The Wave Watcher house was clean, comfortable, and met all of my family's needs. My wife and I stayed with our two kids for a week. All communication from the check-in to check-out directions with the owner was clear and very fast. The house fit my family very well. All amenities were described accurately and we loved our stay. The beach access is very close and we could see the ocean from the back deck. Our kids loved using the outdoor shower and the beach wagon was extremely handy. There are beach toys available, although we brought our own boogie boards. We were able to cook in the house easily but also drive just 10 minutes into Nags Head for tons of restaurants. It was nice to do a mix of cooking and eating out. The neighborhood was very quiet and family friendly. We would stay at Wave Watcher again and would highly recommend to friends. ##### Eric R.

It is as easy walk to the beach and the second story decks made a great place to read. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. The owners were very attentive. They responded right away. At one point (through no fault of them) the batteries in the lock started running out. He came out within hours to change the batteries for us. The one thing I would note is that this isn't a location that you will be walking to dinner or shopping. However, that isn't something that we were looking for in a rental so it didn't matter to us. Honestly, the peace of quiet of the location made the short distance well worth it. ##### Meagan F. Stayed 8 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jon V.

The house was nicely decorated and had plenty of space for our family with young adults. The bedrooms were a little tight, but beds were comfortable and had dressers and plenty of shelves for your stuff. It was clean except for a few details in the kitchen. There were so many nice sand toys and boards, and when we came back from the beach, it was great to have the outside shower and separate faucets to rinse off. We enjoyed the balconies on both sides-sunrise on one side, sunset on the other. The communications with the owner were great! We even tried out a pizza restaurant "suggestion" from a magnet on the fridge and it was yummy! The close proximity to all of the sites (Jockey's Ridge sand dunes, Bodie Lighthouse, Rodanthe, Alligator River refuge, Manteo, Mutiny Bay mini golf) was very nice and we took advantage of as many as possible as the beach wasn't an option on half the trip. And we were close enough to the beach that you could hear the waves! ##### Jon V. Stayed 4 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kristen B.

The name suits itself as you can see the water from the back deck. They have beach chairs, boogie boards for the kids and sand toys. The outdoor shower was an added bonus; which we used every time we went to the beach. The beach was a short walk out the back and across the street. The street was not a busy street for anyone with families. The house was clean and had everything we needed to cook our meals inside. Nelene provided enough towels, wash clothes and linens which were all in sanitized bags upon our arrival. She kept the communication open which is always a plus!! She let us know that the AC was broke prior to our arrival and we had portable units in each bedroom. The next day the AC guy was there to fix the AC just like she said. I am truly grateful to have stayed here and defiantly look forward to another stay! Thank you for this wonderful beach getaway! ##### Kristen B.

The walk to the beach was convenient and made beach days easy. We loved our stay here and would definitely recommend! ##### Britney R. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tess W. Jun 17, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### We loved our stay! This house was beautiful and VERY clean. It was a short walk across the street to the beach and 10 minute drive to plenty of great restaurants and bars. You can feel the breeze from the ocean and watch the waves. We were staying with our 15 month old and the owners took the time to baby proof! We really appreciated that and he had a great time while we didn’t have to worry. Highly recommend. ##### Tess W.
