3 MIN. WALK TO THE BEACH! South Nags Head
The rental was clean but it was a bit outdated. Sheets and towels were provided. It was fine for a group of guys duck hunting for the weekend. The layout was a bit strange and would be difficult for a family. It was "guy" friendly.

Lovely 3 Bedroom Oceanside Cottage With No Street To Cross.
Location of the beach house to the ocean and town was perfect!! Far enough from town to be quiet but close enough to get to what we needed within 10 minutes. Beach was steps from the house and could hear the waves from inside the house. Coffe on the deck watching the waves was great!! Pool was right ...
