Perfect Nags Head Beach House Haven
When you come to the Outer Banks on vacation, you’re expecting a retreat that makes you feel like you are truly “at one” with the beach. Located at MP10.1 in Nags Head, Happy Sol is guaranteed to make your soul happy. This 9 bedroom, 11 bathroom endearing beach cottage was the 2017 Parade of Homes People’s Choice Award Recipient and features hardwood floors throughout. It has everything that you will need to make your Outer Banks vacation the best week of the year. Enjoy clean, filtered air in the home with the newly installed HVAC REME HALO LED air purifier system and fresh, ocean breezes out on one of the several balconies that boast some of the most gorgeous views on the beach. Play Shuffleboard or Foosball in the Game Room before splashing around in your private pool, which has the option to be heated for an additional fee.* Relax in the bubbly hot tub when you’re done there and enjoy some adult beverages at your own Tiki bar! And since you are at the Outer Banks, be sure to take your private boardwalk over the dunes and straight to the water where fun in the sand and surf awaits!

When you step into this home, all of your worries will immediately wash away as the beauty and grandeur of this house surround you. Relax after your long drive in the ground-floor game room/recreation lounge where you can play shuffleboard and foosball or whip up some light refreshments and adult drinks at the wet bar, equipped with its own ice maker, coffee maker, and refrigerator. Send the kiddos over to the children’s TV room where they can unwind with comfy gaming chairs and a flat-screen TV. Down here, you’ll also find 2 King Bedrooms with private bathrooms and a Bedroom with 2 Queen Beds. The ground floor also has a conveniently located laundry area to make end-of-the-day cleanup a breeze. Be sure to take the elevator, which you can access from each floor!

On the mid-level, you’ll begin to see just how close you are to the ocean with the gorgeous mid-level porch which is covered and has seating for 4. Go out just a little bit further on the tiled path and you’ll find an open sun deck, great for perfecting your vacation tan. Back inside is the pub area with a wet bar, pool table, and poker table that lead to the in-home theater where you and ten of your family members can retreat from the summer sun for a movie experience like no other. This floor also boasts 3 King Bedrooms with private bathrooms, one of which also has private access to a streetside porch. Further down the hall, you’ll find the Bunk Suite which has 2/pyramid bunks built into the walls and a bathroom with a shower stall.

Take the elevator up to the top floor and you will find what is arguably the best part of this spacious home that is just perfect for large families. The view of the ocean from this floor is unmatched. Take in the ocean air and natural light in the beautiful living area which is set up with cozy furniture perfect for a relaxing evening of watching the waves or enjoying family movie night on the flat-screen TV. When it’s time for dinner, pop right over into the gourmet kitchen where there’s plenty of space to whip up a gourmet seafood spectacular for the whole family to enjoy, with 5 seats also available at the kitchen island. Use the 6-burner gas stovetop and multiple ovens to make the perfect meal. Eat in the dazzling dining area, with its own wet bar, which seats 16, or take your Outer Banks delicacies out onto the tiled covered patio where you can enjoy your meal or adult beverage while enjoying the sight and sound of rushing waves and swirling sand through the beautiful glass see-through railing. Take a look around back inside, and you’ll find two cozy King Bedrooms, each with private bathrooms, an additional hallway half bathroom, and a calming covered porch overlooking the street.

When you’re ready to live your best vacation life, head on downstairs for the ultimate outdoor relaxation experience in the large Outdoor Covered Area. Splash around in the large private pool or rest up in the 8-person hot tub after a long day in the ocean. Take advantage of the Outdoor Shower when you’re back from the beach before testing out your mixology skills in the covered Tiki Bar. Relax and read a book under the Covered Terrace, before heading out to look for sand fiddler crabs in the surf. Whether you’re looking to go out and enjoy the adventure and history of the Outer Banks, spend your days in the surf and sand, or if spending the week inside a dreamy beach getaway is your idea of the perfect vacation, Happy Sol is sure to make your soul happy. 

