Reviews
The house was amazing and the views were even more spectacular
The host’s were amazing.Thank you Elizabeth and Lucas for a wonderful experience. The house was amazing and the views were even more spectacular. The house for engagement was worth every penny. Would love to book again!
Great sunrise views in the morning
Overall we had a nice stay in the home. Access to/from the beach was easy and short. Great sunrise views in the morning.
Excellent location in Nags head
Excellent location in Nags head. Beach access is perfect. House design is great for families.
Amazing Ocean Front
Our family enjoyed a beautiful sunny week at Ye Scurvy Dog!! The simplicity of walking right out on the beach was heavenly. We saw dolphins, rainbows, and a spectacular fireworks display right from the deck. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and plan on a return.
Perfect location
Perfect location with an excellent sleeping, dining, and entertainment arrangement.
Hosts were so helpful!
Thank you for all your help – we had a great stay!
Yea Scurvy Sea Dog
The house was located right on the beach. It was very convenient for our family of 8 2 infants for beach access. For our short stay we were satisfied to staying house bound, cooking our meals there and enjoying the ocean views. We were in communication with the host after an accidental break of tempered glass on the dining room table, but she was very understanding and told me not to “worry about it”. I would recommend future renters to pay attention to amenities offered but if you forget to bring something there’s plenty of stores nearby. I would recommend… Read more “Yea Scurvy Sea Dog”
Spectacular Views!
This was the perfect house for our family and friends getaway! We spent all our time enjoying meals and fellowship looking out of the big beautiful windows! Perfect setup with 3 master bedrooms! Did not want to leave!!!
Amazing views!
The location is great! The view is absolutely amazing! My husband and I enjoyed the sunrise from the deck every morning. The only thing I would recommend is an outside table to accommodate more people.
This place is magic!
The property is amazing, the owner made the process and experience flawless. The panorama view from the living room is priceless. We spent mother’s day weekend with our whole family and plan to return asap. We had everything we needed in the house and the neighbors were friendly. Would recommend to anyone looking for peace and quiet!
We had the best week here
We had the best week here with our pup. The views are perfect and the house spacious. It explains bring your own linens but don’t forget toilet paper and pillowcases. Also you’ll have to be creative with keeping sand out as the water hose is under the house and you have to walk back on sand to get to the front door. But Elizabeth was a great host, the place had everything we needed, and we’d stay again in a heartbeat.
Nice weekend stay
We rented Ye Scurvy Dog for an off season weekend. House was nice. Exactly as described. Great views from the wrap around deck and good access to the beach. Would stay here again.
Great Vacation
My family needed a well-deserved spring break mini vacation. And we found it at this beachfront home. My daughter told me that even though it was too cold to swim in the ocean, this was the greatest vacation that she has ever had, thanking me. To me, that’s all that needs to be said.
You cannot beat the location of this place.
You cannot beat the location of this place. The views were amazing and it was very secluded. For a dog friendly place it was above what I expected. Overall it was a lovely visit and would rent again.
We really enjoyed staying here!
We really enjoyed staying here! All the documents and entry instructions were very thorough and easy to follow, including photos. Each TV had its own laminated sheet of instructions for use as well. The kitchen was well stocked with dishware, cups, pans, and silverware. There were books, games, and movies available for use. There were no sheets, and only a few blankets, but this was very clear in the listing so it was not an issue! We were able to bring our own linens. We felt very safe there, and the view was amazing! Thank you for letting us stay… Read more “We really enjoyed staying here!”
A great deal for the perfect beach vacation!
A great deal for the perfect beach vacation! Right on the beach – just as described. Elizabeth was very responsive and helpful.
Everything was great!
Everything was great! Best thing I can say is that I will be back again and in this house.
Great Access
This place was as described. great access to the ocean. Loved the view from both decks and the dinner table. My group wants to come back again next year to the same place. Thanks for working so well with us
Wonderful stay on the beach
Great location right on the beach. Ocean views from living space and bedrooms are spectacular. Great house to stay with extended family and friends. Clean, spacious rooms. Fully stocked kitchen.
Wonderful house and location
Our family stayed April 10-14 and everything was so wonderful. We had a wonderful time our oldest said it was the best vacation we had been on. I highly recommend renting this house Elizabeth is a wonderful host. We hope to rent again in the future.
