Fred Wood Cottage: Historic, oceanfront home in Nags Head with wide broad decks and magnificant ocean vistas!

Bed Sizes: 2 King, 1 Double, 4 Twin

Along a two-mile stretch in Nags Head sits a row of homes that will take you back to days gone by and the Fred Wood Cottage c.1930. These beautiful oceanfront, old Nags Head style cottages are a testament to the pioneers who constructed these and brought their families across the sound to vacation here in the summer. The wide expansive porches are a distinctive feature of these homes, encircling four sides of the home with sloping roofs and providing a place for families to gather out of the sun. Many hours were spent on the porches watching the ocean and talking with family, friends, and neighbors. The Fred Wood Cottage is known to have the best front porch on the east coast! Inside you'll feel the history continue with the wood-paneled walls and wooden floors and impressive decor. This historic home is sure to be a family favorite year after year. Fred Wood Cottage was constructed to withstand the elements and keep families comfortable during the summer. Take the sandy path to the beach and appreciate a day basking in the sun, surfing, swimming, and searching for seashells and sea glass. Bring your family and friends to this striking home and add to the new memories being made in this historic home.

How to find the best vacation rental experience:

Cost saving strategies:

Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
Reserve your rental property in Fall or Spring months to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Nags Head vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction.
Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer their guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
Look for your local Nags Head visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, visitors guides contain coupons for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

Filter your search:

First and foremost, have your family agree to date ranges and a maximum budget.
Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Fred Wood Cottage:Oceanfront, historic, Old Nags Head Style cottage, wide decks! has 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Nags Head rental home search.
Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property management company before you reserve the vacation property. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to determine what configuration is suitable for your group.
If your group is bringing pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Be aware that some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
Is your group looking for unique amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists.
Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental

Know before you go:

Be sure you get the property manager's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property.
Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or coffee maker. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents a lot of difficulties.
Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are out, just like you would back home.
To make sure that damages aren't attributed to your family's stay, inspect for any problem areas during arrival. Get in touch with the property manager right away to record any issues. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors bothering your peace and quiet. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and attractions you would've never otherwise known!
Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected everything. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean out 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.
Did you have a fantastic stay? Many rental websites make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property management company was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
