RULES + OWNERS NOTES
* Parking is limited to five vehicles, which is tight. No yard or street parking possible at our location. Our septic system is in our side yard - please do not drive or park in the yard. This will damage our fragile system.
* We live locally just a few minutes away from our rental property. This property is not suitable for parties, events or illegal activities. We are excited to share our beach house, which we reserve in the off-season for our family members. Our neighborhood consists of full-time residents (like us), second home owners and a small number of rental properties. WE INSIST THAT ALL RENTERS respect our neighbors at the property and the noise ordinance in our town to reduce outdoor noise after 10:00 pm at night.
* Pets! We are big dog people. However, dogs should not be left barking in the house all-day causing a disturbance to neighbors. Please plan for your pet on these hot summer days! Most importantly, all pets should be flea and tick free prior to arrival and on flea and tick preventative. If the property requires pest treatment, the guest will be penalized. There is no fence in the yard. Please be respectful of the neighbors when taking dogs in the yard. The neighbors do not want dogs in their yard and monitor their property. They contact us directly with issues.
* No dogs are allowed in the pool. Even a hypoallergenic, poodle-doodle dog that has dander is equivalent to 20 people using the pool and our pump system according to our pool company. Our pool vendor does inform us when animals have been in the pool, which will result in additional costs to you and the guests.
* Lastly, Pool + Hot Tub + Water Safety is our top priority. Never prob open the pool gate. PLEASE inform us of any safety issues or concerns immediately so that we can have them addressed. We have a vendor that maintains the pool and hot tub on the weekly basis to ensure cleanliness for all guests.

We had a wonderful stay! Host was great from booking through check out ensuring everything was smooth. House was the cleanest house we have stayed at. Property was in a great location for our family for beach, restaurants (ice cream), and park for kids. Would surely look to book again on our next Nags Head trip.
Our family of 10 had an amazing time staying at the Grand Dowdy. The location is simply perfect with an easy walk to the beach, as well as close proximity for jet skiing, ice cream outings, the dunes, and shopping. Natalie is an exceptional host who is very kind and personable. The house is well equipped for homemade family meals with enough seating for everyone. We highly recommend staying here if you are looking for a safe neighborhood near the beach in a very clean, spacious house!
This is a wonderful place to stay. My family of 10 had a great time staying here. It is clean, updated and comfortable. It is a short distance from the beach, so it’s a good value. There are a lot of nice touches like bicycles and beach equipment. The owners are sweet and accommodating. Highly recommended!
Very nice house in a convenient location.
Absolutely loved our time staying at this spot in Nag's Head! Highly recommend for any good sized group looking for a home base in the area. The walk to the public beach access was easy and the pool was perfect to end up in after a hot day.
Our family had the best week staying at the Grand Dowdy. Everything in the house was very organized and clean. The owners were very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. It was the perfect beach house and we would definitely come back next year!
We enjoyed our week relaxing at this beautiful home. Walking distance to the beach and park. The kids loved being in a cul de sac for bike riding. House was super clean, organized and a great set up for two families. Natalie was very responsive.
