We were very pleased with our stay. The dock in the back with a kayak was an extra bonus! Very spacious and decorated beautifully. Included everything you needed!
This was a quick stay after the holidays to visit our daughter that lives in the neighborhood. The house was easy to find, clean, and the kitchen well appointed. The ONLY drawback was that the yard is not fenced for pets - which would be lovely.

Thank you for your review, Terri. We're glad to hear that you found the house clean and the kitchen well-equipped. We appreciate your feedback regarding the yard. We can certainly suggest that to the owner for possible future improvements. We hope to welcome you back for another visit soon!
For a house that sleeps 6, only 1 of the beds was comfortable.The king bedroom only had a headboard leaning against the wall and the footboard sticking out from the bottom of the bed.The double bed with bunk was so uncomfortable, we needed to set up our own air mattress.In addition, for a house that sleeps 6, there should be enough towel racks for 6 towels to be hung up to dry.Living room and kitchen were spacious and well equipped.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry the bedding and towel storage fell short of expectations. Our maintenance team secured the king bed’s headboard and footboard after check out, as you requested, and we are inspecting the mattresses for comfort level and wear. Glad the living room and kitchen worked well for your group! We hope you’ll consider staying with us again.
The location of this rental is amazing. It is in the heart of kill devil hills and we were so close to everything, including the beach! The back dock was great, the neighborhood was beautiful and quiet. Very peaceful stay. The only recommendations we have is to change out the fridge- it would not close all the way and we had to force it shut. The sheets had stains on them as well, so maybe updating those. Other than that, it was perfect and we plan to stay again!

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the home and the peaceful atmosphere. We appreciate your notes about the fridge and linens and will address these promptly. We look forward to welcoming you back for another stay soon!
We had such a great time! There was a problem with one of the TV’s downstairs and the maintenance man showed up quick to fix the problem. The house is located in a good spot close to multiple shops, food places, and the canal out back was the best part. Our favorite places to eat were Dune Street Raw Bar and Grill, Millers Waterfront Restaurant, and McGraths Burger Shack. We will definitely be going back!

Holly, thank you for your review! We're pleased to hear that you had a great time and that our maintenance team was quick to assist with the TV issue. It’s fantastic that you enjoyed the location and the convenience of nearby shops and restaurants. Dune Street Raw Bar and Grill, Millers Waterfront Restaurant, and McGraths Burger Shack are all excellent choices! We look forward to welcoming you back for another visit!
Good location to get to everything. House was clean and spacious. We enjoyed our stay. Would really love to have the option to recycle next time. The trash bags filled up pretty quickly with two kids.
A perfect location for our family. We rented bikes and biked around the property. The drive to the beach was short, easy, and sweet. The property was great!

Disliked: Check-in, communication
Disappointed with basic amenities
Was unpleasantly disappointed with basic amenities I expected with the house. No paper towels, not a single condiment in the fridge, no basic kitchen spices, cheep single ply toilet tissue, no sandwich bags, no laundry detergent, no dishwasher detergent, no information on local attractions, restaurants, bars, etc. I emailed the owner for some restaurant info and was responded to with a list of restaurant names only, with absolutely no details at all, which was of no use. First time staying in the outer banks and maybe this is typical of rentals but disappointing. I did speak with other renters in the area and they did not have the same experience. Had to make several trips to the grocery store to purchase all of these things. Check in not until 4 and check out the following Saturday by 9 am is ridiculous. We drove by the house at 2 pm on checkout day and the house cleaner was just getting there, so 9 am checkout was not necessary. It was a waste of both Saturdays.

We have never had these complaints before. House comes with paper towels, toilet paper, dishwasher detergent, soaps, and garbage bags for the start of the week. Checkin and checkout times are consistent throughout this area and are clearly stated on listing. Thousands of homes are cleaned and turned over on Saturday. That is why cleaners are there at 2:00 after cleaning several other houses , so that you can checkin at 4:00 pm. We are here to provide a comfortable house for our renters to explore the Outerbanks. Outerbanks restaurants and other activities can easily be found on the internet. I did respond to inquiry about local restaurants: and gave you several recommendations. Our house policy , refrigerator is thoroughly cleared and cleaned for the next renter.
Pleasant setting with view of canal. Having a kayak available provided needed exercise and entertainment. Most everything was provided for a peasant stay.
We had a great time in Nags Head. The property fit out needs perfectly. It was an easy walk to either the beach or the shore, as well as a close ride to shopping, restaurants, Jockey’s Ridge State Park and the Wright Brothers Memorial. We had no major issues during our stay and would stay there again.
The house was very spacious for all of the kids. The house is in a great neighborhood, I let my two teenagers go for a walk and I wasn't worried about them. The house is close by to some of my favorite stores so it was easy to pick up forgotten items. At night it was a very quiet and peaceful neighborhood. I would definitely rent this house again!!
The Blue House was a perfect fit for our family and last minute vacation plans! Beautiful views, direct access to the sound from the house, and plenty of room across the 3 bedrooms for everyone. The house is conveniently located close to public beach parking, a local golf course (definitely recommend Nags Head Golf Links), and shopping. Would definitely recommend and stay again!
We absolutely enjoyed this house! It had everything we needed, it was very clean and nicely decorated. We had no issues with anything. The house was centrally located to many great places to see. We will be renting this house again in the future.
We were very pleased with this rental. Everything was fresh and clean. The house sleeps 8, and we had a party of 4. More than enough room for everyone to spread out and to relax. Appreciated the well appointed kitchen -- since it was very difficult to eat out due to the extended wait times. Being positioned on the canal was great for fishing and kayaking. Having access to the community pool as an option was also a plus when we needed a break from the beach. Thank you, Christine!
