Great Place to Stay!
The BU was a great place for us to vacation. It is very well-appointed, with ample kitchen appliances and gadgets, a comfortable great room and rec room, and bedrooms with updated beds and furniture. One of the best things about this rental is the location. From the top floor, it is easy to see the ocean, and if you have the windows open, you can hear the surf. You cannot hear the beach road at all! The owners have also supplied the house with sand toys, beach chairs, puzzles, and games. We were very happy with our choice and hope to return another year.

Ocean view beach rental
We were so pleased with this 3 level home. We traveled with new parents, our grand daughter & their dog. There was plenty of space & it included everything we needed. The location to the beach was awesome. We could set up for the day & go back & forth if needed.
We were close to Bodie Island lighthouse, a quick ride to Manteo & golf in Nags Head.
I would recommend this house for a small family!

This is a lovely property that is in a great location. The floors could have been cleaner and the laundry from the previous tenants was never picked up but we greatly enjoyed our week at the beach!

Had a great time. Location was awesome. Views from house were good. House could have been cleaner. There was a cigarette butt on the window sill. And there was hair on the bathroom wall and lots of dust bunnies under the bed.

Great House and Location
This was our 3rd year renting this home and we have already reserved it again for next year. It is perfect for our family, and the location is awesome. Being steps away from beach make quick trips back to the house a breeze, and the beach is never over crowded.

BU stay on OBX
We had a great time at the beach. The BU was a really nice house. We loved how close to the beach it was. Some suggestions are to put a dish rack in the kitchen. The master bedroom tv did not work (Both not a big problem). There was a plastic cup with cigarette butts on the second level deck that was gross wish it was cleaned up prior to visit. The kitchen was well supplied and excellent. Beds were very good. All in all it was a great week.

Perfection Locaton for Kids!
This is our 4th year renting The BU and we have aleady signed up for next year, too. The location is everything to us - access to the beach is steps away, view of ocean from the deck is awesome, and it's not that far from Fishheads. The cottage is always clean, neat, and well-stocked. Our family loves the downstairs area; once the little ones are tucked away, we spend the rest of the evening playing pool and hot tubbing! Highly recomond, especially familes with small children.

We have stayed at The BU for the past three years because we love the area and the property’s proximity to the beach is fantastic! The house is well stocked with supplies and a great value. We dread leaving at the end of our week but always look forward to returning!

Awesome ocean front views in an ocean side house,
Perfect location South Nagshead. House was described as experience. Minor issue came up owner corrected or responded fairly quickly. Very short walk to beach. Quiet neighborhood. Good use of floor space throughout the house top level offering amazing views of the ocean and beach.

We love this house!
This is our second year at this house and we have already booked again for next year! It fits our family perfectly! The location to the beach is the best, especially for my grandchildren and dogs. The house has everything we need in the kitchen, and as far as beach stuff. The house is clean and very comfy. I would highly recommend this home to anyone!
Manager's Response

Restfull retreat!
My husband and I had a wonderful time here! We brought our 2 dogs and they had a great time running with us through the waves. The home is in a great location amd was extremely clean when we arrived. There were just a few things that should be addressed. The toaster is a 4 slice but only one side works. The stove needs to be leveled off, trying to cook on it was challenging because everything would roll to the front of the pans. We couldn't use the grill because the utensils are kept outside with it and they are rusted. Also, a few fluffy pillows on the sectional would help greatly with comfort. Again, we had a wonderful, restful vacation and would definitely come back! Thise little things didn't take away from our great experience, just thought we'd bring it to your attention.
Manager's Response
Thank you, Hilda! We welcome our guests feedback to help make our homes even better and will pass along your recommendations for updates and minor fixes. We hope to welcome you back to the beach very soon!

Wonderful, Windy Vacation
Weather wasn’t as nice as we had hoped but that didn’t stop us from enjoying the house and wonderful location as much as we could. House was well-kept and stocked for whatever we needed, including a margarita machine! Room setup was great and the beds were very comfortable! The short walk over the dune was wonderful for the kids to just go and play. We also loved the long stretches of sidewalks for our daily walks. Hope to come back and stay next year!

Perfect Beach House
This house was so comfortable and accommodating for two families (four children). We appreciated an easy walk to the beach, evenings on the deck with that gorgeous view, dinners at the large dining table, ping pong on the first floor and movies with the great sound system. Everything was clean and in good condition. We would definitely stay again!