Enjoy Nags Head Attractions
Because Happy Sol is conveniently located in the heart of Nags Head, you’ll have easy access to a variety of Outer Banks attractions, restaurants, retail shops, and local landmarks. Jockey’s Ridge State Park is one of the best places on the entire island to catch a stunning sunset over the Roanoke Sound. The Nags Head Fishing Pier offers opportunities for pier fishing and sightseeing as well as a full-service restaurant and oceanfront bar with an amazing view from every seat. Golfing enthusiasts will enjoy Happy Sol’s proximity to the Nags Head Golf Links. In the mood for a bike ride, jog, or a leisurely stroll to take in the scenery? Happy Sol is also very close to the paved pathway that extends for several miles to the north and the south, so you can explore everything the town of Nags Head has to offer without the worry of sharing the street with traffic. You’ll also be just a short drive from the Nags Head Town Park and Nags Head Woods Preserve, a gorgeous nature preserve in the heart of Nags Head that is perfect for hiking and sightseeing.

FAQ

What do all the different locations mean?

There are two (2) roads running north/south on the Outer Banks. The "Beach Road" (NC 12) is a 2-lane road with a speed limit of 35 MPH. The "Bypass" (US 158) is a 5-lane road with speed limits 45-50 MPH. 

 

Please note: The Bypass is incredibly busy during the summer season on the Outer Banks. Seaside Vacations advises our guests to please take safety precautions when traveling on the Bypass. If you must cross the Bypass on foot, please make sure to do so at designated pedestrian crosswalks - never using the center turn lane as a stopping point.

 

Oceanfront - An oceanfront home has no homes or buildable lots located between it and the ocean. The distance between the home and the ocean may vary. 

 

Semi-Oceanfront - Semi-oceanfront homes are located one lot back from the ocean and may or may not require crossing the road. Children always will need assistance to cross any road. The rental may or may not have a home between it and the beach. The distance to the water, beach accesses, and views vary.  

 

Oceanside - These homes are located east of Highway 158. These homes have two or more homes between them and the ocean. These homes may or may not require crossing a road, and may or may not have an ocean view. The distance to the ocean varies. 

 

Soundside - These homes are located west of Highway 158 from Southern Shores to Nags Head and west of Highway 12 from Southern Shores to Corolla. The distance to the sound and views vary. Some homes may not have direct access to the sound (soundside homes in the village of Duck do not have direct access to the sound).  

 

Soundfront - These properties front the sound with no homes or lots in between. The distance to the sound, access to the sound and the view vary. Sunsets can be gorgeous! 

Do you offer any travel insurance? 

We offer travel insurance through Red Sky Travel Insurance. We highly recommend a travel insurance plan, especially since the Outer Banks is so prone to hurricanes. The travel insurance plan is priced affordably and covers a variety of issues that could impact your vacation should unforeseen circumstances occur. As they say on TV, “Life comes at you fast.” Most notably would be a mandatory evacuation due to a hurricane. Here are a few other things covered by travel insurance: sickness, injury or death of you or a family member, business partner, or traveling companion, the insured’s principal residence being made uninhabitable by fire, flood, vandalism, or burglary, involuntary termination of employment, military duty, etc.

 

If you would like to have specific questions answered, please call RedSky Travel Insurance at (866) 889-7409 or visit www.suntrippreserver.com (policy coverage information).

 

Remember, in order to have coverage due to a named hurricane, a travel insurance plan cannot be added after a tropical storm becomes a “named hurricane.” We tell you this because it could be very costly to wait. You would have to contact Red Sky Travel Insurance for specific details.

Do I have to pay any taxes on my rental? 

Unfortunately, the tax man doesn’t take vacations. Obviously, we do not set the tax rates and we only collect the taxes for the county. If your rental home is in Currituck County (Corolla), the tax is 12.75%. If your home is in Duck, Southern Shores, Kitty Hawk, Kill Devil Hills, or Nags Head, the tax is 12.75%.

I don’t see rates for next year. When will these be available?

We publish rates for the following year in spring/summer of the current year. You may reserve the home by paying the first half of the rent or by setting up payments with our Vacation Layaway Program. If you don't see rates or availability for a home online yet, give us a call and we can place a hold on the home for you. 

What/where is Club Seaside?

Club Seaside is an exclusive program consisting of complimentary events and discounts on popular Outer Banks activities that are exclusive to Seaside Vacations guests. Click on Club Seaside to obtain more information including schedules, contact information and to make reservations for each activity.

