Blue Tide has incredible ocean views, especially for a house 5 back from the beach. It's better than many direct ocean front views. During a nor'easter, it was nice to be further back. The hot tub is great for star gazing.

Everything in the house was very well maintained. There is a copious amount of deck space, and each bedroom having a full bathroom was useful.

Kitchen had everything we needed. 2 refrigerators and 2 bar size refrigerators. 2 sinks and each bedroom had its own bathroom a bonus for sure. Plenty of pillows and outside furniture to sit on. A step above others we’ve stayed in

This was our third time staying in this house and it will be our go to cottage from this point forward. This cottage is beautiful, clean, and very well stocked. Our favorite thing about this house is that every bedroom has it's own bathroom. I have been traveling to Nags Head my entire life and this is by far my favorite place that I have rented.

It was close to the beach, had everything we needed in the kitchen to cook. Adequate dishes, glasses, etc. Had grill tools, kitchen tools and great pots and pans. Each bedroom with bathroom was great. Overall, we loved the pool and hot tub and the house. Roomy for the 8 of us!

We had a great time spending the week in this cottage. Great well-stocked cottage, plenty of space, within walking distance to a quiet beach. Loved the decks with ocean views to enjoy sunrises. We spent time at the pool which had plenty of chairs, tables, and 2 covered areas providing shade. Also enjoyed playing corn hole, the picnic table and it was nice to find extra beach chairs.

Our family truly enjoyed our stay at Blue Tide.  We had many photos of rainbows and sunsets from the decks!  The walk to the beach was easy and we appreciated the nice outdoor shower and clothesline.   The kitchen had everything we needed as we are a family that loves to cook.  The wetbar area was a wonderful feature too.

The location is perfect if you don't want a lot of people cramming in around you on the beach. The access to the beach is directly beside the house. The deck on the back side of the house allows you to see the breakers at all times. Can't beat the location.

This house suits families to a T! Its proximity to the beach access and the pool, although small, works well for children. Well-equipped and comfortable, Blue Tide is a rare find and affordably priced.
