Private vacation home

Renovations are underway for the 2024 season! Improvements will include new floor and fresh paint throughout, new furnishings, and refreshed fixtures. New photos coming soon! Sand Castle Cottage is a freshly updated, 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 conveniently 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 appreciate the salty ocean breezes and morning sunrises. The back deck overlooks the pool below and the undisturbed nature preserve for impressive sunset vistas. Back inside, the chef in the family will savor the updated 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.

Booking the best Nags Head rental home experience:

When to go & When to book:

Summer is the most expensive season in the Nags Head area. Reserve your rental property in the Fall or Spring to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months.
Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Nags Head area visitors guide magazines which often include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Nags Head visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Make a plan and choose the rightvacation home:

Start by choosing vacation dates and a maximum budget.
Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Sand Castle Cottage: Renovated, Semi-Oceanfront has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Nags Head vacation rental search.
Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email the property management company before booking the vacation home. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds. You will need to work out what is suitable for your group.
If there's a certain Nags Head attraction you crave, search for properties that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental.
Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Pet fees or could be applied to your invoice.

Additional considerations:

We recommend storing the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
Upon check-in, note any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often a fantastic resource to find the best local beaches.
Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
Lock your rental property while you are out! Don't let thieves ruin your family vacation.
Re-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all belongings at departure. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
Go through the property a final time and scan for damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, remember to take photos and video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
After your trip, leave feedback! Property owners rely on good feedback to compel future bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
