The only positive aspect of this property was its location. Unfortunately, everything else fell far below expectations.The cleanliness of the home was unacceptable. There was a thick layer of dust on the windowsills, hairballs on the carpet, and the property did not appear to have been properly cleaned before our arrival.The exterior was just as disappointing. The picnic table was broken, and the beach access was not as advertised. The dune crossover was heavily overgrown with weeds covering the steps, making the path difficult to navigate. There was also no clear walkway to the outdoor shower, which was broken as well.The most concerning issue occurred on our last night. The support brace for the upstairs deck had rusted through and detached, falling onto our truck and scratching it. This was not only frustrating but also a serious safety hazard that could have caused injury if someone had been underneath.Based on our experience, this property is in need of significant maintenance, repairs, and a much higher standard of cleanliness. While the location is wonderful, we cannot recommend staying here until these issues are addressed.

The location is excellent and it’s a very short walk to the beach, but unfortunately that’s where the positives ended for us.The house is in need of significant updating and maintenance. The back deck doorknob was broken, the grill was extremely dirty and had to be cleaned before we could use it, and there were numerous spiders and webs around the swing area on the deck.The biggest issue was that we had no internet or television for our entire seven-day stay, despite those being advertised amenities. We reported the problem immediately and fully cooperated with multiple service calls from the internet provider throughout the week. Replacement equipment wasn’t delivered until Saturday evening and was never installed before we checked out, so the issue was never resolved during our stay.We also experienced a significant ant infestation that took over one of the bedrooms, making it unusable for the remainder of our stay. In addition, we found a tick in another bed.Village Realty acknowledged that our stay fell below its standards and offered only a small partial refund, which we did not feel adequately reflected the loss of multiple advertised amenities, the loss of an entire bedroom, the pest issues, and the overall impact these problems had on our vacation.Based on our experience, we would not stay at this property again.

You could see the ocean from the house. Kitchen was well equipped with anything you needed. House had a slight odor but nothing terrible. Air conditioner worked great.

Great location and beautiful views.House was clean but underneath the house there was trash like a broken lounge chair and a couple more things that were left. Wasn’t a big issue though. House accommodated my family and myself well and had everything we needed. Would stay there again.

This home is so close to the beach. After climbing the dune, youre rewarded with a very short walk to the beach. We could have brought 4-5 more people with us, plenty of space so the 5 of us never felt ontop of each other.

Great property with amazing views. So convenient to Oregon Inlet!!
Make Gillespie Cottage the home away from home that your family will want to return to year after year. This classic oceanfront retreat in South Nags Head offers exceptional views and your own private access to the beach. Two levels of east-facing covered decks provide plenty of outdoor space for watching the sunrise and listening to the crashing waves. Inside, kick back and relax in the comfortably furnished great room, where vaulted ceilings and multiple skylights make the space feel bright and airy. The open-concept layout is perfect for spending quality time together, even while preparing meals in the well-equipped kitchen. The primary bedroom and a full bath are also located on the top level, with four additional bedrooms and two more full baths on the mid level. This wonderful home provides comfort, convenience and so much more for your family to enjoy.
Located at milepost 19.5 in South Nags Head, Gillespie Cottage is a mile south of the Outer Banks Fishing Pier and Fish Head's Bar and Grill, where you can order food and drinks on the oceanfront while listening to live music. Coquina Beach, part of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore and a favorite local spot for fishing and surfing, is a six-minute drive away. From there, explore Bodie Island Lighthouse or head south for a day trip to Ocracoke.
