Classic Beach House
This was a really enjoyable, vintage beach house. It was convenientnto use an elevator to bring in a carload of supplies. The kitchen is well equipped, and the beds were comfortable. It is a great house for hide and seek! There is plenty of seating available and the 4 full bathrooms were convenient. The one thing the house could use is better lighting. The ceiling lights are almost too much and there was only one floor lamp in the livingroom area. The bedrooms had table lamps that needed brighter bulbs. So, if you are looking for a classic beach house with lots of room, this one is great!

Forbes Fever
Nine family members ranging in age from 28 to 86 enjoyed a week at Forbes Fever in mid March, 2023. Our stay was delightful. We came from Kansas, St. Louis and Wake Forest. The house allowed us plenty of together space but also allowed us to have our own private spaces. The home is lovely with a well equipped kitchen and a large dining room table that accommodated everyone and was a great place for playing cards and working puzzles. We were there preseason so it was cold some days but we enjoyed the walks along the ocean even if we had to bundle up. This was a great central location for visiting Hattaras and Roanoke and Manteo. Our party also included a seven year old Wire Fox Terrier who thoroughly enjoyed himself. We loved staying in this charming beach home. The elevator was a bonus and really helpful for my mother.

Coziest Christmas imaginable
Forbes Fever is a gem. She is an Old Girl, but well maintained, clean, and cozy. New updates to baths noted, and decking updates started as we left. It was fully stocked, even with spare heaters and blankets tucked away as it was 10 degrees one day. Elevator was great for grandparents and for our old dog whose back went out during the stay. The outdoor space was amazing. View from upstairs is beautiful and the direct walkway to beach was nice. Our dogs had the time of their lives! It was completely dog friendly but you would never know dogs had been there (no smells, hair, fur, stains, scratches, wear and tear). The layout is unique but cool. It allows for cozy nooks and separation of space, but with large common areas. There are 2 upstairs, not connected to each other on second floor. This allowed for the older kids to have their own "kid's floor" on 2nd floor. The property management company was very responsive, even on a holiday. They were very kind and easy to work with. Location is very convenient to shopping, outlets, entertainment, lighthouses, pier, restaurants, veterinarian and urgent care, groceries, pharmacy, etc. Best of all Ocean Front. We had family come in from all over NC for Christmas, we brought a full size, pre-lit tree, decorated it with shells and coastal ornaments, drank eggnog, baked cookies, exchanged gifts, and played games. When I have read books set in beach cottages, this is what I imagine. It is very cozy but surprisingly spacious and can accommodate large families. The mid century coastal decor and original door latches are perfect! We did not get to use the pool or utilize the decks and gazebo this time, but we hope to visit again in warmer weather!

Loved the house!
Loved the Old Nags Head Style! We need a large property for our family vacation & this property fit the bill! The dogs were able to enjoy their stay with easy access to the dog run too! We were a little hesitant after reading reviews with the maintenance/linen operating out of the underside out of the house but there were absolutely no issues and we did not even know anyone was there. The pool, decks and access to the beach are excellent and we were all able to enjoy all our favorite parts of OBX - swimming, boogie boarding, crabbing, fishing, building sand castles - all of it! The rental company is by far one of the best I've rented from and went above and beyond even after our stay was over.
