Fourth Estate Cottage: A comfortable and comfortable historic oceanfront home located in the heart of Nags Head that has a sandy path to the beach and offers guests YMCA access during their stay!

Bed Sizes: 3 Queen, 2 Double

Families have maintained the look and feel of these historic homes located in Nags Head and the Fourth Estate Cottage c.1935 lets you step back in time when families came to the beach and appreciated each other's company, kids played on the beach and everybody gathered on the wide cavernous covered decks to talk about life. Imagine the stories that have been told for generations here and will be told for generations to come. Evening drinks and morning swims were a part of the tradition so make sure you do the same. The Old Nags Head appeal still exists here but with added modern amenities this home will be the place to rest, rejuvenate and make memorable memories. The lower level offers living, dining, and kitchen areas where everybody can gather for family time and delicious meals. The original bath on the main level has a claw foot tub so you have that rustic charm and the top level has four bedrooms and upgraded baths so everybody will be sure to find the ideal spot to end an adventurous day. Bring the family to this unforgettable home where you can share in the history and memories of years past.

Vacation rental booking tips and tricks:

How to get the best rental value:

Summer time is high season in Nags Head. To book the largest vacation home within your budget, we highly recommend booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at Nags Head restaurants, tours, and activities. 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 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? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
Booking websites frequently offer customers an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
Often, property management companies supply Nags Head area visitors guides that include special offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Nags Head visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Narrow your Search:

Choose a designated group leader, select your dates, and choose a spending budget.
Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your family requires. Fourth Estate Cottage:Historic oceanfront, sandy path to the beach, comfy & cozy has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is regularly available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the host before you book the home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches.
If there's a specific Nags Head destination you love, browse properties that are either near by, or those that cater to your requirements.
Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to book a rental that allows animals. Get specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, property owners charge pet deposits and fees.

More considerations:

Take a copy of the property manager's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property. Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
Note any issues with the property during check in, and immediately send them to the host. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be beneficial if a dispute arises.
Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be a great resource to find the best local beaches.
Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
Keep the property locked while you are out! Don't let burglars ruin your family vacation.
Double-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed everything on check-out day. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
Walk through the rental one final time and look for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, remember to take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
Did you have a wonderful time? Many rental managers make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or host was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix 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.
