Best week ever!!
This house was one of the best we have ever stayed at. Jeanne, the host, provided everything that you could need for a week at the beach. But the one thing you never knew you needed…turtles! Feeding the turtles was one of the best experiences we had all week. We went out with a mix of cantaloupe, watermelon and kale chopped up in small bites and they came from all over the pond for a snack. We could not wait to feed them every day. The house is beautiful but you must go out back and feed the turtles if you stay here.

Very nice stay for a week. Great communication with owner. House is very clean. Location within an easy walk or bike ride to a plaza with a Food Lion, Market Express, Duck Bonut, Dollar General etc. Can walk or bike ride to pool and beach access but must cross four lane highway which has a traffic light and crosswalk at both intersections. Beds comfortable. Just a reminder, if you have small children that might have an accident, only one set of sheets for each bed…may be good idea to bring another set. Enjoyed mornings and later evenings on back top deck overlooking the pond and 13th hole. Our grandchildren enjoyed feeding the turtles in the pond. Beach toys and chairs available for use. Charcoal grill was used a couple times. Very quiet for sleeping. Used the primary bedroom walk in closet for our grandson. Pack and play fit perfectly. Kitchen, although small, has everything needed to cook meals. We played some of the games provided. Complex good for bike riding with younger children….ages 4-7.

Perfect Fit
We are a family of four and this house fit perfect for us. The house was very clean and the best stocked house I have stayed in at the Outer Banks. The owner is wonderful very prompt with any questions and helped us feel right at home. My children enjoyed the turtles in the pond. They checked on them daily and even gave a few of them names. Gorgeous sunsets and the sound side park within walking distance is wonderful. We enjoyed the included passes to the village beach club. Very convenient location, grocery store and shops in walking distance.Overall our stay was amazing and I would absolutely stay at Carolina Cottage again!Thank you for all the memories!

Beautiful location, great stay
Beautiful location on a quiet pond with gorgeous sunset views on back porch every evening. 3 levels: master bed/bath on bottom with closet big enough for 2-3 pack and plays if you need (our one year old slept here). Bedroom 2 (queen) and bedroom 3 (2 twins) on middle split level with bathroom. Family/dining/kitchen on third level with sliding door and deck overlooking the pond. Beach toys/chairs in garage closet, towels, linens, kitchen fully stocked w/ pots, pans and everything we needed to cook for 6 people. My 3 year old loved feeding the friendly turtles every day (there were literally 15). Location was a quarter mile drive (across highway) to the private ocean beach location included with the stay. Great spot. Upon arrival we did have to sweep/mop because of a mishap with the owners housekeeper, but the owner was very responsive and apologetic and clearly from other reviews this is not the norm and was outside of her control. Coffee pot was also broken but thankfully we brought keurig pods; though we would recommend upgrading to an actual keurig for a better quality brew; interesting aftertaste…just a note :) Overall enjoyable stay!

Perfect OBX getaway
We visited the OBX to cemebrate our 15th wedding anniversary as we were married on the beach at Kitty Hawk Pier. We traveled with another couple who live in VA Beach. My husband commented several times how perfect the place was. We especially enjoyed watching all the turtles in the pond (we counted about 15!) And star gazing at night. We walked part of the golf trail and found the bayside pier area which is fantastic. Great communication from the host and we also loved the reading exchange library!

Carolina Cottage Our haven in Nags Head
This home has been our base camp as we prepare for our daughter's wedding this fall. It feels like a second home for our visits.Always clean upon arrival and everything has always been in working order. It is convenient to all the local venues and perfect size for our family of 5.Really enjoyed the lake side view each morning and Jeannes friendly emails checking in our visit is a great touch.This home has been a lifesaver as we progress in our wedding plans. Knowing we have a great home for our visits to Nags Head allows us to focus on our wedding plans.

The house was perfect! The views, the fun layout, activities and games to play during down times and the location right next to the grocery store was very helpful. We were right next to EVERYTHING but still felt like we were on our own little private vacation on a pond and golf course. We still managed to do all the tourist activities we had scheduled and still loved hanging out in the house playing card games, watching TV, eating leftovers, and watching nature from the balcony. The whole check in and check out process was super easy and we were extremely grateful the owner had some beach chairs we could borrow. Definitely staying here again when we come back!

Great property! Centrally located
The property was in great condition, very clean and has a nice homely feeling! Our kids ended up sleeping in the same room so we did not use all the bedrooms but they were all really cozy. All the equipment worked great. We made good use of the beach gear that is available when renting the property.Instructions were clear and the check in and check out process seamless! The house is ideally located to visit the Outer Banks and there are lots of restaurants and grocery shops just minutes away. On top of the property itself, Jeanne, our host, was very responsive before and during our stay and provided great tips on things to do. We highly recommend the Beach House and hope to come back soon ourselves!

This is our second stay in as many months and coming back to the cottage almost feel like a second home now. The house is clean, stocked with all the basic suppliers. Planning for a wedding can be stressful. But knowing that we have a great little cottage in Nags Head for our base camp makes these trips almost fun.Great location close to all the event sites we need to visit and very comfortable furniture to help unwind at the end of the day.
