545 OBX Retreat

Beautiful Week at the Beach

This was a great little place to rent near the beach! We were very impressed with the cleanliness of the place given the current pandemic. It suited our needs very well with our party of four adults and two small children. The listing accurately advertises the proximity to the beach. As an FYI to anyone who may rent this in the future, there is a private access point directly accross the street, which is closer, but requires you hiking up a small dune to get to the beach. However, if you walk 100 feet north up the street, there is a public access, which is much easier to use because there are stairs and there is a boarded pathway. Also a major pro to anyone traveling during the pandemic: OBX beaches are always amazingly un-crowded, and this Nags Head beach did not disappoint. It is easy to keep your distance from other people on the beach. However, I recommend wearing a mask on the pathways to the beach as some people dont have manners and will get near you without a mask. Some things that were not clear from the listing, but we were surprised and happy with: there was a gas grill, hose, and fully stocked kitchen (several pots, pans, dishes, tupperware, cooking utensils).

The only downsides of this place: (1) I wish we knew that linens actually were going to be in the place (I think it might be an extra cost) because it was a lot of extra stuff to bring with us. (2) The WiFi did not work for all but one of us - that was a bummer, but did not impact us too much. (3) We were not able to check in until 4 pm on Saturday, which was pretty tricky with traveling with little ones.

Overall, great place and would recommend this rental and location to others! We had a beautiful week at the beach!

Clean and comfortable home
This house was absolutely perfect for two small families to share for the week! It had everything we could have needed and more: the kitchen was beautifully stocked, the layout of the house was ideal for each family to have separate sleeping spaces, and it was so close to the beach! We were all so impressed with the cleanliness of the place and quality of the furniture. The decorations were all so fitting for an adorable beach home and it was clear this house was well-maintained. Having 3 small children with us, it was so reassuring to be on the cul-de-sac and know they had a safe place to ride bikes and play off the main road, but also being just driving minutes away from any store we needed! Highly recommend Atlantic Realty and this home!
