Tips to get the best vacation property experience:

Get the most from your budget:

The earlier you can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best properties are reserved very early. Booking your vacation home six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental property.
Summer months are the most expensive season in coastal NC. To find the best value, consider changing your group's vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer warmer weather, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable 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 and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your group before you book.
Property managers typically offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Nags Head area visitor guide magazines that include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Narrow your rental Search:

Choose vacation week and maximum budget.
Determine how many beds and the configuration your family requires. Ocean and sound views and only 600 ft from semi-private beach access! has 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is normally available on booking pages. If they are not listed, call the host before reserving the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds.
If your family is bringing pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Be aware that some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
If there's an individual Nags Head beach you are enamored with, browse homes that are either near by, or those that cater to your needs.
Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Additional considerations:

Be sure you get the host's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home.
Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are away, just like you would back home.
At Check-in, document any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be an incredible resource to find the best local scenic spots.
Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
When it's time to leave, complete a final walk-through to confirm you haven't leave anything behind. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
Did your group have a excellent stay? Most rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