*Some events include a small fee.

Are linens and towels provided? 

Linens and towels are provided for ALL of the homes in our vacation rental home program. 

 

Towel sets are also provided. There are enough towel sets for the number the house sleeps.

 

One bath towel, one hand towel and one washcloth per person is provided. The towels and linens are placed on each bed in the home. One bath mat per bathroom is also provided. (Towels are not freshened daily.) Two potholders, one dish towel, and one dishcloth are provided and are placed on the kitchen counter prior to your arrival.

 

We do offer extra sets of both towels and linens at an additional charge. For prices and to place an order, contact a Vacation Specialist at (866) 884-0267.

 

Please Note: Beds are not made prior to your arrival. Linens are provided for them and are placed on their respective beds. 

Does my property have internet access and how is the WiFi? 

Most of our properties do offer internet access. Please check your property's website description to determine what type of internet service (if any) is available. If your home doesn’t provide this service, there are many free WiFi hotspots all over the Outer Banks. 

 

Wifi is normally very good, however, being in a remote area there are occasional unexpected outages. In those events, we will do everything in our power to get service restored as quickly as possible, but we would recommend bringing a hotspot as a backup plan if wifi is a necessity for your family.

 

Below is the lowest broadband speed for Dare County's internet providers:

 

Spectrum: 50MB
Century Link: 10MB

What are your policies on bringing a pet? 

Most dog friendly homes allow two (2) mature, house-trained dogs (75-pound limit). Dogs are not allowed in any rental home unless otherwise indicated. Cats and other animals are not permitted. A $160 fee (plus tax) per dog per week is added to the rental amount. Dogs (and any other animal) are not allowed in pools, hot tubs or spas. Tenants are responsible for any damage incurred by their dog, as this type of damage is not covered under our Security Deposit Waiver Fee. Owners of dogs at non-dog homes will be subject to a $200 unauthorized pet fee and may be evicted without a refund. 

Please be aware that all of our beaches have leash laws.

Our vacation home has a pool. Can we have the pool heated? 

Pool heat is available with some of our homes typically between April-June and September-October. There is an additional charge for pool heat and this charge varies by home.

 

Please remember that most pool heaters will only heat the water 5 to 8 degrees above the outside air temperatures. For example, if the air temperature is only 60 degrees, the pool water will likely be no warmer than 68 degrees. Pool heat does not give a “hot tub” effect, it merely prolongs the pool swimming season.

What time is check-in? 

Please know that we want to get all of our guests into their vacation home as soon as we can. Our check-in time begins at 5:00 p.m., as the houses become available and are released by Housekeeping and Maintenance. We will be happy to check you in as soon as the cleaners/inspectors give us the "OK." Again, please know that our goal is to get you on your way, enjoying your vacation, as soon as we can.

I have keyless entry. Do I still have to come to the office?

Our keyless entry service allows you to go straight to the home on check-in day, any time after 5:00 p.m.! In addition, when checking out, you may head straight home (skipping our office).

Do you offer early check-in? 

We do offer early check-in for homes with 1-5 bedrooms, but we do have a limited number available each week. Please call us and request an early check-in at least one week in advance. The cost for early check-in is $125, plus tax. Early check-in is at 2:00 p.m. Unfortunately, we cannot offer this service on homes with 6 or more bedrooms.  

What are your check-out cleaning requirements?

Check-out is at 9:00 a.m. on the day of departure. Cleaning crews arrive at the home at 9:00 a.m.; your prompt departure is appreciated. 

All keys are to be returned to our office upon departure. (Keyless entry guests do not have to stop by the office to check out).

Please leave the home tidy by completing the following items:

  • Remove only the fitted/flat sheets from all beds and leave them piled at the foot of the bed
  • Clean out the refrigerator and leave the refrigerator/freezer settings on medium
  • Place all trash in the cans provided or in a nearby dumpster. Move trash cans/recycle bins to the edge of the street the night before you leave. Make sure all trash is placed INSIDE of the cans, or the trash will not be picked up (Pick-up is done prior to dawn.)
  • Please wash and put away all dishes or place them in the dishwasher and begin the cleaning cycle
  • Turn the thermostats to 75 degrees (summer) and 55 degrees (winter)
  • Please turn off all inside and outside lights
  • Leave grills, furniture, and accessories as you found them
  • Remove toys/trash from the pool area
  • Make sure the hot tub cover is secure

Can you drive on the beach in the Outer Banks? 

