This house was perfect for our family of 4. The location was great, very close to the beach and easy access to restaurants/stores. The home was clean and well decorated. We have been coming to the Outer Banks for a while but have never vacationed in Nags Head, we loved it and will definitely rent this home again!

"Perfect" just about sums it up! First of all - location, location, location! Step off of the cottage steps, walk the length of a normal driveway, cross over the dune path and you are on the beautiful beach. (So close that we could hear the waves when we laid down to go to sleep at night.) South Nags Head is central to everything, but removed from the hustle and bustle of shops/restaurants/hotels. Red Stripe Morn was just the right size for our family of three (four if you count our dog) and compared to larger cottages that we have rented in the past, there was a lot less to clean before we departed = a happy mom. The cottage is adorable inside and outside with lots of natural light and thoughtful touches. The kitchen is well stocked. And can I just say that the lower level bathroom (accessible from the outside shower area) is SO convenient when you are on the beach, but do not want to track sand inside. The description says much of what I have said, but you can take it from me that all of it is true. So true in fact, that we have prebooked for next year! To the owner: Please offer mini stays during the fall and spring. I promise we will be the first to sign up! Also, my ONLY criticism: please remove the dune vegetation overgrowth from the grill area and deck corners. Thank you for sharing your cottage - we LOVE it and cannot wait to return!

We just returned from our 2nd visit to Red Stripe Morn. The cottage is beautifully maintained and is just steps from the beach. It might as well be listed as "oceanfront," as there is an unobstructed view of the ocean from the porch. It's a perfect home-away-from-home for a small family. This year my husband and I took our 6 month old and his grandparents, and everyone had a wonderful time! We certainly hope to return for a 3rd visit.

We chose Red Stripe Morn for our family of 4 after reading the posts from others. It was perfect. This home is so close to the beach that we would consider it oceanfront!! We had 3 adults and a 17 month old and the home was the perfect size! Red Stripe Morn was also baby friendly... they even had electrical socket protectors. We loved the outside speakers on the deck and spent our evenings out there relaxing. We already scheduled our vacation for next year and we will be returning to Red Stripe Morn!!

"Wow! We had a great time at this gorgeous beach cottage. My 14mo. old saw the ocean for the first time and loved it. I kept her in mind when choosing this house and I wasn't disappointed. With the house being one level she was able to play, and with just a few adjustments to lamps and books, have full run of the house. With the addition of two baby gates on the sun deck she was at home there also. The views are great too and it’s like you are ocean front. The sound of the ocean sang us to sleep at night. P.S. Sam and Omie's rocks!!!"

We just got back from our week at Red Stripe Morn. This house was perfect for our family of four. The house is beautifully updated and the views are fabulous. This house may not be ocean front but it might as well be. With two toddlers in tow we were close enough to the beach to run back for naptime, potty breaks, or anything else the kids needed. The deck was the perfect afternoon spot for taking a in a cold drink and watching the ocean. We will be returning next year.
