... comfortable, affordable, and quiet - great places to bring your family or to come for a peaceful (or romantic!) getaway for one or several couples or friends...just minutes from Nags Head on the Outer Banks of North Carolina

	I offer inexpensive, but very nice, vacation rentals on Roanoke Island in a quiet, residential area. Whether you need a place to sleep for a night or two or an apartment for your family for a week or more, I can offer something for you at an affordable price. During June, July, and August, rentals of less than a week are limited to "last minute". But, please call or email if it's within 7 days and the unit appears to be available. Take a look at some of the pictures before you decide you don't want to stay "in someone's home". Unless you made an effort to see me, you'd never even know I was here!
Economy comes at a price of its own! There's no maid service. You are responsible for all the cleaning, but I provide everything you need.

Background-- How this all happened!

When I found myself an "empty nester" and almost ready to retire from a 30-year career with national wildlife refuges, I decided to use some of the empty space in my home to share some of the loves of my life with others... So, I added a few outside staircases, built a few walls, and put up an "open for business" sign. The first couple of seasons have been great fun! I've met a lot of wonderful folks, learned a few things that work... and a few that don't. I added a couple of smaller places at my daughter's house, then decided they just didn't work for what I'm doing.... so the 918A and B units are now rented only by the month and year-round. Basically, I decided two were all I could handle with the appropriate level of attention.

I have been so blessed to live on Roanoke Island (we're the part of the Outer Banks that has real grass!) for almost 30 years. And, I believe there's no place like it!

This is NOT a bed and breakfast experience (though several have described it as a bed and breakfast without the 'expensive breakfast'!). It is family-operated, and it's my attempt to share the things I love - especially to folks who might not otherwise be able to visit the area. I offer nice rooms/apartments for rent with full baths and private entrances. Both have kitchens/kitchenettes; both have balconies/decks. The unit with a kitchenette (without a range) has a nice grill with a side burner. Both come with outdoor recreational equipment, including canoes, kayaks, bicycles, beach chairs, umbrellas, etc. Both include linens, washer/dryer, and offer a peaceful break from the hectic pace of the beach-- while providing easy access to all the beach offerings - only 10 minutes away.

My guests repeatedly say, "This is the first time I've come to the Outer Banks and not stayed on the beach.... and I'll never stay on the beach again!!"

My prices are appreciably lower than beach prices. And, you'll love the peaceful atmosphere! Please ask all the questions you like.... Contact me any time!
