At booking the owner decided that, despite it being a 4 bedroom home, she would only allow us to use 2 bedrooms because she thought that was all we were entitled to since we would be paying the Off Season price. We arrived to a terrible musty odor on the first floor and sinks that were not clean. We did not bother to contact owner. We simply cleaned them, opened the windows, and moved on. Day 3 we tried to do laundry and the washer was broken. Contacted the owner. She acted surprised and was apologetic. Her caretaker arrived the next morning and said he had been there 3 weeks ago for the same problem and that the machine should be replaced. When we asked for compensation she was literally shouting at me over the phone and suggested that I go to the laundromat, stating that “it will only take you 15 minutes”. Laughable. In her tirade she decided to accuse us of breaking the washing machine. Then, as we were driving home she texted us to accuse our dog of peeing on the carpet. Absolutely false. There were stains on that carpet when we arrived. Likely they contributed to the stench. We have been VRBO customers for over 20 years and we have NEVER had a conflict. This owner does not seem to understand the concept of Off Season Pricing. She treated us terribly, insisting that she was giving us such a discount. How dare we ask for a washing machine that works! How dare we ask to be compensated! How dare we expect to use all of the bedrooms and bathrooms listed!

We were looking for a pet friendly house that is clean, simple, and close to the beach, and that's exactly what we got. We were also very happy with its location, just inside the Cape Hatteras National Seashore. You have the true Outer Banks feel, but it's only a short drive to the shopping district if you need supplies.

Our family enjoyed this comfortable home just five minutes from the beach. Quiet neighborhood and fantastic sunrise and sunset views.

The property is wonderful - bright, airey and beachy! Easy access to the beach. South Nags Head is away from the crowds - great location! Laila and Ridley are gracious and attentive hosts. Our family had a fantastic vacation!

We enjoyed our week at Nags Tail with our adult children. It was a convenient & easy walk to the beach. A comfortable house to relax in.

My family of 5 had a fabulous time at Nags Tale. This cottage really had everything one could ask for. Some of the things we enjoyed were: - close proximity to the beach - the pretty grounds with the bbq grill and hammock - the outdoor shower - the fantastic amount of living and sleeping space - kitchen with all the cookware and utensils - the views from the deck - the two sitting rooms to unwind and relax - the charming decor throughout the house - nearby restaurants and seafood markets (Whalebone is a must) There’s more I’m sure I’m forgetting but if you’re looking for a property near the beach with all the amenities for a family this is it. The host was responsive and will take care of any questions and concerns. Two thumbs up!

This is a nice, quiet neighborhood and the walk to the beach was quick. We had a fairly rainy week in the Outer Banks so while in the house we liked that the house had the living area on the top level, and particularly liked the ‘sunroom’ overlooking the ocean.

Loved the location of this property! It was quiet and relaxing in South Nags Head. The beach was only steps away and we loved that we didn’t need to drive for days. The only reason I’m giving this a 4 overall is that the downstairs was very outdated and could use some renovations.
