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 striking 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 savor a day basking in the sun, surfing, swimming, and searching for seashells and sea glass.

How to find the best Nags Head vacation home experience:

Get the most from your vacation rental budget:

Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
To find the best value, consider changing your vacation to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer pleasant weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation 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 on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
Some hosts offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
Property managers frequently offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related issues 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 the property owner for specifics.
Look for your local Nags Head area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guide magazines contain money saving offers on local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

How to choose the best vacation home in the Nags Head area:

Select a group lead, choose your trip dates, and choose a spending budget.
Determine how many beds and the configuration your group 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 rental home search.
Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is often available on booking pages. Otherwise, call the property management company before reserving your rental. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms.
Some rentals allow pets, and others do not. Allowable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the owner about allowable breeds and types before booking.
Does your family require specific amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. .

Tips to have a wonderful stay:

Add the host's contact info to your smartphone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, intercom or kitchen appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent lots of problems.
Lock your rental while you're away. Protect your property!
To ensure that no damages are attributed to your stay, note any problem areas when you arrive. Get in touch with the host immediately to relay any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a terrific source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
Upon check-out, complete a walk-through to make sure you didn't forget anything. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
Please make sure to walk through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the host isn't available, take video and pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
Leave a review! Property owners rely on great ratings to inspire future reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
