Classic Oceanfront Nags Head Cottage
If you've been looking for an “Old Nags Head” style oceanfront rental that is both economical and family-friendly, Sea Monster is the ideal rental for you! Located on a huge oceanfront lot on Nags Head's re-nourished beach just north of MP 11, this comfortable bungalow expertly blends modern coastal finishes with characteristics reminiscent of a vintage beach home. Visitors will appreciate the updates that have been made while appreciating the appeal of the tongue-and-groove cypress walls and beamed cathedral ceilings. A private walkway off the deck connects the home to the pristine Nags Head coastline.

Enter on the ground level where you'll find a double-car garage converted into the ideal rainy-day game room complete with Ping Pong Table, Foosball Table, a full-sized refrigerator, and a Sizable-Screen Intelligent TV. There are two bedrooms on this level, one with a Full Bed and one with a Bunk Bed, that have access to an refreshed Full Bath with Tub/Shower combo in the hall.

Upstairs, an inviting great room features a living area with cozy furnishings located around a TV with DVD Player, an 8-person dining table, a completely-outfitted galley kitchen, and a convenient breakfast area. A Master Queen Bedroom on the top level enjoys striking ocean vistas and has an attached Full Bathroom and Laundry area. A sizable second bedroom on this floor contains 2 Double/Full Beds and a Couch for additional space. A new sliding glass door opens onto a enormous Oceanfront Deck with a raised walkway to the beach and a private dune top deck. The deck also wraps around to the south side and west sides of the home making it the ideal place for you to watch the sunsets while your four-legged companions appreciate people-watching along the walking path.

Surrounded by Local Attractions
Sea Monster is less than 2 miles from the historic district of Nags Head and within simple walking distance to great shopping centers, seafood eateries like Tortugas Lie, and recreational sites like the Nags Head Town Park, Dowdy Park, Pier, the YMCA, and Jockey's Ridge State Park. Start your day with a walk to Morning View Coffee House to fulfill your caffeine craving and end it with a walk to Surfin Spoon or The Spot for an ice cream cone or your other favorite sweet treat. The home is also just a short drive away from numerous grocery stores, the outlet mall, and local attractions like the Wright Brothers Memorial, Nags Head Golf Links Golf Course, and Pirate's Cove Marina. With a great location and plenty of historic charm, Sea Monster is a home you will want to return to year after year!

Tricks and tips to get the very best Nags Head vacation rental experience:

Money saving strategies:

  • Summer months are the most expensive season in the Nags Head area. To get the largest rental within budget, we highly recommend reserving in the Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at Nags Head restaurants, beaches, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Nags Head vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
  • Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
  • Property managers sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
  • Property managers typically offer guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
  • Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Nags Head area visitors guides which include special deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Nags Head visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Make a plan and pick a perfect Nags Head vacation home:

  • Select a group leader, choose your dates, and select a spending budget.
  • Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. 6024 Sea Monster * Oceanfront * Dog Friendly has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
  • Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is commonly available online. If they are not listed, reach out to the host before you book your rental. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to establish which bed configuration is best for your trip.
  • Looking for specific amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the best rental.
  • Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
  • Some properties allow pets, but some don't. Acceptable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the host about pets before booking.

Some things to know before you go:

  • We recommend storing the host's contact information in your smartphone.
  • Note any damages to the property during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are beneficial if there is a dispute.
  • Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, television set or WIFI setup. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent many problems.
  • Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a great source for finding the best local spots.
  • Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
  • Lock your rental while you are away. Protect your property!
  • Double-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all personal items at departure. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
  • Record a video to document the condition of the property.
  • Did you have a terrific time? Many rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or host was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was imperfect and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.

The Cotton Gin

For those traveling to the Outer Banks, The Cotton Gin is a beloved landmark with its large windmill and picturesque gardens. The Cotton Gin has stood in the same location since 1929, starting as a working cotton gin and growing to a gift store with 4 locations. Visitors are treated to a unique shopping experience in our main store in Jarvisburg, as well as our beach stores in Corolla, Duck, and Nags Head. Explore room after room filled with décor for your home and coastal fashions for both men and women.

Stop by soon and don’t forget to try our estate grown wines in our stores or visit our vineyard and winery, Sanctuary Vineyards, located adjacent to the original Cotton Gin in Jarvisburg.

 

Most know The Cotton Gin as a must-stop shop for fine gifts, beachwear, souvenirs and so much more, but this retailer has a long-standing history within the Outer Banks. A local landmark that holds almost a century of memories, The Cotton Gin started from humble beginnings and continues to adapt to the times and tourists. Tommy Wright’s family has been in the Outer Banks for nearly 200 years. His great-great grandfather, Jacob Francis Wright, shipwrecked in Duck back in the early 1800s. Calling these barrier islands his new home, Wright and his family acclimated to their new environment.

 

Adaptation is a common theme for the Wright family. Tommy and his wife Candace, who continue to steer The Cotton Gin, have seen not only their business change with the times, but the Outer Banks as a vacation destination as well. A farm market in Jarvisburg eventually transformed and flourished into several retail locations dotting the Outer Banks.

 

“As the area changed and tourism took off in the 1960s, the family saw people coming for vacations, so they began to grow vegetables and things developed from there,” says Tommy Wright. The Wright family expanded upon the farm market and began to remodel a working cotton gin, later transforming the gin into The Cotton Gin general store in the late 1960s. While the additions to the farm store drew visitors, it was their encounters with the Wright family that kept people coming back year after year, which is something that remains true today.
