S. Nags Head Semi-Oceanfront: Large Pool, Cabana, Hot Tub, NEW Kitchen & Baths!!
Welcome to Nags Head Haven (NHH). Upgraded again for the 2023 season, you've just found the perfect home for your beach vacation. ONLINE Booking is turned ON, but for the best rates and to save time with the variable costs, please use the "Ask Owner A Question" section to provide info BEFORE booking. THANKS! 2022 Upgrade video at https://youtu.be/NJDpGn7yMMc
NHH enjoys a majestic semi ocean-front location providing easy access to the beach coupled with the privacy and space that only a double lot can afford. Complete ocean and sunrise views to the east and quiet park and sound views facing west. Even locals marvel at the views presented from the upper living area. From morning coffee on the front deck to evening/sunset hot tubbing on the rear deck, this house has it all. The complete kitchen remodel will please the most discerning of cooks.
This vacation paradise features a large outdoor swimming pool*, 6-person hot tub, large HDTV in living area and six additional flat-screen TV's throughout the house, game room with foosball table and vintage arcade game (Ms. Pac-man Cocktail Arcade Table), outdoor basketball area, high-speed wireless internet access, free long-distance telephone calls, 10-car parking area. Easy access is provided via a keyless entry system, so there is no need to stand in line at a rental agency on arrival and departure. Sunday turnover dates (during the season) have been selected to help alleviate the dreaded traffic snarl encountered during the peak Saturday times. You can vacation with ease knowing that local maintenance and service personnel are available for any unusual circumstances or emergency situations, and I personally work hard to ensure the highest level of customer satisfaction.
NHH provides over 3000 square feet of living space with THREE King bedrooms, each with en-suite full bathrooms. The fourth bedroom has a Queen bed and Twin Bed. The fifth bedroom/kid's room is furnished with two pyramid bunk beds (two full beds below and two twin beds above.) Unlike many beach houses that squeeze a king bed into a small room, each of NHH's master bedrooms is large enough for a king size bed, work desk, and pack 'n play. Two even have their own wet bars.
What truly sets NHH apart from the rest is it's location. Homes on Mile Post 18 back up to the Cape Hatteras National Park, so privacy abounds. Enjoy the peace and quiet of the National Park behind, with incredibly easy beach access only 150 yards (450 feet) straight ahead. The shops at Nags Head, including Food Lion and The Fresh Market, are a short 6 minutes (3 1/2 miles) away, yet your vacation fun isn't interrupted with a busy highway and urban noise. Best of all, the beaches of South Nags Head are some of the nicest in the area. Our beach nourishment program ensures a great beach experience, and our beach remains uncrowded and family friendly. Beach nourishment completed in 2019 further expanded a great beach.
NHH's layout works for families of all sizes, sleeping up to 15. The first level features a recreation room with TV, cocktail arcade game (Ms. Pac-man/Galaga) and foosball table, full refrigerator, microwave, wet bar, half bathroom, and a king master suite with full bathroom. The game room and bedroom have access to the massive lower deck surrounding the house. Enjoy a swing in the hammock, or a splash in the over-sized swimming pool. There is a built-in BBQ as well.
On the second level you will find four more bedrooms. Two master bedrooms with king beds and full bathrooms. One room with a queen and twin bed, and a kid's room with 2 pyramid bunk beds (two full on lower and two twin on top). There is a covered deck facing the ocean, with access from both master bedrooms. Another great amenity is a deck area overlooking the swimming pool. This spot allows guests to view and enjoy the pool area without having to go downstairs. Perfect grandchild viewing!
When you make it to the third level, you will know why I fell in love with this house. The third level features 360 degree views of the ocean/national park/sunrise/sunset. Add in a few skylights, and you've found the closest thing to being outdoors. The brand new kitchen is complete with quartz counter tops, wood-like porcelain tile, a massive refrigerator and ice maker, chef's gas stove top, electric convection oven, microwave, drip coffee maker, k-cup coffee maker, toaster oven, and blender, with a breakfast bar seating 4 next to an adjoining dining area which seats 10-12. The kitchen, dining area, and living room all feature tall ceilings throughout. You can enjoy the big screen HDTV while sitting in front of a warm gas fireplace on a cool evening*. The living room opens to a wrap-around deck featuring ocean views and park/sound views. The 6-person hot tub, cleverly situated on the upper-rear deck, allows for sunset soaking. In addition to the main sitting area, there is a second area complete with a wet-bar and mini fridge to host pre-dinner cocktails, keeping family out of the kitchen.
Experience the vacation of a lifetime creating timeless memories; whiling away the hours at the beach or in your private pool or hot tub, enjoying a cool drink on the deck marveling at the ocean views, or visiting the surrounding area where within a short walk or drive you will find fine dining and the favorite restaurants of the locals. There are outlets stores, boutiques, golf courses, miniature golf, hang gliding, the Wright Brothers Memorial and the Lost Colony in Manteo. Come and enjoy...you will want to return again and again.

