Our family had the BEST time at short stack! The house was clean and comfortable in a quiet neighborhood. The layout was perfect for our group of 3 adults and 3 kids and there was still an unused bedroom downstairs, so we could have easily accommodated more grandparents, friends, etc. There is a spacious kitchen both upstairs and downstairs with plenty of room to cook and eat. The outdoor space is exceptionally varied as well across three levels, with a covered patio area to grill and eat, plus two large balconies with plenty of seating to enjoy the sunrise while watching the birds or catch up on some sunbathing. The three bathrooms are spacious and updated and the living areas are large enough for a group to gather. There was plenty of room to spread out throughout the house too when we needed some downtime. The house was well equipped with books, fun board games and puzzles, a pool table (with cues for the little ones), all the beach gear you could need if you don’t bring your own, and baby/toddler items. The central Nags Head location was fantastic! You can easily fill up your vacation with all of the great restaurants, coffee, ice cream, shopping, and fun activities that are within 5-10 minutes of the house. The beach access was very easy as the house is right next to a crosswalk with a stoplight. The closest beach access doesn’t have parking and is not near hotels or large condos so there was plenty of space without the crowds. We will definitely be going back!
