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 painless 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.

Tips and Tricks to get the very best rental experience:

Get the most from your vacation rental budget:

  • In the Nags Head area, The sooner your group can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental homes are booked very early. Booking your vacation rental up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
  • Summertime is high season in the Nags Head area. To find the largest rental home within your budget, we highly recommend reserving in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Nags Head vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
  • Hosts sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your family.
  • Property managers usually offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
  • Look for your local Nags Head visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guide magazines contain discounts for nearby shops and restaurants.

Selecting the best vacation home in Nags Head:

  • Start by selecting a vacation week and a maximum budget.
  • Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom 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 rentals search.
  • Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts is usually available online. If you don't see them listed, email or call the host before you reserve the vacation property. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to establish what is best for your group.
  • Are you bringing the family pet? 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 rental agreement! Pet fees or costs might be applied to your invoice.
  • Does your group require specific amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities.
  • Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental

Additional considerations:

  • Add the property manager's phone number to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
  • Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, television set or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents many issues.
  • Keep your rental home locked while you are out! Don't let thieves spoil your family vacation.
  • To make sure damages aren't linked to your stay, record any problem areas upon your arrival. Contact the rental manager right away to document any damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be useful.
  • Respect your neighbors. Often, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
  • Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
  • At departure, complete a final walk-through to confirm you haven't forget any personal items. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
  • Inspect the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager is not available, ensure that you take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
  • After your trip, leave a review! Property owners rely on excellent ratings to propel future bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your feedback find their best rental home. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
