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 remodeled, 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 handsome 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.

Guests who stay at Blue Crab Canal will have access to the Village Beach Club from Memorial Day thru Labor Day and on weekends during May and September. Conveniences include an oceanfront Olympic-sized pool, kiddie pool, lifeguarded beach access, restroom and shower facilities, tennis courts, and a snack bar/cafe with a full-service bar that also serves lunch. Located just a five-min. drive from the home, The Village Beach Club is a one-stop, everything-you-need destination for a full day of fun in the sun for the entire family.

Old Nags Head Cove is a community designed for life on the water. Boating, fishing, kayaking, SUP's - the possibilities are countless. In addition to the canals and sound access, guests also have the option of purchasing daily or weekly passes to the Old Nags Head Cove soundfront pool. Additional community perks include a basketball court, volleyball court and picnic area. Animals are welcome at Blue Crab Canal, so your four-legged friends can join you out on the boat, on the beach or simply walking around the neighborhood!

Centrally located at Milepost 13 in Nags Head, Blue Crab Canal is within mins. to everything you'll need for a calming and memorable Outer Banks vacation. When it's time to hit the beach, two public accesses are close by - one at Enterprise Street and another at Loggerhead Street - both of which provide complimentary parking. Take a bicycle ride down the multi-use path that runs from Old Nags Head Cove to the Outer Banks Mall where you can browse an array of shopping and dining options, including two grocery stores.

Can’t stay an entire week? Blue Crab Canal is available for short stays and offers flexible arrival/departure options for those who like to plan ahead. In-season partial week stays (three-nighttime minimum) can be reserved months in advance, and guests can choose any day of the week for check-in and check-out.

Family Pets allowed. No smoking/vaping. Optional access to the Old Nags Head Cove community pool and boat ramp for modest costs.

Our top Vacation rental booking tips and tricks:

Money saving strategies:

  • Summer is the most expensive season in the Nags Head area. Reserving a rental home in the Fall or Spring is our favorite way to save money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season. 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 family and friends at your favorite beach.
  • Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
  • Some hosts and property managers offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
  • Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer their guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
  • Often, property management companies supply Nags Head area travel guide magazines which include special offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Nags Head visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Filter your search:

  • Select a designated group leader, select your dates, and select a spending budget.
  • Pets OK has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
  • Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always accessible online. If not, reach out to the property management company before you book the home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms.
  • If there's a particular Nags Head beach you are enamored with, browse homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
  • Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are available and 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. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your agreement! Additional pet fees or costs applied to your agreement.

Some things to know before you go:

  • Get the owner's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property.
  • At Check-in, record any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
  • Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent lots of problems.
  • Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers disrupting your home life. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known!
  • Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually help. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
  • Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are out, just like you would back home.
  • Double-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items on check-out day. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
  • Go through the property a final time and scan for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, ensure that you take photos and video of the property to record its condition.
  • Did your family have a great time? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your property and/or property management company was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
