Forbes Fever is just as listed. The property although pet friendly was extremely clean. No evidence of previous fur babies. Our two small dogs accompanied us and the fenced in yard was a huge asset for them. The home is very spacious with an old school feel. We absolutely loved it !!Communication with the host was easy. Speaking with the property manager and the maintenance man, it was easy to see how much this property means to them. Both were extremely helpful and informative. We felt more like family as opposed to renters. This will definitely be a future consideration for our family in its entirety.

The folks who manage Forbes Fever are unbelievably competent and kind. Ronni from Rentals on the Ocean called us a few days ahead of our scheduled arrival to warn us about a winter storm that was forecast to arrive on our check-in day. She let us come down early and check in without charging us any extra. Then another storm was forecast for our departure day and so we departed two days early and Ronni gave us a refund for that, even though we told her it wasn't necessary since we arrived early. Incredible empathy and kindness. The place was fantastic - old school Nags Head, baby. Yet all the modern conveniences one expects on the OBX in 2026.

We loved the house. It had so much room for all of us to spread out if we wanted, and a fabulous den for us to all gather together too. The location gave us access to everything; all the places we wanted to go. We had a wonderful stay. Miss Ronni was fantastic to work with to get the arrangements taken care of! We absolutely loved it!

Had a great stay and your property. Home was very accommodating to a party of 11. Kitchen was small but well stacked with anything you needed. The one towel per person did not think was a great idea. Location was fantastic and home was clean upon our arrival. The outdoor porches in front and back had beautiful composite decking, as well as there outdoor dining tables. We stayed 4 nights and had zero issues. That’s always a plus. I would recommend staying here and would stay again myself.

Great location, well stocked with everything we needed. There were only 2 of us, so plenty of space. Unfortunately we arrived at a bad time, tropical storm followed by a Nor'easter. The accommodations were very comfortable and if you had to be shut in for 7 days, this was the right place.

Very clean, great location. For a pet friendly home, no issue with cleanliness or smell. You wouldn't even know it. All but two beds very comfortable. Excellent service for a door lock malfunction and very pleasant staff. Only one issue with staff using the water for the linen storage/washing under the house, which while using, none of the water in the house worked. I walked down and spoke to the lady and she was very pleasant and stopped immediately and then was a non-issue. Kitchen items fully stocked. Older yes, but 4.6 out of 5. Would definitely come back again!!!

Great stay at Forbes Fever
The house is in a great location by the beach. Great spaces for gathering, grilling and relaxing in the pool or elsewhere. S. Nags Head is close to a ton of restaurants and other activities. Very family friendly and accessible. The rooms and beds were nice too, though there is a bit of a strange layout that meant my elderly parent in laws would come right out of the elevator into my wife and my bedroom. For that bedroom the en suite bathroom is shared with another bedroom. It's a small issue and one that might not be a problem for your group. Overall it's a great place, with great hosts on a stunning and perfect beach!

The best bang for your buck!
Everything about this property was a surprise. You could see the sunrise from one window and the sunset from the other in the top bedroom. You could walk straight out to the beach or stay in and play games. Our teens that came hardly spent time on their phones because they were so busy doing fun things! You did not have to go anywhere to have a good time, just stay at the house and enjoy all the amenities. The last surprise was the 2nd fridge!
