Nags Head vacation rental home tips and tricks:

Find your perfect vacation home:

In the Nags Head area, The earlier your group can book a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental homes are reserved early. Booking your rental home up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental home.
June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Nags Head area. To get the largest rental home for your budget, we strongly suggest reserving in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular attractions. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August. 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? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your group qualifies for a reduced rate.
Management companies and individual rental owners often offer renters an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.

You can also find Nags Head visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is almost always available on booking pages. If not, email the property owner before booking the home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms.
If your family is bringing pets, you must book a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property owners charge additional pet fees.
If there's a particular Nags Head beach you long to visit, browse homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.

Advice for a terrific stay:

Get the owner's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your . Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are out, just like you would at home.
Record any damages to the property upon arrival, and immediately send them to the owner. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be valuable if a dispute arises.
Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a great source for finding the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can often help. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
Re-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed all belongings at departure. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
Did your group have a great time? Most rental managers make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
