- Private vacation home
Sand Castle Cottage is a freshly modernized, semi-oceanfront vacation home in South Nags Head. In addition to having your very own private pool and hot tub, the ground level is set up for around-the-clock outdoor entertainment and relaxation. Whether you're firing up the grille, calming by the pool or going one-on-one in foosball or ping pong, everybody can do their thing while still being together. Finest of all, getting to the beach will be hassle-complimentary using the Jacob Street beach access. It's just a three-min. walk from the home but also provides parking, as well as a ramp and wooden walkway for effortlessly crossing the dunes.
After a day at the beach, come home and gather in the comfortably furnished great room with an ocean view. This bright and airy, open-concept space features vaulted ceilings and an abundance of natural light. At Sand Castle Cottage, you'll find opportunities for outdoor living everywhere you turn. Two levels of decking on the east and west sides of the home offer both sun and shade, and all four bedrooms provide deck access. The living area leads directly out to an broad, east-facing deck where you can appreciate the salty ocean breezes and morning sunrises. The back deck overlooks the pool below and the undisturbed nature preserve for gorgeous sunset vistas. Back inside, the chef in the family will savor the refreshed kitchen with stainless steel appliances and bar seating. The top-level king suite is located on the back end of the home for plenty of privacy and features an ensuite bath with walk-in shower. Three additional bedrooms on the mid-level (including a second king ensuite) will comfortably accommodate family and friends.
Located at Milepost 19.5 where the beaches are wide and uncrowded, Sand Castle Cottage is in a slower-paced, family-friendly area while still being just a short drive away from grocery stores, shopping and dining. Take a five-min. bicycle ride to the Outer Banks Fishing Pier and Fish Head's Bar and Grille, where you can order food and drinks on the oceanfront while listening to live music. You'll be just 3 miles from Coquina Beach and the 4x4 beaches, part of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore and a favorite local spot for fishing and surfing. From there, discover Bodie Island Lighthouse or head south for a day trip to Ocracoke.
No family pets allowed - pet complimentary. No smoking/vaping. Please refer to the Rental Agreement while reviewing Rules & Policies for pool opening/closing dates.

Nags Head rental home booking tips:
Sticking to a rental budget:
- In the Nags Head area, The sooner you can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are reserved early. Reserving your vacation property up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation rental.
- To book the best rental home within budget, we highly recommend reserving in the Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular Nags Head attractions.
- Hosts sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your family.
- Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.

You can also find Nags Head visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.
Planning, picking, and booking the rightvacation home:
- Select vacation week and max budget.
- Renovated has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
- Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is usually available online. If not, email the property management company before booking the vacation property. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms.
- If your family is bringing pets, you must book a rental that allows animals. Make sure to ask for information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, hosts charge additional pet fees.
- If there's a specific Nags Head destination you love, look for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your needs.
- Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
More considerations:
- Add the host's contact info to your smartphone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
- Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, television set or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent many problems.
- Lock your rental while you are out. Protect your property!
- Document any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are very helpful if a dispute arises.
- Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be a great source for finding the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
- Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
- Re-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings on check-out day. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
- Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
- Did your family have a fantastic vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was defective and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
