Summary:
Vacation in simpler times with your pups.

The sound of the screen door closing behind you, the smell of the sea in the air and the vintage feel of old school Nags Head - if you've ever said, "remember when," then this 1950's bungalow is for you! Renovated yet nostalgic and full of classic Nags Head appeal, this is the well-appointed beach bungalow you’ve been looking for.

A dog-friendly bungalow with a studio layout, Kemp & Olive features a well-equipped kitchen, a flat screen TV, WiFi, cable, a shared washer & dryer, and a mini-split heating & air conditioning system for optimal temperature control. The outdoor area offers an outdoor shower, charcoal grille, an outdoor hose, and a backyard firepit – B.Y.O firewood and smores!! For your convenience, the bungalow has a cart for hauling your beach gear to and from the sand.

Linens and cleaning are supplied in the rate. Linens are included by an independent vendor (bed linens, bath towels, washcloths, sheets). Bed will be made when you arrive!

Our magnificant caretakers, Mike and Lisa, live close by and are as committed to your experience as we are.

Located on the beach road, the property is just a short walk away from a beautiful beach access over a natural dune on Grouse Street (see aerial photos above). One of two cottages onsite, Kemp and Olive is one of just a handful of bungalow courts still in existence in Nags Head.

In addition to many local retail stores, fine and casual dining establishments and grocery stores, the bungalow is also close to many great local attractions including the gorgeously modernized Jennette's Pier (less than one mile away), the North Carolina Aquarium in Manteo, Jockey's Ridge, Tanger Outlet shopping, Bodie Island Lighthouse, Coquina Beach, and off-roading and fishing at Oregon Inlet.

There is a two-dog max., we do not allow cats, and we do not charge a pet fee. There is no smoking allowed in the bungalow. The bungalow is not handicap accessible.

Thank you for considering Kemp & Olive Cottage!

Tips and Tricks for getting the perfect rental home experience:

Finding the best rental home value:

  • The earlier your group can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation homes are reserved early. Booking your rental up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental home.
  • Summertime is the most expensive season in coastal NC. To book the largest vacation home for your budget, we suggest reserving in Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at popular attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
  • Some hosts and property managers offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your group.
  • Property managers typically offer customers an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
  • Find a copy of your local Nags Head visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, visitor guides contain deals for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Filter your rental search:

  • Select a group lead, select your trip dates, and choose a budget.
  • Decide how many beds and the bed configuration you need. Kemp & Olive Cottage: Tiny Cottage for Two Guests and Pups! has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
  • Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is normally available on booking pages. If not, email the host before you reserve the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches. You will need to establish what is suitable for your trip.
  • Some rental properties allow pets, but some do not. Acceptable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the host about pet restrictions before booking.
  • Looking for special amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
  • Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. .

More considerations:

  • Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the directions to your phone.
  • Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
  • Keep your rental home locked while you are gone! Don't let burglars spoil your trip.
  • Upon check-in, make note of 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. Often times, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
  • Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can often help. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
  • Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the property to make sure you've collected all personal items. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
  • Walk through the rental one final time and look for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
  • Did your family have a great stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your property and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
