Good location near many things to do. Try Nags Head Woods for hiking and the Collington Cafe fur a great dining experience. There's access to a dock for fishing or soaking up the sun and relaxation. Breakfast and coffee on the balcony was an every morning thing. If you love sunsets you'll be pleased here as well.

Eddie’s place is a perfect little oasis that captures the heart of NC charm. They are excellent hosts and very communicative throughout your stay. The space is immaculate and offers great views of the sound; it’s a perfect place to watch the sunset; the bikes and kayaks are also a big plus and the area is very safe and close to everything; I highly recommend a stay here for couples and hope to get back one day
