There's something good waiting down this road! Drive south down Old Oregon Inlet where you'll find Runnin' Down A Dream, a appealing and dog-friendly beach bungalow that offers an unbeatable location for your next Outer Banks vacation. Runnin' Down A Dream is the southernmost home in Nags Head, located in the all-residential Colony South subdivision and backing up onto National Park Service land for ultimate seclusion and natural surroundings. A reverse floorplan means you'll savor vistas of the ocean, sound, marsh and spectacular sunsets from the top-level great room. Original pine paneling preserves the warmth and coastal character of this classic Nags Head style home, while the open-concept layout makes the space feel bright, airy and ideal for gathering. In addition to a sunroom for indoor/outdoor living, two levels of wrap-around decks provide plenty of room for soaking up the Vitamin D, calming in the shade, or simply breathing in the salty ocean air. With a a public beach access located five hundred feet from the home, you'll be just a two-min. walk to the shining Atlantic. Dogs are welcome at Runnin' Down a Dream, so your canine companions can join you on the pet-friendly beaches of Nags Head. Your furry friends will also adore running around in the broad yard without having to worry about traffic. If you're in the mood for some outdoor adventure, hop in the car and take a short drive to Coquina beach, a hidden gem that's a local's favorite spot for fishing and surfing. From there, discover Bodie Island Lighthouse or head south for a day trip to Ocracoke.

How to find the best Nags Head vacation home experience:
Sticking to your rental home budget:
- The sooner your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved early. Reserving your vacation property 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your rental home.
- To book the best vacation home for your budget, we highly recommend booking in Fall or Spring months. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular attractions. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Nags Head vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
- Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your group qualifies for a price reduction.
- Booking websites typically offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
- Many property management companies supply Nags Head area visitor guides which often include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Nags Head visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.
How to choose the perfect rental in Nags Head:
- Select vacation dates and spending budget.
- Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Runnin' Down A Dream: 2min Walk to Beach
- Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, email the property manager before you reserve your rental. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to work out what is best for your vacation family.
- Are you bringing the family pet? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Pet fees or costs could be applied to your contract.
- If there's an individual Nags Head attraction you are enamored with, look for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your desires.
- Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking.
Additional considerations:
- Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Add a note with the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
- Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, intercom or kitchen appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents a lot of difficulties.
- Keep your rental home locked while you are gone! Don't let thieves ruin your family vacation.
- Upon arrival, document any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
- Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers bothering your life at home. Use the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and attractions you would have not otherwise known!
- Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
- Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected all personal items. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
- Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
- After your trip, leave a review! Property owners rely on good feedback to stimulate more bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your experience find their best rental home. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
