Fair Winds is located at a prime junction between South Nags Head and the Manteo causeway. Visitors can head west to Roanoke Island, north to the central Outer Banks, or south to Hatteras Island. World-class marinas are nearby as well as the Cape Hatteras National Seashore providing opportunities for viewing wildlife and tranquility. Other pleasures include the Outlet Shopping Mall and the Fresh Market just down the road. Entertainment? Miniature golf, bike rentals for cruising the bike path, and water sports are just minutes away as well. Did I mention the long list of excellent dining venues? Just steps across the beach road and you are picking your spot on the sandy shoreline. Jennette’s Pier is approximately a 5-minute walk down the street.

You may be bringing your own “catch” to prepare for dinner in the beautifully outfitted kitchen on the top level with dining space for 10. A picnic table provides seating for meals on the deck and screened-in porch as well. Comfortable furnishings surround the large-screen Roku TV with access to a continuous deck facing the ocean. Provided in an alcove off the main room is a work desk with HDMI computer monitor & keyboard. This cottage is equipped with high-speed WiFi internet for seamless streaming and browsing.

Great time!
We had a great time at Fairwinds! It was nice to be so close to the beach and the house was perfect for our group of friends. We took advantage of the deck in the mornings while drinking coffee and the pool table downstairs in the evenings. It was the perfect location to start our daily explorations of OBX...whether going north or south! I would encourage others to check out Manteo, as well. Thanks for sharing your home with us.

Fair Winds!
We had a wonderful time at this property. Having a pool and a hot tub in the backyard was amazing. And just across the street is the beach. The house was set up perfectly for our amount of people. It was just overall a great experience. We did leave a day early because of the high winds that were coming in, but other than that, we had a wonderful stay.
Kacie Ann H from Keedysville, MD - Guest's stay: 10/6/2025 - 10/11/2025

Perfect home for our family!
This home was absolutely perfect! Sparkling clean, well-maintained, and beautifully decorated. All bedrooms were nice size, with very comfortable beds. Kitchen was very well equipped for cooking our family meals. The pool was beautiful and relaxing. Outer Banks Blue was great to work with, easy check in and check out. We look forward to returning next year!

Well Maintained and Clean Home
After renting annually for several years this home was by far the best. We were 6 adults and two children under 5 yrs old. The adults loved the hot-tub and the grand kids loved the video game and the pool. The location is awesome for access to the beach / ocean and perfect for viewing both sunrises and sunsets. We plan to book this home again. The owners should be proud of their home. Thank You for your hospitality.
Eugene B from Monroe, NC - Guest's stay: 3/29/2024 - 4/4/2024
Eugene, Thank you for taking the time to provide us this 5-Star review. We appreciate you letting future guests know what is in store for them when they stay at "Fair Winds." Come back again soon!

Excellent!
We had a great stay at Fair Winds! Plenty of space for 9. Kids and adults all loved the pool area and the game room. Cleanliness was top notch and organization of items including labels in kitchen were an added bonus. Loved all the personal touches, too! We have already booked for next year!
