This is a nice little spot in Nags Head. We had to cut our trip short and wereonly there for one night but it is as advertised. Clean and cozy. Front porch and back porch with shade to enjoy your coffee.

This home was very comfortable and clean and, although in a neighborhood, felt private. A quiet and convenient place to stay for a few days. The kitchen was well stocked. The front and back porch were nice areas to relax on. We would stay there again next time in that area. Also, the host was very accommodating when we had to adjust our dates at the last minute.

Great, clean property! Meg knows what she is doing with her helpful signs throughout the first floor for what to clean at check-out. Well done with seating on the back porch perfect for coffee, plenty of ceiling fans, and lots of lighting. Kitchen was well stocked too. My only recommendation is if you are cold-natured, bring slippers/socks for the tile floors! We had a great long weekend and would highly recommend this property in Nags Head. Close to all the good spots. We can't wait to go back! Thanks!

This is a beautiful property with lots of amenities. The bed was very comfortable. Check-in was easy. It is well located and about 1/2 mile from the beach. It was spacious for two people. The internet worked well. There was a full size washer and dryer. There were lovely front and back porches. Parking was easy. The kitchen was great, although supplies were limited (e.g., 4 mugs, 4 short glasses, 4 tall glasses, etc). I did not appreciate needing to remove the bedding to put it and the towels in the washer given the price of the rental, but that's a small detail.

OBX Getaway

The property was nice and clean and the bed was super comfortable. It is close enough to the beaches to easily drive there in a couple of minutes and far enough away to avoid the inflated cost of rentals on the beach.
