Summary:
Vacation in simpler times with your pups.

The sound of the screen door closing behind you, the smell of the sea in the air and the vintage feel of old school Nags Head - if you've ever said, "remember when," then this 1950's bungalow is for you! Renovated yet nostalgic and full of classic Nags Head appeal, this is the well-appointed beach bungalow you’ve been looking for.

A dog-friendly bungalow with a studio layout, Kemp & Olive features a well-equipped kitchen, a flat screen TV, WiFi, cable, a shared washer & dryer, and a mini-split heating & air conditioning system for optimal temperature control. The outdoor area offers an outdoor shower, charcoal grille, an outdoor hose, and a backyard firepit – B.Y.O firewood and smores!! For your convenience, the bungalow has a cart for hauling your beach gear to and from the sand.

Linens and cleaning are supplied in the rate. Linens are supplied by an independent vendor (bed linens, bath towels, washcloths, sheets). Bed will be made when you arrive!

Our fabulous caretakers, Mike and Lisa, live close by and are as committed to your experience as we are.

Located on the beach road, the property is just a short walk away from a striking beach access over a natural dune on Grouse Street (see aerial photos above). One of two cottages onsite, Kemp and Olive is one of just a handful of bungalow courts still in existence in Nags Head.

In addition to many local retail stores, fine and casual dining establishments and grocery stores, the bungalow is also close to many great local attractions including the attractively modernized Jennette's Pier (less than one mile away), the North Carolina Aquarium in Manteo, Jockey's Ridge, Tanger Outlet shopping, Bodie Island Lighthouse, Coquina Beach, and off-roading and fishing at Oregon Inlet.

There is a two-dog max., we do not allow cats, and we do not charge a pet fee. There is no smoking allowed in the bungalow. The bungalow is not handicap accessible.

Thank you for considering Kemp & Olive Cottage!

Tips and Tricks to get the perfect rental experience:

When to book & When to go:

June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To find the best value, try changing your family's Nags Head vacation dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer great temperatures, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic.
Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host whether your family qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
Property management companies typically offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
Often, management companies supply Nags Head area travel guide magazines which include special deals, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Selecting and booking the rightrental:

Choose dates and maximum budget.
Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. Kemp & Olive Cottage: Tiny Cottage for Two Guests and Pups! has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly available on booking websites. Otherwise, call the property owner before you book your home. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to work out what is optimal for your trip.
Are you visiting for a single event or attraction? If so, use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking
If your group is vacationing with pets, you must book a pet-friendly vacation rental. Ask for specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Often, property owners charge pet deposits and fees.

More tips for your visit:

Add the owner's phone number to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
Note any damages to the rental at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be valuable if damages are attributed to your stay.
Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy 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'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be an excellent source for finding the best local beaches and hangouts.
Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are out, just like you would back home.
Double-check the property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings at check-out. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
Leave a review! Property managers rely on excellent ratings to compel future reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your review find their best vacation home. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
