K8024 Eleanor Dare 8 Bedroom Oceanfront Home

Fun for Xmas on Nags Head
We had a 4-gen Christmas week at the Eleanor Dare cottage, and it turned out great. We walked the beach, rode bikes (e-bike rental), shopped, played golf and even fished one day. The cottage was great for spreading people out for games and movies, and for bringing everyone together for breakfast and dinner every day.

Our Stay
Eleanor Dare House is a great place to go to and relax, sitting by the fireplace and reading is awesome. We go down in December with family and friends, always have a good time. I would recommend this place to anyone, and I always tell people about this house in NC.

Peaceful retreat on the beach of the OBX
Eleanor Dare is a perfect retreat for a long term stay or even a few days, just a short private walk to the beach. Huge open floor plans with plenty of comfortable bedrooms. Massive kitchen that is equipped with all you need to entertain. Upstairs balcony that allows unrestricted views of the ocean. Bottom patio with a pool that is very well designed. Theater room for those rainy windy days with theater seating. Behind the theater there is an awesome arcade/table game setup. Highly recommend a stay here.

Great Family Vacation
The house was awesome! We used the theater and game room every night- ping pong and pool tournaments. We got the pool heated and I’m so glad we did! We were able to swim comfortably (with small children) our whole stay in September. Also, loved the convenience of having a beach tent and chairs already set up for us. The showers could have used a deep cleaning, a couple of people had hairs still on the floor/walls. The vent over the stove stopped working and the pool heater wasn’t working at one point but they responded right away and had someone out within the hour. Overall, we were very pleased and would definitely book again!

We had a terrific family vacation the second week of September in the Eleanor Dare House. The house size was perfect for a multi generation visit. The property was impeccably clean, and the service team was very helpful with the small requests we had. Thank you so much!

2024 Family Vacation
We truly enjoyed our stay at this house. Its location is great. The room for families to spread out and have their own space (especially with such a wide variety of ages - 69 to 8) was a welcome treat for everyone. The ocean view is stunning. Lots of fun places within walking distance.

Family trip!
One of our best vacations ever. House was perfect for us all

- William , Posted: 06/04/2024

We loved our stay at Eleanor Dare and would stay there again and recommend it to friends. The home was clean, kitchen is well equipped for cooking at home with a large group. We had a few minor issues and they were addressed so quickly. We appreciate the attentiveness, even on a Sunday. We did bring our own bath towels and were glad we did since the ones provide are very small and thin. We had the pool heated and used it daily. We enjoyed the backyard/pool area and the access to the beach. The game room was fun, everything worked and we liked being able to play music over the sound system in the game room and kitchen. The views are beautiful! We loved our stay!

This was our second time staying at this house and it was excellent this time around also.

This house accommodated a large family gathering and provided a perfect space for us to spend time together and time apart. It was clean, with lots of fun kid-friendly amenities, and its own beach access allowed for easy ocean visits. Great house!! We will definitively book it again!

This was a multi-generational vacation and it was absolutely wonderful! We swam, collected shells, played games, saw the sunrise and a pod of dolphins jumping…..they must have felt like we did! I The people at Kees made it so easy for us with excellent instructions both regarding checking in and leaving. If you’re looking for a terrific place to relax I really recommend Eleanor Dare.

Family Vacation
We took a family vacation to Nags Head. This listing was perfect for our trip. The beach access and cabana service was perfect. We really enjoyed all the games(pool table, shuffle board) and the movie room! I highly recommend this listing.

This home was fantastic. We had a wonderful stay and the location is absolutely perfect. You can even walk to the grocery store and local pizza restaurant. Our only challenge was with some of the TVs and hot water in one of the rooms. The Wi-Fi has a hefty job with so many TVs and personal devices connected, so I understand the challenge there. Some of the TVs would just buffer or simply cut off and power back on. Not a big deal but worth looking in to. Loved the well-stocked kitchen. We had absolutely everything we needed and more. I would definitely return and recommend the property.

This is a great house with a lot of space for several families. The relaxation of the beach and views are just magical. I went with my children and grandchildren and other family members and there was plenty of room for everyone. We were 10 adults, three children and a small dog. The kids loved the pool and the adults the hot tub - both of which are very clean. The daily beach chair and tent service were a wonderful addition. The house is comfortably decorated with some great beachy artwork. It wasn't so fancy that we had to constantly be worried about the kids like we've had to do at other places. The game room and theatre room were enjoyed but the AV systems are hard to use even though we had my son who does this type of thing for a living.

Great house and location! Our family loved it.

- Jessica V , Posted: 08/22/2022

An overall great time at at this house and property! We will return!

So happy we chose this house. We wanted a little family vacation before Thanksgiving and Christmas prep was off and running. It was perfect. We had so much fun. House is beautiful. Had a good time playing pool and the arcade game. We couldn't find the ball for foosball but we had a lot of other things we could do. Couldn't ask for anything better. Even the weather cooperated.

- Sara D , Posted: 05/23/2022

Great location, nice house right on the beach.

- Will K , Posted: 05/23/2022

If you are looking to stay in Nags Head this is the place. Home had everything one would be looking for. Location is extremely central to things to do within the area. You are also right in the middle for wanting to do things up north or down south. The beach was amazing and extremely private. There is not enough that I can say as to how great this place was. Thanks for letting us stay it helped us make family memories we will cherish for a lifetime!

- Seth H , Posted: 05/23/2022

This home is perfectly situated on the water, has amazing sunrises, quiet neighborhood, excellent amenities and the best perk? A huge pod of dolphins right in front of the house!!! 

- Crystal B , Posted: 05/23/2022

Absolutely stunning location, being able to walk out onto the beach was fabulous and the deck views were worth the trip. Generous shared living space available. 

- Erica , Posted: 05/23/2022

Can’t beat the location, right on the water. Kees was very communicative. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Everyone was so sweet and accommodating. Any questions we had were answered so quickly. LOVED the trip.

I loved the house and location. I can definitely say that my first time in OBX was unforgettable. I am now thinking to buy a property like Eleanor Dare in OBX. The whole process it was very easy, I have never experience anything like it. Last property I rented in MD, the requested background check from my husband and I. KEES was way to easy I couldn't believe it.

I am grateful for how spacious it was and the level of detail in their cleanliness. I don't need any kid rooms for the retreats I facilitate so having a double twin room instead of a bunked kids space was extremely helpful to serve grown women! Loved my stay here and will definitely be booking it again! The retreats I do 2x a year will probably continue to be at this residence! Loved it!

This is a terrific house in a terrific location! Don't hesitate to reserve your stay! Looking forward to our next visit.

Great home in Nags Head! Everything one can enjoy....sunrises, sunsets, pool, hot tub and super accommodations! We will be back! Pool maintenance staff were very friendly and thorough!

- Edward M , Posted: 06/29/2021

Excellent stay
We loved the property and it was exactly as shown on VRBO. The kitchen needs to be stocked better - we could not find any mixing bowls and there was not a non stock frying pan for eggs in the morning. Otherwise prestige.
