When you book, let us know who will be staying in our house; brief info is fine. :)
We like to know who you are, as this house is our home. Questions? See FAQs below, or send us a message!

**NOTE: BUNK BED WEIGHT RATING IS FOR CHILDREN. ONLY.**

*******

FAQs:

- LOCATION: South Nags Head at MP 20. 3 miles from Jennette's Pier (North) and 3 miles from Bodie Island Lighthouse (South).

- HOW MUCH? Use the detailed price calculator. Tax and fees (other than pet fee) are included in the price. Cleaning fee is $100. Pet fee is a flat $50 for up to two dogs. PAYMENTS/DEPOSIT? Payments are split into three installments.

- HOW FAR TO THE BEACH? Two blocks from door to sand...under three minutes. The listing includes a video of the walk to the beach. We're positioned directly across from the beach access across the road. Please only use our bridge. Children should be supervised when crossing the bridge and road.

- WE PROVIDE ALL LINENS AND BATH TOWELS FOR YOU. We have a pack and play, but please bring your own sheets for baby. We provide courtesy beach towels, but they are not part of the linen service...you are responsible for washing those.

- DO I HAVE TO BRING MY OWN TOILET PAPER & OTHER INCIDENTALS? Yes. However, we provide starter rolls of toilet paper and paper towels. You must provide all incidentals for yourselves (bathroom items, laundering items, and food).

- DO YOU ALLOW PETS? Yes, DOGS ONLY, for a flat $50 fee. Two house-trained dogs, max; no exceptions. No weight limits (really). Dogs are not allowed on bedding or furniture. Note that we do not have a fenced yard.
CAN MY DOG WALK ON THE BEACH? Yes. Leashed pets are allowed on Nags Head beaches year round. Leashes must be no longer than 10 feet.

- CHECK IN AND CHECK OUT? You can arrive as early in the AM as you want on your designated check-in day. You must leave by 2PM on your check-out day or we are charged an additional cleaning fee.

- HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN I BRING? 6 adults, two children...no more than 8 people. It's a small house. There are two queens, two twins, and the last room has twin bunk beds rated for **children only**.

- DO YOU OFFER REFUNDS? Our rental agreement states that you must give 30 days notice to receive a full refund, but we understand that life happens. Inform us asap if you can't honor your reservation. We offer full refunds for pandemics, hurricanes, named storms, or if your charter fishing trip is cancelled beyond your control. We do not offer refunds for rainy weather.

- ACCESSIBILITY: We do not have a ramp or elevator. One must be able to navigate 12 steps in order to enter the house. The town maintains the beach access, which is a walkway connected by stairs on either side. There is a dune, but it is tough to navigate around the stairs depending on what the weather has done to the sand. Keep in mind that beach wheelchairs, strollers, and beach carts may not be able to easily access the beach from our access across the street.

- DO YOU PROVIDE CHAIRS, UMBRELLAS, TENTS, ETC?: We provide some chairs as a courtesy to our guests, but this is not an official amenity. Chairs, tents, and umbrellas are high turnover items, so we can't guarantee stock at any given time. We typically have approx. 4 backpack/cupholder chairs in stock. We recommend that you rent your larger beach items. Rental prices are reasonable, and rental companies carry high quality products that hold up well.

- I HAVE MORE QUESTIONS! Please ask. We always respond to questions about the house or the OBX. We work hard for vacation time and understand that you need your beach trip to meet your expectations!

Caren & Deeter, Our family of four adults and two dogs enjoyed our New Year's holiday stay at Strandhaus . We loved its quiet location away (but not too far away) from the commercial areas and only a short block to the beautiful beach and dunes which we visited every day. Strandhaus also is located in between Pea Island NWR (we observed pelicans, egrets, herons, ibis, numerous ducks, yellow-rumped warblers, turkey vultures, and more) and Jockey's Ridge State Park dunes, our two favorite sites on this trip. Thanks for those recommendations, and for the sunny days! Your rental home is warm and cozy. The outside raised platform gave us wonderful 360 degree views, particularly of the dunes and ocean, and of sunrises and sunsets. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen met our needs, as we made all our meals in the house. You even provided a step stool in the kitchen, which was appreciated by our short-statured family. Thanks for providing us with such an enjoyable New Year's retreat. Ron & Carol

Great place to stay
My family really liked the house. For five of us adults and adult-sized teens, it felt roomy and spacious. The house had everything we needed. It was a quick, easy walk to the beach, and we were in decent distance from our sight-seeing ventures.

Best Stay Ever
It was literally everything we could have needed. Such a close easy walk to a beach that wasn’t crowded. Sitting on the deck at night watching the stars was incredible. I will definitely be visiting again!

About the host

Hosted by Caren/Deeter

Host profile image
We live and work in the Raleigh area, and spend time at our house in Nags Head whenever we can. When we can't be here, we enjoy sharing our home with others.

We hope that, over time, our OBX house reflects our interests and philosophies. This is very much our home, and we love being here. Please respect it like you would your own home.

Why they chose this property

We love South Nags Head. It's quiet and somewhat secluded, there are many full-time residents, the beaches are clean and wide, and there is easy access to restaurants, bars, and shopping. Our house is close enough to the beach that you won't mind the walk. The Outer Banks has a small town feel...it's quiet and people are friendly. Don't forget to wave to folks, and be mindful of everyone's desire for peace and quiet. If you need to get away from your fellow vacationers, take a half-hour's walk South on the beach; the houses disappear and the beach becomes secluded parkland.

What makes this property unique

Ocean and sound views. Dark skies at night. Plenty of room underneath the house to: wash off the sand in the outdoor shower; wash your car; clean your fish; grill out; store outdoor toys; relax on the porch swing; or have a beer at the picnic table. There's also a crows nest, a front deck, and two porches on the back.

Strandhaus adopted the stretch of beach that you'll be relaxing on. Help us keep it clean!
