Nice quiet place-secluded yet close to everything.
The house was very nice and equipped with most everything we needed. Although we didn't do any cooking there are plenty of cookware and utensils. The rooms were very clean. It was perfect for a couple to get away and enjoy the serenity. There are plenty of excellent restaurants within a few minutes driving (and we ate at a different one most every day). There's a public beach entrance about 3 or 4 blocks away. We would stay here again if we came back to Nags Head.

We loved this space. It was conveniently located, spacious and immaculate. We did miss having oil supplied in the kitchen, but would not keep us from seeking to stay again. Great couples retreat!

Totally at home!
Great home in a great residential neighborhood. Our host left a list of suggestions for beaches, restaurants, places to go. The kitchen was stocked as good as my own kitchen at home! That was really appreciated as so often VRBOs just have a bare minimum in the kitchen. We had a great stay and would definitely go back!!!

Pretty good
Place was well kept and clean and just enough room for us, It had just about everything we needed. A note to travelers bring or get your own coffee, creamer sugar or whatever gets you thru the morning. Bring your own beach towels as none are available at this property. the iron and ironing board was a lucky find and saved the day for our special event we were there for. Oh and we got a nice little visit from a raccoon on the back porch, he was more scared of us though!

Nice neighborhood
The pros: lovely quiet neighborhood, clean, a good size space Cons: A pretty early checkout by 10:00am. The Roku tv remote in the living room does not work. We finally figured out the bedroom tv late Friday night. There definitely should be tv instructions by each television. All of the towels & wash cloths smelled very moldy, only (1) washcloth and (1) towel per person for a two night stay. We ended up buying towels at Homegoods. We were required to empty the trash, start the dishwasher, strip the bed and start the clothes washer before we left. In my opinon a cleaning fee should not be charged if you are expected to do the work yourself. There wasn't anything for coffee, nothing in the refrigerator as far as condiments or water of any kind. A completely empty frig. I think a lot of owners want rental fees but do not want to provide basic amenities and services anymore. It's like you are expected to pack your entire house and bring it with you for a day and a half stay, then clean on your way out. Standards in hospitality are gone these days.
