Nags Head and then another 5 miles of natural beach to explore with large dunes and no houses ending at Oregon Inlet. A one mile drive south takes you to the Bodie Island Light House which you can climb to the top and have a view of the entire island or walk over to the sound for some back sound fishing. The Oregon Inlet Fishing Center is just 4 miles further south where you can charter a trip for yourself or see the afternoon catch from the charter boats.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at “Down South”! The house was exactly as described and met our expectations. Centrally located on the islands allowed us to visit places north and south. The beach was just a short walk from the house. We saw a couple of coyotes out and about, so be careful when walking in the evening!

Perfect in just about every way. Enough beds for me and my friends, steady wi-fi, In walking distance from the beach, and a short drive away from everything we wanted to do. We would definitely rebook at this house if we ever come back in the future.
