Constructed-in 1938 Ridge Retreat II takes you back to a time when traditional old Nags Head Cottages lined the beaches of the Outer Banks and families spent their time on the beach or calming on the SPACIOUS COVERED PORCHES appreciating the ocean breeze and the sound of the waves. Located just one home back from the ocean and with semi-private pedestrian access, you are ONLY 150 FEET FROM THE BEACH! Old meets new with upgraded modern amenities but still holding that old appeal. Savor your vistas of the ocean and Jockey's Ridge. Bring home the catch of the day and fire up the gas grille for an outdoor seafood feast without leaving the home. You will want to return year after year to this historic home for those memorable OBX memories.
Conveniently located in the heart of Nags Head you are right across the street from Jockey's Ridge Crossing with unique local stores, Sooey's Barbecue, and summertime weeknight entertainment and activities for everybody. Jockey's Ridge is a great place to watch the sunset over the sand dune.

Getting the best vacation rental experience:
When to visit & When to reserve a Nags Head rental home:
- In the Nags Head area, The earlier your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best rental homes are booked early. Reserving your rental 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your vacation rental.

You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular attractions. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Nags Head vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.

Trip insurance, which generally will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
