About this Property

- Private vacation home
Sand Castle Cottage is a freshly modernized, semi-oceanfront vacation home in South Nags Head. In addition to having your very own private pool and hot tub, the ground level is set up for around-the-clock outdoor entertainment and relaxation. Whether you're firing up the grille, calming by the pool or going one-on-one in foosball or ping pong, everybody can do their thing while still being together. Finest of all, getting to the beach will be hassle-complimentary using the Jacob Street beach access. It's just a three-min. walk from the home but also provides parking, as well as a ramp and wooden walkway for effortlessly crossing the dunes.
After a day at the beach, come home and gather in the comfortably furnished great room with an ocean view. This bright and airy, open-concept space features vaulted ceilings and an abundance of natural light. At Sand Castle Cottage, you'll find opportunities for outdoor living everywhere you turn. Two levels of decking on the east and west sides of the home offer both sun and shade, and all four bedrooms provide deck access. The living area leads directly out to an broad, east-facing deck where you can savor the salty ocean breezes and morning sunrises. The back deck overlooks the pool below and the undisturbed nature preserve for gorgeous sunset vistas. Back inside, the chef in the family will appreciate the refreshed kitchen with stainless steel appliances and bar seating. The top-level king suite is located on the back end of the home for plenty of privacy and features an ensuite bath with walk-in shower. Three additional bedrooms on the mid-level (including a second king ensuite) will comfortably accommodate family and friends.
Located at Milepost 19.5 where the beaches are wide and uncrowded, Sand Castle Cottage is in a slower-paced, family-friendly area while still being just a short drive away from grocery stores, shopping and dining. Take a five-min. bicycle ride to the Outer Banks Fishing Pier and Fish Head's Bar and Grille, where you can order food and drinks on the oceanfront while listening to live music. You'll be just 3 miles from Coquina Beach and the 4x4 beaches, part of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore and a favorite local spot for fishing and surfing. From there, discover Bodie Island Lighthouse or head south for a day trip to Ocracoke.
No family pets allowed - pet complimentary. No smoking/vaping. Please refer to the Rental Agreement while reviewing Rules & Policies for pool opening/closing dates.

Our top Nags Head vacation rental home tips:
Find your perfect rental home:
- Reserving a rental home in the Fall or Spring is our best tip for saving money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season.
- The sooner you can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are booked early. Booking your rental home up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your rental home.
- Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your family qualifies for a special rate.
- Property management companies usually offer their guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
- Many management companies supply Nags Head area visitor guides which include special offers, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Nags Head visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.
Make a plan and choose a perfectvacation home:
- Begin by selecting a vacation week and a maximum budget.
- Determine how many beds and the configuration your family needs. Sand Castle Cottage: Semi-Oceanfront
- Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is regularly accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property management company before you reserve the rental. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms.
- If there's a particular Nags Head destination you love, keep an eye out for properties that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
- Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
- If your group is vacationing with pets, you must book a pet-friendly property. Request specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Be aware that some hosts charge additional pet fees.
Considerations for your stay:
- Add the host's contact information to your phone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
- To make certain that no damages are attributed to your family's visit, note any problem areas when you arrive. E-mail the rental manager right away to record your findings. If there is a dispute, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
- Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call prevents a lot of concerns.
- Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant visitors disrupting your home life. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would have never otherwise known about!
- Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
- Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are out, just like you would at home.
- Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all personal items. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. 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.
- Leave a review! Property owners rely on good ratings to inspire new bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
