We enjoyed everything about this lovely property. Amanda is such a kind host, the location is great, our kids loved playing there, and we had a blast. We especially enjoyed walking to Galaxy Golf and playing their two mini golf courses. Thanks so much!!

We didn’t want to leave

The home was exactly as pictured, clean, cozy and beautifully decorated. My family had a wonderful spring break. The location was convenient, 5 min walk to the beach, less than 10 minutes to the coffee shop, ice cream and restaurants. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking family meals. Loved little details like white noise machines in every bedroom and children’s books to read to my kid every night. We also really enjoyed having access to the bikes to ride around the neighborhood, especially to the park nearby. We’d absolutely stay again!

Lovely stay

We could tell this home was cared for and loved. Amanda and Adam were responsive and so helpful. The house was so clean and just the right amount of space for our family. We particularly loved the screened porch and walking to The Spot for ice cream and coffee. Highly recommend!

Nice place for an OBX getaway

Had a great visit in Nags head at this property! It was our first time in OBX and the location was perfect for us to head north one day and south the next to explore most of the islands.The park nearby was very nice. Lots of activities to do there (basketball, pickleball, horseshoes, etc).Some great food/ice cream within walking distance. Including the beach.House was very clean and had everything we needed. Well thought out in covering all the amenities.Host was an excellent communicator and always available should we need anything. Gave some great recommendations of restaurants and places to see. Would definitely stay again!

Definite Keeper - We'll look for on our next trip!

Definitely 5 Stars: We stayed at this lovely Nags Head home December 21-24 to kick off winter break from public school teaching in western NC; three of us plus our dog. We liked this house very much and were fortunate to have sunny, warm weather. We found the home to be accurately described in the VRBO ad, comfortable and very clean. The interior decor is impressive with good floor plan. For us the location was very convenient. Everything in the home functioned well, was thoughtfully decorated and well-provisioned for our needs. There was parking space for 2-3 vehicles. Our dog also travels with us. There was outdoor space on the lot and the quiet neighborhood was pleasant for his walks. Just blocks off the beachfront, we also enjoyed pleasant walks to the beach. A few shops were close-by. We drove to buy groceries. Terrific host! Communication with the host was easy. Access and host instructions were clear and readily available. Local area recommendations (restaurants, other) were very helpful! Overall our experience was a wonderful first visit to OBX, meeting all needs. We enjoyed our stay and liked the house very much and will definitely consider this home again whenever our travels bring us back to the area! A happy, comfortable visit! Thank you!

Five star rating in every category! Amanda is easy to communicate with; the accommodations are very clean and welcoming; the location is perfectly situated within a few minutes walk to the beach and beautiful park. Also, all of Amanda’s recommendations for area eateries/attractions are spot on! We very much enjoyed our stay at this well stocked and appointed home. Our dog gives it 5 stars too.

Wonderful stay in Nags Head

Amanda was incredible, reaching out before and during our stay to ensure that we had everything we needed. The house was incredibly clean and had a ton of amenities for families. The location was great - within a short driving distance to restaurants/activities and about a 5 minute walk to the beach.

Perfect house in a perfect location.

This was the perfect house for our family of five, outfitted for a week of beach time. It was HOT a few of the days while we were here, but the AC kept us cool. We cooked most of our meals in, and the kitchen was well-equipped. The street is a dead end, so it’s quiet, which is really nice. I was able to walk to Food Lion for little grocery purchases, and the beach wagon was a godsend for the short walks to the beach. There is also a farmers’ market on Thursday mornings about a block away. All in all, the owners are responsive, and it was a great vacation rental experience.

Perfect family beach getaway

The house was sparkling clean, plenty of space to spread out, and met all of our needs. Loved that the property was shaded and we enjoyed dinners out on the deck. The location is great, close to the beach and lots of options for biking and walking. Amanda was a fantastic host and wonderful to work with. Can't wait to plan a return visit.
