Discover the Best Places to Stay in Nags Head

Welcome to the heart of North Carolina’s Outer Banks! The popularity of Nags Head as an ideal vacation destination reaches as far back as the mid-1800s when just one hotel and a handful of cottages dotted the landscape from the sound side to the sea. The Town of Nags Head now stretches from Milepost 10 to 22. Northern Nags Head offers great variety in activities, shopping, restaurants and well-appointed communities, oceanfront to sound front, like Old Nags Head Place at Milepost 12 and The Village at Nags Head at Milepost 15. The area south of Milepost 16.5 known as South Nags Head is primarily residential and backs up to Pea Island Wildlife Refuge, allowing a feeling of being away from it all yet within minutes of the action. The Town of Nags Head has over 30 public beach accesses, some with parking and ten with lifeguard stands. There are several sound-side water access points.


Jockey’s Ridge, the largest living sand dune on the East Coast, is the crowning jewel of Nags Head. Learn how to fly a hang glider, explore the wildlife, or see how fast you can run down the tallest dune! Nags Head also offers three piers, wonderful wide beaches, the Nags Head Golf Links, many putt-putt courses, and plenty of choices for restaurants and shopping. Many Nags Head homes offer access to the Outer Banks Family YMCA near milepost 11. Don’t hesitate to reach out to our experienced local team for help finding the perfect Nags Head vacation rental for your trip!

Popular Nags Head Beach Rental Amenities

Nags Head vacations are unhurried by design. Mornings begin on the deck as salt air drifts in off the Atlantic and Jockey's Ridge rises on the other side. Slow hours by the pool stretching into long afternoons on the beach and sandy feet finding their way back to the deck by dinner create annual traditions. No two families carry the same tradition just as no two rentals in our collection are the same. Somewhere in Village Realty's 250+ Nags Head vacation rentals is the one your family will request by name for years to come, and these amenities are the best place to start looking. Start with what matters most to your crew and find the beach rental that fits your week.

What better way to start the day than by watching the sunrise from Ocean's Edge oceanfront decks or top floor oceanfront living area. After enjoying your coffee, perhaps a stroll over the dune walk to the beach to search for seashells or sea glass, or just enjoy the sound of the waves.If you feel the need to stay connected watch the morning news on
