'Pilot House', Ocean Views, Ez Access to Beach, Pool & Hot Tub

' PILOT HOUSE
Location, Location, Location. Close to the beach and accesses (1 block) with views of the Ocean from the living area and screened dining area and deck. Free sunrises every day. All the benefits of semi-oceanfront without the traffic. Arrive, park, and enjoy. Food Lion, 24 hr Harris Teeter, coffee shops, restaurants, surf shops, galleries, and fishing pier are all within 1/2 mile.
Pool gets the sun all afternoon. Upper deck is shaded in the late afternoon. This stretch of beach has a natural shore break that is great for surfing, boogie boarding and body surfing.

Family groups only; no college or high school groups, minimum age for renting is 25. Parents must be on site if on the Rental Agreement.

Newer reverse floor plan design.

Top level has a king bed, full bathroom, living area, dining area, kitchen, hard wood floors, screened in dining area, and deck area.

Middle level has a Queen Master bedroom with private bathroom with Jacuzzi tub, additional queen bedroom with shared full bathroom, a 3rd bedroom with a twin over full bunkbed, outside entrance, and large deck area with Hot Tub.

First level has an entrance through the carport area. There is a game room area with two twin beds, TV, and 6 ft. Pool Table. There is a full-size laundry room with W/D, half bath, and a 2nd full size Refrigerator/Freezer. Outside there is the gated Pool area, enclosed outside shower, basketball goal, and fish cleaning table.

My kitchen may not have granite counter tops, but it is very well equipped. Some folks don't care to go out to dinner every night, so there is a great set of top of the line pots and baking pans to accommodate your crowd for cooking in. In addition, there is a crock pot, electric griddle, hand mixer, steamer pot, and a heavy-duty blender. There is a Weber Genesis gas grill in the carport area for grilling out.

All bedrooms, Game Room, and Top Floor Living Area have a Smart TV and a Blu-Ray DVD Player

Bath towels and Linens provided with beds made,

Floor plan allows a for lot of activity without everyone tripping over each other. When my kids bring guests the pool, game room, and hot tub tend to keep them downstairs while my friends and I can enjoy some quieter time on the upper level.

No better place to enjoy a morning cup of coffee or an afternoon cocktail than the upper deck.

Beach cart, 8 Tommy Bahama style beach chairs, beach umbrellas, and 4 beach towels provided.

We do allow pets on a limited basis. No cats or puppies. Well trained dogs only. Pet fee is per dog. Limit of two dogs. Occasional exceptions with permission.
Smoking is allowed outside only, and these rules have kept the house pet and smoke odor free.

I do not book more than a year in advance. I block the following summer so I can offer this years' renters first refusal on next year. Please check back in December for open dates.

Please note I also require a separate Rental Agreement between you and me, as VRBO only provides me a name, phone number and an email address. The Agreement just provides me a little more information, and assurance that you have are aware of the limitations I have mentioned in the listing. This is my second home you are renting, and I work hard to provide you a great getaway.

If you have to cancel, I will try to work with you as described in my Rental Agreement. If I can rent the week again, I will refund you per the Rental Agreement.

I am also available to answer any questions that come up during your stay if you are not familiar with Nags Head. I want you to have a great vacation!

Absolutely amazing! This was my first trip to OBX in many years and was overwhelmed when looking for places to stay. The Pilot House turned out to be perfect! Than was a wonderful host, he contacted me prior to our trip to go over everything possible. He checked in during our week's stay and even provided lists of fun things to do and places to eat. The house is in a prime location, with views of the ocean. The setup inside is great, plenty of space for our family of 7. A huge bonus is that he provided bed sheets, bath towels, and all kitchen items. He also included a wagon, beach chairs, umbrellas, toys for us to use on the beach. It was incredibly helpful to not have to pack the car and bring all of these things with us. We enjoyed the pool, hot tub, and basketball net. There were so many things within walking distance too. Ice cream, shopping, mini golf, playground, and a coffee shop. Overall, this was a perfect week's vacation, and we were spoiled by all the things The Pilot House offered. I will definitely return!

Perfect family beach week

We stayed at Pilot House with extended family, and everyone had a wonderful time! The house is beautiful and full of light- even better than in the photos. Location is amazing- easy walk to the beach, restaurants and an ice cream shop. Everything else we needed was a quick drive. The owner was very friendly and accessible, and addressed all of our questions quickly. The house had everything we needed for a week with teens and adults and is very well equipped for families with younger children too!

Excellent location, close to Tortugas, shopping and short walk to beach access. Chairs and beach cart provided. Great utensils and cookware, pool and hot tub were great.

Cute house but a little dated

Cute house but could use a few upgrades. The carpet is old and smells but the home design, pool and location to the beach were perfect. Owner is super friendly and would stay again.

Lovely stay at the pilot house

The house was a perfect set up for our family. We had three couples and three kids under 4 years old. We enjoyed the short walk to the beach, and lots of time in the pool! The house is conveniently located to grocery stores and coffee shops! We felt welcomed, at home, and very comfortable! The sunsets and sunrises at oxb are beautiful. Can’t wait to go back!

Than was a wonderful host that was helpful and kind. The pilot house was clean and felt like a home away from home. It was stocked with all the amenities we needed not only for daily living but for beach and pool fun too. The location was perfect. We were in walking distance to the beach and also close to a beach access where we could park a car for older family members. This was our first time staying in a vrbo house and it was one we would definitely do again.

Perfect Beach Stay!

We had a fabulous week at Than’s lovely home. The house was perfect for our group with plenty of room for us to spread out and not feel like we were on top of each other. Perfect location one block off the beach and within a short walk of stores and restaurants. Than was incredible to work with and available to answer all questions. Would absolutely rent again!

Than was super accommodating and very helpful. The house was fully stocked with everything you could imagine! There was even a game room in the basement with tons of toys for the kids. Perfect for families or larger groups. The house was very clean and we enjoyed having coffee on the top deck off the kitchen. Very short walk to the beach across the street and overall just the perfect location. There was a also a playground/park about a half mile walk. Will definitely stay again!

More than we could ever expect

Photos and words do not prepare you for the quiet street yet short walk to the beach, grocery, putt putt, farmer’s market, ice cream, to name a few. Bullfrogs croaking at night, the amazing sea breeze, the convenience of a hot and cold enclosed outdoor shower, thereby keeping sand outdoors, the convenience of a water hose to squirt beach chairs off, children’s laughter and shrieks in the private pool, 3 porches to enjoy the night sky, the sound of the ocean. The house in itself is wonderful and the owner amazingly available. I don’t know how any other place or location will ever measure up to The Pilot House.
