Perfect Family Vacation House
This house was wonderful for our little family getaway. The location was walking distance to a great bar with food at the pier. Great private access to the beach. Beautiful view of the pier and ocean. The owner was readily available for a few small questions. Highly recommend this house!

Perfect relaxing location
The location on the beach with the back windows and porch all facing a clear view of the ocean rolling in was just what we were looking for. Being early season, it was nice to be able to enjoy the ocean sitting in the hot tub. The house isn’t luxurious, if that matters to you, but it’s very roomy and open, and has everything we needed. Definitely would go again.

Girls Getaway
While the property is dated and a bit worn in some areas, it's clean with comfortable beds and everything you need to relax. The location and view are absolutely amazing and couldn't be more perfect. Walk to the pier for a bite and a beer or listen to a band. Tourist areas are a bit further away so you feel out of the fray and immersed in the vibe of what makes the Outer Banks such a draw for many. We would stay here again.

Wonderful location!
The property was as described and communication was excellent. The location could not have been better! Walking to the pier to fish was easy and we could watch the fishermen from the porch. The house fit our needs (7 adults between 60-75). We had room to spread out and common spaces to visit. Was a beautiful view! Jockey's Ridge, a grocery store, and restaurants were close and easy to drive. Highly recommend.

Disappointed in the condition of the house and lack of amenities
The location of the property is 5 star. The house was worn and needs to be updated. All beds are extremely uncomfortable and had a piece of foam between the mattress and mattress cover. One piece of foam was torn into two pieces. Most of the furniture was a hodge pod; some looking like it was purchased from a used furniture store. The family room furniture was new and comfortable. We picked up bedding from a container outside the house and had to make the beds. We were surprised by a last minute email from the owner that we had to buy all supplies, trash bags, soap, dishwasher pods, etc. Total nightly cost of the stay was about the same I pay for a 5 star condo in Maui but it felt more like a Days Inn level property. When we contacted the owner about need for more towels, he responded quickly and accommodated the request. While we had a good time in the Outer Banks, the accommodations were disappointing.

Burial at Sea
Our entire family was at Nags Head for the Burial at Sea of our brother's cremation remains. This house was the perfect fit for us. The layout of the house is perfect and so comfortable and well-appointed with everything we needed to take care of meals. The ice maker was a big hit!! We so enjoyed the hot tub after a hectic few days before we arrived at Nags Head. I have used VRBO several times at different locations and always take along my cleaning supplies, mop and bucket, but this time the house was in perfect condition we did not have to lift a finger to clean anything, first time ever! A huge Thank You to Mike and his crew for making our stay so enjoyable and also arranging an early check in time. Next time in Nags Head we hope this house will be available to rent as it was not only perfect for our family but now such fond memories and the connection to our brother.

Thank you for a lovely home and stay. We plan to return next year! Everything we needed! Coffee overlooking the ocean on the back deck. Ice machine to keep the daily beverages cold. Grill for cooking out. Hot tub for cooler evening with an ocean view. Nice pool to relax in. Easy access to everything the outer banks has to offer including our favorite restaurant The Outer Banks Brewing Station.

Absolutely loved!
An absolutely beautiful property right on the beach and beside Fishheads at the pier. They open Easter. We enjoyed being in the jacuzzi on the back deck looking out at the ocean. The beds and furniture are very nice, unlike some beach rentals. They have kept the place up to date and fresh. It was great when my parents stopped by that they could enjoy the view of the beach fully on the back deck since they have aches and pains at their age. We completely, absolutely adored this rental. Crazy 70 degree weather this weekend. We enjoyed watching the sun rise from the master bedroom without even getting out of bed. You can also see the beautiful moon rise!

Perfect beach house, amazing vacation experience!
We had a great stay at this property! We found this house to be quiet, just a few steps away from the hustle and bustle of nags head, but still close enough, five minutes or less, to do mini-golf and the adventure park with the kids. Beds were comfy, bathrooms were spotless, decor was beachy. Plenty of beach chairs at the house, uncrowded beaches, quick walk to Fish Heads for happy hour and fishing on the pier. Mike, the owner, was very responsive to our questions and gave great recommendations for family activities! We love to cook and eat out at the beach and found the kitchen well-appointed with all necessary items for our low country boil—crab crackers and giant pots—everything. We got seafood from whalebone seafood market (suggested by the owner, Mike)—AMAZING!!! Fresh from the ocean!! If given a choice we ALWAYS rent through VRBO or direct from owners—our last experience in OBX was with a prominent property management company and we had nothing but issues with communication! We have already booked this property for next summer and are so excited to return!! Thanks, Mike!! This house is the complete package and we had an amazing experience!! Thank you for sharing this home with us!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Paradise!
I was a little hesitant to book this house after reading the recent reviews. I am glad I reached out to the owner, Mike! He assured me there were no issues with bugs. Since we are from South Carolina we are familiar with midges and palmettos—and it sounds like the previous guests may not have been. With that said—- my family and I had the BEST vacation! The house is just like PARADISE. It was very clean and bug free. The morning sunrises on the back deck were priceless! The beach was NEVER crowded and our kids played until the early evening. We walked over to eat lunch at Fish Heads several times. (You must try the Tuna sandwich!) We have little kids so we really liked that the pool was not directly in the back yard, less of a worry of them heading out to go swimming on their own. The entire family enjoyed the hot tub all day and night. The house description and amenities are exactly as advertised. This is truly a traditionally classic beach house, what a GEM! We will be back! Thanks Mike for sharing your beautiful house with us!

