Tips to get the perfect rental home experience:

Sticking to a budget:

Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
Summer time is high season in Nags Head. Book your Nags Head rental in Fall or Spring months to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be 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 on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
Find a copy of your local Nags Head area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guides have discounts for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Narrow your rental Search:

First, have your group decide on dates and a budget.
Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. 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 vacation rental search.
Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts is generally available on booking websites. Otherwise, email or call the property owner before booking your rental. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms.
If your group is bringing pets, you will need a property that allows animals. Make sure to ask for information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Usually, property managers charge pet deposits and fees.

Advice for a wonderful stay:

Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Save the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
Lock your rental home while you are away. Protect the owner's property and your things!
During check-in, note any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Frequently, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can typically help. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
Double-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed everything at check-out. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
Inspect the rental a final time and keep an eye out for damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, take photos of the property to record its condition.
After your trip, leave feedback! Property managers rely on good feedback to stimulate future bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will will be grateful for your experience find their best rental home. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
