At just half a mile from the ocean, the nearest access is just an 8-min. walk away when you're ready to hit the beach. If your family doesn't want to haul all that beach gear and prefers to drive, you'll be just 5 mins. away from the Bonito St. Public Beach Access with a parking lot.

The ground level has plenty of parking space for the whole family and room for 1 car to park under the home. Outside, a giant 12'x26' private pool is where you'll spend the day splashing around in the sun. Afterward, take a dip in the bubbly hot tub to relax your muscles.

You'll adore taking your drink out on the covered deck that overlooks the pool to relax in a colorful Adirondack chair.

Another Full Hall Bathroom featuring a Whirlpool tub and shower combo is shared by a second Bedroom with a Pyramid Bunk w/ Trundle Bed and another Queen Bedroom.

Better Than Margaritaville

For a real one-of-a-kind experience, take a tour of the 4x4 beach area just north of your home to catch a glimpse of the Corolla Wild Horses. After touring the area, satisfy your hunger with some pork BBQ and ribs at Corolla Village Bar-B-Que or a French Dip and Club Sub at Bacchus Wine & Beer Bistro.

Tips for getting the best Currituck vacation property experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• In the Currituck area, The earlier you can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are reserved early. Reserving your vacation property up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• To find the best rental within budget, we strongly suggest booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at Currituck restaurants, beaches, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if discounts are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guides have offers and deals for nearby accommodations and attractions.

Make a plan and pick the best Currituck rental home:

• Start by selecting your vacation dates and a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. 1600 5 O'Clock Somewhere * Private Pool * Game Rm has 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is often available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property management company before reserving the rental. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to determine what configuration is best for your family.
• Some properties allow pets, and others do not. Acceptable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask your host about pets before booking.
• Visiting for a specific event? Try a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

More considerations for your visit:

• Add the host's phone number to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, television set or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call prevents many problems.
• Lock your rental home while you're away. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• To make certain no damages are attributed to your family's visit, inspect the property for any problem areas upon your arrival. text the property manager right away to relay any damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are a terrific resource to find the best local spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Just prior to departing, complete a final walk-through to confirm you haven't leave anything behind. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the property a final time and scan for damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a terrific vacation? Many rental management companies make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental and/or host was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
