Private vacation home

The Purple Whale is a semi-oceanfront coastal getaway offering a beautiful interior, inviting outdoor deck space, and a prime location near the beach, shopping, and some of the best dining Nags Head has to offer!

Step inside The Purple Whale to the inviting living area with comfortable seating. The well-equipped open kitchen offers an island, providing additional counter space and an additional seating area for 2. Savor plenty of natural light from the wall of windows in the separate dining area.

A queen-sized pull out couch and three comfortable, gorgeously decorated bedrooms await your arrival, including a king en suite with a private bath, a queen bedroom, and a bunk bedroom that's ideal for the little ones.

Outside on the sun deck, embrace the warm ocean breezes with a cup of coffee amidst the warmth of an Outer Banks sunrise, or relax on the back deck with a glass of wine and savor the spectacular sunset over the sound after a fun-filled day at the beach, located just across the street!

When not spending time calming on the beach, splash around in the above-ground pool, play a game of cornhole in the back yard, or kick back with a good book in the inviting covered area. Before heading upstairs, refresh yourself in the outdoor shower.

The striking beaches of Nags Head can be conveniently accessed via a crosswalk at the Gull Street public beach access, only roughly 200 feet away from The Purple Whale. The Purple Whale is also located just a short walk (less than half a mile) from many eateries and family-friendly activities! The whole family will appreciate Jennette’s Pier, offering public beach access with a bath home, an aquarium, and of course, world-class fishing. The freshly-refreshed Whalebone Park Playground can also be found close by. Nearby dining options include a few of Nags Head’s most appreciated eateries, including Owens’, The Dunes, Sam and Omie’s, Fatboyz Ice Cream, Dune Burger, and more.

Whether you seek a cherished home away from home for your annual Outer Banks vacations or the ideal haven for reconnecting with adored ones amidst the beach's natural beauty, The Purple Whale is the home for you!

Tricks and tips to get the perfect rental experience:

Money saving strategies:

June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To book the best rental home within your budget, we recommend reserving in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular Nags Head attractions. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Nags Head vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
Some property management companies offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation 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 ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Nags Head area travel guide magazines which will include special offers, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to choose the perfect rental:

To start, have your group agree to vacation dates and a budget.
Pool
Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is often available on booking pages. If they are not listed, email or call the property owner before you reserve the property. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches.
If there's a certain Nags Head destination you long to visit, search for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your desires.
Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking
Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional pet fees or applied to your contract.

More tips for your visit:

Take a copy of the host's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your .
At Check-in, make note of any damages to the property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, television set or kitchen appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents a lot of difficulties.
Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often an excellent source for finding the best local beaches and hangouts.
Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can usually help. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
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.
Double-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed everything on check-out day. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
Record a video to document the condition of the property.
Did your group have a great time? Most rental websites make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or host was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
