About this property

★ "The location + accommodations are simply perfect.”

Now Booking Spring/Summer 2024! We are pet friendly + do not require the traditional "Saturday-Saturday" stay. If you are looking for less than the minimum required, feel free to message me and we can try to make it work! @StayCoastalOBX

★ "Our first time visiting the OBX and Amanda and Adam hit it out of the park. We had nothing to think about but relaxing."

This tastefully decorated, 3 bedroom/2 bath, oceanside home is the perfect getaway for family, friends or couples! Located on a quiet cul de sac only a 5 minute walk to Bonnett Street Beach access (lifeguarded beach access), the location can't be beat! We manage and clean the home ourselves - you will not find a cleaner rental home! Kitchen recently updated with quartz countertops, marble backsplash + black stainless appliances. Our new outdoor shower is the perfect way to end your day on the beach. We are considered "oceanside" which does not require you to cross a major highway to access the beach.

Carolina Dreaming is only a block away from the new, 5 acre Dowdy Park! There is a great playground for kids, basketball, bocce ball and pickle ball courts. In the summer, Dowdy has been home to a weekly farmers/artisans market.

In addition to this great new park - we are within walking distance to Tortuga's Lie, Lucky 12 Tavern, Galaxy Mini Golf, Morningview Coffee Shop, The Spot Ice Cream, Nags Head YMCA, Waveriders Deli and of course, the BEACH!

Nice place for an OBX getaway
Had a great visit in Nags head at this property! It was our first time in OBX and the location was perfect for us to head north one day and south the next to explore most of the islands.The park nearby was very nice. Lots of activities to do there (basketball, pickleball, horseshoes, etc).Some great food/ice cream within walking distance. Including the beach.House was very clean and had everything we needed. Well thought out in covering all the amenities.Host was an excellent communicator and always available should we need anything. Gave some great recommendations of restaurants and places to see. Would definitely stay again!

Wonderful stay in Nags Head
Amanda was incredible, reaching out before and during our stay to ensure that we had everything we needed. The house was incredibly clean and had a ton of amenities for families. The location was great - within a short driving distance to restaurants/activities and about a 5 minute walk to the beach.

Perfect family beach getaway
The house was sparkling clean, plenty of space to spread out, and met all of our needs. Loved that the property was shaded and we enjoyed dinners out on the deck. The location is great, close to the beach and lots of options for biking and walking. Amanda was a fantastic host and wonderful to work with. Can't wait to plan a return visit.

We had a wonderful long weekend at Amanda’s house. Everything was extremely clean and comfortable just like the pictures show. Short walk to the beach, park & restaurants. Really nice location. We had a great time and enjoyed our trip even in off season. Neighborhood is nice and maintained. Kids loved the bunk beds and the toys & books that were provided. Plenty of places to explore nearby.

Great beach vacation spot!
This beach home is very clean, and very well-cared for, with lots of nice touches. Inside, there are lots of comfortable places to be; and outside, the home is in a quiet neighborhood just a short walk to the beach. The owners made us feel right at home, and were super well-organized in providing us information, giving us tips, and being available if we needed. We had a great time, we enjoyed our stay immensely, and we can't wait to come back again!

Charming Home
Spent a long weekend here with some old friends from high school and we had a wonderful time even despite some iffy weather. The place was extremely clean and cozy, with many thoughtful little touches throughout. The walk to the beach is not too far, and we enjoyed being able to walk/bike to some nearby restaurants. Amanda was a great and communicative host. Definitely would stay here again in the future!

Great cottage in Nags Head
The cottage is adorable and just roomy enough to fit our party of six. Kitchen was well stocked with cooking gear. Cottage was a short walk to beach which is one of the ones with bathrooms and showers, which was nice. Also it was in a great location for us to do other activities - Jockey's Ridge, mini-golf and go karts, and lots of ice cream/custard treat options! Plus Amanda was awesome to deal with - super helpful and very responsive.

Carolina dreamin is an amazing property that is so close to the beach and so functional with the outdoor shower and screened in living space. The kitchen had everything we needed to make dinners together. And more than the actual property, Amanda was fantastic throughout the entire process. She gave amazing recommendations for where to eat and things to do, and made sure everything went smoothly.

Amazing Beach Vacation
Our family of 6 had a wonderful time in Nag's Head. The location cannot be beat - a short walk to the beach, restaurants, mini golf and ice cream...there is no better place to stay. The house is stocked with everything you need - including kids plates and cups! My kids loved the nearby park, and the ocean...the best. Super clean beach, plenty of space, warm water and lots of shells. Amanda is a phenomenal host. She called us as soon as we made the reservation to answer any questions we may have had, and she communicated us throughout the week to make sure we got in ok and everything was good. We had a wonderful vacation and will definitely be back!
