Tricks and tips for getting the perfect vacation property experience:

Money saving strategies:

Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
To find the best value, shift your family's Nags Head vacation week to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer warm weather, , and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Nags Head vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
Some property management companies offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
Find a copy of your local Nags Head visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guide magazines have offers and deals for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

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

First and foremost, have your family agree to vacation dates and a maximum budget.
Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. Adorable semi-oceanfront cottage in Nags Head. Steps to the beach & ocean views! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email the property owner before booking the home. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to work out what configuration is optimal for your vacation group.
Some properties allow pets, but others do not. Acceptable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the host about pet restrictions before booking.
If there's a specific Nags Head attraction you love, keep an eye out for properties that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking.

Tips to have a smooth stay:

Be sure you get the property manager's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your .
Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
Lock your vacation home while you're away. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
During arrival, note any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors bothering your peaceful neighborhood. Use the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known about!
Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the property to confirm you've collected all belongings. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
Record a video to document the condition of the property.
Did you have a terrific time? Most rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
