My family loved our stay in this beach house. It has everything we needed and the kitchen was stocked with plenty of cooking items. Short driving distance to the ocean front and short walk to sound side beach.

Great OBX vacay

Enjoyed staying at a cute, clean, well stocked home in Nags Head. We were close enough to the beach with a short drive, and for a small daily fee, we accessed the community pool. Convenient to grocery stores, restaurants and shopping. Owners were helpful and responsive as well. Great place to visit!

We enjoyed this house very much. It is a short distance from everything but far enough away from the main road to be quite. It is big enough for a large family to stay comfortably in. The house was stocked with everything we needed. The outdoor shower was amazing!
