Make Surfer's Watch the home away from home that your family will want to return to every year. This classic oceanfront getaway in Nags Head offers exceptional vistas and convenient access to the beach using the adjacent Blackman Street walkway. Spend the day surfing, swimming, or shelling - when the beach is your backyard, the possibilities are countless! Surfer's Watch welcomes family pets, so bring your fur babies along to play by your side on the dog-friendly beaches of Nags Head. You'll both appreciate the convenience of having an enclosed dog run on the ground level.
Two levels of east-facing covered decks provide plenty of outdoor space for watching the sunrise and listening to the crashing waves. Inside, kick back and relax in the comfortably furnished great room, where a wall of east-facing windows showcases the impressive view of the shining Atlantic. The open-concept layout is ideal for spending quality time together, even while preparing meals in the well-equipped kitchen. The primary ensuite bedroom is also located on the top level and includes access to a private sun deck. Downstairs, you'll find four additional bedrooms, including a second queen ensuite. The ground level features a fish cleaning station where you can prepare the catch of the day before firing up the grille.

Tricks and tips to get the perfect vacation rental experience:
How to get the best rental value:
- Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
- Book your Nags Head rental home in Spring or Fall to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Nags Head vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
- Some hosts and property managers offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family.
- Property management companies often offer renters an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
- Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Nags Head area visitors guide magazines which include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Nags Head visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.
Finding the perfect vacation home:
- Start by selecting your vacation dates and a max budget.
- Note the number beds and the bed configuration your family needs. Surfer's Watch: Oceanfront
- Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is almost always available online. If they are not listed, call the property management company before booking the vacation property. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
- Are you bringing the family pet? 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. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Additional pet fees or charges may be applied to your invoice.
- Is your group looking for particular amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
- Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental
More considerations for your visit:
- Add the owner's contact information to your phone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
- Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
- Lock your rental property while you're away! Don't let crooks ruin your family vacation.
- To make certain damages are not attributed to your family's visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas when you arrive. Speak to the property manager right away to relay your findings. If there is a dispute, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be useful.
- Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
- Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
- Just prior to departing, complete a walk-through to make sure you didn't leave anything behind. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
- Inspect the property one final time and look for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
- Remember to leave a review! Property owners rely on great ratings to compel more bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your experience find their best rental home. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
