Happy Ours features a long driveway with ample parking for you and your family group. Take a swim in the huge private pool or shoot some hoops in the basketball goal before calming in the bubbly hot tub after a day of fun. Freshen up after a long day at the beach under the outdoor shower and don't forget to appreciate a drink at the all-new poolside tiki bar before heading inside to play foosball in the game room. Impress the family with your grilling skills as you fire up the day's catch on the gas grille.

On the main level, rest up for beach-day fun in one of three Queen Bedrooms, all of which have TVs, where you can relax before dozing off for the nighttime. With two sets of bunk beds rounding out the fourth bedroom on this level, Happy Ours provides a calming space for the kids to relax before hanging out with the family on the deck, which can be accessed from the bunk room as well as from two of the Queen Bedrooms.

Upstairs, on the top level, enjoy a cavernous living area with high ceilings and plenty of windows that will allow you to soak in all of that natural beach lighting. Cook up a delicious meal in the roomy, well-supplied kitchen to eat at the bar, which seats 4, or the raised dining area, which can accommodate 8 at the enormous dining table and 4 at the table near the window. If eating outdoors is more your style, take your drink or meal out onto the screened porch where you can enjoy the brilliant Outer Banks weather at the wooden bar. Catch some z's in the spacious King Master Bedroom before taking a break on the furnished sun deck. Your stay at Happy Ours will rejuvenate and refresh you while giving you the best that the Outer Banks has to offer!

How to get the best rental experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• Summer is high season in Corolla. To get the most suitable rental home for your budget, we highly recommend booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at Currituck restaurants, beaches, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Currituck vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Property managers typically offer customers an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Currituck area visitor guide magazines which will include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Currituck area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Narrow your rental Search:

• First and foremost, have your family commit to a vacation week and a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your group needs. 1359 Happy Ours * 3 Min Walk to Beach has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, contact the property owner before booking the rental. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches. You will need to work out what is right for your vacation.
• Visiting for a specific event? If so, use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental
• Traveling with pets? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Extra fees or could be applied to your invoice.

Considerations for your stay:

• Be sure you get the owner's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home.
• To make certain damages aren't linked to your family's stay, inspect for any problem areas during arrival. Contact the property manager right away to record any damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or kitchen appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents a lot of concerns.
• Be respectful. Often, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your vacation home while you are out. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• On check-out day, take a final walk-through to make sure you haven't forget any personal items. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Leave feedback! Property owners rely on excellent ratings to compel new bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will appreciate that you share your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
