where memories are made

Schooner’s Eclipse was designed with love to create a cozy at home feel for you to create new memories in. It features an open concept main floor overlooked by the 3rd floor balcony. We have provided you with a well stocked kitchen, outdoor grill, a smart tv in the family room, upstairs queen bedroom, and lower level kids room! We offer complimentary high-speed Internet and cable TV. Our wrap around deck is one of our favorite features, or you can choose to have coffee on the back deck to start your day.

We are located in Nags Head soundside in Sourthridge at MP 13.5, in a peaceful neighborhood that is excellent for bike riding, rollerblading and walking. Schooner’s Eclipse sits within walking distance to view nightly sunsets. Walk or bike to the bay in minutes and the ocean's public beach access is only a half mile away! We are within walking distance as a bike trail and sidewalks are available, but we advise driving over to the beach access. You can also take the car less than a mile away to Jockey’s Ridge State Park to walk up the sand dunes. Minutes away from Kitty Hawk Kites, you can book kite boarding, hang gliding lessons, or a dolphin tour. Nearby you will also find Nags Head Fishing Pier. You will find public access parking along the beach road to visit the ocean before exploring the countless dining and shopping Nags Head has to offer you and your family.

While just far enough south for some relaxation and serenity, the beach house is close to great restaurants, shopping and fishing. Nearby activities include countless restaurants, shopping at the Tanger Outlet Mall, TJ Maxx, Home Goods, or Ulta, as well as shops for gifts and souvenirs. Visit Wings or Oceans if you forgot a bathing suit or want a commemorative tee! Jennette’s Pier is located in Nags Head loved by local fishermen. The island has 5 lighthouses, an aquarium in Manteo, fishing in Ocracoke and Oregon Inlet, a beautiful walking boardwalk in Duck, and wild horses in Corolla.

The lower level our home features 2 sets of bunk beds and a full bath, as well as the laundry closet. The master bedroom, on suite master bath, half bath, family room, dining room, breakfast bar, and eat-in kitchen are located on the main floor, as well as a front and back deck. The top floor has a queen bedroom with private front deck access, and a bedroom with 2 twins, adjoined by a jack and jill bathroom and indoor balcony. Schooner’s Eclipse sleeps 10 and has 4 tvs!

Bed linens and bath towels for your use while in our home are an additional $40 fee which is already added to your total payment at booking. You may be refunded $40 for the linen fee if preferred by contacting us on the VRBO app/website.

We also recommend packing beach towels, hand dish dishwasher and laundry soap, food storage containers with lids and reusable silicone baggies for leftovers or beach snacks, reusable to go cups for coffees, water, shakes, as well as and paper towels and napkins for kitchen use so you can be at the beach instead of at the store.

FAQs:
COFFEE: To answer the most popular question we receive, yes there is both a Keurig and Nespresso machine (Nespresso takes the short half circle shaped cups). There is also an old school coffee pot in the cabinet just in case.

BEACH: The island is very narrow so you can walk to the beach, but I recommend driving due to crossing a highway, in heat, carrying coolers towels and chairs. There are multiple beach access parking lots up and down the beach road if a lot is full. The beach access and parking is free. There are no stands on the beaches to rent umbrellas or chairs. There are NHOR lifeguards up and down the beach during our rental season.

BEACH CHAIRS: Please pack your own or plan to purchase upon arrival as the 4 we left may not be there after previous renters or you may need more to accommodate your guests.
