Private vacation home

The Purple Whale is a semi-oceanfront coastal getaway offering a striking interior, inviting outdoor deck space, and a prime location near the beach, shopping, and some of the best dining Nags Head has to offer!

Step inside The Purple Whale to the inviting living area with comfortable seating. The well-equipped open kitchen offers an island, providing additional counter space and an additional seating area for 2. Appreciate plenty of natural light from the wall of windows in the separate dining area.

Three comfortable, gorgeously decorated bedrooms await your arrival, including a king en suite with a private bath, a queen bedroom, and a pyramid bunk bedroom that's ideal for the little ones. A queen-sized pull out couch in the living area offers an additional sleeping option.

Outside on the sun deck, embrace the warm ocean breezes with a cup of coffee amidst the warmth of an Outer Banks sunrise, or relax on the back deck with a glass of wine and appreciate the amazing sunset over the sound after a fun-filled day at the beach, located just across the street!

When not spending time calming on the beach, splash around in the above-ground pool, play a game of cornhole in the back yard, or kick back with a good book in the inviting covered area. Before heading upstairs, refresh yourself in the outdoor shower.

The handsome beaches of Nags Head can be conveniently accessed via a crosswalk at the Gull Street public beach access, only roughly 200 feet away from The Purple Whale. The Purple Whale is also located just a short walk (less than half a mile) from many eateries and family-friendly activities! The whole family will adore Jennette’s Pier, offering public beach access with a bath home, an aquarium, and of course, world-class fishing. The freshly-refreshed Whalebone Park Playground can also be found close by. Nearby dining options include a few of Nags Head’s most appreciated eateries, including Owens’, The Dunes, Sam and Omie’s, Fatboyz Ice Cream, Dune Burger, and more.

Whether you seek a cherished home away from home for your annual Outer Banks vacations or the ideal haven for reconnecting with adored ones amidst the beach's natural beauty, The Purple Whale is the home for you!

Sheets and towels with bed making are supplied. Please note, these amenities will not be supplied in 2025.

Strategies to get the perfect rental experience:

Find your best deal:

June, July, and August are high season in the Nags Head area. Book your Nags Head rental home in Fall or Spring to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
Some owners offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
Booking websites often offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
Often, management companies supply Nags Head area visitor guide magazines which often include special offers, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Nags Head visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

Begin by choosing the best vacation week and a budget.
Walk to Jennettes Pier & Dining has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always accessible on booking websites. If not, contact the property owner before booking your rental. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to establish which bed configuration is optimal for your family.
Is your group looking for unique amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the best rental home.
Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental
If your group is vacationing with pets, search for a pet-friendly property. Get details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Be aware that some property owners charge additional pet fees.

Advice for your stay:

Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the directions to your smartphone.
Document any damages to the rental at check in, and immediately send them to the property manager. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are valuable if there is a dispute.
Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be a terrific resource to find the best local beaches and hangouts.
Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can frequently help. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
Keep your rental home locked while you're out! Don't let thieves spoil your vacation.
Double-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings at departure. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
Please make sure to walk through the rental one final time and scan for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever possible. If the manager is not available, take photos and video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
Did you have a wonderful vacation? Many rental home management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
