Great Location
Great location in Nags Head. We stayed over New Year’s and being right on the beach for daily sunrise walks was very nice. There wasn’t much beach traffic this time of year so the dog got to run around as much as he wanted. The home layout is perfect for multiple families. We were traveling with 5 kids and let the older ones stay in the Then side which is a separate cabin off the main house. The kids loved having their own space away from the grownups. Lots of exterior spaces to sit and enjoy the view. Plenty of food options nearby even in the off season. No maintenance concerns while we were there.

Orianna, Thank you for your comments. We are glad everyone enjoyed their stay (including the dogs who enjoyed the uncrowded beach). It is nice to hear you liked the property enough to come back again, and we hope you do so very soon.

Wonderful vacation house

This house is perfect for a family vacation, lots of room for everyone to gather and privacy if you choose. The only problem we had was figuring out the TV's and the remotes. It would be helpful if the owner left directions for each system and left only the remotes needed to operate them..

Nadene W from Durand - Guest's stay: 4/15/2023 - 4/22/2023

Thanks for letting us know about the difficulty with the remotes.  We contacted the property owner regarding this and we will get this rectified for future guests.  We look forward to seeing you again soon!

Nice house for larger families

We booked this house for three reasons: elevator, oceanfront, and the pool. It was a decent house. A couple times the breakers blew and had to be reset and the hvac on the 3rd floor didn't seem to work well. The Kitchen is on the small side. The game room was really nice but the chairs were all broken and a couple times someone could have really gotten hurt so they need to be replaced. It needs to have a full size fridge down there too, but the ice machine came in handy though! No one came to clean or put chemicals in the pool but a quick text and they sent someone over. The second house is great but those bedrooms are small. The extra living area was great for our multi-family vacation, and it had ample parking. I would absolutely book this house again.
