Private vacation home

Me-Shell strikes the ideal balance between classic Old Nags Head style beach home and modern comfort. This 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath bungalow sits on a sizable lot in a prime location - oceanfront and just across the street from Jockey's Ridge state park. So while you have neighbors to your north and south, there are actually no homes to the east or west of Me-Shell and the bungalow features fantastic vistas all day, from sunrise over the Atlantic to sunset over the state park!
This 1932 original Nags Head oceanfront bungalow features classic Nags Head details such as wrap around porches and tongue and groove knotty pine paneling and it has been lovingly maintained and refreshed over the years. You will feel like you've stepped back in time while sitting on the porches surrounded by the dunes of Nags Head but step into the kitchen and you will find top of the line appliances. You can see, smell and hear the Atlantic ocean from this oceanfront bungalow and you are just steps away from a fun-filled day at the beach. Rinse-off afterwards in the private outdoor shower before a calming family dinner on the deck. If you prefer to eat out or want to discover some of the marvelous attractions the Outer Banks has to offer, there are tons of delicious local eateries and family-friendly activities close by. Just across the street is the famed Jockey's Ridge State Park and only a couple of miles up the road is Dowdy Park and the phenomenal Dowdy Park Farmer's Market. The central location in Nags Head offers painless access to many local attractions: Roanoke Island, Hatteras Island, Oregon Inlet, the NC Aquarium, the Wright Brothers Monument, Corolla wild horses, etc. Come appreciate the classic Nags Head magic of Me-Shell and you will find yourself coming back year after year!

Nags Head rental home tips and tricks:

When to reserve a Nags Head rental home & When to go:

Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Nags Head area. Reserve your Nags Head vacation home in Fall or Spring months to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Nags Head vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
Hosts sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
Look for your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guide magazines have deals for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

How to pick the best vacation rental in the Nags Head area:

Choose your dates and spending budget.
Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Classic OCEANFRONT home! Prime location near Jockey's Ridge! Incredible views! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is almost always available on booking pages. If they are not listed, reach out to the property management company before you book the home. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to work out what configuration is best for your vacation family.
Some rental properties allow pets, and some don't. Allowable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask your host about allowable breeds and types before booking.
If there's an individual Nags Head beach you simply love, look for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental.

Advice for your stay:

Get the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental.
Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, stereo or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents many issues.
Keep your rental home locked while you're gone! Don't let thieves ruin your holiday.
Upon check-in, note any issues with the property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
Be respectful. Often times, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies is the right thing to do.
Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the property to confirm you've collected all personal items. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
Inspect the property one final time and look for any damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, take photographs of the property to record its condition.
Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on great feedback to stimulate new bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will be thankful you shared your review find their best vacation rental. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
