Nags Head beach house rentals are perfect for families or large parties that want to have a private vacation residence just for themselves. Like other Outer Banks island accommodations, Nags Head beach house rentals offer a comfortable and convenient home-base for an island adventure. Also, since the town is the oldest resort community in the Outer Banks, Nags Head beach house rentals are often steeped in history and tradition.

The area around Nags Head is a contradiction in term of landscape and climate. During the summer months, the air is thick and hot and the ocean can become a tempest during a storm. Unfortunately, a hazard of the Outer Banks is the exposure to hurricanes that often plow up the coast from the Atlantic.

The winters are often cold and windy as nor'easters blow from the west across the islands. In fact, a particularly powerful nor'easter over the winter of 1998-99 blew so hard for so long that river beds flowing into the sound were actually completely exposed! Many treasure hunters combed the area and found hundreds of ancient artifacts such as arrowheads and pottery shards.

Surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the waters of the sound to the west, the Outer Banks is a region at the mercy of the sea. Though this makes the islands vulnerable to the powerful ocean, it also makes the islands a prime viewing area for nature lovers. Breaching humpback whales, rare birds, and harbor seals are just a few of the fascinating animals that call the Outer Banks their home.
