This place was perfect from before we got there, through our stay and beyond. Everything was as promised. For us, the real treat and surprise was the simple things: beach chair, bbq grill, turtles in the overlooking pond, under home car port, dvd player, and great shower pressure. Really, the place was amazing and a steal of a price. Will be staying again! Thank you Jeanne.

Carolina Cottage was perfect!! It is exactly as described and Jeanne is the perfect host. She responded to our questions immediately and like a friend. It is in the perfect location to everything. The private beach access was the best, and easy to get to. I would recommend to anyone going to the Outer Banks. We will definitely be back!!

We stayed here over a holiday weekend that I ended up having emergency surgery BUT there were 2 excellent recliners that were perfect & comfortable for me to be in. Who would have expected that! She also provided pump hand soap! I alway have to go buy hand soap my first day of vacay so that was a nice touch. It was the perfect place for our family of 4. I would definitely recommend & we would stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Jeanne Howard

Host profile image
We first came to the Outer Banks on the recommendation of a co-worker in 1989. We fell in love with the area! We visited at every opportunity and finally bought Carolina Cottage in 2004.

Why they chose this property

We love the Village at Nags Head because of the pool that is right on the ocean. We also love the quiet walkable neighborhood. We love the pond in the backyard and the wildlife it attracts. Very private but yet close to shops and restaurants.

What makes this property unique

We believe everyone should have a stress free affordable stay at the beach. A place where you can rest, relax and unwind. We don’t over charge and we try to keep our fees to a minimum. Any profits we make are put back into the cottage to keep it clean, updated and comfortable for our guests.