OBX Fam-cation
Oceanfront totally mitigates a week long Nor’easter. Upside: large great room with dining table to accommodate our family. and sleeping arrangements were good. Easy access to beach even for the little ones. Kitchen was well stocked with plates, bowls cups and glasses. Nevertheless, the whole family thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
New Years
Ye Scurvy Dog was a great place for our two families to celebrate New Years. House was as pictured & described. Spacious and wifi was good. Ocean front decks and bedrooms were wonderful.
Family reunion
Enjoyed our stay. Right on the beach easy to walk to sand. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets from both decks. Easy to cook and hang out . Plenty of room for our group. Would return on our next trip to OBX! Glad Hurricane Ian didn’t hit OBX!
Wonderful week
Never stayed right on the beach. Loved it. Beautiful Sunrises. Cottage was amazing. Will definitely stay again.
Wonderful view, perfect access
Our multigenerational family group of 11 folks were perfectly accommodated in this wonderfully situated house – it has a private beach access and very roomy family, kitchen, eating area – roomy outside shower could use some hooks on the walls as could one of the downstairs bathrooms – all in all everyone loved it and would go back
Lovely week
We had a great family reunion. Beach was perfect, House was great for all of us. Owners were lovely and it was the beach!!!! Thanks for a great stay!
Long weekend
The location of this property is fantastic! The sights and sounds of the ocean from your deck! This will be our destination for getaways from now on!
Our amazing stay
The Yea Scurvy Dog was everything you could want in a vacation house and more. The views were breathtaking. All but a couple of mornings we woke to see dolphins swimming in the waters in front of the house. The house had everything you could need from plates, pots and pans. Every utensil. We had an amazing Easter dinner and the dining table fit everyone and the house even had a high chair for our little one. The additional twin over full bunk beds were great for all the kids. We saw such amazing sunrises and sunsets from both porches.… Read more “Our amazing stay”
Holiday family gathering
Very large home on the beach designed for large family get aways. Easy to rent and find.
Great place
The views were amazing! The house was warm and inviting, very homey. Beds were comfy. The kitchen was completely stocked with all the dishes and silverware you will need. Being able to wake up and look out the door and see the sunrise over the ocean is like being in a dream, and to be able to walk out and be right on the ocean is even better. We had a great time and can’t wait to go back again!!!
Great family trip
Very pleased
Relaxing stay
My sister enjoyed their stay and the beautiful views from the deck!
Truly on the beach – no dunes !!
Amazing views, responsive owners. This place was perfect for us- we stayed with grandparents who could see kids from the deck, and we loved the ability to run back and forth with full visibility from the beach to the house and vice versa. We came with kids of varying ages so it made it easier to keep track of everyone. Porch swing and various deck views were wonderful. House was clean and as described.
Great Location
We had a wonderful time in this house. Can’t beat the location.
Really great location and good time all around
I usually stay around milepost 12, this was my first time back in south nags in a while and it was great. The surf was perfect, this house is right on the beach, no dune to climb over. Views of the beach and night sky are perfect from the top deck. The layout is great with the top floor being open and having a deck up top. Will definitely consider staying here again
Magnificent sunrises and right on the ocean
ANY detriment to this property was negated by the first sunrise and the sound of the ocean when you walked out on the decks!!! The owner, Elizabeth was very receptive to an HVACC issue that happened shortly after we arrived and once it was determined that it could not be resolved, had a technician out there quickly and repaired within hours!! Sitting in the main great room and looking out those sliders at the panoramic view of the ocean is beyond priceless and the family vacation of memories that we enjoyed within that space is priceless! Thank you Elizabeth for… Read more “Magnificent sunrises and right on the ocean”
Excellent
The location is excellent- my son got married on the beach and it was perfect. Beach is not crowded and the layout of the house was perfect
Great Location for the $
We needed a large number of beds with direct beach access for the best $ and this place met those expectations. The beach is directly under your toes when you step from stairs to ground. The number of homes w direct access is limited in this area so the beach is fairly quiet. Yet you are just minutes away from everything Nags Head has to offer and lifeguards are on patrol here if any assistance is needed.
Perfect Location/Pet friendly
The house was probably one of the best locations for a beach house on the Outer Banks.
Short relaxing weekend
House was nice but I had a hard time finding it. Beautiful view big bedrooms
Great View and location
Property was just as expected. The views were amazing.
Wonderful vacation
We were happy with the house. The view was amazing. Easy check in and checkout. Communication was fast and easy. We would stay again.
Great Experience!!
Great communication, great house. Highly recommend!!
