Come and enjoy a relaxing South Nags Head vacation. 'Good Day Sunshine!' is beautifully furnished and decorated where you can relax in peace and quiet. Whether you're watching the waves of the Atlantic Ocean, the dolphins or pelicans playing, or the beautiful sunrises, you will be inspired by the views.

The beach is literally next door. It begins only about 75' from the end of your driveway. You will enjoy direct access to one of the best stretches of beach in Nags Head that is far less crowded and quiet. You even have the added security of a Nags Head Lifeguard Station positioned directly at the end of our street. That's great piece of mind, especially with 'little ones'. (Google Maps may still show Surfside Drive between our cottage and the beach but it was washed away a few years ago.) Escape the crowds and the noise you will find near the 'Big Road'. Walk the beach early in the morning to find beautiful sea shells or sea glass (our favorite). The wide sand beaches of South Nags Head are some of the cleanest beaches on the Outer Banks. Come sit, read a book, sunbathe, or enjoy a meal on our spacious and comfortable sun deck.

The Family room has a flat screen TV with DVD player, board games and stereo.

The Kitchen has plenty of updated cabinets with granite counter tops and has all the modern conveniences of home with a sealed top range, Microwave, dishwasher and a refrigerator. There are plenty of cooking utensils and silverware.

A storage area is located under the house for storage of your beach items. A foot wash is located adjacent to the stairs. A gas grill is located on the deck just outside the sliding glass doors. An enclosed outside shower with hot and cold water is located on the ground level.

Just down the street is a jogging/bicycle/walking trail that extends for 6 miles along Old Oregon Inlet Road. This concrete multi-use path is excellent for taking an afternoon stroll or biking or rollerblading with the family. Outlet shopping located only miles from house. Located in a quiet area with little traffic and uncrowded beaches. Don't forget to be at the docks of Oregon Inlet (10 Minutes away) at 4:00 to watch the charter fleet come in with their fresh catch of the day.

Make your plans to stay in this wonderful semi-oceanfront retreat. 'Good Day Sunshine!' is the perfect venue for rest and relaxation. The area is quiet, but located only a couple of minutes from shopping, first-class restaurants, fishing and entertainment. This is a great location for your next summer vacation!

Please bring bed and bath linens and toiletries. We supply bed top covers and pillows. Linens can also be rented via local providers, please ask for references, if interested.

Please make sure to check our up-to-date availability calendar for the dates you are interested in.

We only offer our property for rent on a weekly basis from Saturday to Saturday.

***NO PARTIAL WEEK OR WEEKEND RENTALS.***

To calculate the total cost for a particular week, simply add 11.75% (for occupancy taxes) and then $49.00 (for Accidental Damage Protection) to the corresponding advertised rate. There are no hidden fees or charges.

About The Owner

Over the years my wife and I vacationed in South Nags Head and had fallen in love with it through our many visits. Like many, we dreamed of one day owning a beach home. In 2009, our dream finally came true. While it was in rather rough shape when we found it, we knew we could turn it into a place that our family would enjoy. Over the past few years, we rented out our home through a local property management company, but now we want to offer it directly to our guests ourselves.

NOTE: Google Maps may still show Surfside Drive between our cottage and the beach but it was washed away a few years ago.

The Owner purchased this cottage in 2009
Why The Owner chose Nags Head

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!!!

The proximity to the beach makes this a very special property. You will LOVE vacationing only steps away from the beach. Also, we live only two hours from the cottage, making it very convenient for us to visit.

Exceptional Cottage in Nags Head

5 of 5
Submitted: April 22, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
We have stayed with our family the last two years at Good Day Sunshine. There is more than enough room for two parents, three children, and two grandparents. The home is completely stocked with all the essential kitchen ware you need for the week and has many thoughtful touches.The beach is steps away from the front of the house and it is enhanced by the recent beach replenishment. The homeowners have supplied all the essential beach items necessary for adults and children so there is little you have to bring to enjoy the beach. South Nags Head is quiet and residential which provides a true escape on the Outer Banks. Five minutes from the house you can find all the shops and restaurants you would need during your vacation. The homeowners are very friendly and a pleasure to work with. For a truly relaxing and enjoyable vacation on the Outer Banks -- you can't go wrong with Good Day Sunshine.

This is our second year staying at this beautiful little cottage on the beach. The place has an awesome view of the beach and is well maintained. It is perfect for a small family or 2 couples. We will keep coming back as long as we can get a week reserved! Thanks so much for allowing us to stay at your renta!

Lovely Cottage beyond our expectations!

5 of 5
Submitted: September 2, 2012 Stayed: August 2012
This VRBO was beyond our expectations! We were very pleased with how well the cottage was maintained and especially the spacious and comfortable bedrooms, living room, dining area and kitchen with a beautiful walk-out deck facing the ocean (the photos are very accurate!). This cottage was more than a cottage in my opinion. Very tastefully decorated and all the bedrooms had what appeared to be new beds, bedspreads, pillows and decor. The kitchen had everything we could possibly need and the appliances again appeared new w/ large stainless steel frigerator, fully stocked dishware, utensils, all sizes of pots, pans, bowls, and a spacious pantry closet. It was very nice having TVs in the 2 queen bedrooms and the outside showers and parking spaces were perfect. The homeowners have obviously put a lot of attention into details in this home and have done a very nice job keeping it clean and comfortable for their guests (and were very helpful answering all of our questions). thank you!

Owner's Response: It's wonderful reviews like this one that make our efforts worthwhile. We try very hard to exceed expectations, not only in the condition of our cottage, but in the attention and service that we provide our guests. It's great to know that our guests appreciate the effort and what our place has to offer. Again, we try hard to make our place more special than just the typical rental cottage.

This property location is fantastic! It is right on the beach, and the beach is not crowded. It is in great condition and we found the kitchen fully stocked and easy to use. The view form the deck is amazing -we didn't have the best weather - we wished we could have used the deck more! The property owner was very easy to work with and attentive. Easy to hop back on route 12 for shopping, seafood, and kids activities. Thanks for sharing your wonderful house with us!

Great House!

5 of 5
Submitted: July 30, 2012 Stayed: July 2012
Our family has been vacationing in the area for over 20 years, and this house is by far the best. Our realtor found this house for us when we decided to downsize from the big multi-family oceanfront houses we'd been renting to a smaller 1 to 2 family house. The house has been beautifully redecorated and is very well-equipped for vacationers. In addition to the owners' continual updating, the location is this home's greatest asset. It's practically oceanfront with excellent views of the ocean from almost every room. The house is a short drive to Oregon Inlet and both piers for the fishermen, and the shops and grocery stores for the shoppers. We were concerned when we left our longtime realtor to rent through VRBO, but the owners addressed our concerns immediately. They stay in touch by phone and email, and they even use the same housekeeping and maintenance staff as our realtor. Check-in and check-out were much simpler too. No long lines at an office---the owners email you the necessary info and the passkey instructions. We've been renting this house for two week vacations for quite a few years and would highly recommend it!
