Very comfortable home. Didn’t appear that the home was cleaned well when we checked in. One of the shower head and handles were broken. Had to tighten the other one to keep water from spraying all over the walls.

Awesome Location

Finding a quiet rental on Bodie Island that's still close to the restaurants and activities in Nags Head and KDH can be a real challenge, but this property threads the needle! Space is perfectly suited for a family of 3-5, and the well stocked kitchen was particularly appreciated. Back deck is nice and private feeling which is tough to manage in this area. Hope to stay here again on a future trip!

Disappointing

The house shows many signs of wear and tear and needs a deep cleaning. Holes in vinyl floors, many carpet stains, throw pillow and blanket stains, hole in wall, dirty kitchen windows, torn screens, bathroom mold on shower curtains and toilet cleaning utensils, dog poo in yard, cockroach bug in bathroom, outside furniture and grill too rusty to use. Owner was receptive and thankful to my comments but nothing done during our stay.Gorgeous sunsets, central location, sufficient dinnerware and linens.

Disappointing stay

We were greatly excited to take a family vacation with our four kids to the OBX; however, we were greatly let down by the condition of the home and the lack of the owner’s willingness to compensate us with a partial refund when the home was not ready to be rented out in the first place. For instance, we noticed a food stain on the kitchen counter, a hair lying on a clean towel, a strong bad odor in the upper room (which had fans running in it as though someone was attempting to air it out), horrible stains and even a piece of trash on the pullout sofa bed mattress, very large spider webs behind the kitchen curtains, smooshed bugs on the walls, a broken and unusable shower handle, a messy silverware drawer, dirty windows, and a broken trash can lid (plus an old cheerio below the lid). After pulling out the sofa bed mattress for a second night and noticing mouse droppings on it, we decided we no longer wanted to remain. We left after two nights (despite booking for seven nights). While the owners offered to send housekeeping, this was not a satisfactory resolution for us, as we traveled a distance to stay in a house we were expecting to be clean, not to spend part of our vacation with a housekeeper or handyman at our location (nor did it make us feel more comfortable about the overall cleanness of the place when it looked like it did in the first place). We did request a partial refund; however, we were disappointed that this was not provided after such a negative experience.

Cozy Beach Cottage

Plenty of space for friends and family to unwind. Great location tucked away in the middle of the OBX making it convenient to get everywhere we wanted to see and easily accessible for a break in the day. Would definitely book this cottage again. Absolutely loved it!

Good value for off-season rental

Great value for our stay. Split level (3) house with 2 full bedrooms and multiple sofabeds in 2 other open areas. New air conditioning/heater wall units. Good LED TVs and Spectrum internet. Good location within 100 yards of Nags Head beach access. Within walking distance of Jeannette's pier. In addition to our own toilet paper, paper towels, and trash bags (as stated in their description), we bought our own dish soap, bath soap, and dobie pads for dishwashing. Liquid soap provided was so-so. Nonetheless, we give our stay 5 stars.

Plesant and relaxing.

Though this place is dated, it was comfortable and cozy. When a light went out we called number, someone came out and fixed it. Everybody was very pleasant and nice. Easy to work with. Very helpful of places to go and very easy to check in. Enjoyed our stay very much. Wanted to mention there is no dishwasher not a big deal for us , but that may bother some. Not a lot of room to park. Only us there so no problem for us, but may be for others. We had a great time.

The cottage was overall very clean. It was a little dated. The biggest thing that I had was there is hardly any parking can’t even hardly turn your car around, but the owner was very responsive. Very nice and very easy to deal with overall the cottages very nice and for the price I would stay there again.

Perfect moms and sons trip

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It’s nice to be away from the main area and it’s a short drive to anything you might need. The house was an easy walk to the beach - we felt safe at night walking around as well. The house layout was great for us to be upstairs and give the teenagers some space. Loved the kitchen table with built in lazy Susan. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need to cook plenty of meals at the house. We loved it!

It’s “rustic”!

Well, relatively low-cost was my primary motivator when looking for a VRBO in Nags Head that offered two bedrooms and two bathrooms for our stay. This house was built in 1972 and has not been particularly updated since. It’s a design time capsule and a fairly well-worn time capsule at that. Look, if you are not that picky about things like worn-out linoleum, a small hole in the paneling here and there and carpet that might have actually been laid in 1972 and you really just need a place to lay your head while saving some bucks, this spot is fine. The water runs cold and hot, the roof doesn’t leak, the a/c units are new and work quite well and there is a washer and dryer. Bring extra towels and washcloths with you as there is about 1.5 per bedroom provided as well as beach towels, toilet paper and paper towels. Overall, this cottage is the epitome of that universal axiom of “you get what you pay for”. My wife and I keep trying to prove that theory wrong but we continue to fail at it.

Nags head stay!

We came to stay for April vacation! It was my 8 year old son, myself and my boyfriend. The property was beautiful! We grilled on the porch and walked to the beach everyday! We loved the mini golf near by and the beach the best. I highly recommend staying at the property and we would love to come back!
