PIER JOY - Vacation rental home in Nags Head, NC

Pier Joy is a Carolina Designs oceanfront escape in South Nags Head, giving all eight bedrooms, each with a private bath, a front-row seat to sunrise surf sessions and salt air. An elevator serves every level, and cabana service waits on the sand.

Overview

Any way you cut it, this spacious oceanfront home in South Nags Head is truly special. The location is second to none, and you'll immediately notice the gorgeous views of Jennette's Pier, a prime attraction on the Outer Banks, where you can fish or stroll to the end for a unique ocean perspective. The site is home to world-class surfing competitions, and in-season, the beach has a lifeguard standing directly in front. The home also offers seasonal cabana service (see dates and details below). Other classic Nags Head pursuits are a short drive away; it's easy to travel to Oregon Inlet, Manteo, the Outlet Mall, and more.

Inside, the layout is built for big groups that still want their own space: eight bedrooms with eight private baths, seven of them furnished with king beds, plus a bunk room for the younger set. Nine full baths and a half bath mean no waiting in line, an elevator carries luggage and guests between all three levels, and 11 TVs are scattered throughout the house. Out back, a 25 x 16 saltwater pool, a hot tub, and a fenced yard overlook the dune line, while seven parking spaces and free high-speed wireless internet keep the practical details covered. Two dogs are welcome for a fee, a highchair is on hand for the littlest traveler, and check-in is on Saturday at Milepost 16.5. Looking for a multifaceted getaway? Choose Pier Joy!

Nags Head and the Outer Banks: Known as the historic center of family beach vacations since the 1940s and 50s, Nags Head pairs classic seaside charm with plenty to explore. Climb the tallest natural sand dune system on the East Coast at Jockey's Ridge State Park, wander more than five miles of trails through maritime forest at the Nags Head Woods Ecological Preserve, or drive south toward Pea Island and the National Park Service coastline. Shops, the brand-name outlet mall, mini golf, and a wide range of restaurants are an easy drive north, while historic Roanoke Island, the NC Aquarium, and the fishing village of Wanchese sit just across the bridge. For a group that wants ocean, pool, and pier all at once, this OBX vacation rental delivers.
