Here is what some of our past guests have said:
Drea - Dec 2025 - Airbnb 5 stars
Had a outstanding family New Year's celebration here. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for an authentic OBX beach hideaway, regardless of the time of year. They are planning a major renovation and I cannot wait to see how it turns out. The home is great as is, comfortable beds, clean and functional bathrooms. Needed a couple staples (sponge and coffee filters) and there was no issue getting them the next day from Mike & Chelsea, even 8 miles down the beach road and through the dune ramp. Clear instructions were supplied on how to get there, even in the dark (arrived later than we intended to). Would adore to book again next time I am out visiting my dad in Virginia. Mike and Chelsea were flexible on check-out time, as we had to stay up to ring in the New Year. Amazing vistas as we were able to watch the dolphins feeding from the top balcony and had our own Banker Horse feeding in the front yard. Thank you Mike and Chelsea, we have many phenomenal memories from our visit to OBX and the Nautical Nomad!
Angela - Dec 2025 - Airbnb 5 stars
We had a great time staying at this home over the Christmas holiday.
We took everything we needed for the few days with us; as you do have to drive rather far on the beach. We have been to the area and were familiar with that and knew to bring what we would need. That being said it was worth it; as it is a handsome setting with impressive vistas from the home. We saw the horses on the beach and more dolphins than I ever have before and I lived in FL for 20 years.
The home is being modernized after our stay but looked like the photos that were advertised. The home has enough room for a very enormous event and was painless to find. It felt very clean and safe.
I hope I can afford to stay again, when the home is refreshed as I am sure it will be more with the updates. Would book here again.
