Tips and Tricks for getting the perfect Nags Head vacation rental experience:

Find your perfect vacation home:

June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Nags Head area. To find the best value, shift your trip dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer warm weather, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic.
Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
Hosts sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your family.
Property managers typically offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Nags Head area visitors guides which often include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local companies, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Planning and picking your prefect Nags Head rental:

Choose your dates and budget.
Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. 6138 Island Life Cottage * 1 Mile to Beach has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always accessible online. If you don't see them listed, call the property manager before booking the property. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to work out what configuration is right for your group.
Is your family looking for unique amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your agreement! Additional fees or charges may be applied to your invoice.

Additional considerations:

Add the host's information to your phone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
During arrival, record any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
Be a good neighbor. Often, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
Keep your rental home locked while you're gone! Don't let thieves ruin your trip.
Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the property to make sure you've collected all personal items. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
Please make sure to walk through the property a final time and look for any damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the host is not available, take pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
Leave a review! Property owners rely on excellent feedback to inspire more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will be thankful you shared your experience find their best rental home. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
