(Shared with owners) Enjoy your hot water shower under the sun or stars while the aroma of confederate jasmine fills your senses. Linens and towels are provided – just bring your beach towels.
After your long day at the beach come home and relax on your own backyard deck and enjoy the beautifully landscaped grounds with Koi pond and gardens throughout.

We will make you feel right at home at The Backyard. This is a downstairs unit. We live upstairs. If you are coming to the Outer Banks to party, shoot off fireworks, and generally make a lot of noise this is not the place for you!! We live in a neighborhood of working people who are not on vacation. We will do our best to respect your privacy and stay as quiet as possible upstairs – just keep in mind that 3 people live upstairs and the normal amount of noise should be expected.
If you are looking for a Motel 6 or Holiday Inn type accommodation - this is not for you. But if you are interested in living with the real people of the Outer Banks - this might just be perfect. We are a laid back, fun family and offer to share our beautiful property with you and we are available to answer any questions you may have about local restaurants, etc. Whatever it is – having lived here for over 30 years – we’ve either done it, or know someone who has!
Completely restored, updated and uniquely furnished, we have missed no detail inside or out. You’ll find a cozy, turn-key-ready home away from home with everything you need for day-to-day relaxation.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
The property is a 100% smoke-free environment. This includes cigarettes, vapes, cigars, etc....Not only do I not allow smoking inside, this means you can not walk around my yard or stand in my driveway to smoke either. If you are a smoker- you might want to stay somewhere else.

The property is suitable for 2 people and one car.

Please check out our calendar for availability.

Sandra’s place was really cute and comfortable with no stairs to climb. It was a nice, quite neighborhood and centrally located to places we came to see. Jockey’s Ridge National Park is less than a mile away and a must visit. Try Keyz NewZealand Ice Cream just down the road too.

This unit is delightfully whimsical. Everything you need is there. There is a lot of reading matter, including brochures for local attractions. The bed is very comfortable. There is a lot of space. The location is quiet and not far from restaurants and stores. Jockey's Ridge State park is just north, Cape Hatteras National Seashore, etc., are to the south. To the west, across the causeway and bridges, is Roanoke Island and Manteo with Fort Raleigh, The Lost Colony and NC Aquarium. The ocean is not far to the east, with numerous public access points. We had a lovely, relaxing visit, and would go again.

This was our second stay with Sandra and we had a wonderful experience! Her place is always clean, comfortable and convenient to anything we wanted to do. She’s super communicative and readily available if needed. Definitely stay here is you want the best of Nags Head and OBX! We will definitely be back!

Perfect place to spend some blustery fall weather at the beach. Totally everything you need to hunker down and be comfy. Add your own groceries or take out and enjoy the sweet comfort of this lovely place. I love visiting the coast in the off season but I can see this place would be ideal for all seasons in Nags Head. Thanks Sandra for making this place available.
