Cottage

Welcome to Any Excuse – our family beach bungalow located in South Nag’s Head, NC (milepost 17.5). We named our bungalow “Any Excuse” because, rather honestly, we will use any excuse to spend time in the Outer Banks! Our bungalow is furnished with tons of personal touches and modern amenities to make you feel right at home. Public beach access is just a short walk from the bungalow (1/2 block).

Any Excuse is a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom bungalow. The downstairs bedroom is furnished with a queen bed and has a screened in back porch. Upstairs, there is a huge bedroom with a king bed as well as a smaller room with a queen bed. Linens are included. Both upstairs rooms have private decks. Several air beds including a toddler size one are also available for use. There are two full baths, one downstairs and one upstairs with tub/shower combination in both.

We are equipped with complimentary high-speed WIFI, 3 intelligent TV’s, and 2 blue ray players. The kitchen is equipped with stove/oven, dishwasher, refrigerator, microwave, toaster, Keurig and a traditional coffeemaker. Dishes, cutlery, glassware, pots, pans, etc. are also supplied. The dining area accommodates 6 and additional seating for 2 is available at the kitchen bar. Washer and dryer are located on the main floor. Our comfortable den area includes a full size couch, upsized chair with ottoman, recliner and single swivel rocker. There is a sizable deck off the dining/den with 2 porch swings, and 2 chairs. This deck faces the ocean and is great for calming at any time of the day.

There is a nice storage space on the ground level where you will find beach chairs, beach toys, outdoor games, bicycles, and body boards. A propane grille is available for your use. There is an outdoor shower with hot/cold water for simple and fun clean up after a day at the beach. Our additional-enormous driveway accepts for room to appreciate the hammock or create an outside entertainment area.

This is a smoke-complimentary bungalow.

How to book the best Nags Head rental experience:

Finding your perfect rental home:

To book the largest rental home within your budget, we highly recommend reserving in Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at Nags Head restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
The sooner your group can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best rental homes are booked early. Booking your rental home up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
Owners sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your family before you book.
Management companies and individual rental owners often offer renters an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
Find a copy of your local Nags Head area magazine upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local articles, visitor guides have offers and deals for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Choosing and booking a perfect Nags Head vacation home:

First and foremost, have your group commit to the best dates and a spending budget.
Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. \"Any Excuse\" - great cottage, great views, great beach access, great get away has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Nags Head rental home search.
Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually available online. If they are not listed, email or call the property owner before booking the vacation home. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms.
If there's a certain Nags Head destination you long to visit, search for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. .
If your family is vacationing with pets, you must reserve a rental that allows animals. Make sure to ask for information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Note that some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

Considerations for your stay:

Add the property manager's contact information to your phone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
Document any issues with the rental at check in, and immediately send them to the host. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are very helpful if a dispute arises.
Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, television set or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent a lot of problems.
Be respectful of your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are away, just like you would at home.
Re-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings on check-out day. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
Did you have a terrific vacation? Many rental management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property manager was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. 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 comments.
