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 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. 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 appealing den featuring an entertainment center and a wet bar that lets you really vacation “Margaritaville”-style. You'll adore 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 sizable 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 striking 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 handsome 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 appreciate 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.

Our top Vacation rental booking tips and tricks:

Sticking to your budget:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Corolla. Reserve your rental in Fall or Spring to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property management companies offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Property management companies typically offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Currituck area travel guides which will include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Currituck area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Start by selecting your a vacation week and a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. 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.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always accessible online. Otherwise, email or call the property management company before you reserve the home. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds.
• Is your group looking for special amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the best rental home.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental
• Are you bringing the family pet? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional pet fees or costs might be applied to your agreement.

More considerations for your visit:

• Be sure you get the owner's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental. Store the host's information in your smartphone.
• Note any issues with the property during check in, and immediately contact the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are useful if damages are assessed.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are a great source for finding the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Keep your rental home locked while you are out! Don't let burglars ruin your holiday.
• At departure, take a walk-through to confirm you haven't forget anything. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property managers rely on excellent reviews to propel future reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your experience find their best vacation home. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
