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 impressive 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. Family 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.

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

Nags Head rental property booking tips and tricks:

When to book & When to go:

  • Summertime is high season in Nags Head. Book your Nags Head vacation in Spring or Fall to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Nags Head vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
  • Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
  • Property managers sometimes offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
  • Property managers typically offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
  • Often, rental management companies supply Nags Head area visitors guide magazines which include special deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Nags Head visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Finding the perfect vacation home:

  • Choose vacation dates and max budget.
  • Pool Access
  • Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly available on booking websites. If they are not listed, contact the property manager before reserving the vacation home. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds.
  • Looking for unique amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
  • Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
  • Some rentals allow pets, and some do not. Acceptable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the property management company about pets before booking.

Considerations for your stay:

  • Add the property manager's information to your smartphone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
  • To ensure that no damages are attributed to your stay, inspect the property for any problem areas during arrival. Call the rental manager immediately to report your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
  • Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
  • Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious vacationers bothering your peaceful home. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known!
  • Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
  • Lock your vacation home while you're away. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
  • When it's time to leave, take a final walk-through to confirm you didn't forget anything. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
  • Inspect the rental one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take photos and video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
  • Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on good feedback to drive future bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
