- Private vacation home
Me-Shell strikes the ideal balance between classic Old Nags Head style beach home and modern comfort. This 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath bungalow sits on a enormous lot in a prime location - oceanfront and just across the street from Jockey's Ridge state park. So while you have neighbors to your north and south, there are actually no homes to the east or west of Me-Shell and the bungalow features magnificant vistas all day, from sunrise over the Atlantic to sunset over the state park!
This 1932 original Nags Head oceanfront bungalow features classic Nags Head details such as wrap around porches and tongue and groove knotty pine paneling and it has been lovingly maintained and refreshed over the years. You will feel like you've stepped back in time while sitting on the porches surrounded by the dunes of Nags Head but step into the kitchen and you will find top of the line appliances. You can see, smell and hear the Atlantic ocean from this oceanfront bungalow and you are just steps away from a fun-filled day at the beach. Rinse-off afterwards in the private outdoor shower before a calming family dinner on the deck. If you prefer to eat out or want to discover some of the fantastic attractions the Outer Banks has to offer, there are tons of delicious local eateries and family-friendly activities close by. Just across the street is the famed Jockey's Ridge State Park and only a couple of miles up the road is Dowdy Park and the marvelous Dowdy Park Farmer's Market. The central location in Nags Head offers painless access to many local attractions: Roanoke Island, Hatteras Island, Oregon Inlet, the NC Aquarium, the Wright Brothers Monument, Corolla wild horses, etc. Come appreciate the classic Nags Head magic of Me-Shell and you will find yourself coming back year after year!

Strategies for getting the best Nags Head vacation home experience:
When to go & When to book:
- The sooner your group can book a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best rental homes are reserved early. Reserving your vacation rental up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
- Booking your Nags Head vacation home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is our favorite way to save money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable homes.
- Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
- Property managers frequently offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
- Find a copy of your local Nags Head visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, visitors guides contain money saving offers on nearby tours and attractions.
Filter your rental search:
- To start, have your family commit to vacation dates and a max budget.
- Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration you need. Classic OCEANFRONT home! Prime location near Jockey's Ridge! Incredible views! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
- Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often accessible on booking websites. If not, contact the property owner before booking your home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to work out what is suitable for your trip.
- Some rental properties allow pets, but some do not. Acceptable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the property manager about pet restrictions before booking.
- If there's a certain Nags Head attraction you long to visit, keep an eye out for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
- Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
More tips for your visit:
- Put the owner's information in your smartphone.
- Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, stereo or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call prevents many problems.
- Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are out, just like you would at home.
- To ensure that damages are not attributed to your family's stay, inspect for any problem areas during check in. Make contact with the host immediately to record any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
- Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers bothering your quiet neighborhood. Use the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and places you would have not otherwise known!
- Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
- Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the property to confirm you've collected all personal belongings. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
- Walk through the rental one final time and scan for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can. If the manager is not available, ensure that you take photos and video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
- Did your group have a fantastic vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your property and/or property management company was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order and they failed to address 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 comments.