New Years Getaway - 2020 !
We spent the week of New Years 2020 at this home and had a wonderful time. The area is terrific for family, very residential and thus relaxing. The home was a perfect one for entertaining, especially if you have children with the game room in the lower level and kitchen, family room on the 3rd floor! We loved the Hot Tub !!!
Manager's Response
Thank you for reviewing your stay at The BU. I am happy to see that you enjoyed welcoming the New Year here on the Outer Banks and that the home and area met your expectations. We hope to have you stay with us again in the future!

Great House, Location and Dog Friendly
The house was just as pictured, super clean, and the people we really easy to get in touch with, regarding questions before arrival. Once we got closer to our vacation time there was a hospitality app which made things really easy for checking in and all information about the area and house, we were even able to check out with a simple click of a button in the app. Also, we vacationed with our 2 relatively big dogs and the carpet on the stairs and the landings between floors made it easy for our basset hound, short legged and not a good stair climber, to get up and down throughout the visit.
Manager's Response
Thank you for taking the time to review your stay with us! I am pleased to see that we provided you with wonderful customer service leading up to your stay with us and that you found the app both helpful as well as user-friendly. I am also happy to see that the home provided a wonderful vacation destination both for you and your furry family members. We hope you will be back to visit with us again soon.

Family Spring Break 2019
Our family stayed at The Bu 4\20\19 - 5\4\19 and would recommend staying there again. The house is well maintained and the kitchen is equipped with everything you may need, but the house needs a dum-waiter to get your groceries to the 3rd floor! We would recommend that the owners replace all the bed mattresses -- you can't hide a bad mattress by putting 4 inches of foam on top of it!
We are thankful our stay was before the beach nourishment project started. The project started at Proteus Ct. beach access late afternoon on 5\3\19;it was very interesting to watch till you realized your beach access would be blocked by flood lights and 4 dozers pushing sand pumped on to the beach 24 hours a day! On the brightside the beach will be beautiful after the project is completed.

Hi Stanley, thank you for your review of THE BU! Your comments of the mattresses have been passed along to the owners of the home. We're glad you found that the beach nourishment was an interesting process! We certainly know it's an inconvenience to a vacation, but it is a much needed action to make sure our beaches are around to be enjoyed for years to come. We look forward to welcoming you back to the Outer Banks soon!

This was one of our favorite homes, and we have been renting at the Outer Banks for many, many years. It is well-equipped, and the ocean views are amazing.

Two weeks of R&R
First time staying at The BU, loved it! We were fortunate enough to stay for two weeks and the house was amazing, it had everything we needed and more. We like to cook and the kitchen was fully stocked and it was great that it opened up to the living room and views were great. All the bedrooms were a nice size and the family room was a huge hit, especially when we had a little rain. Access to the beach was a short walk and easy access, loved it as we spent all day there. Will definitely come back to this house, can't wait. The only issue was the parking, it was a bit of a challenge to get 4 cars parked, but we did manage to make it work. Thank the owners for a great vacation!

Great location right near the beach
We had a great vacation staying at this property overall. It was right near the beach as promised and this was great for us having young kids. More than enough room for at least one family and amenities for the week. We were a little disappointed in the cleanliness of the floors and general areas, although it was a fairly minor inconvenience. The only other qualm was that the TV's were not the easiest to use and get working all the time, but again this was a relatively small item. You can't beat the location though and it is well situated if you'd like to go into Nags Head or Kitty Hawk and even making a day trip down to Hatteras. Recommended, especially if you want quick easy access to the beach for your vacation.

We will pass your feedback along to the owner regarding the TV's and work to implement instructions for easier use. We hope to welcome you and your family back to the Outer Banks again in the near future.

Wonderful Holiday Escape
We had a fantastic week long stay at The Bu over the holidays. This is our second time at this property and we would definitely return. The view and beach access alone makes it worth the stay. The kitchen is fully stocked, pool table, table tennis and hot tub were great to have, the keyless entry was a wonderful convenience and the beds were extremely comfortable. Being able to bring our dog was the icing on the cake. Thank you for a great stay!

Ron and Marta’s review on #1054 The BU
Overall we had a wonderful stay at The BU. We arrived about an hour early and called property management receiving permission to enter the rental early. This was extremely nice as we had been on a the road for 8 hrs.
The home was in great location, we (and our dog) enjoyed our time even more because this time of year few other people were on the beach. The view of the ocean was great and we also enjoyed several nightly pool games. Although my game didn’t improve, we give the home high marks for the pool table, chairs for beach use and the hot tub. We had lots of day trips including lighthouses, Wright brothers Museum and Jockeys Ridge. Ron even caught a couple of trout!

