Stinson Ranch: Soundfront home in Nags Head with amazing water and sunset vistas and a great dock to kayak and paddleboard from!

Bed Sizes: 2 Queen, 1 Double, 2 Twin

Your stay at "Stinson Ranch" will be an memorable experience. This resurrected structure is a duplicate of the original Stinson's Ranch which was destroyed by Hurricane Irene. It rises out of the Roanoke Sound on pilings that give you a expansive 180-degree view of the water, sky, birds, boats, unbelievable sun and moon sets, and anything else that might venture by. The original structure was constructed in 1903 in the old Nags Head architectural style and the new "Ranch" has the same familiar feeling offering comfort and appeal.

This vacation hide-a-way is ideal for anyone looking for a unique and really appealing stay over the water. You need only to walk down a flight of stairs and you are there...ready to swim, float, boat, or just walk out to the sandbar. Fishing, crabbing, sunbathing, reading, journal writing, and star-gazing are all recommended activities on the enormous lower deck or the comfortable upper deck. Meals are taken while watching the sunset from an outside table seating 8.

Stinson Ranch has a shower platform below the bungalow and a long set of steps leading down to a platform over the water from which you can jump into a kayak or slip into the water (at this point the water is about 2 feet deep depending on the wind and waves). The "Ranch" is ideal for water lovers; it is effortlessly reachable and kids can be monitored from the deck above. Hours upon hours can be spent just walking and playing in the water out in the sun or under the bungalow complimentary from the rays of the sun. You can walk numerous hundred yards into the sound and never get over your head....a sandbar rises a hundred yards out and provides a great place for water activities such as frisbee, volleyball, paddleball, or just sitting and appreciating the view. There is never a lack of things to do at the bungalow, and you never have to leave to have a great time. Even when the weather is not so friendly, this place has charm and comfort to offer. With a gas fireplace in the corner, you can be warm and still step out onto the deck for a brisk breeze on a still wintry day that warms the spirit.

Stinson Ranch is complete with all modern amenities and is indeed a "step back into history" with tons of the former bungalow honored in photos and objects. The downstairs is an open floor plan with a cozy sitting area and kitchen eating area combined. The kitchen is equipped with everything needed to prepare a sumptuous meal with a central table. A doorway leads to two bedrooms, one containing two single beds and another with a queen-size bed. A sizable bathroom with a shower sits between the two. A set of stairs leads up to a huge loft that contains one queen and one double bed. A modest half-bath occupies one corner. Five windows provide a majestic view of the water and Manteo in the distance. A deck is attached to the loft and is "the end of the world" as far as sitting, reading, watching the sunsets, and having a cup of coffee in the morning or your favorite drink in the evening.

Stinson Ranch is really a haven of rest and relaxation. It retains the charm and character which the Stinson family has brought to it since 1963. Nothing in your imagination can prepare you for a stay at this one-of-a-kind bungalow. ("Author: Bill S.")

Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, television set or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call prevents a lot of difficulties.
Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are away, just like you would back home.
