The Backyard - Nags Head, NC. Located in the most desirable location in Nags Head, this beautiful, totally renovated one bedroom is just 1/4 mile from the award winning beaches of Nags Head and one block from the stunning Roanoke Sound. The Backyard is the ideal retreat for a vacationing couple. This is a 100% smoke free home.
We have it all!! Beach chairs! Coolers! Bikes! Just show up with your bathing suit and beach towels and get ready to have a blast!
Completely renovated, our beautiful apartment for two is a true home away from home featuring one bedroom with a Queen bed, 32” HD TV, sliding French doors, custom tiled floor to ceiling mirror, one of a kind art, exposed beam hardwood ceiling with recess lighting, and a sitting area perfect for reading. The dresser provides ample storage space for clothes, shoes, and more. Blinds throughout provide your choice of sunlight or privacy.
With beautiful Island decor featuring unique art from the owner’s personal collection, the living room has comfy couch a 32” HD TV and love seat. This is cooled with central air for your comfort as well as ceiling fans throughout.
The fully equipped kitchen has a, microwave, refrigerator, stove with retro hood and hand laid stone backsplash, and everything you could desire to cook, prepare and serve a gourmet feast, heat left-over’s from the great assortment of fabulous restaurants surrounding our property or grill your fresh catch on the gas BBQ grill just out on the deck. The dining nook, adjacent to the kitchen has seating for 2.
The bathroom features a tub and shower and a beautifully tiled one of a kind mirror. Also, no Outer Banks rental would be complete without the essential outdoor shower! (Shared with owners) Enjoy your hot water shower under the sun or stars while the aroma of confederate jasmine fills your senses. Linens and towels are provided – just bring your beach towels.
After your long day at the beach come home and relax on your own backyard deck and enjoy the beautifully landscaped grounds with Koi pond and gardens throughout.
Also within walking distance of our apartment is a neighborhood sound beach. Here, you can enjoy spectacular views and sunsets! Bring your beach chair and relax.
We will make you feel right at home at The Backyard. This is a downstairs unit. We live upstairs. If you are coming to the Outer Banks to party, shoot off fireworks, and generally make a lot of noise this is not the place for you!! We live in a neighborhood of working people who are not on vacation. We will do our best to respect your privacy and stay as quiet as possible upstairs – just keep in mind that 3 people live upstairs and the normal amount of noise should be expected.
If you are looking for a Motel 6 or Holiday Inn type accommodation - this is not for you. But if you are interested in living with the real people of the Outer Banks - this might just be perfect. We are a laid back, fun family and offer to share our beautiful property with you and we are available to answer any questions you may have about local restaurants, etc. Whatever it is – having lived here for over 30 years – we’ve either done it, or know someone who has!
Completely restored, updated and uniquely furnished, we have missed no detail inside or out. You’ll find a cozy, turn-key-ready home away from home with everything you need for day-to-day relaxation.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
The property is a 100% smoke-free environment. This includes cigarettes, vapes, cigars, etc....Not only do I not allow smoking inside, this means you can not walk around my yard or stand in my driveway to smoke either. If you are a smoker- you might want to stay somewhere else.

The property is suitable for 2 people and one car.

Please check out our calendar for availability.

Pleasant surprise
The minute we walked into our place, we loved it! The place is funky, whimsical, warm and cozy, with such a good vibe. It's close to the beach and OBX attractions while feeling private in a quiet neighborhood. We will be back!

Labor day weekend trip
The Backyard was a nice calm after a day at the beach. Location was great, it was close to just about everything and in a nice quiet area of Nags Head. The apartment was clean, well stocked, great towels, and comfy bed. Thank you Sandra for such a great weekend! We'll definitely book for our next Nags Head trip.

Backyard Charm on Barracuda
We had booked the Backyard a couple of years ago but unfortunately Sandra was unable to host due to an accident. We knew that we wanted to rebook this year because the space looked so special and we’re glad we did! The Backyard was comfortable and convenient and so nicely decorated. Sandra was a great host and we loved our visit!

OBX Gem
Exeptional accomodation...clean, spacious, quiet, well stocked kitchen, beach supplies and comfy furniture/bed with great AC and fans for circulation. Private with outside space overlooking the yard. Fun eclectic beach vibe and excellent communication and availability of host. Safe and secure with driveway parking. Location was perfect for exploring north and south of OBX with restaurants and markets abound. Beaches are beautiful and widlife peaceful areas as well as martime history ( and some history in the air also...😉). Five star...loved it.
