Rental home tips and tricks:

Get the best value:

In the Nags Head area, The earlier you can book a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are booked very early. Reserving your rental six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.
June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. Reserve your vacation in Fall or Spring to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Nags Head vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
Some owners offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if discounts are available for your group.
Property managers often offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Nags Head area travel guide magazines which often include money-saving deals, 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 magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Filter your search:

Choose your vacation dates and max budget.
Decide how many beds and the configuration you need. Semi-Oceanfront Ground Level Apt???? Basic, Beachside Living?Private Access Road has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is commonly accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, email or call the host before reserving your rental. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds.

More considerations:

Put the manager's information in your smartphone.
Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
Lock your rental property while you are out! Don't let thieves ruin your holiday.
Document any damages to the rental at check in, and immediately contact the owner. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are very helpful if damages are attributed to your stay.
Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a great source for finding the best local attractions.
Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents 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 BBQ?
Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected everything. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
Go through the property one final time and scan for damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, remember to take video of the property to record its condition.
Leave a review! Property managers rely on good feedback to compel more reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
