The house was amazing! Beautifully decorated and very relaxing to be right on the beach. My kids had a blast looking for shells.

Thank you so much for your awesome review. Lauren! I’m so glad you enjoyed the beautiful views, the private beach access, and the modern touches throughout the home. I’d be absolutely happy to host you again, looking forward to your next stay!
Thank you for your review. I’m sorry to hear about the ants and spiders mentioned in your feedback, this wasn’t brought up during your stay, otherwise I would have sent someone right away to take care of it. I appreciate you sharing this, and it has since been addressed. I hope to have the chance to welcome you back for a more seamless experience next time.
We so enjoyed our time on the little seaside cottage! It was so charming and perfectly appointed. The bedrooms were cozy and spacious enough for our family of four. While we were in Nags Head, we did a lot of water activities, and there were even surf boards and beach chairs available at the house. The outside spaces were perfect, and the walk to the beach was great. We had no problems except for finding the place on the first day. Our GPS sent us to the wrong property, but we soon figured it out.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review, Lee! I’m thrilled to hear your family had such a great time and that the cottage, beach gear, and outdoor spaces made your stay extra special. Sorry to hear about the GPS hiccup on arrival. It was a pleasure hosting you and I’d love to welcome you back anytime!
This property was NOT as listed. I had hoped a previous post rating it 2/10 (which has since been deleted) was wrong. It was not. It is located on the beach, has washer/dryer, and dishwasher that works (but has some broken parts). That is all I can say about it that is positive. - There is no screened in porch. Period. - Due to overgrown landscaping you cannot see the water from the porches, at all. Between this and lack of screened in porch, you cannot enjoy the outside in the afternoon/evening, unless your bug repellant is better than ours!- There were not enough comforters for the beds. - The last tenant’s laundry was still there when we arrived and it was still there on the bottom porch when we left. - If there is any rain at all you may need more than a sedan to get off the road through the driveway. Expect deep, standing water. Super fun when you are taking out the trash. - There are no plug-ins in the bathroom. - Cabinets and drawers in kitchen do not work great. I’ve asked the management company to update the listing for accuracy repeatedly since arriving, particularly in light of the now deleted review also reflecting no screened-in porch. It is really sad that you cannot trust these listings and get what you pay for.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I take great pride in maintaining my property and ensuring it is accurately represented in my listing. Regarding the screened porch and landscaping, the home’s outdoor areas are accurately depicted in the listing photos. While the landscaping grows seasonally, it is regularly maintained, and I encourage guests to reach out if they have concerns during their stay so I can address them promptly.
Concerning linens, comforters, and previous guest laundry, I provide a full set of towels and bedding for each stay. When issues are reported, I immediately dispatch my team to resolve them. I regret any inconvenience caused in this instance and encourage future guests to report any shortages upon arrival so they can be corrected immediately.
Regarding driveway conditions, kitchen cabinets, bathroom plug-ins, and appliances, the home is regularly maintained, inspected, and repaired as needed. Appliances and fixtures may show normal signs of use, but I ensure that all systems are functional and safe for guests.
I understand your frustration with the accuracy of listings and want to emphasize that I respond promptly to all concerns and take steps to maintain a high standard for the property. I regret that your experience fell short of expectations, but I consistently work to ensure the home is safe, clean, and enjoyable for all guests.