My family has vacationed at South Nags Head for 35 years. NHH is by far the nicest property we have rented. Seth's attention to detail is incredible, we had everything we needed and more!!! If you are fortunate enough to get the opportunity to vacation at NHH....jump on it!!

Jane, That is high praise indeed and while I’m blushing a bit, I’m so pleased that you and your family had a great time at NHH! Needless to say, you all are always welcome at my labor of love beach house. Enjoy the rest of the summer!! -Seth
Nags Head Haven is a great choice for people who want to relax and be close to the beach. The pool cabana is awesome and enables a comfortable pool experience. House is really nice and full of thoughtful details that made our stay all the more enjoyable. Not to mention the views from the decks!
My family and I have stayed all over the OBX area throughout the years (Hatteras, Avon, Kitty Hawk, Duck and Corolla) but this little stretch of South Nags Head was our favorite. It was the perfect location and central to all of the things we love to do. The house was clean, comfortable and spacious. It was perfect with ocean views, a quick walk to the beach and a private, wide-open view of the natural area behind the house that extends to the sound. Definitely recommend and the host was very responsive, kind and easy to work with.
From the start to finish this was a great experience with a great house. It accommodated our family vacation with ease with many great amenities. The view and walk to the beach were amazing. Will definitely be coming back!! Thanks again!
This was an amazing stay! Our entire family had an amazing time. This house is great for children as all of our children ranging from 15 to 3 had a blast and the pool was perfect when the beach became too much for the little ones! This house is so spacious and accommodated our large family nicely without absolutely breaking the bank! Communication with Seth was always a pleasure and quick response time. Will definitely be looking at booking another stay here on our next family trip to the outer banks!

Wow David, thank you for your generous words. Hearing that the kids (and adults) enjoyed NHH makes it all worth it for me! Have a wonderful rest of the summer. -Seth
What a phenomenal house with everything you could want or need. And so reasonably priced for how gorgeous, modern and clean it is with all the amenities including a great pool, hot tub and even little covered tiki bar area, hammock, so many decks, the perfect sunset view, an amazing kitchen, plus only a brief five minute walk at most to the beach and that’s with little kids and lots of bags in tow. Will definitely stay here again!
What an amazing time at Nags Head Haven! This listing was exactly as described and pictured, clean, tidy, and the beds were so comfortable. The sunrise and sunset views from the top floor were beautiful. The pool and cabana were put to good use and we must’ve spent 80% of our time there. The kitchen was well stocked and we cooked multiple meals and enjoyed around the large dining room table. The walk to the beach was easy and we were grateful for the shed stocked with chairs and umbrellas.
Overall an amazing family vacation!

House was in great order, and very well stocked.
We really like staying here. This was the second time for us and the fourth time for our son. Location is great for beach access, and the private pool is a great added bonus. The only negative would be the bedroom in the basement level. The bed there is a bit uncomfortable. May be time to replace the mattress.

Keith,
Thank you so very much for your multiple visits, business, and for taking such good care of my beach home.
While I did replace the bed in the lower bedroom this season, I kept the mattress based on positive feedback. Truth be told, I use the same bedroom on every personal visit, and it wasn’t that one. Seems like I need to change that practice, live in all bedrooms, and spring (pun intended) into action should anything be less than perfect.
Thanks again,
Seth
We had booked our OBX fishing trip quite some time ago, before global pandemic had hit. Seth was super fast to get back to us with all of our questions. Luckily Dare County opened up in time for us to take our trip - the fishing was great, the home was excellent with a great interior, multiple decks and swimming pool. Plenty of comfortable sleeping quarters for everyone - We will be back!

Great layout and location!
This house was perfect for our family of 11. The top floor is completely open, bright and airy. Kitchen is very well stocked. Plenty of seating for everyone. Beautiful sunsets. Short walk to the beach. Nice to have so many master suites. Beds weren't very comfortable but were fine for one week. Loved the shed with chairs and boogie boards. Hot tub was great. Owner is very easy to communicate with and very accommodating!

Jada, Thank you for taking time to review Nags Head Haven. I have to agree with your assessment of the open upper level. The first view from upstairs sold me on the house years ago and I realize pictures just don’t do it justice. As for the beds, I must admit that I always sleep in the same one. However, my mission this off-season is to play Prince-and-the-pea to determine which mattresses are ready for upgrade and act accordingly. Only the best at NHH! Thank you for your business and have a wonderful holiday season.
My family was looking for a place to celebrate my son’s high school graduation and his appointment into the US Air Force Academy. This house was a fantastic find. Located at a two minute walk to the beach, my family enjoyed the sun, sand and food while relaxing at this great house. The house itself was clean and sanitized for our arrival and the house itself was wonderful on the inside, with an updated kitchen and living area, where we were able to enjoy tv and play family games. The nights were just as fun for us as we enjoyed the spacious decks, hot tub and pool. The host did a great job with communication and suggested several places to visit and eat, which was a huge help in our first time visit. Overall, this was our family’s favorite vacation and it couldn’t have happened without such a great house.

