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!

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.

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.

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!!

What a great week! We’ve been coming to OBX every summer for the last 14 years with our dogs, and this house was hands down our favorite. Our dogs really enjoyed the fenced in grass, the walk to the beach was easy, and the house had everything we could want. We’ve already booked for next year, and can’t wait to come back.

Happy Dog Days was a fantastic house for us. And by saying pet friendly, this owner really meant it. So many details - from the biggest water bowl ever - to the enclosed grassy yard and a pool - plenty of hoses to clean up the doggies - it was great for all the family!!! We will be back and vote 5 stars for everything

Our visit was very nice. The house was fairly clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the location of the beach house as it was located very close to many places we wanted to see and shop. The beach access was great!Our furry companions enjoyed the property too.I think the elevator was a fantastic way to fully access the different levels especially for some of our elderly family.Kitchen was great..pool and hot tub were thoroughly enjoyed.Overall experience was excellent!!The staff at Beach Realty were wonderful to deal with and we had no problems. 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.

The house met all of our family’s needs. The elevator allowed for older generations to attend. Our dog was able to go with us on the trip and renting Happy Dog Days made that possible. Communication with the realty company during our stay was easy and effective. The location of the house was convenient to north and south Outer Banks beaches and parks.
The property was great.! Loved the location to the beach, decor, and large space. Only drawback was the cleaning company could have done better.

This is our third time renting this beautiful home, so dog friendly, clean and any amenity you could ask for!. We've already booked the house again for next year.The location is perfect, just a few steps from the beach!
Easy beach access, nice pool and hot tub. Well maintained and heated pool a plus! Some decks and railings need to be replaced/stabilized in very near future. We had a good time and really liked it! Loved the extra play space for the dog! Yard had no THORNS which is a huge plus so very pet friendly!

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.

My wonderful owner rented a Beach house just for me No more staying in a strange place with no couch, strange people walking and feeding me. It was wonderful, a huge backyard for me run and do my business in. There was even my own plastic pool just like their pool. That is what I call a real dogs life.

The house lived up to its description and pics. Pros: Kitchen was well stocked, AC worked like a charm, elevator was a big help, downstairs fridge came in handy, bedrooms allowed for privacy.Cons: TV sound system not easy to figure out, lighting upstairs was oddly very dim at night, limited seating on the decks and towel service shorted us on towels but that not the owners fault!

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.
