We have been coming to the OBX since 2016 with our family and I will have to say this house was our favorite. It was by far the cleanest we have ever arrived to and it was the best updated and functioning house that was stocked with almost everything that you would need to stay here. The location of the house was great. I would highly recommend staying at this house if it is the right fit for your family. Thank you for the great accommodations.

House is good but service is not

House looks good, but bathroom was clogging, host did not reply. plunger was not available/ Host was not even considerable to give us some spare time as one bathroom was clogged and cannot use. No one gave us a cent discount also inspite of the inconvenicence we had. We booked this property only becuase of 2 bathrooms, but it was a waste as one bathroom was totally inoperable. I am not happy with host. The host is not considerable to the guests, inspite of saying about the inconvenice. Horrible customer service.

Albatross Cottage

Newly remodeled cottage in a quiet and clean neighborhood. The beach walk is close, however, no sidewalks. The house was furnished as described except the clothes dryer did not work. The owner was not able to swap out the dryer and made due with a drying rack. street

The house was in a great location. Walking distance to a brewery and several very good restaurants. Short walk to the beach. Enjoyed the porch with a constant breeze. We did not use the hot tub or cook in at all but the kitchen was fully stocked. There were several beach chairs to use but we brought our own.

We would stay again. Excellent location. It was nearby all sorts of dining and activities. Beach was so close too. House was clean and renovated. Very comfortable place. Only issue was I missed reading the very clear rental agreement - bring/ rent or buy your own bed linens, towels and paper products. HomeGoods was close by to solve this.

First time in Nags Head

Family of four, first time in Nagshead and the Outer Banks in general. House was clean, well-kept and in very good condition. Just the right size for a family of four relatively close to the beach and everything around. Great first impression, will definitely return!

Gem of Nags Head

Location was great! Short walk to the beach. House was clean and decorated beautifully! Only thing the living room has 2 outside /inside chairs that weren’t all that comfortable. Loveseat would have been perfect! We had 5 in our party. 3 adults and 2 children. Also, there was only a TV in one of the 3 bedrooms. Having TVs in each room would have been nice. The hot tub was great but there wasn’t a “true” filter. I think the one they had wasn't the right size but there was testing strips and chemicals to add if u needed to. The location was close to the Food Lion and all the things Nags Head has to offer. Loved our stay in this gem! We would book again.

We loved our stay - the property was immaculately clean, beautifully decorated, and we appreciated the extra amenities for the beach. Hot tub was a bonus also! Location is great - walkable to the beach but we were able to find parking at the public access everyday. Quiet neighborhood is perfect for families.
