We had a great week! House was convenient to restaurants and shops. You may want to check the icemaker. It did not work but everything else was fine.

Great location! The common area spaces are a bit small for the number of bedrooms, but overall no complaints.

House was great. We enjoyed our week, it was nice and relaxing. Only one suggestion, to have a broom upstairs to sweep the kitchen during the week.

Our family has been coming to Nags Head for several years. We’ve stayed in several different houses throughout the years. We enjoyed our stay and the location of this property. The house was comfortable and had plenty of room for our family. Our only issue was the hot water. For a larger family, we struggled with having enough hot water for everyone to take showers. It seemed as though maybe having a larger water heater would solve that issue. Overall the house was nice and we enjoyed our trip.

The Terrapin Cottage was perfect for our vacation! It was located close to shops and restaurants and a very short walk to the beach. The house itself was well laid out - the kitchen was well stocked and it was great to have the linens provided. Every interaction we had with Village Realty was positive and they were really responsive with any questions. We would rent from Village Realty again and would also stay at Terrapin again!
