Enjoy a 2-minute walk to the beach and ocean views from the front porch, dining room and living areas. THIS LISTING IS FOR THE UPSTAIRS ONLY - Three Bedrooms and 1.5 baths. There a separate detached one-bedroom unit with full kitchen downstairs available on its own or with the upstairs as one house. The full house is available with a link to that listing. https://www.vrbo.com/9360979ha?_ga=2.45235876.1495161629.1644692002-1728213974.1617496795&preferlocale=true&uni_id=8431996&vgdc=HAUS

The space
THIS LISTING IS FOR THE UPSTAIRS ONLY. PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE LISTING BEFORE BOOKING.

This is a classic (older) but updated Old Nags Head beach cottage with two separate units - upstairs three bedrooms, 1.5 baths and downstairs one bedroom, one bath - both with full kitchens and living areas.

Guest access
You will have access to the common areas outside, (shared) laundry downstairs, (shared) hose and outdoor rinsing shower for sand removal, and the entire upstairs living quarters.

Other things to note
Parking is in the driveway only. On-street parking is not allowed. The driveway may be shared with guests in the unit downstairs. 2 CARS MAXIMUM for this listing. The downstairs unit shares a driveway with a 1 car maximum.

PLEASE READ! We ask that you and your guests/family be courteous and mindful of the other guests staying below with regards to noise, parking etiquette, and the shared laundry and outdoor shower areas.

Guests are generally responsible for their own charcoal and staples, however, they may be in the house and you are welcome to use what you find there - we try to keep things stocked with basics for cooking and cleaning to make the unit as comfortable as possible for guests but we don't guarantee any particular item. With regards to paper products - we ONLY supply the first roll of toilet paper and paper towels complimentary. Guests are responsible for paper needs above and beyond that.

This is a vacation rental and a duplex - not a hotel. We know you are on vacation but do ask our guests to be willing to cooperate with each other (AND US) and assist with things that go along with a house rental and situation with some shared areas - this includes parking, use of beach gear and the laundry room, trash rollout, etc. If necessary, this also includes assisting us with letting service providers in and communicating with them if necessary to fix or troubleshoot an internet or other rare issue. By booking, we assume you have read, understand and are okay with this. We are friendly and laid back but conscientious people and find that our listing is best suited for the same type of guests.

Guests must roll out the trash carts in and out for trash pickup as designated by the signs in the unit. (We will send reminders as well). Thank you for your assistance in advance!

We do have a camera on the house that is motion activated and has a spotlight to monitor parking. The only area that can be seen with the camera is the parking area.

Nice Nags Head stay
Home is as described. Older but what we expected. Nice sized living space for 6 adults. 1.5 baths BUT the outdoor shower with warm water meant never fighting over shower time! We loved that. Very close to the water, an easy walk. When we needed the owners/managers, they were very responsive, with hours. The little boys who visited us were thrilled with the working arcade game!

We loved sitting on the deck and listening to the waves. The beach is right over the dune. The many games were a big hit with my 12 and 13 yr old grandchildren. The beach chairs and other accessories were a definite plus. I absolutely loved staying here. It was exactly what we were hoping for. Annette and Greg were quit to reply with any needs. Cant wait to come again. I would absolutely stay at this property again.

Quick trip
We only stayed Friday - Monday. The house was super close to the beach. Very well equiped w essentials and then some. Not just your typical 1st round of toilet paper and paper towels. There were plenty of spices, cooking supplies, trash bags, dish soap, hand soap etc. Definitely check it out before running to the market. An added bonus was the record player w a variety of albums, yes vinyl, & Old school arcade game. Our hosts were great. We came in on a bad weather day (hurricane Ian). They reached out to make sure we made it safely. Spoke to both Annette and Greg during our stay. Great people.
