Weekend get away

Our family stayed at the writers retreat over Easter Weekend. The place is beautiful and so convenient to the beach, restaurants and the shoreline. Can't recommend it enough. The comms with the landlords was excellent and they went out of their way to make the stay wonderful. Would gladly stay again if in the Nags Head area.

Excellent Stay!

Writer’s Retreat was very clean and in the perfect location for us! We loved staying on the beach and the condo was the perfect size for us! The back patio was the perfect size as well! It is a quiet place to enjoy the outdoors! There is plenty to do, see and lots of places to eat close by, which we loved! We have nothing bad to say about the stay! We definitely recommend staying here!

Perfect Relaxing Getaway

It is hard to find properties right on the beach, and this property was right there and did not disappoint! Host communicated promptly always, super easy check in and out process. The stay came with lots of extras you don't normally have at a rental. Overall, fantastic and relaxing experience! We will book again when we go back!

A Beautiful & Peaceful Respite from the World

My husband & I stayed during the off-season at this beautiful beach condo in celebration of my 54th birthday. We enjoyed the crisp cool walk on the beach & listening to the waves at night & in the morning. The home is beautifully maintained & has everything you need for a relaxing stay.

It is a beautiful place on the beach—a good size for my friend and me. It is a ground-floor condo building next to other rental homes. The condo was clean and supplied to get you started with your stay. Another nice amenity—bed sheets came with the rental.

Off Season Stay

Great location! The condo is (practically) on the beach... It is close to restaurants and just a short driving distance to the sand dunes in Jockey's Ridge State Park, Bodie Island Lighthouse and the Wright Brothers National park. The condo itself is very clean, has all the amenities you may need and is quiet (off season). The host was outstanding... very welcoming, quick to respond and very kind.

Thanksgiving trip

This is the second time we have spent Thanksgiving in this condo. Well furnished and well equipped with anything you need. Good location too! Only complaint was the coffee pot…we were not used to this model and could not find any instructions. We finally figured it out. The door lock was rather difficult to see at night, but we managed. Thanks for this lovely rental!

On the beach

This little gem is right on the beach although the dunes obstruct the first floor view of the ocean. You still get the sounds of the ocean. Owners stated they do not provide beach chairs or umbrellas. Thankfully some kind soul had left a beach chair and umbrella. If owners are unwilling to provide chairs maybe provide a list of recommended rental sources. The unit was nicely furnished and clean. Although I was taken aback by an envelope left by the cleaners for a tip. As large cleaning fees are included; I've never experienced this before in an of my VRBO stays. I was told this is now quite common and was optional.

First OBX vacation!

This was our first OBX vacation but hopefully not our last! We went with another couple and loved our stay. The beach and weather were amazing. The condo couldn't have been in a better location. Because it is on the first floor of the building you can't see the beach due to the dune, but it is still relaxing to sit on the patio in the morning with your coffee and listen to the ocean. Beach access is right next to the condo building and the building offers an outdoor shower to rinse the sand off on your way back. Was perfect! The unit was plenty big for the four of us and had what we needed in the kitchen to cook a couple nights. The owners and property managers were very nice and responsive. One thing to note, however, we needed to supply our own paper goods (i.e. toilet paper, paper towels, facial tissue), hand soap, laundry soap, etc. I'd also bring extra towels next time as only one set per person was provided and because it's the beach... things don't hang dry that quickly! All in all - was a great stay!
