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 striking ocean view.

For a sweet treat or a light snack, head over to Surfin' Spoon, just 0.4 miles away, where you can appreciate a variety of frozen yogurt flavors in a cozy, laid-back setting.

Nags Head rental home tips and tricks:

How to get the best value:

The sooner your group can book a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable properties are reserved early. Reserving your vacation property 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental.
Booking your Nags Head vacation rental in Fall or Spring months is our favorite way to save money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Nags Head vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
Some hosts offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
Property management companies usually offer customers an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
Look for your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guide magazines contain offers and deals for nearby tours and attractions.

Planning and picking the rightvacation home:

To start, have your family agree to the best dates and a spending budget.
Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. K1307A \"The Way We Were\" Traditional Oceanfront Gem w\/DUNETOP Deck! has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly available online. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property manager before you book the property. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to work out what configuration is optimal for your group.
Are you bringing the family pet? 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. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Additional pet fees or charges may be applied to your contract.
If there's a particular Nags Head beach you crave, search for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking

During your stay:

Add the owner's phone number to your smartphone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, intercom or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent many problems.
Keep your rental home locked while you're away! Don't let crooks spoil your vacation.
During arrival, document any issues with the property and immediately contact the owner. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors bothering your peaceful home. Apply the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and places you would've never otherwise known!
Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can often help. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected everything. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
Did you have a terrific time? Most rental management companies make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property manager was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was imperfect and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
