Partial week stays for SUMMER 2026 still available!

Walking distance to beach

Was decent and pretty good location

My intention is simply to provide an honest account of our experience so future guests can make an informed decision. We enjoyed our time in Nags Head because it is a beautiful destination, but the rental itself did not enhance that experience. Issues were: clogged toilet (plungers were old and inadequate and toilet unusable for the week, no follow up after host was informed to offer a solution), 2nd shower and sink would drain very extremely slow, no linens (hidden in the listing), no basic toiletries like hand soap or dish soap, spare TP, hand or bath towels, walls peeling in bathroom with appearance of mold. Listing pictures embellished the actual quality of property. home hasn't had TLC or updates in 20 years, musty washer/dryer. Check out tells you to leave behind things you paid for for next guests. Would not recommend it to friends or family. Price does not match value.We hope these issues are addressed for future guests. With better maintenance and attention to the guest experience, this property has the potential to better reflect both its location and its price. Unfortunately, based on our stay, we cannot recommend it.I also recognize that this is someone's personal home rather than a professionally managed vacation rental. That comes with both pros and cons. Owners naturally have a personal attachment to the home and can skew the reality of the value. I believe there will be a rebuttal refuting this review but as the customer, this property fell short.

Superb location and fit out large family with 5 kids well. Would go again!

Location was perfect just a short walk to the beach . We enjoyed are stay . Highly recommend.

Great

Such a comfortable cottage! Got great night sleeps with plenty of room for everyone to spread out & watch movies together. Perfect location!!! Easy to walk to beach, grocery stores, and places to eat.

We enjoyed very much our stay. It is a great location, close to beach access and within easy walking distance to great restaurants and ice cream shops. The beds are comfortable, and the open floorplan was ideal for our family of five. That said, there are some very easy lifts the hosts could do to make it a 5-star stay. I didn't notice in advance that sheets and towels are not provided, but I strongly encourage the hosts to reconsider this practice. Bringing five sets of bed sheets, beach towels, and bath towels takes up considerable trunk space. Making beds, stripping beds, washing and folding sheets and towels is exactly the type of work we're all trying to avoid when we go on vacation. Next, the hosts require guests to provide paper towels and toilet paper for the next guests, saying they hate for renters to arrive and have none of these necessities, but don't provide them themselves. Why not? The total cost is over $500 a night, but doesn't include toilet paper? Related, while dish machine soap is provided, sponges and dish soap for washing pots, pans, sheet trays, etc. is not, so we had to go buy those items as well. Also no kitchen towels or hot pads. Providing these amenities and services would go a long way. As a restaurant owner, I sympathize with the difficulty in finding help (to wash sheets and make beds). That said, I'm also a fellow hospitality professional, and these amenities are, in my opinion, the bare minimum required in a hotel or short-term rental.

This rental was in a great location and the host was very kind, responsive, polite and willing to assist as much as could be. Having said that, we did not feel the description was 100% accurate. The home has a lot of potential but does need a bit of TLC. There was a good amount of dust in places that were overlooked ( the host offered to send a cleaning person immediately)We had trouble with the TVs connecting ( an issue that never was able to be resolved even with multiple attempts) I believe that with a bit of upgrading and TLC this home would be amazing.

Awesome week. Older home but well maintained. Very short walk to beach access. Use of there beach cart was a great benefit. Easy to communicate with the owners. Would definitely stay again.

Very good location! Right in midst of everything.
