Packed with quality features from flooring to memory foam mattresses cleaned and encased for extra peace of mind. We have a high-level of cleanliness expectations for our property that we know our guests appreciate.

We are professional hosts that live here locally and take great care of our guests and our property!

RULES + OWNERS NOTES

* Parking is limited to five vehicles, which is tight. No yard or street parking possible at our location. Our septic system is in our side yard - please do not drive or park in the yard. This will damage our fragile system.

* We live locally just a few minutes away from our rental property. This property is not suitable for parties, events or illegal activities. We are excited to share our beach house, which we reserve in the off-season for our family members. Our neighborhood consists of full-time residents (like us), second home owners and a small number of rental properties. WE INSIST THAT ALL RENTERS respect our neighbors at the property and the noise ordinance in our town to reduce outdoor noise after 10:00 pm at night.

* Pets! We are big dog people. However, dogs should not be left barking in the house all-day causing a disturbance to neighbors. Please plan for your pet on these hot summer days! Most importantly, all pets should be flea and tick free prior to arrival and on flea and tick preventative. If the property requires pest treatment, the guest will be penalized. There is no fence in the yard. Please be respectful of the neighbors when taking dogs in the yard. The neighbors do not want dogs in their yard and monitor their property. They contact us directly with issues.

* No dogs are allowed in the pool. Even a hypoallergenic, poodle-doodle dog that has dander is equivalent to 20 people using the pool and our pump system according to our pool company. Our pool vendor does inform us when animals have been in the pool, which will result in additional costs to you and the guests.

* Lastly, Pool + Hot Tub + Water Safety is our top priority. Never prob open the pool gate. PLEASE inform us of any safety issues or concerns immediately so that we can have them addressed. We have a vendor that maintains the pool and hot tub on the weekly basis to ensure cleanliness for all guests.

A Perfect OBX Escape in Nags Head
Our recent stay in Nags Head was fantastic! We booked our trip last minute and the owner was incredibly responsive throughout our stay. The interior of the property was very clean and tastefully decorated. Additionally, the house was well appointed with all the necessary amenities and housewares, making our stay comfortable and convenient. The location of the property was great too! It is situated a short walk to the ocean, close to restaurants and various attractions, which made it easy to explore OBX. Overall, we had an excellent experience and would highly recommend this property. We can’t wait to return!

Absolutely Perfect
We had a wonderful stay! Host was great from booking through check out ensuring everything was smooth. House was the cleanest house we have stayed at. Property was in a great location for our family for beach, restaurants (ice cream), and park for kids. Would surely look to book again on our next Nags Head trip.

Simply Perfect!
Our family of 10 had an amazing time staying at the Grand Dowdy. The location is simply perfect with an easy walk to the beach, as well as close proximity for jet skiing, ice cream outings, the dunes, and shopping. Natalie is an exceptional host who is very kind and personable. The house is well equipped for homemade family meals with enough seating for everyone. We highly recommend staying here if you are looking for a safe neighborhood near the beach in a very clean, spacious house!

Perfect place to stay!
This is a wonderful place to stay. My family of 10 had a great time staying here. It is clean, updated and comfortable. It is a short distance from the beach, so it’s a good value. There are a lot of nice touches like bicycles and beach equipment. The owners are sweet and accommodating. Highly recommended!

About the host

Welcome! We are thrilled that you booked our Outer Banks beach home! We hope that you will take time to disconnect from work and daily life to reconnect with nature and one another! As a seasoned vacation rental owner, I have stocked our cottage with all the essentials you will need for a comfortable stay.

Grant and I live on the Outer Banks full-time with our growing family. I am in real estate sales, while Grant is a general contractor and home builder. We purchased this property in Fall, 2021 and immediately began an extensive renovation! All with you in mind! We are hands-on owners and work closely with the management company to keep our property in pristine condition.

Please take the time to review this Welcome Guide. It is packed with information about our cottage and our area.

Why they chose this property

Location - Location - Location! We love this area, not only do you have the beach, restaurants and activities in walking distance... Dowdy Park is the real gem! We love attending Farmers Markets, Music and Movies in the Park and spending time at the park together as a family. The cul-de-sac is a mix of primary homeowners, second homes and only a couple vacation rentals. It's a low-key area with a relaxed, beach feel.
