This property is definitely a step up from your typical beach house. It feels like a home. Great location, very comfortable. In good repair. Really enjoyed our stay!
We had a wonderful stay. The host was very kind and communicative. The house had everything we needed. The location was very nice, just a short walk to the beach. We would definitely go back!
The house was great for a small family group. John made the check in process extremely easy and accomodated an early check in. The porches are nice, but cool weather and pollen prevented their use. Recommendations for places to eat and things to do were spot on - Fish Heads has terrific food!
Husband and friends headed down for a long weekend fishing trip to celebrate his 40th birthday —-they loved the proximity to Oregon inlet! The tiki bar area was the perfect evening poker spot!! John was super accommodating and very easy to communicate with. Highly recommend!
Wow! This was the perfect rental for our family. The location to the beach access was fantastic. We never had to fight for a spot on the beach with this access either. The home itself was beautifully decorated with coastal charm, and the Nags Head style exterior is gorgeous! The kitchen was fully stocked with everything needed to cook any meal. The downstairs was another amazing feature with a tiki lounge, refrigerator, television, water hoses and the outdoor shower. This is the best outdoor shower you will see at coastal homes! We are looking forward to the next trip out to the OBX with this home, whether it is a fishing trip or a family vacation, this home is perfect!

We are thrilled that you and your family enjoyed the stay and experience in our cottage and really appreciate the kind review. Your extra care of the cottage was well appreciated and the cleaners noted that the house barely looked lived in for the week! Many thanks for the communication you provided during your stay. You were wonderful guests and we hope to see you again soon!
We love South Nags Head and often travel to the area. This was our first time being there over New Years and using a VRBO. We were so pleased. The home is so cozy, well stocked with all the necessities, and had wonderful bedding. The lay out was perfect for us. Our young adults enjoyed the twin beds instead of bunks, A rare find in rentals. Please do not change this function.
The underneath area with the hot tub and Tiki Bar area was a hit for the holidays. It was so much open space and a great entertainment area. Would be a great area for corn hole in the summer.
Communication with the owner was so easy. He was quick to respond to my questions and made sure the grill was in working order for us to use. The welcome gift and personal note were a nice surprise and much appreciated. Thank you for sharing your home. I would rent again.

Thank you so much for considering out home. We thoroughly enjoyed your family as a renter and welcome you back anytime! Thank you for taking care of our cottage!
This is a well equipped, clean, well located house.
We don’t cook anymore but this house has about everything you need to prepare most anything.
Probably the cleanest house we have ever stayed at. (My wife and I have rented beach houses for about 30 years.)
We don’t travel to the outer banks yearly, but when we return, we will certainly try to stay here.
Definitely recommended.
This property is in a perfect location and was exactly as described. It was extremely clean, charmingly decorated, and perfect for what we needed. It sits back on the property away from the main road it is on, which was perfect for our little ones. The property is private and the outer deck and area under the house are amazing. It’s also a very short walk to the beach. The owner was gracious and communicative. I cannot think of a single complaint we’d have. We will stay here again if available! Thanks.
Nice house, very clean and perfect for a family trip. The owner communicates consistently so there are no issues and if there are, addressed quickly.

About the host
Hosted by John Carpin
We are from Richmond, Va and have been coming to the OBX for 50+ years! We have owned the cottage for 4 years and have made significant upgrades to an already well kept home! We try to limit the number of rentals per year to maintain the home’s condition. We think you will find it very well kept and comfortable with all the amenities you need!
Why they chose this property
For those of you familiar with the Outer Banks, you understand the peaceful environment South Nags Head offers. It still feels like a beach town down south but is still super close to restaurants, shopping etc! This is why we chose to own in this area of the OBX!
What makes this property unique
The previous owner did not rent the cottage and used it for personal use only. It was lovely and well kept when we bought it and we have maintained that environment by limiting rentals. Our renters feel a sense of home at our place and enjoy the modern and well kept amenities.