Beautiful Beach House, Beautiful Location, Excellent Hosts
We enjoyed our stay immensely. The house is perfectly situated on a gorgeous stretch of beach, and the three large sliding doors make it easy to enjoy the ocean, even when indoors. The hosts were gracious and responsive, and the check-in/check-out details were simple and clear. I highly recommend this property.
Literally ON the beach
What you get with this home is the view and the proximity to the beach and that alone makes it an awesome place to stay. The neighborhood is also great. Very close to outlets!
Nice fishing vacation with the family
The house had everything we needed. The house is spacious for a large family. We loved being able to walk out the door and be at the beach. Kids had fun fishing and even caught a few. It was a nice vacation and get away during covid.
Comfortable, light filled, and right on the ocean!
This house is right on the ocean, and the views are spectacular. This is not a crowded stretch of beach, which suited us perfectly. House is well furnished and the kitchen was especially well stocked. Our family of five, including a six month old, had plenty of space. Beds were great, the family room had plenty of comfortable seating and the huge windows gave a panaramic view even from inside. Owners were very responsive both before and after we got there. Loved it!
LOCATION!
LOCATION! My family and I have stayed in the Outer Bank many times, and we have never been in a house this close to the ocean. We have stayed on the beach but there were long walkways over dunes. Not here…you are ON the beach!! It was so fantastic to sit and gaze out at the water through the windows or from the deck. Really nice to see dolphins and pelicans. It was also ideal for my dad who recently had a knee replacement, it wasn’t too many stairs for him to handle and he was able to walk out… Read more “LOCATION!”
Couldn’t have asked for better
Had a wonderful time the weather was beautiful and I am thankful for Elizabeth and Lucas for sharing there cozy home with us last minute, our first house we rented had a pipe break 3 days before we were scheduled to be there. This worked out even better. Close distance to everything and the house was very cozy and comfortable will be back and definitely would recommend to family and friends
Family beach week
This home is in the perfect location, had gorgeous windows that provided dolphin views all week long! This was the only home we’ve rented that fit our family at the SAME dinging room table!! The drive to food shopping, restaurants, and other shops was far enough to keep the location private yet close enough to be there and back with a full load of groceries in less than an hour. We would definitely rent this home again, the owners were very quick to answer any questions we had and to provide suggestions for great local seafood. We’re ready for our… Read more “Family beach week”
Great place to stay, and beautiful beachfront views!
Great place to stay, and beautiful beachfront views! Elizabeth reminds you what to bring, but be sure to have room for sheets(king sized too!), and all paper goods.
Awesome location
Awesome location and love the home layout! We saw dolphins in the surf right outside our door! Tons of other wildlife – crabs and pelicans galore. You cannot beat simply stepping outside your door onto the beach 20 feet away. It was a comfortable and relaxing stay.
WONDERFUL
We are so thankful for Elizabeth and her willingness to take our family in after another Airbnb host canceled the reservation we had booked months earlier without explanation on the evening of our arrival to the Outer Banks. Elizabeth was WONDERFUL! She worked to get her home clean and ready for us as soon as possible, as we had been wandering the Outer Banks in the rain—with an 11-month old infant and two senior citizens in their 70s—ever since we had been asked to vacate the other Airbnb home without explanation in the middle of the night. Elizabeth’s understanding and… Read more “WONDERFUL”
Beautiful home with a beautiful view
Beautiful home with a beautiful view. Perfect home for large groups…3 MASTER SUITES! You can’t get anymore oceanfront without falling into the ocean. Elizabeth was an amazing host and was fast to respond to all inquiries we had.
Everything you need in a beach rental
Everything you need in a beach rental, but nothing fancy! This is a perfect house if you’re looking for a true beach vacation. One flight down your deck and you are literally on the beach. We enjoyed being so close to the water and being able to sit on the deck watching the waves and sunrise. We also loved the South Nags Head location. It was close enough to many restaurants and shopping but far enough to feel away from it all. Most of the time, you have the entire beach in from to the house to yourself. The house… Read more “Everything you need in a beach rental”
Family Vacation
Great house, right on the beach, excellent for a family getaway, close to Nags Head.
Beautiful home on the water, plenty of room and comfortable.
With the house being on the water and all the beautiful views of the water from the house…we loved it. Watched dolphins a few mornings too! House has so much room and the location was perfect if you like to run in to town, but enjoy the less populated, more private beach access. Ideal location.
Beautiful Home
What a beautiful home and setting. So very relaxing. Well stocked with kitchen needs. Beautiful, beautiful view!! Will definitely stay there again!
