street on the sound side, along with a public access. There are 10 restaurants within 3 miles. Fishing charters are available within a short drive down to Pirates Cove Marina. Nags Head Golf Links is 1 mile away with links style golf at its finest. Need someone to play with? Just let me know! They also gave me some discount cards. Hatteras ferry dock is an hour a way to the island of Ocracoke. My Family owns and operates the Dunes Restaurant for the past 34 years. We love the area and know you will have a great time staying here with us in Nags Head.

On Roanoke Island you will find a bunch of stuff to do. One is the North Carolina Aquarium. Its one of several in the NC system and also hooked to Jennetts Pier. Its a good go to for the whole family, I like to take a date there to kill some time on a cloudy day. Lots of animals and fish and even a jelly fish viewing. For the price its worth is. There is also the Lost Colony play that recreates the first English settlement in 1587 and what they think happened. It only plays in summer though. Most of the actors are college students in preforming arts. It has true story behind it, Indians and gun fights, Singing and Dancing, and great costumes. Its 20 for any seat and 25 or 30 and you get to go back stage.
In downtown Manteo there are shops from fine art to beach stuff, 4 restaurants, one with a brewery, a distillery, a child play ground, a replica of a light house, my grandad was stationed on the real one, a historic boat building shop, some charter boats for hire, a pirate ship, and the oldest family run movie theater, that is only 7 per person and they have great popcorn.

Kitchen supplies very minimal. Can opener didn’t work no scissors no sharp knives to cut any thing. Definitely need more coffee, mugs, and throw blankets or extra blankets for the beds. The only other thing that I thought was misrepresented was the laundry. The laundry room, outback, needing coins, and was very sketchy and scary in there for a single woman when no one‘s around!

Perfect location!

This was a girls trip to the Outer Banks. We loved the location with public beach access very close. Patrick was a wonderful host; responding promptly our first night when we could not unlock the door. We also highly recommend the Dune restaurant owned by the family for 40 years. Would definitely rent again!

Patrick was great—responded right away when we had questions. The duplex was bright and comfortable and just a 2 minute walk to the beach. We enjoyed the rocking chairs on the porch. Our main recommendation: install a towel bar and a hand towel ring in the bathroom. (The adjoining unit had them.) Hooks by the door for jackets would be nice too. We had a great time.

QUICK SPRING BREAK STAY

My daughter, niece and I stayed for two nights. What a cute space. Plenty of seating to be in the living room. Bedrooms were quaint. Loved looking out the front and seeing the water. The walk to the beach was easy and quick. Patrick was very responsive to my texts and very pleasant. Would recommend for no more than 4 people based on size. Recommend.

The unit is the perfect size for 2, 3, or 4 people. It is pleasantly decorated and very clean. The bathroom is small, which did not bother us (the shower is very clean and roomy, the other fixtures are just very close together), but might be an issue for some. The kitchen has all the essentials. The location is great -- we were able to walk to lots of places, and the beach is just across the street, another easy walk. The owners/management are responsive and pleasant. We would come back.

About the host

Hosted by Patrick Pritchard

Host profile image
I am the middle son of the Pritchard family. Mom is a true Native to the Outer Banks with roots down the beach as far as 1749 Pop said. Dad is from Elizabeth City about an hour away and grew up vacationing on the beach. They bought the Dunes restaurant and the duplex property in 1982. Dad was a banker who wanted a change with two small boys, 3 and 1 and a little girl on the way, he thought this would be a way to get ahead. 35 years later we are still at it at the Dunes and our other pride and joy Grits Grill, a breakfast and lunch spot two, miles up the road.

So we redid one side of the duplex and saw that it was getting some rents after we put it in the VRBO program, so we did this side also. They are cool propertys for couples of small familys.

I grew up at the north end of Roanoke Island, where the Lost Colony settled back in 1587. Had a great child hood on the Outer Banks. There is so much to do. Hunting, fishing, boating, 4 wheeler s, chasing girls, beach time, summer jobs, winter breaks. We were always involved in school programs as well as church stuff. One of my favorite hobbies is golf which I picked up at 16 but was able to get good quick. Still love to play just don't get the time. Went to a small school of Campbell University where is spent 4 and 1/2 years to get a Business Degree. Moved to Atlanta to work for a race marketing company and then a golf company before moving back to the OBX to work for the family running Grits Grill and then back to the Dunes where I am today. I live close by with my best friend, a 10 year old Black Lab, Sam. We hope you choose our spot to visit the Outer Banks.

Why they chose this property

We are listing this property because of its location to so many things in our area and THE BEACH is right across the street. Hard to say much more. If you cant relax here at Mom's Home Away From Home, then we need to have a long talk and maybe a cocktail or two!
