  • 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. Savor plenty of natural light from the wall of windows in the separate dining area.

Three comfortable, attractively 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 striking 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 charming 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 appreciate 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 adored 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 appreciated ones amidst the beach's natural beauty, The Purple Whale is the home for you!

Sheets and towels are not included but can be added to any reservation for a nominal fee.

Tips for getting the perfect Nags Head vacation rental experience:

Finding your perfect rental home:

  • Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
  • Booking a rental in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is our favorite way to save money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable properties. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months.
  • Some hosts and property managers offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your family.
  • Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer their guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
  • Look for your local Nags Head area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guide magazines contain money saving offers on nearby tours and attractions.

Filter your search:

  • Choose dates and max budget.
  • Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. 493 The Purple Whale
  • Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts is generally accessible online. Otherwise, call the property manager before reserving the vacation home. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms.
  • Are you bringing the family pet? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Extra fees or charges may be applied to your contract.
  • Is your family looking for unique amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
  • Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking

More tips for your visit:

  • Take a copy of the owner's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home. We recommend storing the host's contact information in your smartphone.
  • Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
  • Lock your rental while you are out and about. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
  • Note any issues with the property at check in, and immediately contact the property manager. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be useful if a dispute is filed.
  • Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers disrupting your peace and quiet. Employ the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known!
  • Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
  • At departure, complete a walk-through to confirm you didn't forget anything. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
  • Go through the property one final time and scan for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the host is not available, take photos of the property to record its condition.
  • Did your family have a wonderful time? Many rental websites make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
