Surfer's Watch: Oceanfront | Enclosed Dog Run
Make Surfer's Watch the home away from home that your family will want to return to every year. This classic oceanfront retreat in Nags Head offers exceptional views and convenient access to the beach using the adjacent Blackman Street walkway. Spend the day surfing, swimming, or shelling - when the beach is your backyard, the possibilities are endless! Surfer's Watch welcomes pets, so bring your fur babies along to play by your side on the dog-friendly beaches of Nags Head. You'll both love the convenience of having an enclosed dog run on the ground level.
Two levels of east-facing covered decks provide plenty of outdoor space for watching the sunrise and listening to the crashing waves. Inside, kick back and relax in the comfortably furnished great room, where a wall of east-facing windows showcases the stunning view of the sparkling Atlantic. The open-concept layout is perfect for spending quality time together, even while preparing meals in the well-equipped kitchen. The primary ensuite bedroom is also located on the top level and includes access to a private sun deck. Downstairs, you'll find four additional bedrooms, including a second queen ensuite. The ground level features a fish cleaning station where you can prepare the catch of the day before firing up the grill.
Centrally located at Milepost 10 in the sought-after Gallery Row district of Nags Head, Surfer's Watch is within walking and biking distance to a variety of shopping, dining and activities. Tortuga's Lie is just a five-minute walk from the house and is a local's favorite for lunch, dinner, and nightlife. Other nearby restaurants include Lucky 12 Tavern and Red Drum Grill. Be sure to check out Dowdy Park for seasonal farmers markets, yoga, movies and live music events. Kids will love the unique playground and open, grassy field.

Other than the weather not being in our favor, the place was great for us being in the house all together. The location was great as we could walk to the
We really enjoyed our week stay at Surfers Watch. The house was very clean considering it is a pet friendly home. The view from kitchen and living area as well as main deck are spectacular. The property was convenient to beach access ( literally right next to house) the dog run area is a convenient safe place to let them play and do their business. The kitchen was stocked well with dishes and items to prepare a meal ( no spices). There are multiple decks some rooms have access to lower deck as well as a private deck off of master. So if someone wants quiet time to read and relax alone there is areas to do that. We walked to dinner twice as well as ice cream. Could walk or bike (if you bring yours) to Food Lion. We gave the property a 10 out of 10. Only inconvenience: There were few chairs on deck that were broken. But we still able to sit out there and enjoy fabulous view.

View and location were spectacular. Property is nice but starting to show some wear and tear. Kitchen cabinet door loose, also had some roaches in cabinets and middle floor. Light and one lamp in large queen bedroom on middle floor not working. Kitchen could use more than one frying pan.
