Here are a few kind words from our past guests:

5-stars The place was so delightful in many ways. Clean, pleasant space. The kitchen living room area was a nice place for everyone to gather. Pool, hot tub, decks and a two minute walk to the beach made life fun and easy. Having lots of bath rooms was very helpful with a lot of people in a large space. A great find. -Maxwell

5-stars This house was absolutely perfect. It was less than a five minute walk to the beach (very near public beach access). Our dogs loved the big fenced in back yard. The pool and hot tub were very clean. The house has multiple very nice decks. Inside, it was clean, comfortable and well furnished. There was plenty of room for our family of 8. The kitchen was well stocked with cookware and service ware. Lastly, and most importantly, Nadina was very responsive, friendly and provided clear instructions for our stay. We’ll definitely be planning a trip back next year.- Tina

5-stars Great house for a big group or family. Clean house and super close to the beach. It was nice each floor had its own sitting area is everyone had their own space. We had two toddlers and the baby gates, two pack and plays, and baby toys were amazing!- Tollie

Getting around the Outer Banks is easiest by car. Our home in Nags Head is conveniently located with quick access to the main road (NC-12 / Virginia Dare Trail), making it easy to explore nearby towns like Kill Devil Hills, Kitty Hawk, and beyond.

Ride-share services like Uber and Lyft are limited in the Outer Banks, especially during off-peak times, so we recommend having your own vehicle for the most flexibility.

For longer trips, the closest major airport is in Norfolk, VA (about a 2-hour drive).

Enjoy peace of mind with our enhanced cleaning protocols. All linens are professionally cleaned between each stay to ensure your comfort.

    We had another great vacation staying at Sea-Esta. There were many new upgrades this year including new bedroom furniture. Everything seemed so clean and sanitized when we arrived. The location and amenities are great, especially the outdoor area and larger fenced yard!

    We had a great week at SEA-esta for the third year in a row. The house has everything you need and more. Our favorite parts of this house are the tiki bar by the pool and the short, flat walk to the beach. The hosts are very responsive and accommodating. We hope to return next year!

    My family has stayed at Sea-esta for 5 years now and would definitely recommend to others. The house has a great layout and we love the fenced-in yard, pool, and tiki bar. It’s just a short walk to the beach and a close drive to stores and restaurants.

    Stayed 4 nights for Thanksgiving fun with friends and family. House layout was great, plenty of seating inside and out. Yard was well used by all our grandkids 2 years- 15. Too cold this week to utilize tiki hut area and pool was not in use. Can imagine we would spend a lot of time in that space during a summer rental.

    We were very pleased with the location and the pool for the kids. The yard was huge for the dogs to run around in and great location for walking the dogs. It is conveniently located to shops and restaurants.

    My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sea-Esta for the second time. Compared to other similar properties nearby this house has great parking for multiple vehicles, a short and flat walk to the beach, many bathrooms, extra refrigerator space, and a great yard for dogs. The house was very clean and the host was very responsive. We especially enjoyed the tiki bar by the pool and being able to walk to a local restaurant. We will definitely return!

    We would stay at this property again. It was a very short walk to the beach. The outside area is spacious. We liked having a covered area to keep our beach bags and bikes. The pool is great with ample outdoor furniture. The tiki bar was fun and the bathroom attached to it prevented us from coming inside with wet suits. The bedrooms are spacious and bathrooms were all really nice. The layout worked well for our three families. The kitchen was well appointed. We sat out on the decks and loved having a mini fridge on the bottom and middle levels. We had a minor faucet issue and the host was extremely responsive. The AC kept up with the very warm temperatures. The house was as pictured.
