Very nice

Perfect location and set up for us and our crew. We were in town for a fishing tournament and had plenty of room for my boyfriend and I and 3 crew members. Would certainly handle more people, especially 3-4 couples or families. Room above garage with separate entry had mini fridge and couple arcade games, great place for kids or teens. Beautiful new outdoor shower and back covered deck. Very convenient location to marinas.

Heron's Nest - Perfect place to stay in Hatteras Village

Our crew of museum professionals stayed at Heron's Nest while installing artifacts in the newly renovated Graveyard of the Atlantic Museum. We had driven by the house on all other trips to Hatteras, wishing we could stay there but it was not available until this month. So glad we had the opportunity to live in this very special home for the past 10 days. Plenty of space for 3-4 adults to spread out, a great kitchen, two and a half baths and the most stunning deck out back with a tide pond and lots of wildlife, especially the herons who flocked to the trees surrounding the pond at sunset. Quiet, well-appointed, with great beds and everything you could ask for and then some. Jennifer and Scott, thank you for making your amazing home available to us while we finished up at the Museum.

Plenty of room

While only five of us were actually sleeping at the house, it was the gathering place for meals for fourteen and there was plenty of room. Very homey and comfortable. Will stay there again.

Fabulous Family Vacation

The house sits on the sound and every day egrets (large white seabirds) come home to nest in around the inlet out back. After a day at the beach to sit on the back porch and watch these birds come home to roost is quite the sight to behold. Very beautiful and relaxing. The home is well appointed with everything you need and very close to the beach. Short cart ride. Best house on the island.

Wonderful!

We had a fantastic stay. The home was centrally located in Hatteras, and we took several walks through the nature park located next door. The house had everything we needed and was comfortable for our family. We would stay again!

Amazing Week at the Beach

Our week on Hatteras Island was absolutely wonderful. The house was well equipped for our six person family, which is two adults two teens and two smaller children. We had an amazing time being a short bike ride, walk or drive from from everything on the island. If you have an off-road vehicle you can obtain a permit for the week to park on the beach, which we found very convenient due to our family size. This rental was truly ideal for a nice get away by the beach, truly relaxing! Any time I come back to Hatteras this is where I would love to stay!

First trip to Hatteras

First time using vrbo- got lucky! Home owner was great, communicated abs answered all of our questions! Checked in on us a few times, the house is spacious, in a quiet area, close to the beach or in walking distance to local stores and restaurants. The kids used bikes in garage, went fishing, we played corn hole, and took walks by marina. I will say while in a nice quiet location. We also took the ferry to Ocracoke Island Other attractions we drove about an hour to Kill Devil Hills but was not bad! Stop on the side of road and check out the sand dunes- Lastly, everyone was friendly- we will definitely return

Great place to stay!

We typically stay in 2-3 VRBO properties per year and this was hands down one of the cleanest properties we have ever stayed in. As soon as we walked in it smelled delightfully clean! We had 2 families with 4 teenagers total and the room above the garage was the perfect mancave for our teenage boys. The kitchen was stocked with everything you would need to cook up meals for 7. All the appliances are virtually brand new. The location made it easy to get to the beach, ferry, shopping, rentals basically anything you may need. Joel was the host with the most and readily available should you need any assistance. The cherry on top....the 20 white heron that roost around the pond in the backyard each night not to mention the 3 deer that wandered through one evening as well. If you want to stay in Hatteras Village, look no further. This is your place!

So happy about this rental

Herron’s Nest was perfect for us. Watching the birds fly into the trees surrounding the back yard pond at dusk is a truly unique experience. The deck was wonderful for morning coffee and evening chats. (You can hear the ocean, even if you don’t see it.) The house and kitchen were so nicely stocked. We really appreciated having the bikes, boogie boards, beach chairs, and even beach towels available for use. The house was very clean and comfortable. We were supposed to be a party of 10 and ended up being a group of six. This just gave us a little extra room that we enjoyed. The house is both tucked in from Rt 12, but central to everything. Some of us took advantage of the park trail and nice sidewalks for walking. Joel was a terrific host and we appreciated his laid back correspondence and suggestions about things in the area. Thank you for everything, Joel!

Wonderful place for our vacation

My wife and I booked our family vacation at the Heron's nest and could not have been happier. Joel was a pleasure to deal with before and during our stay. The house was perfect for our family - clean and accommodating with linens, washer/dryer and bikes to use. The loft room over the garage was perfect for our older boys. This was our first trip to OBX and we were glad to have rented in the less busy location of Hatteras. Situated on the Sound side, we enjoyed spectacular sunsets from the front yard of the house. The ocean was a quick walk (and even easier bike ride) to the boardwalk access, where we watched the sunrise and spent hours playing in the waves, hunting for shells and taking long strolls. Hatteras is an incredibly charming town with lots to offer - and the house was close to everything: food, shops, fishing, para-sailing, museums and incredible beaches. Our kids (six of them, ranging from ages 10 to 20) took full advantage of the available bikes to get around. We would definitely recommend the (free) ferry ride to Ocracoke island for a day. All in all, we had an incredible vacation and would definitely recommend staying at the Heron's Nest.

Wonderful trip!

We had a amazing time! This was only our second time to OBX and our first time to Hatteras. We fell in love with the natural beauty of the island and how it was more remote. The house was beautiful, very clean and comfortable. The central air was wonderful with the hot humid weather. The kitchen was well stocked and it was so convenient to have the bikes to take a ride around the island. The herons nesting at dusk behind the house at the pond was wicked cool to see and watch every night. Also we saw a few deer around the property as well. We debated renting a golf cart but decided not to because we enjoyed the beautiful and quick 10min walk to the beach. There is opportunity with free parking to go to different beach areas or even the sound side all in close proximity The beach at Hatteras Lighthouse by Cape point was one of our favorite with tons of big shells for the kids to look for. Check in/out was extremely easy. Joel was very kind and is a great responsive host. Joel thank you for hosting us we had a unforgettable family vacation. Go Sox!

Peace and quiet

Great location - close enough to walk to several great places, especially with the new walking path, but secluded enough to be peaceful and quiet. The house is clean and has everything you need and more. Would be a great place for folks who struggle with the stairs of a typical Hatteras home. My family had a great stay and would definitely recommend!

Heron's Nest Review

This home was what we hoped for and more! The property owner answered all of my questions prior to my arrival. Check in and check out were simple. The room over the garage made my kids feel like they had their own apartment for vacation. Most important to me is that it could only be accessed from inside the home! Of course safety is important for the kids! The beds and pillows were very comfortable. The home was clean and relaxing, and gave us plenty of space! Having a washer and dryer was great to keep all of the beach towels and bathing suits clean. My laundry was all washed and in the suitcase so I didn't have to wash it when I got home after a long drive! The back porch was a perfect area to relax in the shade in the evening and watch all of the Heron's in the trees surrounding the pond in the back yard. It was pretty amazing! It was so close to the beach it took only 2 minutes or so on the golf cart that we rented for the week. (The kids loved the golf cart) We watched the sunrise and sunset and collected shells and rocks. The home is very close to shopping, dining, and ICE CREAM! I would absolutely recommend this home. I hope to go back and stay again myself!!
