9-22-13: "My sister died one year ago this month. My Dad died 2 months ago. We live in Kentucky and I have spent the past 3 years driving back and forth between Surry County NC and Kentucky, helping to care for my Dad who had Alzheimers, the most unforgiving disease. I was searching for happy, peaceful and cherished memories of my family together at the Outer Banks. Nirvana Hatteras created a haven for my memories. Thankfully the construction, the furniture, even the funky lamps reminded me of a time long ago being with my family in blissful enjoyment of all that was. This place gave me a peace unlike most any other could, at a place~ like no other. Blessings to you & Nirvana."
8-22-13: "This little cottage is full of charm and definitely has its own personality. We are blessed to have discovered the OBX here. The ocean at our door, providing the perfect escape from the heat, every service at proximity and you being available in case of any trouble were all so very appreciated.This little getaway is awesome to free ourselves from daily pressure. Just perfect, even the drive from Quebec, Canada was totally worth it."
7-1-12: "Thank you for a beautiful place to "set". We loved and appreciated the quiet simplicity! What a wonderful first time for our children to see the ocean. Nirvana helped us all connect to one another. Thank you! Sincerely!"
6-17-12: "Who doesn't love a cute cottage right next to the beach? This place is perfect for a group of friends who want to get away from the TV, internet & cable. The sky deck makes a perfect star viewing platform. We had such a great time for such a great price. Even thought there's no a/c, that did not make any difference. The outside breeze feels great anytime. We will recommend this house to friends."
1.6.2005: "I love the simplicity of Nirvana. Thanks again for sharing your "little piece of heaven" with us. Had a wonderful two weeks here. Watched the dolphins swim by. Great fishing offshore in Hatteras. Can't wait to come back."
24.6.2005 "We checked-in as newlyweds, honeymooners going to a strange place and now we are checking out tomorrow morning feeling like we're leaving home."
27.5.2006 "I fell in love with this cottage now and don't want to leave. Perfect spot, perfect porch!"
19.8.2006 "We had many magical moments here including getting engaged on the beach, under the moon. . ."
1.6.2007 "One week is not enough. There is so much to experience here. We biked, kayaked, walked on the beach, took a day trip to Ocracoke, climbed the Hatteras Lighthouse, became windsurfers and relaxed a Lot. The rocking chairs on the porch were perfect and we ate every meal outside on the picnic table. This house was just the place we were looking for to spend our honeymoon. Thank you."
7.6.2008 "We pretty much did absolutely nothing on this trip and loved it! Nirvana kept us comfortable the whole week through."
12.8.2009 "The knowledge of a week or so here at the Nirvana spent at "simply living" pulled me through many a day of this year's never ending, meanly cold winter and many another day..."
6.8.2011 "When I saw this home's name, I was skeptical. I thought it was a bit much. But the stars, sea and salty breeze showed me that, in fact, a heightened awareness of self and earth was possible here."
23.5.2009 "We loved it here. It would have been hard to find a place to beat this one. It was just right."
25.8.2009 "Again, an absolutely wonderful stay at Nirvana. The weather for the entire two weeks could not have been better and the timing for being here when there are not quite as many visitors as at peak season could not have been more enjoyable. Many, many thanks for sharing this idyllic spot!"
29.6.2007 "The cottage was very cozy but at times it could get very hot. It was very clean, the porch was wonderful..."
"Weather has been great! It has been hot. I suggest putting in A/C Units, washer-dryer. Also the windows need to be a little different. We've been here for two weeks. The second week was scorching hot. I hope they get some A/C"
1.7.2007 "Someone suggested A/C. Uh-huh. . .I suggest: Let a good thing BE. This "no A/C" and "old windows" is the charming thing (one of many) of this cottage. Dishwashers, A/C. . . Hey, you can find those all year around in perfect houses in the suburbs and hectic offices. . downtown. Here, it's time to Live. FEEL the Summer and SMELL the Beach. We Love this cottage. It's simply Nirvana."
15.7.2009 "After much searching hotels,motels, rental houses, we found this gem....We are loving the house, the outlook and the proximity to the beach...Love this lil' place!"
15.8.2009 "When we arrive, it always feels like we're coming home. When we leave, it's like leaving a dear friend. We'll miss you Nirvana."
6.8.2011 "As the tides go out and return in, the waves speed toward the shore and then recede, so do the phases of our lives. All we can do is pause for a moment, to sit and watch them. Such has this house given us, a pause, to lie patiently in the sand and observe the mundane and the sublime- nirvana."