Beach driving is allowed on several places in the Outer Banks but permissions vary by town. Driving is allowed year-round in Corolla/4x4 Carova Beach Area north of the paved road but only allowed south of that point between October 1 and April 30 and parking permits are required in-season. Driving is allowed on the Cape Hatteras National Seashore at designated access ramps and with a permit only. Driving in Kill Devil Hills and Nags Head is permitted with a permit between October 1 and April 30 at designated access points. All 4x4 access areas are subject to change due to nesting wildlife or impending weather conditions at each town's discretion.

Which Outer Banks beaches allow bonfires?

Gathering around a beach bonfire is the perfect way to spend your evening. On the Outer Banks, bonfires are allowed on the beach in Nags Head, on Hatteras island and on Ocracoke Island under certain conditions and with a permit. Bonfires are prohibited on the beaches of Corolla, Duck, Southern Shores, Kitty Hawk and Kill Devil Hills. Learn more about having bonfires on the OBX.

What are the Outer Banks wild horses?

The Outer Banks Wild Horses (also known as the Corolla Wild Mustangs or Banker Mustangs) are a herd of wild horses who live in Northern Corolla and are descendants of horses brought to the "New World" by Spanish explorers. Banker Mustangs can be spotted roaming the beach, playing in the waves, and grazing on native vegetation. These mustangs, although docile in nature and beautiful to watch from afar, are still wild and should never be approached, touched or fed. The herd is managed and protected by the Corolla Wild Horse Fund. Learn more about the OBX Wild Horses.

What is the trash collection schedule?

Please click here to find the days of the week that trash collections will take place for each town.

 

Bag all trash and place it in the home's outdoor trash receptacles with the lids tightly closed.

 

Sanitation Cart Placement: To ensure that your trash and recycling cans are emptied, they must be placed out at the edge of the roadway the day before the scheduled collection service. Trash must be inside cans and the lid must be closed. The following cannot be placed into trash cans and will not be picked up: Oil, propane, paint, charcoal, yard waste, construction debris, or hazardous waste. Trash or recycling placed outside of or on top of the cans cannot be collected. Cans must be removed from the edge of the roadway and placed next to a building as soon as possible on the same day of collection. (Please put trash in the black and brown trash cans.)

What is Beach Nourishment?

Beach nourishment is the process of pumping sand onto an eroding shoreline to widen the existing beach. Sources of sand may include a nearby sandbar, a dredged source (such as an inlet or waterway), or an offshore borrow site along the ocean floor. The widened shoreline provides increased defense from coastal storms and beach erosion, protecting property, communities, and infrastructure that are located along the coast.

 

While the Outer Banks coastline is beautiful, it is also very fragile. Storms, high winds and tidal changes all contribute to beach erosion. To restore and preserve our fragile coastline, Dare County and the towns of Duck, Kitty Hawk, Southern Shores, Kill Devil Hills and Nags Head have implemented important beach nourishment projects important that are critical to the future of our communities.

 

We apologize in advance for any inconvenience this causes and are confident you understand the importance and necessity of this project so you can continue to return and enjoy the Outer Banks beaches for many years to come. We hope you will choose to make the best of your vacation should you find your stay impacted by the beach nourishment project.

Are There Cameras or Security Devices at my Property?

Some homeowners may have security devices, like cameras outside the home or noise monitoring devices inside, to help protect the property from things like crime, over-occupancy, or damage. By signing the rental agreement, you’re acknowledging that these security measures might be in place to keep the property safe from theft, unauthorized access, or damage.

 

We ask that guests don’t tamper with, unplug, or cover any of these devices. If any security device is taken offline, a $250 fine may be applied.

 

We value your privacy and want to ensure that your stay is both safe and comfortable. If you have any questions regarding security features at your rental home, feel free to reach out to our team.
