Booked Peppers cottage for my partner and I’s fourth Valentine’s Day together. This little cottage bungalow was perfect for what we were hoping! It’s small, intimate, and incredibly charming. The walk to the beach, both late at night under the stars or during the day, was easy and convenient. The amenities were wonderful, with the kitchen and bathrooms fully stocked. The WiFi was very good, as we were both able to game on the same connection. The proximity to all the wonderful attractions in Nags Head made this the perfect gateway! Check in and out was easy, and hosts were highly responsive and reliable.

This cottage was just the right amount of space for hubby, myself and our 2 dogs. The kitchen had everything you needed to eat in, the grill was big enough to cook a full meal all at once, the bed was pretty comfy, the couch was nice and we loved the porch area. The tv and it's remotes posed a bit of a issue as we never have used a tv like that before, but that was on us. We only had one complaint and that was the shower. It's small, totally get that, but the shower head blows water out covering 99% of the area you stand in from about 6 ½ feet with nowhere to step out and soap up, shave or wash your hair. I would HIGHLY recommend a new shower head with removable wand. It especially was an issue with me being 5'4,I just drowned in there so I used the outside shower to wash my hair. Other than that, it's perfect really!

Wonderful week in Nags Head. Peppers was just right for the 2 of us, and our dog loved it as well. Comfortable, clean and a very short walk to a great beach. Patio is lovely for drinks and stars. So glad we found it, and fully intend to return in the Spring for a couple of weeks.

Everything stood out! It was a perfect weekend get away for me. The cottage was exactly as I expected…small but very comfortable and had everything I needed, especially a full kitchen. Compliments to the host for having a well maintained property but, more important to me, being friendly and helpful throughout the whole rental process. Final note, the property is in a fantastic location on the ocean side and just a couple minute walk over the dune to the beach and minutes (without traffic) to all shopping and attractions. It was a WOW weekend for me.

A favorite place to stay

I have stayed at this cottage before as well as other Rentals on the Ocean rentals and every stay has been exceptional. The houses are older but so well taken care of and seem to be consistently updated on the inside and out as well as all of the amenities.

About the host

Hosted by Ronni Moldovan

Host profile image
Our Founder, Dr. Sarah Forbes passed away in 2011. She was a compassionate physician, dedicated to her patients becoming Norfolk General’s first female chief resident of OB/GYN.
In 1958, she became the first female physician to open a private OB/GYN practice in Newport News, VA.
Dr. Forbes was the first woman to be selected to the board, and the first female president, of the Boys and Girls Club of the Peninsula, where she was honored as a member of the “Wall of Fame” – the first and only woman to be so honored in the club’s 65-year history.

Sarah was often honored for her contributions to the organizations she served, and the community she loved.
Among her many awards were the Virginia Center for Inclusive Communities’ Humanitarian Award in 2007, and the Medallion Award which is the highest recognition presented by The Boys and Girls Club of America to volunteers.

She served as president of several community organizations that include the Virginia Peninsula Academy of Medicine, the Newport News Chapter of the American Cancer Society, the Newport News Medical Society, and the Peninsula Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

Her generosity benefited many organizations, including the Cancer Society, the Newport News Medical Society, the Peninsula Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, Family Planning Council, First Baptist Church of Newport News, the Peninsula SPCA, Mariners’ Museum, Riverside Hospital, and Christopher Newport University.

We are continuing Dr. Forbes’ Legacy
All of our vacation homes are owned by Sarah E. Forbes MD, Trust which continues her legacy by using our profits to make regular donations to the charities she loved.
We take care of the houses like she would have wanted.

Why they chose this property

This property is too cute to pass up.

Did you know? When Peppers was first built, Dr. Forbes rented it to a Catholic Cardinal.
He liked it so much that before he left, he blessed the cottage.
It has been our most popular couples cottage ever since!

What makes this property unique

Enjoy the quite neighborhood year round on the porch and soak up that sun and breath in the fresh air.
