Lovely second visit

My family had a lovely visit to this house. The house is spacious, clean, comfortable and a very short walk to the beach. The beach is beautiful and not crowded at all. The home owner is great to deal with, very responsive and helpful.Lovely restaurants nearby and lots to do for the whole family.

Perfect location within eye distance of the beach!

This is our second time staying at this fun & clean beach house. The owner is great to work with and we enjoy the easy process of check-in and check-out. If you are looking for a great family beach house without all the hassle of a rental company, this is the perfect place.

1st family vacation

My family and I took our first family vacation to OBX and it went better than expected. This was the perfect location and size house we were looking for. Very short walk to the beach and the owner was very nice and communicated/updates us on things down in OBX. This is a house we we stay at in the future.

Great Stay

Everything with this property was fantastic. We travel to OBX at least once a year. Deborah did a great job with communication and the entire process was much more enjoyable than working with some of the larger OBX rental agencies. Location to the beach was perfect and jsut a very short walk.

Great location

We really enjoyed our stay! Beautiful beach that isn’t very crowded. The owner is great and quick to respond to any questions. She let us know when there were riptide warnings as well. The house is just a quick 4-5 minute walk across the street to the beach. The neighborhood is quiet but still close to shops and restaurants. Check in process was easy. We would definitely like to stay here again!

Is it really time to go home?

What a amazing home. Perfect for the 6 of us. Kids wanted to go to the beach this morning as we were packing up. Last night we were sitting in the living room and realized we had to leave. Perfect location, included amenities, close to tons of activities.

A relaxing vacation

The house had many games, movies, books, beach chairs, and beach toys. The layout made the house feel roomy with the high ceilings. We loved having an outdoor shower, which helped with five people staying there. The house was just a two minute walk to the beach and only about ten minutes away from a major grocery store. On previous visits to the Outer Banks, we have stayed in Kitty Hawk and Kill Devil Hills, but this house was in a neighborhood we had never explored before, and it was more quiet and relaxing. We contacted the owner, Debbie, to ask if we could stay an extra day and she answered our call immediately; there was no availability for an extra day, but that is okay. We had a great vacation there. We definitely would rent this place again.

Cozy, roomy property

There isn't a cleaning service for this house, tenants clean before they leave. We were pleased that the place was very clean when we arrived. You can see the beach from one of the upstairs decks and the other upstairs deck gives you a view of the backyard and sound. I would say the sound-side deck has the best view, and we appreciated the growth of the backyard. The beach-facing deck is concrete and not level so it collects water when it rains. It rained frequently while we were there and there was always water on the deck, so we didn't use it. I had lower back, hip, and leg pain throughout our entire stay because our mattress was too firm. It's best to watch the sunrise from the beach, because there are larger beach houses that impede the view from the deck. The kitchen was well stocked, there are plenty of seasonings, utensils, and pots and pans to cook with. The picnic table being in an enclosed porch was a nice touch. It was well stocked with kids' beach toys, boogie boards (although all the straps were broke), 2 bicycles, plenty of beach chairs, and umbrella. It was really nice being able to walk to the beach whenever we pleased and have warm water to rinse off with when we returned. The living room DVD player and CD player could use to be upgraded. There was no remote for the DVD player which was an inconvenience for us and the CD player didn't work. A handyman showed up unannounced on our second day to look at the fridge; a head's up would have been nice. There's a $300 refundable damage deposit, but they subtract $40 worth of transaction fees from it. We enjoyed our vacation and such a close walk to the beach. We could see dolphins from the beach almost everyday that we were there, and this area of the beach is very clean. The house was roomy for our family of five and the neighborhood was quiet. The recommendations I would give would be a crow's nest deck for a better view of the beach, an upgrade to the concrete deck to allow water to drain off, softer mattresses, and upgrades to various equipment throughout the house. The Outer Banks is a great place to visit, and we do plan to return.

Such a great week!

The house was exactly what we needed. The size was just what we needed! The front door handle had broken before we got there, and the owners came and replaced it for us. The communication with the owners was really easy and good. They are super nice! The location is fantastic! Literally go straight across the street and keep going straight a little longer and you're on the beach!! Totally perfect and the street wasn't very busy when we were there. My family loved the house especially my son! Lol We would totally go back!! Thank you for such a great vacation!

Great house and location in South Nags head

We had a great week at the beach! We loved the location of the house to the beach, just a quick walk across the street. The house is in a quiet cul de sac away from the business of nags head traffic and had all the amenities we needed. Debbie the owner is available for any need and is organized with getting information to you ahead of time. I rode one of the bikes included all around the island which was great! We had fun hunting for ghost crabs on the beach at night, watching sunrises and sunsets, relaxing on the beach, eating out at the Outer Banks fishing pier and getting fresh seafood at one if the markets to make at home. We will definitely be back!

Perfect OBX

The property met all our expectations, after staying there 2 years in a row. There's all the amenities we need, and then some. Great sunrise and sunsets in a quiet cul-de-sac, and few minutes' walk to a beautiful beach. Just down the road is Hatteras National Seahore and Bodie Island Lighthouse. The owner was wonderful and very responsive..

About the host

Hosted by Deborah Critzer - CyberRentals Member since June 2003

Host profile image
Currently live in Richmond, VA so we're close enough to visit the cottage for weekend getaways off season! We also check on the cottage frequently during the rental season to ensure it's ready for our tenants.

Why they chose this property

Our family has been coming to the Outer Banks since the 1960's so it was the place to go when it was our time to buy a cottage. Our kids have grown up coming here and we've made many great memories. Now one of our kids has a rental cottage a few miles north of our cottage. We love the Outer Banks!

What makes this property unique

We've been coming to the Outer Banks for years and really enjoy the calmness that you feel once you cross the bridge onto the Island! In South Nags Head, where the cottage is located, the beaches are very relaxing and not crowded! The bike path (from approx 2 MP to 23 MP) is an added benefit for biking or just walking!
