Great stay at Forbes Fever

The house is in a great location by the beach. Great spaces for gathering, grilling and relaxing in the pool or elsewhere. S. Nags Head is close to a ton of restaurants and other activities. Very family friendly and accessible. The rooms and beds were nice too, though there is a bit of a strange layout that meant my elderly parent in laws would come right out of the elevator into my wife and my bedroom. For that bedroom the en suite bathroom is shared with another bedroom. It's a small issue and one that might not be a problem for your group. Overall it's a great place, with great hosts on a stunning and perfect beach!

The best bang for your buck!

Everything about this property was a surprise. You could see the sunrise from one window and the sunset from the other in the top bedroom. You could walk straight out to the beach or stay in and play games. Our teens that came hardly spent time on their phones because they were so busy doing fun things! You did not have to go anywhere to have a good time, just stay at the house and enjoy all the amenities. The last surprise was the 2nd fridge!

Autumn Getaway with Family

Our family (including two pups!) all had a wonderful time at this beautiful home on the beach. The location was perfect for our needs, we loved being able to walk over the dunes to the ocean every morning. The kitchen was well stocked and everything was so clean! We are looking forward to staying here again, thank you!

Fantastic house if you’re bringing your pets to the Outer Banks.

I for one always get nervous when I get a pet friendly house even though I bring my pets but you cannot tell this was a pet friendly house. It was so clean and inviting. We will be back in November. I highly highly recommend booking any of their properties.
