As you approach, you'll be greeted by a wrap-around covered porch, ideal for soaking in the ocean breezes and rocking the nighttime away under the stars.

Inside, you'll find a comfortable and inviting space that blends vintage appeal with modern conveniences. This home is more than just a place to stay; it's a story waiting to be shared, a space where memories are made and cherished.

For those needing a bit more room, consider our adjacent two-bedroom bungalow, "The Dune Bug" (K1307B), which offers additional space for your family or group.

One of the best parts of staying at "The Way We Were" is its unbeatable location. Tortuga's, a local favorite, is conveniently located right across the street, offering a taste of the area's best cuisine. Just a short walk, less than 600 yards south, you'll find the Nags Head Pier, a beloved spot for fishing and dining. The pier's restaurant serves up delicious breakfast, lunch, and dinner with a gorgeous ocean view.

For a sweet treat or a light snack, head over to Surfin' Spoon, just 0.4 miles away, where you can savor a variety of frozen yogurt flavors in a cozy, laid-back setting. If you're looking for some outdoor fun, Dowdy Park is only 0.3 miles away, providing a ideal spot for family picnics, play, and relaxation amidst handsome surroundings.

As our guest, you'll also appreciate complimentary access to the Outer Banks YMCA, located close by. Dive into their indoor and outdoor swimming pools, break a sweat in the full-court gymnasium, or challenge yourself with complimentary weights and group exercise classes.

Strategies to get the optimal vacation home experience:

Getting the most from your budget:

June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. Booking a rental in Fall or Spring is our favorite way to save money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable homes.
Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
Some hosts and property managers offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
Property managers frequently offer guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
Look for your local Nags Head visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guides have coupons for nearby accommodations and attractions.

Planning and choosing the best Nags Head vacation home:

Begin by selecting your a vacation week and a maximum budget.
Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. K1307A \"The Way We Were\" Traditional Oceanfront Gem w\/DUNETOP Deck! has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is normally accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, call the host before you book the home. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
Visiting for a single event? If so, use a map search to find nearby rentals.
Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental.
If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to search for a property that allows animals. Ask for details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.

More considerations:

Add the property manager's information to your phone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
Make a record of any issues with the property during check in, and immediately contact the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be valuable if a dispute is filed.
Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
Respect your neighbors. Frequently, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules is the right thing to do.
Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
Lock your vacation home while you are out and about. Protect your property!
Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all of your things. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
Please make sure to walk through the property one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the host is not available, take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
Did your family have a great vacation? Most rental managers make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your property and/or property management company was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
