Great Location for Quiet Stay

We had a wonderful time at the Wave Watcher. It is as easy walk to the beach and the second story decks made a great place to read. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. The owners were very attentive. They responded right away. At one point (through no fault of them) the batteries in the lock started running out. He came out within hours to change the batteries for us. The one thing I would note is that this isn't a location that you will be walking to dinner or shopping. However, that isn't something that we were looking for in a rental so it didn't matter to us. Honestly, the peace of quiet of the location made the short distance well worth it.

BEAUTIFUL Sunrises and Sunsets!

Stayed a week here at the Wave Watcher with my dad, boyfriend and 4 kids. The name suits itself as you can see the water from the back deck. They have beach chairs, boogie boards for the kids and sand toys. The outdoor shower was an added bonus; which we used every time we went to the beach. The beach was a short walk out the back and across the street. The street was not a busy street for anyone with families. The house was clean and had everything we needed to cook our meals inside. Nelene provided enough towels, wash clothes and linens which were all in sanitized bags upon our arrival. She kept the communication open which is always a plus!! She let us know that the AC was broke prior to our arrival and we had portable units in each bedroom. The next day the AC guy was there to fix the AC just like she said. I am truly grateful to have stayed here and defiantly look forward to another stay! Thank you for this wonderful beach getaway!

Perfect OBX vacation

This was our first trip to the Outer Banks and this property did not disappoint. The location was excellent. The beach is just a short walk across the street and the house came equipped with beach chairs and boogie boards. Resturants, supermarkets and local attractions wete all just a short drive away. The house was really clean and up to date. The kitchen had all the utensils and pots and pans you would need. I give this house an A + and we would definitely stay here again in the future.

About the host

Hosted by John & Nelene Gibbs

We have been vacationing on the Outer Banks since we were teenagers. Lifelong residents of Virginia Beach, VA, It has always been our lifelong dream to own our own home on the Outer Banks. That dream became a reality in December of 2014. We decided to share our home with our guests for a few weeks during the summer. Since that time, we have added two additional vacation homes to our rental properties and this great property has been lovingly updated from inside out. All of our home has been updated, renovated, and cleaned to have it pristine and sparkling and ready for our guests. Our guests enjoy our home as much as we do as you can see from our reviews from previous vacationers.
*Owners wife is Licensed Real Estate Broker in Virginia and North Carolina.

Why they chose this property

What makes this property unique

Amazing views from front and back decks. 1 minute walk to the beach in a quiet, established neighborhood with a mix of permanent homes and cottage rentals. Located close to restaurants, shopping and the Bodie Island Lighthouse, you will love all that our home in South Nags Head has to offer. Enjoy the multi use bath along the oceanside to walk and ride bikes. We have an open floor plan which is perfect for everyone to enjoy family time during your Outer Banks vacation.
