Location
Location is nice, right on the beach. However you do have public beach access and so people walking right by your windows. Also, the parking is really bad, lots of sand, so if you have a smaller car you will most likely get stuck. There wasn’t enough toilet paper, paper towels or trash bags and the air conditioning doesn’t work that well so it was hot sleeping.

Wonderful getaway!
You can’t beat the location and the cottage overall is adorable. We woke up every morning and sat on the deck that overlooked the ocean and were in heaven. There are several things that need to be updated / fixed (bunk bed guard rail was missing, rickety kitchen table, etc.) but otherwise, it was a great stay that we’d definitely recommend.

WOOOOOW!!!
We absolutely loved this place. It is the closest cottage to the water along the entire stretch of Nags Head. It was comfortable, clean, RIGHT on the water, and the hosts were awesome in helping us and answering a few questions. Would HIGHLY recommend this!
