I stayed for two weeks in October. This property was beautiful and clean. The host was very responsive even though I had no issues. The photos of the view don't do it justice. It appears that the view is limited but you do have a nice view of the ocean. Be aware that there are many steps. Access to the beach is very nice and close. I would definitely stay here again.

I couldn’t have been more pleased. The cottage is lovely. Everything was clean, the host was efficient from start to finish and the location perfect, as expected. I wanted my children and grand-babies to have an “Old Style” Nags Head experience and they did.
