Fred Wood Cottage: Historic, oceanfront home in Nags Head with wide broad decks and magnificant ocean vistas!

Bed Sizes: 2 King, 1 Double, 4 Twin

Along a two-mile stretch in Nags Head sits a row of homes that will take you back to days gone by and the Fred Wood Cottage c.1930. These handsome oceanfront, old Nags Head style cottages are a testament to the pioneers who constructed these and brought their families across the sound to vacation here in the summer. The wide expansive porches are a distinctive feature of these homes, encircling four sides of the home with sloping roofs and providing a place for families to gather out of the sun. Many hours were spent on the porches watching the ocean and talking with family, friends, and neighbors. The Fred Wood Cottage is known to have the best front porch on the east coast! Inside you'll feel the history continue with the wood-paneled walls and wooden floors and impressive decor. This historic home is sure to be a family favorite year after year. Fred Wood Cottage was constructed to withstand the elements and keep families comfortable during the summer. Take the sandy path to the beach and appreciate a day basking in the sun, surfing, swimming, and searching for seashells and sea glass. Bring your family and friends to this gorgeous home and add to the new memories being made in this historic home.

Our top Vacation rental booking tips and tricks:

Money saving strategies:

Summer months are the most expensive season in the Nags Head area. Reserve your rental home in the Spring or Fall to get the benefit of gorgeous 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 and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
Some hosts and property managers offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your group.
Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guides contain offers and deals for local tours and attractions.

Narrow your rental Search:

First and foremost, have your family choose dates and a budget.
Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Fred Wood Cottage:Oceanfront, historic, Old Nags Head Style cottage, wide decks! has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Nags Head rentals search.
Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually available online. Otherwise, email the property owner before reserving the home. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches. You'll need to establish what is suitable for your vacation family.
Are you looking for specific amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the best rental.
Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking
Some rentals allow pets, and others don't. Acceptable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the host about allowable breeds and types before booking.

Advice for a great stay:

Be sure you get the owner's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property.
To make sure that damages aren't attributed to your stay, inspect for any problem areas upon check in. Speak to the host right away to document any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call prevents a lot of problems.
Be respectful. Often times, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
Lock your vacation home while you're out and about. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
Just prior to departing, complete a final walk-through to make sure you did not forget anything. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
Record a video to document the condition of the property.
Did your group have a great stay? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
