  • 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 huge 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 amazing 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 exceptional Dowdy Park Farmer's Market. The central location in Nags Head offers simple 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!

Our top Nags Head vacation rental home tips and tricks:

Sticking to a spending budget:

  • To book the largest rental home within your budget, we recommend booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at Nags Head restaurants, tours, and activities. 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 loved ones at your favorite beach.
  • The earlier you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable properties are reserved early. Reserving your rental property six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your rental home.
  • Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your family qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
  • Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
  • Look for your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local articles, visitors guides contain discounts for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

How to select the best rental in Nags Head:

  • Choose a designated group leader, select your vacation week, and select a max budget.
  • Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your family requires. Classic OCEANFRONT home! Prime location near Jockey's Ridge! Incredible views! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
  • Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally accessible online. Otherwise, contact the host before you book your home. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds. You will need to determine what configuration is optimal for your trip.
  • If there's a certain Nags Head beach you simply love, keep an eye out for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
  • Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.
  • Some properties allow pets, and some do not. Allowable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask your host about pets before booking.

More considerations:

  • Get the host's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property.
  • During check-in, note any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
  • Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
  • Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are an excellent source for finding the best local beaches.
  • Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
  • Lock your vacation home while you are away. Keep your property safe!
  • Just before checking out, take a walk-through to confirm you didn't leave anything behind. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
  • Record a video to document the condition of the property.
  • Did your group have a fantastic vacation? Many rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property manager was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
