Winter Beach Is Fun

We usually rent a home in Kitty Hawk during the summer, but decided to mix things up and spend New Years in Nags Head. The home was perfectly situated on the beach road with a close cross walk and views of the beach. The house offered all of the amenities, including an elevator and a hot tub. We would definitely sty here again--maybe in the summer next time!

September Beach Week with my Adult Kids

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was my first stay in Nags Head. I have ben coming to the Banks since the seventies with multiple stays in Duck, Salvo and Buxton. Nags Head street noise was overwhelming over Labor Day weekend. On the positive side we were close to restaurants and stores. The house was okay and very close to the beach. The swimming pool was the big draw. Beautiful and framed by palm trees.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great experience at this rental. It’s rare to find a rental that welcomes pets, let alone one that is centered around pets. We had a blast! Steps from the beach, we’ll-stocked rental. The backyard pool and dog-space was exceptional. The house was absolutely spotless, which is impressive given that it is pet-friendly. Rental company was responsive to maintenance concerns. Elevator was not working during our stay, but company communicated issues ahead of rental. Would 10/10 recommend.

Happy Dog Days

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family enjoyed our stay at Happy Dog Days from the moment we pulled into the driveway. The elevator was a plus for my disabled father and great for assisting with getting groceries and luggage to the top floor. The home was very clean, but we did immediately realized that the rug on the second floor hallway had an odor, so we rolled it up and left it on the covered porch during our stay and did not notice an odor again. The couch was very difficult for some family members to get in and out off as it sits very low, but otherwise comfortable. Overall, we enjoyed being on vacation in a home that embraces family to include our fur babies. I would absolutely rent this home again as the set up is perfect for my family and dogs. The fenced in area in the back yard allowed for the dogs to run and play and I didn’t worry about them getting out. Overall it was a great experience!!

We would recommend this property to others.I would however suggest updating furniture and sofas on 3rd level as they have been "enjoyed" alot it would appear.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is really a terrific house! The heated pool was great, as the ocean was a bit chilly earlier during our stay. I loved that there was a master bedroom on the top floor; this made our stay much easier. The only thing was that the bed frame in this room was larger than the mattress, which resulted in me hitting my shins almost every night when going to bed.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 7 adults, 5 children, and 5 dogs stayed at Happy Dog Days and loved every minute of it. The house was clean and had enough space for all of us to spread out. The separate dog area was great - and so was the paw-shaped pool! Only complaint was the lack of kitchen necessities - salt/pepper, paper/aluminum foil products, etc. It was not as well-stocked as some of the other properties in which we have stayed in the past.
