This is the third year in a row that we have stayed here. Lots of space for everyone to spread out and three showers to choose from when you come in from the beach. The house is at the end of the road so it is very private. It’s a quick walk to the beach and it was never too crowded at our access point. There are piers 1 mile to the north and south. The location is close to everything but still manages to feel remote.

Really liked the location and house layout. Well equipped kitchen, except no dishwasher, which was not a problem for us.

Cozy Beach Cottage

Plenty of space for friends and family to unwind. Great location tucked away in the middle of the OBX making it convenient to get everywhere we wanted to see and easily accessible for a break in the day. Would definitely book this cottage again. Absolutely loved it!

Very comfortable home. Didn’t appear that the home was cleaned well when we checked in. One of the shower head and handles were broken. Had to tighten the other one to keep water from spraying all over the walls.

Perfect spot

We enjoyed our stay, we loved the location & short walk to the beach. We would love to stay here again. Bathroom door was broken but wasn't a huge deal, also the heat/air was funky to adjust but we made it and overall had a beautiful time.

Nags head stay!

We came to stay for April vacation! It was my 8 year old son, myself and my boyfriend. The property was beautiful! We grilled on the porch and walked to the beach everyday! We loved the mini golf near by and the beach the best. I highly recommend staying at the property and we would love to come back!

Perfect moms and sons trip

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It’s nice to be away from the main area and it’s a short drive to anything you might need. The house was an easy walk to the beach - we felt safe at night walking around as well. The house layout was great for us to be upstairs and give the teenagers some space. Loved the kitchen table with built in lazy Susan. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need to cook plenty of meals at the house. We loved it!
