The Happy Parrot is a happy place!

Located in the southern part of Nags Head, the Happy Parrot is the perfect destination for an extended family vacation, a fishing trip with buddies, a girls' getaway weekend, or any occasion where fun, relaxation, and rejuvenation are on the agenda.

This three bedroom, two bath oceanside home is bursting with charm and personality. Colorful with a "nautical" theme decor, the Happy Parrot boasts an open common living space that includes a full kitchen with a seated bar, a separate dining area, and a comfortable family room with a large television. Adjacent to this area is a beautiful sunroom, well-appointed for you to enjoy a quiet place with your morning coffee or simply as a respite from the day's activities. Separate bedrooms and bathrooms provide comfort and privacy during your stay.

Just 300 yards from the lovely beaches of South Nags Head and convenient to all local attractions!

The area is known for its natural beauty; exceptional fishing; quaint, small town atmosphere; convenience to dining and shopping; and the many historical spots waiting to be discovered. Gorgeous uncrowded beaches and 6+ miles of bike/walking/jogging trails also help make South Nags Head a popular destination for travelers.

Other nearby attractions include the town of Manteo, where you'll find the Roanoke Island Festival Park, North Carolina Aquarium, Elizabethan Gardens, The Lost Colony Waterside Theater, and Manteo Waterfront Shopping District.

The home is lovely, clean and overall, well-appointed. Great proximity to the beach. Not thrilled with Roku for TV--need to include some instructions. Also, there is an apparent ongoing ant issue in the kitchen. Need some cabinet space for guest groceries. Apprecicated staff accommodating my request to not have to come to the office to receive entry code and response to a maintenance issue. Would rent this home again.

We had good weather for our 2 week stay. Three pwople, plenty of room in this bungalow. Our initial impression was not good as cleaning was sub par which was addressed. Also TV's were old but we eventually figured the streaming services (good). We liked the freshly painted interior and decorations, very cheery and bright. Beds ok, comforable. Location was good although slightly farther to shopping than previous stays HP is closer to Manteo and Lightouse beaches and harbor. Our third property in 3 years and the best of the 3. Overall we would stay here again.
Edward,
Thank you for the review.
We do apologize for the cleaning issues but are glad you called and gave us the chance to make it right for you.
You are right in saying the Happy Parrot is a bright and cheerful place, which makes for a wonderful holiday.
Hope to see you again in 2023.

What a great location! We found exactly what we were looking for at this comfortable cottage across from the beach. Contained all the amenities we were expecting. Washer/dryer, outside shower a huge plus and full kitchen. Location was close to walking trails, bike routes, restaurants and more. Easy access to beach was amazing. Carolina shires took care of a minor issue we encountered professionally & were right there for us. We’ll be booking again next year, couldn’t be happier

This little beach house is located in a lovely quiet section of south Nags Head, yet close to everything. It's right across the street from the beach with a private beach access. The house is exactly what we were hoping for in a beach vacation! It's decorated in fun beachy colors and furnishings. The kitchen was well equipped and there's a nice BBQ for use outside. The beds are comfy and were all made for us with fresh sheets on our arrival. A REAL PLUS!! There's a full size washer and dryer that came in very handy... Sand toys provided.... Walking distance to the pier..<br/>We loved our stay and hope to come back!:)

House was clean and described appropriately online. Location was quiet and in a well maintained neighborhood. We loved being able to walk to a cute restaurant/bar on a pier called Fish Heads. Everything was as expected, however, we had to add an extra hour and 15 minutes to our 6 hour drive due to having to go out of our way to get the code for the door. It would have been much better for us had the code been texted or emailed to us beforehand, as we were exhausted from the long drive. Otherwise, good experience.

I was very disappointed with the location of the property. It was listed as Semi-Ocean front which I did not consider to be. There was no view of the ocean. at all. The sunroom was disappointing. The only thing you could see from there was a Century Link building and your neighbors. This room was not inviting at all. The house was old with some renovations but the laundry room was old and definitely in need of some cleaning. We did enjoy our stay but would not rent that property again.

The only issue was the beach chairs. They were rather flimsy, and one was rusted. In the end, 2 broke and were not usable. I suggest getting something sturdier.

This property was very clean, comfortable and well-equipped. Perfect proximity to our favorite restaurants and the beach in South Nags Head. Most of our OBX beach homes have been oceanfront, but this is a great option if oceanfront is not a priority. Definitely worth the price. I would highly recommend.

Myself and a friend both took our kids, age 2 and 9 down for a week. The house was beautiful and clean and cozy. There were games provided although we brought many of our own toys and activities and there was plenty of space to set that up. Two bathrooms made it much easier for my potty training two year old. The outdoor space was a nice place to hang out and for the kids to ride scooters and play when a tropical storm made it so we couldn't swim at the beach. Location was great. It was a really fantastic week long vacation.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was comfortable and just the right size for 4-6 people. Kitchen had everything needed to cook in and coupons were provided if eating out was preferred. A little bit of a walk from public access but nothing outrageous. TV provided many channels to watch when winding down and downstairs storage room was great for locking up valuables that you didn't want to bring upstairs, like bikes and nice beach chairs. There were also games and cards provided. Homey and beachy all in one.