ROACHES!!
Unfortunately we were unable to enjoy our stay here. Coming to celebrate my parents’ 50th anniversary, we were disappointed after a 9-hour drive to find several German cockroaches as soon as we arrived. I immediately contacted the property owner with pictures of the roaches we found, and he put me in touch with another property coordinator, Doreen. Although Doreen was very nice and sympathetic, they were unable to accommodate us at any other beachfront property nor did they offer to refund us. If it weren’t for my elderly parents who came only for the beachfront experience and were too exhausted to move, I would have left immediately. Even after an exterminator was sent out, we continued to find multiple live roaches daily throughout the entire house (even in the bedrooms!), which truly made for an unpleasant experience. The house is dated and in need of small repairs, but most importantly they need to stop renting for a while to handle the roach problem. For a place this expensive, dealing with a roach infestation is just unacceptable. Do yourself a favor, and pick one of the dozens of other beachfront rentals available along the Nags Head strip.

Would not recommend
The only reason for a two star instead of one star, is the location. The beach was beautiful and the property was close to places we wanted to see. However the house looked like nobody cares about it all. Although the exterior had recently been painted, a lot more effort is needed on the inside. Everything inside was old and worn. Kitchen and bathrooms were clean, but windowsills, stair carpeting and corners were loaded with dirt and dust. There were empty cups and bottles in the yard and under the house. The linen system was confusing… it wasn’t clear if what was left for us to make our beds up was clean or dirty (some were wrapped in plastic and some sheets were not wrapped and covered with sand. So I decided to wash all linens first. The manager was responsive and helped us with the hot tub issue and replaced one set of wrapped linens that were soiled. But a plumber never showed up for a clogged shower. Overall we tolerated the conditions because we didn’t want to be have a cleaning crew intrude on our family time there, but overall we would try a different place next year.

Not a good experience
A roach crawled out of the stove when we turned it on the first night so we looked around & found several more roaches- living & dead. We messaged the Host who promptly scheduled pest control. They pulled out the stove, saw roaches, and sprayed. They said the existing bait in the cabinets was still good. We killed roaches all week in the fridge, on counters, and in bedrooms. SO STRESSFUL! Also had dark/murky hot tub water due to no chlorine in the dispenser & very dirty filter. Maintenance had us drain & refill the water. Host was again responsive & apologetic. He offered a refund “14 days after the review period is over” and wrote: “we hope that you do not leave a public review about the roaches.” It’s hard to say if any amount of money could make up for roaches in your vacation rental, but we thought maybe we could feel satisfied that the owner had made things right with us. We naively asked if we could know how much before we would forego a review. We now understand this can be construed as extortion since Vrbo emailed telling us “the host has contacted us regarding your messages, saying that you requested a refund in exchange for a good review.” I felt terrible reading that email bc I was just innocently trying to decide whether I could say ‘this place was awful & I’d never go again’ or ‘there were issues but the owner totally made up for it.’’ But to be clear - refund or not - our honest review is that our whole vacation was really tarnished by all the roaches & drama :(

Quiet and close to beach and pier
this was a nice house. we enjoyed the beach views from the porch and hot tub. walking distance to pier and pier restaurant. beds are really showing their age but we were not picky sleepers. Had to make our own beds but I think we read this in the listing. I would stay here again but would hope the beds are refreshed by then.

An Amazing Time on the OBX
Our family of eleven -- with five grandchildren (ages 8-12) -- stayed at the OBX Classic Oceanfront from Monday afternoon through Saturday morning, September 23-28, and were well accommodated by this lovely Vrbo with its private access to the beach. We enjoyed this homebase immensely as our primary vacation experience with the sand, the waves, and the rising of the sun always available -- and with the hot tub and outdoor pool as pluses. Then we took our trips out to lovely experiences -- two lighthouses, The Wright Brothers National Monument, NC Aquarium, the sand dunes, laser tag, and of course wonderful restaurants. We enjoyed making meals together, morning coffees on the deck, and family movies in the evenings. As noted above, everything about our stay was exceptional!

We were bummed with the weather. We also thought it was weird you didn't supply just a few basics so when you get in late at night you don't have to find a store and buy toliet paper and hand soap. We left some for the next guests. PS We forgot to start the dishwasher. Sorry!
