Little Pink Cottage OBX - 50 steps to your Private Beach Access!
9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (78)
"We were in town for a wedding, so found a little spot nearby the venue. This was a perfect for our little group! Decor was tasteful- like a cute pink nautical cottage (sometimes beach rentals can be SO cheesy - this one is done well). Quick access to the beach, plenty of space on the screened porch to enjoy breakfast with the family or have a quiet cup of coffee while you listen to the waves. We plan to keep this spot on our radar and bring our daughters with us next time. "

Summer Special/RIGHT ACROSS from OCEAN/Fenced yard/pet friendly
9.4 out of 10, Exceptional, (83)
"My family has stayed at this cottage multiple times over the years when we visit the outer banks. The cottage is very accessible to the beach (just across the street from public access) and to the rest of nags head. The cottage is clean and small, but perfect for those who aren't looking for a whole mansion and like it cozy. Not the most up to date, but was exactly what we needed overall. Will use again!"

Seaside Cottage w/ Private Pier - 3 Miles to Beach
9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (19)
"Overall we enjoyed our stay at this property. We had read reviews noting the living room furniture and the mattress quality; however, we found that both features were comfortable. We did noticed that the floors were very dirty upon our arrival. For example, when in the living, we found clumps of blonde hair on the floor (my husband and I have dark brown/black hair). We also noticed that the bathroom, while by first glance looked clean, upon further inspection there were aspects that should have...

Oceanside luxury in Pine Island with private pool, hot tub, and game room
8.8 out of 10, Excellent, (17)
"We checked in on Thursday, September 26; called that night to report 2 tvs not working (and it wasn't wifi), texted about the tvs again on the 27th...never heard from anyone about the tvs. One toilet would not flush, someone finally came about 13 hours before check out. There were ants in the kitchen all around the stove and the glass top on the stove was cracked. We killed 3 spiders (2 WERE IN 2 DIFFERENT BEDS!!). Overall, the house was just not clean; it seems it has been neglected for several...

Sea Scape Beach and Golf Villas
3.5 star property
9.2 out of 10, Wonderful, (106)
"We are actually owners at this time share, but we were in a different unit not ours. As always we loved our stay at Sea Scape. As owners we notice a few things that needed attention, but staff are always helpful & friendly. As it is the off season & we were only there for the weekend it was very quiet & not at all crowded. This is an older property but it doesn't feel that way & they are constantly making little updates & changes where they can to keep it up to date. Definitely recommend it...