Great stay at The BU!
We rented the Bu for a week in early August 2017. Our party consisted of three families (Myself, my wife and 3 year old son; my brother, his wife and their 2 children ages 2 and 8; and my parents). This house fit our needs for the week perfectly. Very spacious and well appointed, and right on the beach. It is in South Nags Head, so you have a little drive if you want to hit the shopping or restaurants, but the quieter pace was just what our group was looking for. We visit the Outer Banks about every other summer, and we liked it so much that The Bu is certainly at the top of the list for our next trip south.

awesome beach house and view
The house was very clean, everyroom in the house was what the pictures showed. It was beautiful.I was so happy that they allowed pets, our Lab just loved the beach, I hated to leave!!! everyone around us was very polite, The hot tub was maintained at least 2 times that we stayed there it was very clean, Loved how close the steps were to the beach. We will rent this again when we plan another vacation,the beach was very private, all in all a wonderful time.

Great location, great house.
We loved staying at the BU. Watched dolphins from the top deck every morning and a short walk to the beach every day. The house was well equipped with everything from pots and pans to beach accessories.

Best Beach Bargain in Off-Season - Pet Friendly!
We loved The Bu. The house is fully equipped. The view and beach access are wonderful. The ping pong net was broken, but we rigged it up so we could play and there was only one ping pong ball. The house has nice furniture and the unit was nice and clean when we arrived. We can't wait to return.
Manager's Response
Thank you for taking the time to provide us feedback regarding "The BU!" The location of this home is incredible! The views and proximity to the closest beach access make for an enjoyable trip to the Outer Banks! We will have someone take a look at fixing the ping pong table to ensure other guests do not have this concern in the future. We look forward to welcoming you back to the Outer Banks for many more years to come.

Beautiful family vacation at The BU !
We rented The BU for Easter break and our sons 10th birthday. The house was beautiful, super clean and so close to the beach! The amenities were top notch and nothing was forgotten! We loved listening to the waves and letting the kids walk to the beach while watching them from the deck. Made lasting family memories in this gorgeous home! Thank you for sharing it! :-)
Manager's Response
Thank you for your feedback regarding "The BU!" The owners have thought of everything and are sure to keep the home in tip-top shape. The sound of the waves crashing and the memories are things you will cherish forever. We hope to welcome you back to the Outer Banks again in the future.

Perfect Christmas Vacation
Absolutely perfect place to vacation for winter. The house was in a great location with marvelous ocean views and a short drive to activities in Nags Head, Kitty Hawk and Manteo. The house was extremely well equipped--best in out 18 years of coming to the Outer Banks. The kitchen not only had everything we needed--including 2 coffee makers--everything was high end and great quality. Each room had its own TV and cable access. The beds and pillows were very good, with plenty of blankets. We loved the gas fire place, the big breakfast bar, the big dining table. Out kids used the pool table and ping pong table constantly. The grill was in good condition. We also commend Beach Realty for making our stay over the holiday weekend work so well; even though it was a holiday, they were really attentive. The keyless entry was a great feature so we could arrive late on Christmas night. Our kids are already asking us to book this again for next year.
Manager's Response
We hope you had a very Merry Christmas and thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Your recommendation is appreciated and we hope you had a wonderful New Year! I can speak for the owner in saying, we welcome you back anytime!

Wonderful Stay
We stayed for 5 days the beginning of December and the house was wonderful. Very comfortable and equipped. The beach view was amazing and only steps away. The fireplace made a cozy addition. House was very clean and appointed. Will definitely consider renting in the warmer summer months. Would make a very nice rental for any family.

The Lord's planned get away
We came after Hurricane Matthew, but this house had power and was very clean and comfortable. We loved walking our dog on the beach at all hours. We loved the views. We couldn't do all that was offered at the house in the few days. Very relaxing. Well thought out house and provisions.

Returning to the "BU" is now a family tradition......?
We have stayed at the "BU" 2 weeks in 2015 and 2 weeks in 2016 - already pre- reserved the "BU" for 2 weeks in 2017 ! THAT SAYS IT ALL ! Loved the amazing views from the deck! Couldn't have asked for a better location - just steps to the beach ! Appreciate the dog friendly amenity which is very important to us. Looking forward to next year - but we have so many happy memories from the years staying at the "BU". The Beach Realty staff and maintenance (if needed) were excellent ! THANK YOU owners and Beach Realty !
Manager's Response

Perfect size for 6 adults and 2 kids.
We REALLY enjoyed the proximity to the beach. This place was a great size for 6 adults and 2 kids, although we could have used 1 more shower (3 was adequate, however). Lots of amenities in the house, and the kitchen is well-stocked with dishes and utensils. Looking forward to staying here again someday.

