I loved my oceanfront view. I watched the sunrise every morning. Short walk to Jennette’s Pier. Great location close to Fresh Market grocery store and other restaurants. The staff was very accommodating.

Our “cottage” was a bit run down but certainly habitable. If it were mine, I’d gut it and do a complete remodel. It needed it. Beds were comfy. Location was good. Less than a minute walk to the beach which was accessible from the property. If you don’t need luxury, then you’ll be fine here, but if ...

My wife and I had planned to sneak away with our dogs in late January but Mother Nature decided to dump record snow on Nags Head that weekend.