Congratulations again on your son's appointment to the U.S. Air Force Academy! I'm thrilled that NHH had a small part to play in your celebrations. Thank you for taking the time to provide a snapshot of your experiences for my future guests. I'd be thrilled to welcome you and your family back to NHH, and thank you for your business (and your son's future service)!
Property was great!!! No complaints on house , other than we wished it cooled better , it was a hot! Week. Proximity to beach access was great only thing was beach access was climbing up sand dune & down a little taxing on our older family members and people not in great shape . It looks like stairs might have been there at one point but are now covered totally by sand. But the house is very comfortable and enjoyed our stay. Also 4th of july we could see all fireworks from sitting on the deck that was a big plus.
This was a fantastic house to stay in for Thanksgiving.
The kitchen and dining area were most important to us because of the holiday. We found the kitchen thoughtfully stocked (all too often it's a mash up of random cooking equipment in other rentals). There is plenty of seating in the dining area, with overflow seating if needed.
It is set up with multiple gathering spaces around the home so people don't feel on top of each other. There is plenty of space for kids to play and adults to relax.
Thoughtful touches around the home, like games, sanitizing wipes, and even a few packs of Thanksgiving-themed napkins.
The beach is about a block away, and shops/restaurants are a short drive. Even in the off season, there is plenty to do in the area.
Seth was great to work with as I was planning a four family holiday from the other side of the country. I hope we are able to book another stay sometime!

WOW!!!
We have been coming to Outer Banks now for 3 years, and this place was by far the best! You can truly tell the owners want to make sure it is YOUR home away from home. Very well stocked kitchen. Dishes, silverware, pots, pans....you name it, it had it! All the bedrooms are spacious, and the living area is huge and very nicely decorated and furnished. Can't get over how nice it was. Beach access right across the street. The private pool was very spacious and allowed for lots of fun with the kids and grandkids. Our only complaint would be the internet speed was very slow. Also, the charcoal grille. We understand why some of these things are the way they are. Will we come back?? Most definitely! Already rebooked!

Keith,
Thank you for your kind words from last season.
I wanted you to know that prior to the 2018 season starting I've reached out to Spectrum/Charter and doubled NHH's internet speeds. Proximity to the wireless router is an issue, but I have noticed a significant improvement to internet speeds during the off-season.
I'm still struggling with traditional park-style charcoal grill versus gas grill. The ability to police and maintain/clean a gas grill to ensure that every guest has the same positive experience may be more than I can deliver. I'm all about under-promising and over-delivering. There are several companies that deliver a gas grill for the week, pick-it up, clean it, etc. That's always an optional add-on. For now I've stuck with the cemented park-style grill.
I can't wait for your return to NHH and to show off the other upgrades we made this year to our beach paradise on the Outer Banks. Thank you so much for your business! -Seth

Happy Teacher
This was my 6th stay at this vacation home, but the first under new ownership. The changes are phenomenal and one can tell that much thought and planning went into the upgrades. I have stayed with my family, with four dear gal-pals, and by myself. The view is breathtaking, the changes are so comfortable and thoughtful, and totally remodeled for the vacationer. As a sun lover, the pool is my favorite place. The location is not too far from activities, shopping, sights, and some of the best restaurants anywhere, yet close enough to civilization if you like the hustle and bustle of a beach community. The new furnishings make this summer vacation home very comfortable and so welcoming and truly "feels" like a beach home. I can't wait til Summer, 2016 to go back. It is my rite of summer. Congratulations and hats off to Seth Goldman for making his guests feel right at home!

Kim, We've never met...but you've nearly made me blush. Buying and upgrading this house was a true labor of love, and we've enjoyed every minute of it. A critical point, in my mind, is to be always improving. From year to year improvements must be made, and reinvestment in the home is key. Rest assured that I have every intention to continue making Nags Head Haven a place you want to return to season after season. Thank you again, Seth

It is as pretty as the picture!
The house was perfect as was everything else. It was very well maintained and clean. The decor was great. The views from the front and back decks were beautiful. The hot tub, game room and pool kept my family entertained when we spent time at the house. The walk to the beach was only 2 minutes unless you are like me and run to the beach then it is only 30 seconds!
The restaurants and shops were all very close by which made traveling easier. We spent a lot of time at Fish Heads pier which was in walking distance and enjoyed that during the day and night. They have good food and drinks for the young and old.
Seth was very kind and helpful during the booking process and during our stay. Joby was very kind and helpful and its wonderful that he lives next door!
There were 14 of us in the house and we had plenty of room and plenty to keep us entertained. I would definitely recommend this house to family or friends and if we decide to vacation in the outer banks I would rent this house again. I hated to leave it!!
Thanks Seth.

Debbie, I am very happy to hear that the house suited your family's needs so well. Thank you for writing such a glowing review, it is much appreciated. As the season comes to a close, I'll finally have an opportunity to spend time in the house next week...and will fill in for you at Fish Heads. ;-) Thank you very much for your business. -Seth
We fell in love with this property. Very clean, updated, perfect location, so many amenities, and communication with was amazing. We are hoping to do a vacation next summer and stay there.
