The house is in a great location and access to the beach is nearby. Shopping and great restaurants are near in the Whalebone area and also Manteo.I would recommend up grading the grill, perhaps buying a combo k-cup/coffee pot coffee maker and including a griddle or a large frying pan to assist in cooking for large families. There was insufficient paper towels and toilet paper which we bought and left at the house.Overall, we were happy with the accommodations.

Thanks for your review, we take our guests comments seriously. Toilet paper and paper towel is a complimentary starting supply for guests when they arrive. We do not supply a week’s worth. The welcome letter explains what we provide. When you refer to the grill did you mean the outside barbecue grill? Thanks for your suggestions.

Property was just as described. Great loctaion in South Nags Head close enough to everything you would need but remote feel in a quiet neighborhood. Host was extremely cfast to reply to all communications which I found extremely refreshing. Yard could have used a mow and there is no recycling bins.

Thanks for the review. Apologies for the tall grass in the lawn. Our caretaker was ill on July 26 with respiratory problems. He wanted to come and mow the lawn on Monday. Ivan didn’t feel to disturb you. If you would have notified, we would have taken care of the lawn immediately. We absolutely believe in recycling but most of the neighbors didn’t wanted to pay extra for recycling. We were advised to drop off the recycle items in the recycling center. Next year we will add the recycling center information in our welcome letter. We take our guests reviews seriously. Thank you.

Perfectly close to the beach and secluded!

Our stay at Nags Tale was wonderful! The home is in excellent proximity for close beach access, and the area does not feel crowded compared to farther north in Nags Head. The home offered everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We’d enjoy staying here again!

Good place in a great location

We were looking for a pet friendly house that is clean, simple, and close to the beach, and that's exactly what we got. We were also very happy with its location, just inside the Cape Hatteras National Seashore. You have the true Outer Banks feel, but it's only a short drive to the shopping district if you need supplies.
