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.

Sandra's apartment was all my husband and i needed to enjoy all that the Outer Banks has to offer. The location is perfect for getting around to all the major sights in the area. Having access to the community pool for $6/ person was a nice respite from the extreme heat one day, and being able to ride the provided bikes there was an added bonus. The apartment itself was cozy and we enjoyed the decor. Very clean. Sandra was a great host.

My partner and I had the best time on our first trip to the Outerbanks. This cozy cute and adorably decorated apartment, hosted by Sandy, was so close to all the attractions in Nags Head. We were within a ten minute drive to the beach, golf course, Jockeys Ridge and Lighthouse. Highly recommend to anyone for a fun packed vacation!

The Backyard was a nice calm after a day at the beach. Location was great, it was close to just about everything and in a nice quiet area of Nags Head. The apartment was clean, well stocked, great towels, and comfy bed. Thank you Sandra for such a great weekend! We'll definitely book for our next Nags Head trip.

We had booked the Backyard a couple of years ago but unfortunately Sandra was unable to host due to an accident. We knew that we wanted to rebook this year because the space looked so special and we’re glad we did!
The Backyard was comfortable and convenient and so nicely decorated. Sandra was a great host and we loved our visit!

Exeptional accomodation...clean, spacious, quiet, well stocked kitchen, beach supplies and comfy furniture/bed with great AC and fans for circulation. Private with outside space overlooking the yard. Fun eclectic beach vibe and excellent communication and availability of host. Safe and secure with driveway parking. Location was perfect for exploring north and south of OBX with restaurants and markets abound.
Beaches are beautiful and widlife peaceful areas as well as martime history ( and some history in the air also...😉).
Five star...loved it.

Hi, this was the second time staying with Sandra at her beautiful home. Her list of restaurants is spot on and she is very accommodating for guests. My wife and I love the area and the restaurants and beaches.
Best Wishes, The Reilly’s

Sandra is very nice and has very good taste. My husband and I enjoyed the beauty of the interior and the beautiful gardens and outdoor patios and dining areas. We had everything at our fingertips and it exceeded out expectations. We slept really well and the inside was super comfortable. Will want to return.
10.0 / 10.0
We would stay here again. Sandra was very hospitable, welcoming, happy and kind. The part of her home where we stayed was comfortable, spacious, clean, close to everything and very affordable. Sandra had thought of everything and has done a wonderful job to ensure your vacation is better than you thought it would be, including having amenities you didn’t know you’d need, such as a beach umbrella, umbrella anchor for the sand, beach chairs, bicycles, outside shower to rinse off sand, etc. we are looking forward to coming back and staying here again.

We loved our stay! The place was cute, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The bikes were also a huge plus. We rode them everywhere! We would definitely stay again.

The property is well kept, clean, comfortable and has the most beautiful and eclectic decor! Sandra was so welcoming and gave us all the information we needed about the area to have an amazing trip. Checkin and check out was easy, the kitchen had everything we needed to cook up some amazing meals and she provided beach chairs/umbrella, bikes and all the towels you'll need for a week...not to mention that whatever she washes all of the linens in smells like heaven. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for something that feels as cozy as home.

This was our first time at OBX and everything far exceeded our expectations. The backyard was the perfect home away from home for us. Sandra’s kindness, hospitality and attention to detail was spot on. We loved the short bike ride (bikes provided) to the beach and hanging in the quaint yard. Suggestions for food checked all our boxes and service was great everywhere we went. We truly do not have one complaint. I would give 10 stars if allowed.
10.0 / 10.0
The Backyard was just as advertised and also just what we needed this week - no hassles and no stress! Sandra was an excellent host and was available for questions or recommendations. We have stayed here twice now and never had any issues. We highly recommend staying here when you are in The Outerbanks!!!

The property is spacious and well appointed. The interior was clean. The only cleanliness issue was outside. The outdoor furniture was not clean and could not be used. Otherwise, the stay was enjoyable and convenient for the area attractions.

Excellent location and very quiet. Very well appointed, to include all kitchen utensils and toiletries, two tvs and tons of reading material -- including my favorite, "Blue Highways." Sandy was very helpful and provided us with a lot of "local" information.
