About this Property

  • Sleeps 8
  • 4 Bedrooms
  • 2 Bathrooms
  • Private vacation home

Toad Hall was the last bungalow designed and constructed by famed Outer Banks architect Stephen Twine yet it is modern, well-equipped, comfortable, and convenient. One of our most fashionable cottages, it is nearly surrounded by the 500 acre Jockey's Ridge State Park Natural Area and only 400 feet from one of the most beautiful stretch of sound-shore beach of the entire Outer Banks. Toad Hall is a great location for wind-surfers, kite-boarders, kayakers, hang-gliders, bird-watchers and nature lovers of every variety - or those who simply savor open space. The huge "dune deck" offers an unparalleled view of Jockey's Ridge State Park. The Sound shore near Toad Hall is a great place for kids to play and for parents to relax. The shallow sound waters don't have the currents and waves of the ocean and we never have "red flag" days! The sound is also magnificant for sail boats, kayaks, kite boards, paddleboards, or just about any type of personal watercraft. Plus your family pets can appreciate the calm shallow waters. Jockeys Ridge State Park is 500 acres of natural open space preserving the East Coast's highest sand-dune. The dunes offer ample wildlife, spectacular vistas, hang gliding, and kite flying. All that open space makes a excellent and safe playground in the busy summer season.

Tricks and tips to get the very best rental experience:

Money saving strategies:

  • Summer months are high season in the Nags Head area. Booking your Nags Head vacation home in the Spring or Fall is a great way to save on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer.
  • Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
  • Property managers sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
  • Property management companies frequently offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
  • Many property management companies supply Nags Head area visitor guide magazines that include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or through 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 gas stations and shopping centers.

How to choose the best rental in Nags Head:

  • Start by having your family decide on the best dates and a budget.
  • Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. Historic old Nags Head next to Jockey's Ridge! Great views, walk to sound access has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
  • Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is commonly available online. If you don't see them listed, call the host before you reserve the rental. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to establish what bed configuration is optimal for your vacation group.
  • Does your group require unique amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
  • Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking.
  • Some rental properties allow pets, and some do not. Allowable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask your host about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

Tips for your stay:

  • Put the owner's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
  • Upon arrival, note any damages to the property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
  • Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
  • Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a great source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
  • Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
  • Lock your rental property while you are away! Don't let burglars ruin your trip.
  • Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all belongings. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
  • Go through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, remember to take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
  • Remember to leave a review! Hosts rely on excellent reviews to inspire future bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your review find their best rental home. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.

Most know The Cotton Gin as a must-stop shop for fine gifts, beachwear, souvenirs and so much more, but this retailer has a long-standing history within the Outer Banks. A local landmark that holds almost a century of memories, The Cotton Gin started from humble beginnings and continues to adapt to the times and tourists. Tommy Wright’s family has been in the Outer Banks for nearly 200 years. His great-great grandfather, Jacob Francis Wright, shipwrecked in Duck back in the early 1800s. Calling these barrier islands his new home, Wright and his family acclimated to their new environment.

 

Adaptation is a common theme for the Wright family. Tommy and his wife Candace, who continue to steer The Cotton Gin, have seen not only their business change with the times, but the Outer Banks as a vacation destination as well. A farm market in Jarvisburg eventually transformed and flourished into several retail locations dotting the Outer Banks.

 

“As the area changed and tourism took off in the 1960s, the family saw people coming for vacations, so they began to grow vegetables and things developed from there,” says Tommy Wright. The Wright family expanded upon the farm market and began to remodel a working cotton gin, later transforming the gin into The Cotton Gin general store in the late 1960s. While the additions to the farm store drew visitors, it was their encounters with the Wright family that kept people coming back year after year, which is something that remains true today.