Steps to the beach
Great location and steps to the beach. Pool table/table tennis was a great hit with the kids. House was wonderful although it was a little sparing with cookware if you plan to do some cooking while at the beach. The matress I slept on definitely needs a replacement as it was like sleeping on the floor. I am typically one for a firm mattress but this was beyond firm. Other than that there were no complaints overall a great rental!!

This was our 5th year at this rental property and we recently had another great stay! This home is comfortably furnished and the floor plan is ideal for family gatherings as well as quiet time on the deck with a good book. Ocean and sunset views are amazing!

Week at The BU
As always this home is a pleasure to stay in for the week and there were only minor observations this year compared to our previous stays. The initial condition of the home was not as clean as previous years. No one had dusted and other minor cleaning issues. There were ants in the kitchen not extensive but should be addressed to avoid a bigger problem. The keyless entry system was not set up with the correct code to support our early check-in time and then could not be corrected until having a technician come to the house. Not the best way to start the week.

BEST VACATION OF MY LIFE SO FAR
OK so I don't get to vacation more than once a year, but this was the best vacation thus far. Who doesn't love time at the beach? Well it's even better when you've rented a fantastic house. We rented a total of 8 houses for a family vacation at the outer banks this year, of those 8 houses I visited them all and personally thought none compared to this one, the Bottoms Up! Overall finish and comfort was better than home. View was perfect. And it's right on the beach so it's convenient. 1054 doesn't have a pool, but that didn't matter to us. It's fairly centrally located so you can easily explore north to south with home in the middle. Nothing like waking up and eating breakfast on a third floor balcony watching a dolphin pod!
Manager's Response
Thank you so much for your feedback. This is the best kind of review. We are so happy that your family loved the home and had a great vacation. The view is perfect and definitely a crowd pleaser. We hope to see you at the Bu next year!

A Wonderful Location, House, and View
Had such an amazing time in January with my husband and dog. The house could use a bit of paint on the outside, but inside it is well cared for, well stocked, and above our expectations. Highly recommend. The downside was our hot tub broke down repeatedly. It seemed to be an odd situation, as it kept coming on and off intermittently.The first time, maintenance came out and it was working within hours. The second time, maintenance never came to our knowledge. By later the following day, it was up and running again. Wish we could have enjoyed it our last day, though.
Manager's Response
Thank you for your feedback about "The BU!" We are sorry to hear about the issues you encountered with your hot tub. We know how special this amenity is during the off-season. It is wonderful to hear that you were able to enjoy the beach with your husband and pooch! We look forward to welcoming you back to the Outer Banks for years to come!

3 Nights of Christmas at The BU
We had a wonderful time! The property had all we could even think of needing with the kitchen fully stocked and labeled clearly. The weather contributed to our fantastic beach front stay, but even if we had bad weather, there was plenty to do with the movies, games, books, hot tub and game room! We brought our dogs and the property was set up great with minimal carpeting, making the place feel very clean even though I'm sure many dogs pass through. Beds were very comfortable and we slept like babies with the sounds of the ocean.

Review of The BU
We had a wonderful time in this home. The views were great, the house was easy to get to and we were immediately comfortable in our surroundings. The first level provided much entertainment in the way of a hot tub, pool table, table tennis and a TV. The middle level contained all the bedrooms as well as a washer and dryer. We all enjoyed our rooms and beds. The top level provided gorgeous views of the ocean, a spacious kitchen and even more spacious living area perfect for chatting, football game watching, and game playing. Each bathroom had one roll of toilet paper provided and there was a roll of paper towels in the kitchen as well, more than we expected. The one thing we did not like is the fact that you have to drive back to a Beach Realty office to drop off keys to the home, which is a major inconvenience when out of your way (a total of 50 minutes out of mine). The realty company should have a drop box at the house to make it more convenient for guests. All in all, a great home to rent.
Manager's Response
We are glad you enjoyed your vacation at The BU! Great owners are providing Keyless Entry for 2016, so you will not have to bring the keys back to the office! Thank you for your review and we hope to see you next year!

The perfect beach home . . . The BU. . .
Absolutely the best beach home we have rented in the years we have been vacationing at the OBX. Everything that we needed was available for our use - the owners have a very well maintained and clean home. Couldn't have asked for a better location - the view was amazing ! ! ! Thank you for being a pet friendly home and welcoming our two pugs - with our appreciation.
