Calling all boaters and watermen! Blue Crab Canal is the ideal choice for visitors who want to supplement their beach time with other outdoor activities. This freshly refreshed, pet-friendly home is located right on the canal and offers the best of both worlds - access to the Roanoke Sound as well as close proximity to the gorgeous beaches of Nags Head. Use the community boat ramp (nominal fee) and dock your vessel right behind the home in the private slip. After a day at the beach or out in the boat, let the good times roll back at the home where the ground level has been transformed into an outdoor lounge area. Unwind with a cold drink or fire up the grille for a canalfront cookout.

Vacation rental tips and tricks:
How to get the best rental value:
- June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Nags Head area. To find the best value, change your family's Nags Head trip dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer warm weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic.
- Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
- Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your family qualifies for a reduced rate.
- Property managers typically offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
- Look for your local Nags Head visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guides contain money saving offers on local accommodations, tours and attractions.
Finding the perfect rental home in the Nags Head area:
- To start, have your group agree to dates and a max budget.
- Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. Blue Crab Canal: Boat Slip
- Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is often accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, contact the property manager before you book the vacation home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms.
- Are you visiting for a specific attraction or event? Use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
- Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Remember to confirm all required amenities are included before booking
- Are you bringing the family pet? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional fees or applied to your invoice.
More tips for your visit:
- Get the host's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home.
- To ensure that damages are not linked to your visit, make note of any problem areas during arrival. Contact the host right away to report your findings. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
- Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
- Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant visitors disrupting your peace. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and places you would have not otherwise known!
- Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
- Keep the property locked while you're out! Don't let crooks ruin your holiday.
- When it's time to leave, take a walk-through to make sure you haven't forget any personal items. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
- Inspect the property one final time and scan for any damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, ensure that you take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
- Did your group have a terrific vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your property and/or host was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
