Like a dear old friend
This old house has become a family tradition. In addition to renting for several years in the early 1970's under the Gaskill's, we began renting again about 5 years ago and have continued to do so every year. We all have "our" regular bedrooms and we treat the house as if it were our own. Our favorite feature is the 2nd floor deck overlooking the beach and ocean, and the screened-in side porch where many conversations occur. It's been fine with no air conditioning and we like listening to the ocean and the breezes, that's what makes the Crows Nest what it is! Thank you to the owner for sharing your house!

loved everything about this place
This was a great house. Worked perfect for our family!! Plenty of space and didn't have any trouble only having 2 bathrooms or no air conditioner. Loved everything about this place! All beds and sofas were comfy. I would like to add you should add a bed to the crows nest. It would be a perfect place to sleep.

right on beach
This house was right on the beach and made the outdated home worth it. We were there for the beach. The house served its purpose for the cheaper cost.

Like walking back in time
We stayed in this house every summer from 1970-1976 and had not been in the house since that time. When first walking in the front door it was like stepping back in time, it had not changed very much in all those years. Very comfortable house, good beach access, lots of room. The owners have done a great job keeping it well-maintained. We really liked the second floor deck on the back and the lovely ocean views. Will be renting again this year.

Summer vacation @OBX
Once again my family stayed @ the OBX (via Sun Realty).
We rented the same house as last year,and again it was great.
Yes,the house has NO A/C,however with the house location near the beach,we just turned on the ceiling fans & opened the windows.
The house has plenty of room.
I would highly recommend Sun Realty to anyone who wishes to visit the OBX.
They are a great outfit to rent from.

Long Ago
We stayed here at the 'Crow's Nest' back in the late 1960's, and I'll always remember our wonderful beach vacation. Hopefully we shall go again and relive history!

Mr & Mrs D.A Shaffer
This was our first time we rented a house @OBX.
We have visited here several times in the past and always stayed in a motel.This time however,our entire family joined us.(total of 9)
The house was very roomy and for the most part,quite comfortable(except for the one bed)
The fact that there was NO A/C,was not a problem.
We opened the windows and turned on the ceiling fans,it was very cool.
I plan to make a reservation for next year.
I would totally recommend Sun Realty to anyone who wants to visit the Outer Banks.
Not only is it a great place to visit,Sun Realty is a great company to deal with. Linda Shaffer June 4th 2016

August 2012
We stayed in the Crow's Nest in August 2012. It was a fantastic stay. The perfect house for three generations of us to enjoy a relaxed vacation. It was warm one night without AC but comfortable the rest of the time. What a beautiful location, comfortable house, and welcoming atmosphere. The beach is right outside. Do not hesitate to book this house. We'll be staying here for years to come!

We LOVE "OUR" Crow's Nest!
We, my siblings and myself, along with our spouses and children, have been enjoying our annual week at the Crow's Nest for more than 20 years. My parents discovered this fabulous, and classic beach house for our family all those years ago, and we continue to enjoy making family memories here. We would not even consider a different house, as the Crow's Nest is truly our "home"-- we love this house, and the memories it holds for us all!

Summer 2012
This home is deceiving from the outside. Has six bedrooms all on one floor. 2 bathrooms with showers plus the outside shower bonus. Short walk to beach ..3 minutes. Fit all 10 of us comfortably at dinner time. Kitchen has every amenity you would need and then some. Great times had by all. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone. Charming beach house to say the least!!

Crow's Nest- HOV14
My family spent a wonderful week last summer in the Crow's Nest aka Bodie Island Hunt Club. It is such a beautiful old home with amazing character. I have five children and this home intrigued the kids as much as it did the adults. We enjoyed our stay here very, very much and it instantly became our favorite house in the OBX. We've been visiting the OBX for many years but this home epitimizes the natural setting. We cannot wait to stay here again. The owners have done a terrific job of stocking the kitchen with pots, pans, and other necessary kitchen items. The Fiestaware plates are a nice touch too. This isn't a "modern" home but that is what makes it so very wonderful. Again thank you Sun Realty and the owners for such a fantastic classic beach home.

Our extended family has been
Our extended family has been coming here for the past 10 years and it's something we look forward to every summer. It holds sentimental value since my parents were married at the Crow's Nest 27 years ago. It's one of my favorite places in the world.
