Semi-Oceanfront Nags Head in-between two beach accesses. Quick walk to the ocean

Mom was bored and decide to make her own Beach Retreat. This lovely two bedroom, one bath, is located on the beach road in Nags Head at mile post 16. There are two beach access close enough you don' t need to drive. By close they are 50 yards on each side. The one to the north does have an out door shower and foot wash, but there is also a water hose on the north side of the house. If is blowing be sure to wash off your car. There is a spacious front porch to enjoy your coffee and catch a glimpse of the ocean and a back deck for a cocktail and a sunset you won't forget.
A quick note about this property.

This property is a duplex and the other side the Southwester, # 1067106 is also in the Vrbo program along with another property two lots away # 1149486.

The duplexes insulation is of the highest quality making sound from one side to the other or sound from outside to inside not an issue. Please read the reviews.

We have had more fun checking guests in personally and telling them about our Outer Banks than you know and can't wait for future guests to come enjoy any one of our places. Mom made them super cute and beach themed. If you wanted to go on vacation with some other families but like your space also, we have the spot for you and our family restaurant , the Dunes is right behind you for breakfast, dinner, carry out and a full bar with no driving required. Our places are safe and secure with storage for beach gear.

In the event of a hurricane or threat of one and you need to cancel. Not a problem! We give a full refund. We do not wish to profit from a storm and we will hope you can rebook at a future date and pick us and Nags Head year after year.
These places would be great for wedding parties and the others that come.

Want to bring your boat? Not a problem. We have plenty of room to put even the biggest of trailer-able boats.

There is lots to do. A 1000 foot pier, Jennette's, operated by the North Carolina Aquarium, is half a mile away for fishing and just to walk. Putt putt, go carts, and jet skis are across the street on the sound side, along with a public access. There are 10 restaurants within 3 miles. Fishing charters are available within a short drive down to Pirates Cove Marina. Nags Head Golf Links is 1 mile away with links style golf at its finest. Need someone to play with? Just let me know! They also gave me some discount cards. Hatteras ferry dock is an hour a way to the island of Ocracoke. My Family owns and operates the Dunes Restaurant for the past 34 years. We love the area and know you will have a great time staying here with us in Nags Head.
On Roanoke Island you will find a bunch of stuff to do. One is the North Carolina Aquarium. Its one of several in the NC system and also hooked to Jennetts Pier. Its a good go to for the whole family, I like to take a date there to kill some time on a cloudy day. Lots of animals and fish and even a jelly fish viewing. For the price its worth is. There is also the Lost Colony play that recreates the first English settlement in 1587 and what they think happened. It only plays in summer though. Most of the actors are college students in preforming arts. It has true story behind it, Indians and gun fights, Singing and Dancing, and great costumes. Its 20 for any seat and 25 or 30 and you get to go back stage.
In downtown Manteo there are shops from fine art to beach stuff, 4 restaurants, one with a brewery, a distillery, a child play ground, a replica of a light house, my grandad was stationed on the real one, a historic boat building shop, some charter boats for hire, a pirate ship, and the oldest family run movie theater, that is only 7 per person and they have great popcorn.

A little mix up with property address and location. Owner has multiple properties and sent us to wrong address and we then had to move after we had already unpacked. Owner did help us move. But after the initial aggravation everything else went well. Location is really good.

Very nice

The room was very clean, comfortable and close to the beach. It also had all of the amenities needed. The outside of the place was in need of a paint job or new garage door as they were all rusted and really shoddy looking. And the bedroom had a really musty body odor type smell which was probably not the fault of the owner. But distracting nonetheless. Other than that everything was very nice.

Cute Sufficient Condo in Outer Banks

Good location, cute, clean place to stay not far from the beach. Its across the street & a fairly short walk to the beach. A nice location in that its pretty central on the long outer banks island! All necessities were there--we even cooked a few meals in the condo. No groceries or seasonings (besides salt & pepper) available there so be prepared for that. Nice linens & towels were provided & some TP & paper towels to start our week. The beds seemed firm. We did end up buying a good beach chair & the laundry, as mentioned in the description, is coin laundry. Patrick is very accomodating & friendly and The Dunes restaurant across the parking lot is not to be missed. We went there 3 times during our stay & wish we could go back! Coastal Creamery-super close-is, in our opinion, the gem on the island for ice cream! Austins Fish Co. we thoroughly enjoyed for fresh tuna steaks & scallops. Enjoy!:)

June vacation

We were able to spend 4 nights in nor’easter. My family of 4 really enjoyed our stay. It was the perfect size. Patrick was readily available for any questions or needs. Check in was very smooth. Beach access was really close, plenty of parking spaces and a deck in the front and the back of the house. We were able to watch the sunrise and sunset. We didn’t use the kitchen but it looked like it was stocked with plenty of cookware.

Wonderful place - we’ll be back!

This is a gem of a condo. It’s clean, nicely decorated, in a great location at the southern end of Nag’s Head a super easy walk to the beach, and Patrick is a great host. My family stayed in this unit, and relatives in the adjoining unit at the same time - what a wonderful way to stay close together without all crowding in somewhere. We’ll definitely be back. Make sure you try the Dunes restaurant that the owner’s family runs. It was a wonderful surprise with delicious food and even some live entertainment
