Semi oceanfront location with a 3 min walk to the ocean and Gift Card

For the start of 2025 we will be offering dining gift cards for early booked stays into the First of May.
This lovely two bedroom, one bath, is located on the beach road in Nags Head at mile post 16. There are two beach access close enough you don' t need to drive.


We have had more fun checking guests in personally and telling them about our Outer Banks than you know and can't wait for future guests to come enjoy any one of our places. Mom made them super cute and beach themed. If you wanted to go on vacation with some other families but like your space also, we have the spot for you and our family restaurant , the Dunes is right behind you for breakfast, dinner, carry out and a full bar with no driving required. Our places are safe and secure with storage for beach gear.
In the event of a hurricane or threat of one and you need to cancel. Not a problem! We give a full refund. We do not wish to profit from a storm and we will hope you can rebook at a future date and pick us and Nags Head year after year.


The beach accesses
By close they are 50 yards on each side. The one to the north does have an out door shower and foot wash, but there is also a water hose on the north side of the house. If is blowing be sure to wash off your car. There is a spacious front porch to enjoy your coffee and catch a glimpse of the ocean and a back deck for a cocktail and a sunset you won't forget. Want to bring your boat? Not a problem. We have plenty of room to put even the biggest of trailer-able boats. There is lots to do. A 1000 foot pier, Jennette's, operated by the North Carolina Aquarium, is half a mile away for fishing and just to walk. Putt putt, go carts, and jet skis are across the street on the sound side, along with a public access. There are 10 restaurants within 3 miles. Fishing charters are available within a short drive down to Pirates Cove Marina. Nags Head Golf Links is 1 mile away with links style golf at its finest. Need someone to play with? Just let me know! They also gave me some discount cards. Hatteras ferry dock is an hour a way to the island of Ocracoke. My Family owns and operates the Dunes Restaurant for the past 34 years. We love the area and know you will have a great time staying here with us in Nags Head.

On Roanoke Island you will find a bunch of stuff to do. One is the North Carolina Aquarium. Its one of several in the NC system and also hooked to Jennetts Pier. Its a good go to for the whole family, I like to take a date there to kill some time on a cloudy day. Lots of animals and fish and even a jelly fish viewing. For the price its worth is. There is also the Lost Colony play that recreates the first English settlement in 1587 and what they think happened. It only plays in summer though. Most of the actors are college students in preforming arts. It has true story behind it, Indians and gun fights, Singing and Dancing, and great costumes. Its 20 for any seat and 25 or 30 and you get to go back stage.
In downtown Manteo there are shops from fine art to beach stuff, 4 restaurants, one with a brewery, a distillery, a child play ground, a replica of a light house, my grandad was stationed on the real one, a historic boat building shop, some charter boats for hire, a pirate ship, and the oldest family run movie theater, that is only 7 per person and they have great popcorn.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned cottage, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
This smoke-free cottage features surfing/body boarding nearby, hiking/biking trails nearby, and kayaking nearby. Recreational activities include sailing nearby, scuba diving nearby, and parasailing nearby.

It was a nice stay with the Dunes restaurant in the back. The food was awesome as well as the staff. Getting to the beach was a quick short walk, which was nice, it’s close to a shopping mall as well as Jeanette’s pier.We would definitely stay again.Communicating with Patrick was easy and he responded real quick, basically just check in and check out information. We had no problems with the property at all.

Kitchen supplies very minimal. Can opener didn’t work no scissors no sharp knives to cut any thing. Definitely need more coffee, mugs, and throw blankets or extra blankets for the beds. The only other thing that I thought was misrepresented was the laundry. The laundry room, outback, needing coins, and was very sketchy and scary in there for a single woman when no one‘s around!

Perfect location!

This was a girls trip to the Outer Banks. We loved the location with public beach access very close. Patrick was a wonderful host; responding promptly our first night when we could not unlock the door. We also highly recommend the Dune restaurant owned by the family for 40 years. Would definitely rent again!

Patrick was great—responded right away when we had questions. The duplex was bright and comfortable and just a 2 minute walk to the beach. We enjoyed the rocking chairs on the porch. Our main recommendation: install a towel bar and a hand towel ring in the bathroom. (The adjoining unit had them.) Hooks by the door for jackets would be nice too. We had a great time.

QUICK SPRING BREAK STAY

My daughter, niece and I stayed for two nights. What a cute space. Plenty of seating to be in the living room. Bedrooms were quaint. Loved looking out the front and seeing the water. The walk to the beach was easy and quick. Patrick was very responsive to my texts and very pleasant. Would recommend for no more than 4 people based on size. Recommend.
