Luxury Oceanfront home in South Nags Head!

10/10 Excellent

"My husband and I have been vacationing in the Outer Banks for more than 30 years, and this is the best house we have had. It is beautifully decorated, all of the equipment was operating well, the house was stocked with everything we might need from kichen gadgets to electric grill, t.v.'s in all the rooms, lots of gear for the beach, our host was readily available if we had any questions and she had kindly provided supplies we might need so we didn't have to rush to the store--things like paper towels, toilet paper, shampoos, body wash, sunscreen, spices, even some food and soda. There was so much natural light, and all of the sliding glass doors worked well (this is rare, especially for oceanfront homes). The last thing I want to add is that we have rented a number of homes where the houses we have rented do not look like the photos that are posted which clearly were either done by skilled photographers or the photos were taken quite some time ago and they do not reflect the current look/state of the home. Not so for this house as it was as lovely as it appears in the photos! What a delighful stay."

Oceanside Cottage Steps from the Beach! The Gray Sandcastle!

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay at the gray sandcastle! Short walk down the driveway to the beach great location. Tons of linens provided. Great amenities including beach chairs. Fun space with shuffleboard and the ring game. Note: there was major flooding at the end of the driveway due to unprecedented rains. If we had a car (and not an SUV) this could’ve presented a problem. But the owner indicated this was due to the week of heavy downpours prior to our arrival."

First Light: PierView Oceanfront Condo, Contemporary Vibes & Stunning Views

10/10 Excellent

"This beachfront condo was incredible! Hard to beat this location sitting right on the beach with breathtaking, unobstructed views of the ocean & Jennette's Pier. Located up two flights of stairs (we didn't utilize the elevator), it gave an incredible vantage point. The durable poly lumber furniture on the balcony was barstool height, giving a perfect view of the ocean without having to look through the balcony rails while sitting. It was the perfect spot to sit, watch the waves, feel the fresh ocean breeze, and completely relax. The condo itself was spotlessly clean, including the nice, updated bathrooms. Having an in-unit washer/dryer was a massive convenience. The beds were comfy and we slept well. The living room had a comfortable couch to relax and chat. We didn't use the TV or Wi-Fi. The kitchen was fully equipped with plenty of dishes, silverware, pots, pans, coffee maker, blender. The refrigerator was spotless when we arrived.The building offers private beach access via a sand path over the dune (no stairs or boardwalk). Walking through the deep sand over the dune was doable (not easy) but completely worth it once you made to the water! Communication was seamless. We missed the message stating the lock had been updated to keyless entry. The caretaker replied with our access code in less than a minute. Both host and caretaker were easy to reach, responsive and helpful. Had a wonderful, relaxing time. Would absolutely stay here again! Highly recommend."

Enjoy your magnificent ocean views from your huge balcony!

8/10 Good

"Nice clean furnishings. Refrigirator not equiped with ice maker. Dish towels not provided. Great location, great view of ocean and beach from balcony and from inside the unit.The Pier View condos are a oceanfront as it gets. We have vacationed here for 10 years straight and will return in 2027!"

Beach Renourishment Complete! Amazing Views! Large Oceanfront! 3 King Bedrooms!

8/10 Good

"Great house we loved it and would stay again. Our only complaint was having to buy a fan for the upstairs bedroom as it was extremely hot in that room and the ceiling fan was not pushing enough air."
