Great Stay in OBX!

Had an amazing family vacation here! Great proximity to the beach and a very clean and comfortable house. The host was incredibly communicative and gave lots of information and recommendations for the area before check in. My daughter loved the pool and the place came stocked with tons of stuff for the beach. Highly recommend for a family vacation!

About the host

Hosted by John Gibbs

Host profile image

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. 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 , Nelene, is Licensed Real Estate Broker in Virginia and North Carolina.

Why they chose this property

Our home is located directly across the street from the beach in a quiet private neighborhood of South Nags Head. We say we are at the end of the rainbow. There are only a few houses between our home and the Cape Hatteras National Seashore Park. Our back deck overlooks the Cape Hatteras National Seashore which provides amazing sunset views. It is a great place to take the family for a walk, bike ride, or just sit on the decks and enjoy the magnificent sunrise views from the front in the morning and magnificent sunset views from the back in the evening . These views and the location, along with the updates we have made to our home, make this home our 'dream come true'. During the many years of vacationing on the Outer Banks, and never wanting to leave, we can now say we own our dream home! We know you will enjoy it as much as we do!

What makes this property unique

You will enjoy the beautiful pristine beaches of South Nags while only minutes away from all of the restaurants, fishing and entertainment that Nags Head and the Outer Banks has to offer. We have spectacular views from every area in our home. We have updated our home with new furnishing, new paint, a new salt water pool, hot tub and fully stocked kitchen. We have a 6 mile jogging/bike/walking trail that extends for 6 miles. This is a concrete path great for an evening bike ride after dinner a walk or rollerblading. We are only a mile and 1/2 from the Bodie Island light house. We have a large outside shower with dressing area on the ground level. After staying in many different vacation homes over the years on the Outer Banks, we know what is needed to make a memorable vacation stay and that is exactly what you will get with our home. You can be assured there will be no surprises when you arrive and that everything will be spotlessly clean and prepared for your arrival.
