About this property

'Pilot House', Ocean Views, Ez Access to Beach, Pool & Hot Tub

' PILOT HOUSE
Location, Location, Location. Close to the beach and accesses (1 block) with views of the Ocean from the living area and screened dining area and deck. Free sunrises every day. All the benefits of semi-oceanfront without the traffic. Arrive, park, and enjoy. Food Lion, 24 hr Harris Teeter, coffee shops, restaurants, surf shops, galleries, and fishing pier are all within 1/2 mile.
Pool gets the sun all afternoon. Upper deck is shaded in the late afternoon. This stretch of beach has a natural shore break that is great for surfing, boogie boarding and body surfing.

Family groups only; no college or high school groups, minimum age for renting is 25. Parents must be on site if on the Rental Agreement.

Newer reverse floor plan design.

Top level has a king bed, full bathroom, living area, dining area, kitchen, hard wood floors, screened in dining area, and deck area.

Middle level has a Queen Master bedroom with private bathroom with Jacuzzi tub, additional queen bedroom with shared full bathroom, a 3rd bedroom with a twin over full bunkbed, outside entrance, and large deck area with Hot Tub.

First level has an entrance through the carport area. There is a game room area with two twin beds, TV, and 6 ft. Pool Table. There is a full-size laundry room with W/D, half bath, and a 2nd full size Refrigerator/Freezer. Outside there is the gated Pool area, enclosed outside shower, basketball goal, and fish cleaning table.

My kitchen may not have granite counter tops, but it is very well equipped. Some folks don't care to go out to dinner every night, so there is a great set of top of the line pots and baking pans to accommodate your crowd for cooking in. In addition, there is a crock pot, electric griddle, hand mixer, steamer pot, and a heavy-duty blender. There is a Weber Genesis gas grill in the carport area for grilling out.

All bedrooms, Game Room, and Top Floor Living Area have a Smart TV and a Blu-Ray DVD Player

Bath towels and Linens provided with beds made,

Floor plan allows a for lot of activity without everyone tripping over each other. When my kids bring guests the pool, game room, and hot tub tend to keep them downstairs while my friends and I can enjoy some quieter time on the upper level.

No better place to enjoy a morning cup of coffee or an afternoon cocktail than the upper deck.

Beach cart, 8 Tommy Bahama style beach chairs, beach umbrellas, and 4 beach towels provided.

We do allow pets on a limited basis. No cats or puppies. Well trained dogs only. Pet fee is per dog. Limit of two dogs. Occasional exceptions with permission.
Smoking is allowed outside only, and these rules have kept the house pet and smoke odor free.

I do not book more than a year in advance. I block the following summer so I can offer this years' renters first refusal on next year. Please check back in December for open dates.

Please note I also require a separate Rental Agreement between you and me, as VRBO only provides me a name, phone number and an email address. The Agreement just provides me a little more information, and assurance that you have are aware of the limitations I have mentioned in the listing. This is my second home you are renting, and I work hard to provide you a great getaway.

If you have to cancel, I will try to work with you as described in my Rental Agreement. If I can rent the week again, I will refund you per the Rental Agreement.

I am also available to answer any questions that come up during your stay if you are not familiar with Nags Head. I want you to have a great vacation!

Excellent location, close to Tortugas, shopping and short walk to beach access. Chairs and beach cart provided. Great utensils and cookware, pool and hot tub were great. The owner communicated regularly and was very responsive to fixing the washing machine. This is a great location and well appointed.

Cute house but a little dated

Cute house but could use a few upgrades. The carpet is old and smells but the home design, pool and location to the beach were perfect. Owner is super friendly and would stay again.

Lovely stay at the pilot house

The house was a perfect set up for our family. We had three couples and three kids under 4 years old. We enjoyed the short walk to the beach, and lots of time in the pool! The house is conveniently located to grocery stores and coffee shops! We felt welcomed, at home, and very comfortable! The sunsets and sunrises at oxb are beautiful. Can’t wait to go back!

Pilot House Beach House

Than was a wonderful host that was helpful and kind. The pilot house was clean and felt like a home away from home. It was stocked with all the amenities we needed not only for daily living but for beach and pool fun too. The location was perfect. We were in walking distance to the beach and also close to a beach access where we could park a car for older family members. This was our first time staying in a vrbo house and it was one we would definitely do again.

Perfect Beach Stay!

We had a fabulous week at Than’s lovely home. The house was perfect for our group with plenty of room for us to spread out and not feel like we were on top of each other. Perfect location one block off the beach and within a short walk of stores and restaurants. Than was incredible to work with and available to answer all questions. Would absolutely rent again!

Perfect location and house!

Than was super accommodating and very helpful. The house was fully stocked with everything you could imagine! There was even a game room in the basement with tons of toys for the kids. Perfect for families or larger groups. The house was very clean and we enjoyed having coffee on the top deck off the kitchen. Very short walk to the beach across the street and overall just the perfect location. There was a also a playground/park about a half mile walk. Will definitely stay again!

Perfect Location

We loved this house! Location is excellent. Quiet street but close to everything. We rented a golf cart (LSV) and didn't need to use our car at all. Weather was perfect. Loved sitting on the top deck and drinking coffee in the morning. Host is great and easy to communicate with. Can't wait to go back!

More than we could ever expect

Photos and words do not prepare you for the quiet street yet short walk to the beach, grocery, putt putt, farmer’s market, ice cream, to name a few. Bullfrogs croaking at night, the amazing sea breeze, the convenience of a hot and cold enclosed outdoor shower, thereby keeping sand outdoors, the convenience of a water hose to squirt beach chairs off, children’s laughter and shrieks in the private pool, 3 porches to enjoy the night sky, the sound of the ocean. The house in itself is wonderful and the owner amazingly available. I don’t know how any other place or location will ever measure up to The Pilot House.

Perfect Spot For a Getaway

We had a wonderful time in the Pilot House. The location is perfect to explore all the OB. The house was spotless, beds were comfortable, hot tub was awesome. We’re already planning a return one day when the weather will be just a little warmer.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
I rented a week at the same bare bones beach cottage for twenty years before finally buying the one I now own. I try to be the guy I would want to rent from. I remember having to pack a lot of bulky stuff in the car to really enjoy our stay. That is why I supply Tommy Bahama beach chairs, umbrellas, etc so you won't have to. I couldn't afford to eat out every night so there is a fully equipped kitchen and a Weber gas grill.

Why they chose this property

We vacationed at Nags Head every summer and while I could not buy oceanfront, I was incredibly lucky to find this one. I spent a year looking and this was the one house that was everything we were looking for. It is one street in from the beach road so traffic is minimal. It is one of the few with clear views and close proximity to the beach. It still looks and feels new and has everything we need to relax whatever the weather may be. We love this section of the beach because of everything that is close by and the beach itself is one the best stretches of beach down here with a good natural surf break.

What makes this property unique

There is enough room for my wife and I, and our kids and their guests not to trip over each other. We can hang out on the upper level while they have the game room, pool, and hot tub. No better place to enjoy a morning cup of coffee or an afternoon cocktail than the upper deck.
