We will make you feel right at home at The Backyard. This is a downstairs unit. We live upstairs. If you are coming to the Outer Banks to party, shoot off fireworks, and generally make a lot of noise this is not the place for you!! We live in a neighborhood of working people who are not on vacation. We will do our best to respect your privacy and stay as quiet as possible upstairs – just keep in mind that 3 people live upstairs and the normal amount of noise should be expected.
If you are looking for a Motel 6 or Holiday Inn type accommodation - this is not for you. But if you are interested in living with the real people of the Outer Banks - this might just be perfect. We are a laid back, fun family and offer to share our beautiful property with you and we are available to answer any questions you may have about local restaurants, etc. Whatever it is – having lived here for over 30 years – we’ve either done it, or know someone who has!
Completely restored, updated and uniquely furnished, we have missed no detail inside or out. You’ll find a cozy, turn-key-ready home away from home with everything you need for day-to-day relaxation.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
The property is a 100% smoke-free environment. This includes cigarettes, vapes, cigars, etc....Not only do I not allow smoking inside, this means you can not walk around my yard or stand in my driveway to smoke either. If you are a smoker- you might want to stay somewhere else.

The property is suitable for 2 people and one car.

Please check out our calendar for availability.

Perfect place to spend some blustery fall weather at the beach. Totally everything you need to hunker down and be comfy. Add your own groceries or take out and enjoy the sweet comfort of this lovely place. I love visiting the coast in the off season but I can see this place would be ideal for all seasons in Nags Head. Thanks Sandra for making this place available.

Sandra is an amazing host!! She is excellent with communicating, very quick to respond and eager to help and answer questions. The place was adorable. We enjoyed grilling on the private back patio and riding the bikes around the neighborhood and to the beach. The location was close to everything and easy to navigate. I would definitely recommend Sandra and her property to anyone interested in visiting the area.

Great location and loved the quirky art. Sandra was very helpful.
10 / 10Outstanding·Sep 2025
Sandra was extremely welcoming and her home was a perfect stay for my fiancé and I! “The Backyard” is perfectly located, tucked back in a quiet neighborhood with easy walking around the sound side of the island. Sandra was very communicative and had great recommendations of things to do because she’s lived in the OBX for 30 years and knows her stuff! The house was perfect sized and had everything we needed including beach chairs, an umbrella, and bikes! We’ll definitely be looking for this listing for future stays!
