This house is right on the beach, no dune to cross, no road, RIGHT ON THE BEACH. We say ocean life everyday including a whale at one point! Great location only minutes from fast food, better restaurants, Food Lion, mini golf, and more more more. Without hesitations I would recommend this house. We went each of the last two years and stayed here and if ever in OBX again we will try to stay there again. ##### chris b. ### 8/10 Good #### Julie R. 3 Nov 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### OBX Girls Weekend October 21 The house and location are perfect. We were a little disappointed with the lack of a few basic items like extra blankets, throw blankets, coffee filters, trash bags, cooking oil and basic spices like salt, pepper, etc. Those few extras would have made the place much cozier. ##### Julie R.

The view was fantastic from inside (even when it rained!), and out. We had 9 family members in at different intervals, and we were never crowded or on top of each other. The kitchen was spacious and comfortable. Despite a barrage of groceries, snacks, and beverages that we dragged in with us, there was still plenty of room to function--both for big family meals, and "everyone fend for yourselves" meals. Between all of use, we took advantage of all of the amenities--the grill and picnic tables, the hot tub, the washer and dryer. Everything was in great order. It was a dream trip for the entire family. ##### Clint W.

This large 6 bedroom/6 bathroom is wonderfully located on the corner of a loop in South Nags Head. We all loved being able to walk right out onto the beach, and the views were amazing from the decks where there is plenty of seating. It is located south of Jeanette’s Pier, so not as busy as further north with traffic and beach goers. The kitchen/dining area/eating area was very large, and could easily accommodate our entire party. We loved that every room has a view of the ocean due to the way the house was built, and we could even hear the sounds of the ocean with the windows closed! The house has everything you need - multiple coffeepots, pans, pots, toasters, griddle, blenders, , dishes etc. If you like a kuerig - bring that with you. Also, be sure to bring your own beach chairs to sit on the beach, and propane if you want to grill. The bedroom doors are louvered and there are no room darkening shades, so if you are sensitive to light / sound, I’d bring earplugs and a sleeping mask. ##### Christine W. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Christine M. 11 Aug 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We stayed the last week of July 2025. There were 16 of us & we had plenty of space. The kitchen & living room are beautiful & the heart of the house. One issue was 1 of the large burners on the stove didn’t work & the oven would not heat up over 325 degrees. I am sure they will replace it but it did make cooking for 16 people a bit challenging. We had to change what we prepared. The house is right on the beach but note that the sand gets super hot in the afternoon. Also, if you are not used to climbing a lot of stairs it can be difficult for you. The cleaning people could do a better job for what it costs to clean. Overall a great trip. I like rent this house again. ![House from the water ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/79b53c4a-b7b1-4891-9423-deb7d578223b-1754909854799.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Christine M.

The Pompous Pelican is a wonderful house. Everything was clean and ready for us. Plenty of space for me, the misses and our pup. Spectacular, unblocked view of the ocean from the top floor… even better from the deck! Note: the photos show a walkway directly to the beach. This is now filled in by a 6’ high sand dune. We were able to climb over it to get to the beach but used the public beach access to return home. Overall, 5 stars. ##### Dennis B.

The owners responded really promptly to any inquiries before and during our stay. If your family has volume control issues with adults playing cards at night and little ones who are noisy at the crack of dawn ... you will want white noise machines for the upper bedrooms (but that's true at most beach houses too). A really great vacation home!!! ##### Carol W.

Hot tub was a nice amenity for rainy days. Large open central space on third floor, and surrounding decks on two stories were wonderful. Ground floor with hot tub also has enough space under cover for cooking on grill and serving family meals. One AC unit needed to be serviced, but the property manager was responsive and working on it. We would return! ##### Julie R.

Communication from the property manager was quick and efficient. We loved staying here and would do so again. The elevator was a game changer for us, my mother is handicapped and it was incredibly helpful to have and use! ##### Lyndsay J.

The location is amazing and the property owner/manager was easy to work with. The unique layout--each bedroom having its own private bathroom-- perfectly accommodated our family of four sets of adult couples. The upstairs layout is spacious and open with a very comfortable living area, large dining area, and a beautiful, well-stocked kitchen. It was the ideal spot for spending time together. The ocean views were stunning and we enjoyed our long walks on the beach. The mattresses were on the softer side for us but we are self-admittedly particular about our mattress firmness. The front door was a bit weather-worn and hard to open but that may be due to humidity. Our only recommendation would be to clearly warn people not to park their vehicles under the home. We almost pulled one of the cars into the left bay to make room on the driveway for the other couples' vehicles. Thankfully we didn't as there was a one foot drop-off and could have seriously damaged our car. It looks like some repair work was being done in that area which we did not notice upon our arrival. Had it been nighttime, we easily would have missed it. Overall, we are thrilled with our choice and highly recommend staying at this truly special beach home! ##### Eric P.

Spacious for a large group. Each bedroom has an en suite bathroom. Photos are accurate. However, the carpet is absolutely filthy and disgusting. I wore shoes whenever I was not in bed. The cleaning fee on this house is quite expensive. ##### Leslie L.

This is by far the best home that we have rented down there. The location is great, no overcrowded beaches, and EVERY room has a great view of the ocean. It is by far the best laid out vacation home we have stayed in anywhere. ##### David B.

Our stay was fantastic. The elevator was a little frustrating and finicky, but otherwise, our experience was fantastic. The 180 degree view from the 3rd floor couldn't be beat! ##### Wendy M.
