Morning Star | 880 ft from the beach | Dog Friendly, Hot Tub | Nags Head

New for 2023: New appliances and carpet.
New for 2022: New dishwasher and sofas.

'Morning Star' is a gem for active families. It is just a short walk to the beautifully nourished Nags Head beach for a day of sun and fun. When it's time to wind down, relax in the hot tub on your screened porch overlooking the National Park Service wildlife refuge. The location is great! Take a day trip to see the lighthouses on Hatteras Island, Ocracoke, and Bodie Island, and soak up a little Outer Banks history. (Bodie Island is just 5 minutes away, and you may see the light on clear evenings while soaking in the hot tub). Shop until you drop with Outlet shopping and local boutiques just a short drive away. Now, let's talk about the fishing! Bring the boat because you are only minutes from Oregon Inlet Fishing Center and Marina, and Pirate's Cove Marina where you can launch your boat or take a charter trip. Just 5 minutes from Outer Banks Fishing Pier, and 10 minutes from Jennette's Fishing Pier for fishing, educational activities for the kids, or sightseeing. Not enough? Bring the paddle boards, the kite boards, the kayak, and the surfboards for fun in the surf. For something completely different, the adventure lovers can take a hang gliding lesson at Jockey's Ridge State Park, just 15 minutes away.

Long walk to beach
We loved our stay.. house was nice but old, moved when wind blew hard little. Fridge small , appliances suffice, stove top eyes need attention., Queen bed in front room slants, wheels on frame gone in back. Not a bad house, just some things need attention, and cleaned better.. but beach is always great, no matter the house to us!

Need some updates
We loved our stay and location. However, the stairs outside were a bit unsafe because there was no light to see. My brothers fell from the top step on the first set all the way to the bottom. They were slippery when they were wet. Some of the boards on the top deck that need replacing. The oven in the stove does not cook like it supposed to, it seems like the element may be going out. The grill was very nasty but we did not use it. Over all the stay was great!

Christmas at Morningstar
We found the property big enough and well located to the beach entrance. The stove had not been cleaned when we arrived to make dinner but they did come the next day to clean and replace the stove top liners. The kitchen was large with new counters, and older painted cabinets with several drawers that did not work. Old scratched non-stick pots should be discarded as unsafe. Nice big table for meals and activities. The main room TV is very small for the size of the room. Bedroom drawers were stuck in several bedrooms. We were unable to get the fireplace to work. When asked about this I received an email with instructions that we could not get to work.l it would have been appropriate to send someone to light it and instruct us as to how to get it to work as we had several cold days during the week, This was a disappointment. Overall we had a great time being together. In 2021 we had direct communication with the owner of the property and had. better experience. As a result, I have learned that going through VRBO is like having a surcharge as the property is managed by a rental agency and there was no communication or benefit from VRBO as all contact was with the agency. Neither the owner or VRBO assisted in our stay.

Outdated but excellent
Our whole family loved staying here, it was close to the beach and had all of the necessities as well as some great nice-to-haves. Unfortunately, someone in our party broke their foot due to the lack of light in the area by the hot tub and stepping off a higher than expected platform so fair warning that you’ll want to turn those lights on when you’re on the second floor so that there aren’t any accidents. Everything else went exceedingly well and the property managers were incredibly fast at getting someone out when we had an issue with loose railing ties on the porch. Would highly recommend, especially for the value for a large extended family.

The property is good, but it look very dated. Like something for the 1980s. The furniture of the property is old, dirty and worn down. It needs to be replaced. Other the stay was pleasant. Thanks

Great stay!
It was a nice, spacious and clean place to stay. Location is close to the beach, close to outlet shopping and restaurants. We came with two infants and I don’t think it mentioned in the listing that there are two pack and plays at the house which was great for us but would have been nice to know when packing 😂 overall, a wonderful stay and would stay here again!

Could use some upgrades
The house was decent for the money. Loved the outdoor shower and the deck (ocean views!) but the first floor smelled a bit of mold. None of the windows in the bedroom we stayed in (1st floor master with the nicest bathroom) had screens for the windows so we had to live with it. Only other thing that bothered me was a random guy with ladders showed up during one day. Didn’t come inside, but I was working (so couldn’t attend to it) and alone so it was a bit unnerving. I was given no notice that anyone was arriving to attend to whatever it was he did.

Good location, large space, needs updating
The house is in a great location, short walk to the beach and 3 miles from Outlet mall. It has a lot of space and a nice layout. You can see the ocean from the deck and there are nice chairs outside. The hot tub was a big hit with the grandchildren since it was too cold to swim or spend too much time at the beach. The kitchen had all the dishes, cooking and baking pans, small appliances, etc that we needed. The stove, fridge, wifi and cable worked well. Linens and nice towels were provided. There are a number of things that are very worn- the two sofas are uncomfortable. The King mattress has a hump in the middle. 3 of the electric outlets sparked when we plugged things in. We could not get the gas grill to ignite. The carpet is quite worn out and dirty. (Pets are permitted, we had our dog.) Walls were dirty in places. Overall it needs a big facelift and scrubbing up.
