What Would Jimmy Buffett Do?
Leave your watch and cell phone behind because It's 5 O'Clock Somewhere! This oceanside Corolla beach home, located in the desired Ocean Sands community, will instantly put you in a state of relaxation thanks to all the amenities and coastal decorations. 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 humongous 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. Inside, you can play a round of billiards in the rec room while you watch the big game or listen to music. When it's time to go to sleep, a comfortable Queen Bedroom shares a Full-Sized Hall Bathroom with another bedroom that has 2 Bunk Bed sets.

A split staircase leads up to the front porch on the middle level where you can access the main entrance to the home. For a more laid-back ambiance, chill out in the gorgeous den featuring an entertainment center and a wet bar that lets you really vacation “Margaritaville”-style. You'll appreciate taking your drink out on the covered deck that overlooks the pool to relax in a colorful Adirondack chair. At the end of the day, curl up with your favorite beach novel in the Master King Suite w/ Full Bathroom. 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. A convenient laundry room completes this level.

Upstairs, the top level is a enormous open-style floorplan featuring a living area, kitchen, and dining area. Parlor on the cozy living room furnishings for a movie marathon or grab one of the many board games and puzzles for a family game nighttime around the card table. The nautical-themed kitchen has plenty of counter space and comes supplied with anything you might need to make a tasty family dinner. There is room for 10 at the dining room table or for more space, 4 people can sit at the kitchen bar. A pretty Master King Suite is located on this level and features a Full Bathroom with a Whirlpool tub and separate shower. Whether you prefer to flip through a magazine in the sun, watch the charming colors of the sky during the sunrise or gaze at the stars at nighttime, the top-level sundeck will be your favorite spot to hang out and let your stresses flow away with the ocean breeze.

Better Than Margaritaville
Corolla is the ideal hideaway… this modest beach town accepts you to get away from the hustle and bustle of a big city but the local attractions and great eateries offer plenty to do for the whole family. Conveniently located less than 5 miles away from Historic Corolla, your family will adore touring the Whalehead Club and visiting the Currituck Beach Lighthouse. 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. If you're craving seafood, try Upside Restaurant & Bar for spiced shrimp, crab cakes, fresh local tuna, and a water view. Stop over-thinking and book your vacation now – after all… It's 5 O'clock Somewhere!

Getting the best Corolla vacation home experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• To get the best value, change your vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer great temperatures, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic.
• The sooner you can book, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are reserved early. Reserving your vacation home 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your vacation home.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a special rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Find a copy of your local Currituck visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guide magazines contain deals for nearby accommodations and attractions.

Narrow your Search:

• Select your vacation week and maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your family requires. 1600 5 O'Clock Somewhere *10 Min Walk to Beach* has 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is regularly available online. If not, email the property management company before you reserve your rental. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches. You will need to establish what is optimal for your group.
• If there's an individual Currituck destination you are enamored with, search for homes that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to book a rental that allows animals. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some hosts charge additional pet fees.

Additional considerations:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Save the instructions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• Upon arrival, make note of any damages to the property and immediately alert the host. Record all coorespondence.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respect your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often help. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Keep your rental home locked while you're gone! Don't let crooks ruin your trip.
• Double-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed all personal items at check-out. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a fantastic stay? Many rental managers make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
