    My family and I had a great vacation to OBX and staying at Summer Shanty was perfect. It was hard for us to find a place that didnt break the bank in June and ticked all the boxes. The easy access to the beach and the pool were great. We used, what looked like, a newer outdoor shower a lot. It made it easy to wash the kids once they were done swimming in the pool. The house was clean and smelled fresh when we walked in. All the appliances worked well and the AC kept us cool during the 90 degree days. Tracy was a great host and we already plan on coming back next year. Only suggestion we would have is maybe a few quality plastic cups and plates that we would feel more comfortable taking out to the pool deck. A tip for future renters, we used foil grill liners for the charcoal grill, the grating is rusty and I dont trust those wire bristle grill brushes.

    Our family vacationed at the Summer Shanty for a week in June. The location in South Nags Head was really nice and quiet. We loved having a short walk to the beach. The pool and hot tub were great amenities. Tracy’s home has everything that you need for a great vacation. We would love to stay here again in the future.

    Our family needed to unplug, unwind and spend quality time together. The Summer Shanty delivered and met all of our expectations. This fantastic beach house is as advertised and more. We cannot wait to come back.

    We were very impressed with our stay at the house. It was immaculate and Tracy was an excellent host. The beach was so quiet with plenty of room to spread out. The backyard and decks are equipped with plenty of seating for a large group. Everything was as described or better in person!

    This house is SO cute! Great lay out, great views, and the beach is right there! Pool is perfect for kids during beach breaks. So much to do and see, we never even stepped foot in the living room! Planning OBX is a bit overwhelming because many different location options. So happy we chose South Nags Head, it was perfect. Just a quite little beach neighborhood, just close enough to everything, without all the noise and congestion. The light houses are so cool- we climbed Bodie. We did the Wright bros monument. And we drove all the way down the Hatteras National Seashore, stopping along the way. Our favorite was Pea Island. So much so we went back another day. It is truly unbelievable. Like a deserted island of gorgeous rolling hills of sand and waves. My kids could not get enough and are still talking about it.

    The Summer Shanty is so cozy and comfortable! It was very clean upon our arrival and my whole family enjoyed the house and closeness to the beach immensely! Tracy was incredibly kind, accomodating, and communicative. Even though it was unseasonably chilly for our stay, we loved every second. We plan to book again next year!!!
