We have been coming to Peter's Cottage for 20+ years. It's solid and not fancy. We never had to watch the childrens' every move -- A broom cleans most everything. The beds are made when we arrive

Fantastic, historic-style cottage in Old Nags Head. Very spacious for large families/groups. Excellent layout to accomodate everyone. Love that there are queen beds in every room! Wonderful, covered porch with beach access.
Molly H. - Stayed: 8/13/2023

The Peter's Cottage is a great place to stay with a large family. The bedrooms are very large with two very nice quiet bedrooms on the third floor that are perfect for families with young children. The galley kitchen works great as a serving area. Finally, if you love the old Nags Head historic homes in cottage row, this is just a great house to enjoy.

Love the cottage.
Have been renting from Joe Lamb Jr for years.
The company is efficient in correcting any issues.
Lillian Y. - Stayed: 7/11/2021

Ashley P. - Stayed: 6/27/2021

Extremely impressed that owners shared items such as kayaks, bikes, beach chairs, etc.
Kitchen very well equipped. Bedrooms very spacious with a large walk in closet in every room which was very helpful.
Enough books for everyone taste. I read several.
Take time to look at the pictures and certificates on walls - gives you an idea of the history of the place.
Plentiful seating on deck that we enjoyed for evenings and eating.

Love all the woodwork, and the straight shot to the ocean out the back!
Roland &. - Stayed: 9/27/2020

I have always used Joe Lamb in the pass. only once did I go with another company but was right back to Joe lamb. Just because they are #1 company in not only how they conduct business but most importantly how they treat people. if you have any issues they or on the spot to make sure your stay is as smooth as possible.

Once again, we enjoyed our stay at Peter's Cottage. We have been staying there over 20 years. We enjoyed the upgrades ( upgrades to third floor bedroom/bathroom, the fixing of the wood on the porch, the extra chairs and table in the living room, the extra blankets, and the installation of a hammock on the porch and the swing downstairs). Please inform the owners that we left some puzzles (e.g. of the house) that were made from pictures taken from our stay last year.
