My family and I had a wonderful time at this location. The house was very clean, nicely furnished, and had plenty of accommodations.The location of the house was also incredible. Located very close to the jockeys Ridge sound entrance. Highly recommend to anybody looking for a stay in Nags Head!
Property was beautiful, exactly what we wanted for a few friends to get together and celebrate my sister getting married next month. Easy access to beach and sound, everything we needed was included with the house. My kids loved the pirate ship out back- I would absolutely stay here again with them!
We loved the house and location. The playground and hot tub were a hit, house was clean and beds were comfy.

Excellent review! Thank you! One of our favorite amenities is the sunsets at the end of the street over the sound. They are breathtaking. A sunset followed by a dip in the hot tub makes for a perfect ending to the day. We’re so glad your group had the chance to enjoy the pirate ship play set.
Thank you so much for the 5 stars. You are a 5-star guest. We hope you choose us the next time you visit the outer banks.

Fantastic
We enjoyed our stay very much. It's a beautiful house with great amenities, nicely furnished with attention to detail and clean. The kids loved the pirate fort and the outside hot tub. One point to note is that the beach is a 15 minute walk. We will definitely book again!
We enjoyed our stay at Dunn Dreamin’. Great location near the center of the Outer Banks; easy drive to area attractions. Home was clean and nicely furnished; loved the comfortable decks.

The house was conveniently located to Pirates Cove and was fully stocked wich allowed us to be able to make lunches for the fishing trips and cooking light meals once we returned.

WONDERFUL 😁
We had an amazing time at this property! The house was perfect for our family of 5 and located close to all the attractions but far enough away to enjoy some peace and quiet. Everything in the house was clean & well taken care of! The bottom level was perfect for dinner & evenings in the hot tub! Definitely recommend staying at Dunn Dreamin!

Great family vacation
Everything was great! Plenty of room for our crew. 6 adults & 4 kids. The pirate ship went over very well for our 2 & 3 yr old babies! They played on it everyday I think. And the hot tub was nice too for the adults. We had a nice experience with Dunn Dreamin’ and our OBX vacation was a wonderful trip with our entire family!Thank you!
The place has everything! We brought bored games, just to realize that they were included! Towels in every room. Even towels just for the hot tub. You never run out of thing to do in the house or in the area. Just a blast all around

Off the beaten path
Nice property. You can walk to the dunes, which has a few nice trails, and the bay waterfront which has a small beach. However, having to drive everywhere else became somewhat burdensome (ocean, stores, mini golf, etc.. Property has a nice layout. A lot of mosquitoes by jacuzzi, grill was suspect, and outdoor tv didn’t work…

Whole Family Vacation
This was the first vacation that we had taken with our whole family since our children were younger. All 3 children are married and have started families of their own. We had my wife,myself, son, daughters and their spouses along with their children and 1 on the way.
We had a great time and enjoyed our accommodations. The home was well appointed and equipped with everything we needed to enjoy the Outer Banks. A hot tubs was added since our trip was booked. Everyone enjoyed the pleasant surprise when we arrived.

The Dunn Dreamin Team
We started a New Years Eve tradition at Dunn Dreamin and it didn’t disappoint. The house is obviously well cared for by owners and it was evident that a lot of pride is taken in the amenities provided. We enjoyed the hot tub, outdoor shower, and fully stocked kitchen. The neighborhood was nice, quiet, and just a block or two from sound side. We will be rebooking this house for next year if the guest list allows. Thank you for sharing your place with us.

What an awesome review! Thank you so much for staying with us and sharing your experience.
You are 5-star guests. We loved hosting you and your group. We hope to see you the next time you make it to Nags Head.
Many, many thanks for such a fantastic stay! The cottage was casual , comfy, and super clean with so many extras! Each sunset, we walked down to the water's edge and enjoyed the beautiful view with many friendly and welcoming neighbors.
The cottage was centrally located with the beach very close by, as well. We were able to do lots of exploring the area.
I definitely plan on staying here again!
Thank you for taking such good care of us and for going above and beyond!
Oh! The hot tub was divine :)

Everything you would get from a hotel, but even better because it's a whole house.
This booking came with everything we could have needed for a stay during a rainy week. We had a place to dry off between our adventures and our teenagers loved the hot tub (while their mom loved having instructions for how to use one properly).
The beds were all comfortable and bathrooms even came with hotel style soaps/shampoo/ lotion.
There was a sample of coffee selections and any dish or glass you could need. The pirate play set was a hit, and we even took some family photos on it.
The walk to the sand dunes was manageable and it was a quick drive to grab groceries or a bite to eat.

My husband and I planned this trip to enjoy our 1st wedding anniversary. Upon Arriving to the house, we noticed the outside provided a entertainment area with a Tv and a jacuzzi. Which my daughter enjoyed the Hot tube and watching her favorite cartoon. The house was very neat and clean. Linen and towels was provided, which was a plus. Pictures of the house on the Vrbo website matched our house for the week. The Sound side of the OBX was a 5min walk. My family enjoyed walking down and watching the water. There was one issue with internet and the cable. However, the Owner reached out to us and we were able to clear the situation up. My family really enjoyed their time and we would love to rent this property again.

Hi there, The owner wanted to pass this along: Thank you so much for the kind review. It was wonderful being able to host you and your family - you are certainly 5 star guests! We hope you decide to visit with us in the future. Thanks again for the wonderful feedback.
The property was clean and well appointed. Everything was exactly as advertised and the check in process was very easy. The home was in a nice “walkable” neighborhood and was close to Jockey’s Ridge beach access (sound side) which was nice and convenient.
