Nag's head is exactly what you would picture an east coast beach to be - simple, trendy, touristy...just "quaint". I chose this photo over others because it is a different view of the typical "beach", investigating the movement of the water over the yellow sand in dim sunlight just made for a peaceful image.

The room was very clean and the value for the money was good, considering it's January, pets are allowed and the motel is an older model, lovingly restored by the current owners.

The rental was clean but it was a bit outdated.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.
