  • Private vacation home

The Purple Whale is a semi-oceanfront coastal getaway offering a gorgeous 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, 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 savor 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 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 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 with bed making are supplied. Please note, these amenities will not be supplied in 2025.

Tricks and tips to get the perfect Nags Head vacation property experience:

Get the most from your spending budget:

  • Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
  • Reserve your vacation home in Fall or Spring months to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Nags Head vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
  • Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction.
  • Property management companies often offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
  • Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Nags Head area visitor guides which include special deals, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Nags Head visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Planning and choosing your prefectrental home:

  • First, have your family commit to trip dates and a max budget.
  • Semi-Oceanfront
  • Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is often available online. If they are not listed, email or call the property management company before you reserve the rental. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds. You'll need to determine what is suitable for your vacation.
  • Remember to include your furry companions! Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Pet fees or costs applied to your invoice.
  • Are you visiting for a single attraction? If so, use a map search to browse nearby properties.
  • Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental

More tips for your visit:

  • Add the host's contact info to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
  • Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
  • Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are away, just like you would back home.
  • Upon check-in, record any issues with the property and immediately contact the host. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
  • Respect your neighbors. Often, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
  • Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
  • Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to confirm you've collected everything. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
  • Record a video to document the condition of the property.
  • Did your group have a fantastic stay? Many rental managers make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
