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 pretty 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.

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!

Our top Nags Head rental property booking tips:
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, consider changing your family's Nags Head vacation to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer pleasant weather, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. 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 June, July, and August. 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 family and friends at the beach.
- Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve 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 manager whether your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
- Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer renters an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
- Find a copy of your local Nags Head visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guide magazines contain money saving offers on nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.
Planning and choosing the bestrental:
- Choose vacation dates and max budget.
- Note the number bedrooms and the configuration you need. Blue Crab Canal: Boat Slip
- Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, call the property manager before booking the property. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds.
- Visiting for a specific attraction or event? Try a map search to find nearby properties.
- Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
- Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? 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. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Additional pet fees or charges may be applied to your agreement.
More tips for your stay:
- Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your phone.
- To ensure that damages are not attributed to your family's stay, inspect the property for any problem areas upon your arrival. Get in touch with the host right away to document any issues. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
- Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
- Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers bothering your life at home. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and places you would've not otherwise known about!
- Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
- Protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are gone, just like you would at home.
- Re-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings on check-out day. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
- Walk through the rental a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend walking through with the host whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, take photographs of the property to record its condition.
- Leave a review! Property owners rely on good ratings to stimulate future reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your experience find their best rental home. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
