Happy Ours features a long driveway with ample parking for you and your family group. Take a swim in the enormous 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 roomy 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 cavernous, well-outfitted kitchen to eat at the bar, which seats 4, or the raised dining area, which can accommodate 8 at the sizable 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!

Tricks and tips to get the perfect Corolla rental home experience:

Get the most from your vacation rental budget:

• The sooner your group can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked very early. Booking your vacation home six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in coastal NC. Booking your Currituck vacation rental in the Spring or Fall is our best tip for saving money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host whether your group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property managers typically offer their guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Often, management companies supply Currituck area visitors guide magazines that include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Currituck area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Select vacation week and budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. 1359 Happy Ours * 3 Min Walk to Beach has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, call the property manager before you reserve the vacation home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Traveling with pets? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Extra fees or charges might be applied to your contract.
• If there's an individual Currituck destination you crave, look for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Know before you go:

• Take a copy of the host's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home. Store the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call prevents a lot of concerns.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Make a record of any issues with the rental at check in, and immediately contact the host. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are beneficial if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome vacationers disrupting your peace and quiet. Use the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would've never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Re-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all belongings at departure. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did you have a wonderful vacation? Many rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental property and/or host was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
