Private vacation home

Sand Castle Cottage is a newly refreshed, 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 conveniently 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 savor the salty ocean breezes and morning sunrises. The back deck overlooks the pool below and the undisturbed nature preserve for impressive sunset vistas. Back inside, the chef in the family will appreciate the updated 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.

Tricks and tips to get the perfect rental home experience:

Cost saving strategies:

To find the largest rental home for your budget, we highly recommend booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at restaurants, beaches, and activities.
Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your group qualifies for a discount.
Property managers usually offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation 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 host for specifics.
Find a copy of your local Nags Head visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guides have discounts for local tours, shops, and attractions.

How to pick the best rental home:

Choose vacation dates and max budget.
Renovated has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Nags Head rentals search.
Precise details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always accessible on booking pages. If not, email the property owner before you book the property. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches. You will need to determine which bed configuration is optimal for your vacation family.
If there's a specific Nags Head attraction you long to visit, browse properties that are either close by, or those that cater to your requirements.
Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. .
Do your family pets travel with you? 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. Ask your host before booking, and study your rental agreement! Pet fees or could be applied to your contract.

During your stay:

Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and save the instructions to your smartphone.
To ensure that damages aren't attributed to your visit, make note of any problem areas during arrival. Contact the rental manager immediately to relay your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
Respect the neighborhood. Often times, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are away, just like you would at home.
Just prior to departing, complete a final walk-through to make sure you haven't forget anything. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
Please make sure to walk through the property one final time and scan for damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the host isn't available, take pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
After your trip, leave a review! Property owners rely on excellent reviews to drive more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
