"House was clean, plenty of room, bedrooms were adequate and comfortable! House overall was in a great location to any where you wanted to go in Nags Head! My only suggestion is the sand needs to be removed from driveway and parking area more often than not! We were constantly sweeping the floors from the sand we were bringing in on our feet just stepping out with the dogs! Otherwise this house was a great find on the beach!"
