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 roomy 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 beverages 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.

Tricks and tips to get the perfect vacation rental experience:

Sticking to your spending budget:

Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
Booking your vacation home in Fall or Spring months is our best tip for saving money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Nags Head vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
Property managers sometimes offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
Booking websites often offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you between 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, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
Look for your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guides have discounts for nearby tours and attractions.

Planning and choosing your prefectrental:

Select a group leader, choose your vacation week, and choose a max budget.
Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. 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 usually accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the host before booking your rental. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds.
If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some hosts charge additional pet fees.
Visiting for a specific attraction? Use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking.

Additional considerations:

Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, stereo or appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents lots of issues.
Lock your vacation home while you're out and about. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
Upon arrival, note any damages to the property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a great resource to find the best local beaches and restaurants.
Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
Double-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all personal items at departure. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
Record a video to document the condition of the property.
Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on great ratings to stimulate future reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your review find their best vacation home. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
