Booking the best Nags Head rental experience:

How to get the best rental value:

Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Nags Head area. Reserving a rental home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is our best tip for saving money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Nags Head vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
Some hosts offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group.
Booking websites typically offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
Find a copy of your local Nags Head visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, travel guides have money saving offers on nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

How to select the best vacation home in the Nags Head area:

Select a group lead, choose your trip dates, and select a spending budget.
Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. Circa 1953 beach cottage...this is 'old school' beach at it's best! has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is usually available on booking pages. Otherwise, email the property owner before you reserve the vacation property. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to work out what configuration is right for your group.
If your group is bringing pets, search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Ask for details on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
If there's a certain Nags Head attraction you simply love, look for properties that are either close by, or those that cater to your requirements.
Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking.

Some things to know before you go:

Put the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent lots of issues.
Keep the property locked while you are out! Don't let crooks ruin your holiday.
To ensure that damages aren't linked to your visit, inspect the property for any problem areas upon your arrival. Contact the rental manager immediately to record any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
Respect your neighbors. Frequently, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules is the right thing to do.
Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the property to confirm you've collected all of your things. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
Inspect the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the host isn't available, ensure that you take photos and video of the rental to record its condition.
Leave feedback! Property owners rely on excellent ratings to inspire future bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will be thankful you shared your feedback find their best vacation rental. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
