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 amazing 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 fantastic 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 astounding 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 savor the classic Nags Head magic of Me-Shell and you will find yourself coming back year after year!

Strategies to get the best Nags Head vacation rental experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

In the Nags Head area, The earlier you can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are booked early. Reserving your rental six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental property.
To book the largest rental within your budget, we recommend booking in Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite Nags Head restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August.
Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your vacationing group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
Property management companies often offer guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
Look for your local Nags Head visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guide magazines contain money saving offers on local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

How to choose the perfect rental home in the Nags Head area:

Begin by choosing your the best vacation week and a maximum budget.
Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. Classic OCEANFRONT home! Prime location near Jockey's Ridge! Incredible views! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts is almost always accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, call the host before reserving the vacation property. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to work out what configuration is best for your vacation family.
Traveling with pets? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Pet fees or costs may be applied to your agreement.
If there's an individual Nags Head destination you long to visit, browse homes that are either near by, or those that cater to your needs.
Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking.

Advice for a great stay:

We recommend storing the host's information in your smartphone.
Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are gone, just like you would at home.
Make a record of any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are helpful if a dispute arises.
Respect the neighborhood. Often times, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
Re-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items at departure. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
Please make sure to walk through the property a final time and scan for any damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
Did your family have a wonderful stay? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property manager was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
