Unwind and Unwind!
Drift-Woods is the ideal coastal bungalow for the beach lover who is looking for a little tranquility and relaxation! Located in Corolla's Ocean Sands Community (Section K), this cavernous rental features everything you need to appreciate the ideal vacation. Appreciate a modern interior, a plethora of amenities and plenty of deck space for soaking in that ocean breeze! When you're ready to hit the sand, the nearest access is just a short 9-min. walk (0.4 miles) away. A convenient beach cart is supplied for hauling all your toys and gear. Don't have any? No worries! Drift Woods' outdoor beach closet comes equipped with kids' beach toys, chairs, umbrellas, and a body board!

When you get back from the beach, comfortably rinse off the sand in your outdoor shower. The community's 7-acre fishing lake is just a 3-min. walk away and provides a peaceful spot for a gorgeous evening walk. If you reel in the big one, you'll appreciate being able to use the fish cleaning station outside before you throw your catch-of-the-day on your gas grille for dinner! Swim a few laps and splash around in the sizable 12'x27' Private Pool* before coming inside to the Game Room where you can watch a DVD or play a round of Foosball. The Laundry Room and a convenient Full-sized Bathroom are also located on the Ground Level, so comfort is never too far away.

You'll find the main entrance on the Middle Level. The covered front deck is the ideal place for reading a book when you want to stay in the shade and the close by bubbly Hot Tub (open for select dates only) is where you'll want to relax at the end of each day. Three of the home's four bedrooms are found on this level including a Queen Bedroom with a intelligent TV, a Bedroom with a Pyramid Bunk Bed (twin bed over a double bed), and a final bedroom with 2 Twin Beds. The bedrooms share a Full Bathroom with a tub/shower combo that is accessible from the hall and Queen room.

Upstairs, you'll appreciate gathering together in the bright and airy Living Area with cathedral ceilings, plenty of coastal décor, comfortable furnishings, and a 55" SMART Roku TV w/ DVD Player for catching up on your favorite show or watching a good movie. On nights you prefer to prepare at home, you'll adore the modern U-shape Kitchen that comes completely supplied with everything you need including a flat top stove, constructed-in microwave, new dishwasher, and top-freezer refrigerator. The adjoining dining area has plenty of seating around a long oval table which doubles as the ideal surface for pulling out your favorite board game during family game nighttime! Rest simple in the final Queen Bedroom with a 43" SMART Roku TV and access to a full hall bath. Sip your coffee and watch the sunrise every morning from the Screened Porch, even if it's drizzling outside. The roomy Top-Level Sun Deck is ideal for working on your tan or gazing out at the sunset on a warm summer evening.

Discover Corolla!
Located on the very northern end of the Outer Banks, Corolla is a handsome vacation destination with plenty of shopping options, outdoor activities, and striking eateries. Perhaps best known for a herd of wild horses that reside there, visitors appreciate the impressive, pristine beaches ideal for swimming, fishing, building sandcastles, and spotting a Corolla wild mustang galloping through the waves—if you're lucky! For the history lovers, be sure to stop by Whalehead Club in Historic Corolla for a tour of a 1920's Art Nouveau-style building that originally served as a opulent hunting club. Visitors can also climb to the top of the Currituck Beach Lighthouse for a full 360-degree view of the coast. Just down the road, you'll find the Timbuck II Shopping Village with fun, local stores, and eateries that border the Currituck Sound. When you're done shopping, savor a delicious dinner with fresh seafood right off the boat from Mike Dianna's Grille Room or North Banks Restaurant & Raw Bar. For dessert, be sure to stop by Big Buck's Homemade Ice Cream! No matter what awe-inspiring activities you try in Corolla, we know you'll want to return to Drift-Woods year after year!

Corolla vacation rental tips and tricks:

Finding your perfect rental home:

• Summer months are high season in the Currituck area. To get the largest vacation home within budget, we highly recommend booking in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular attractions. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Currituck vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your family qualifies for a price reduction.
• Booking websites often offer renters an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Currituck visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guides have discounts for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Selecting the best rental home in the Currituck area:

• Choose a designated group leader, choose your dates, and select a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. 1625 Drift-Woods *9 Min Walk to Beach has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property owner before you reserve your rental. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Is your group looking for special amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental
• Traveling with pets? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional pet fees or charges applied to your contract.

More tips for your stay:

• Add the host's phone number to your phone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Upon arrival, make note of any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a great resource to find the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your rental while you're away. Keep your property safe!
• Re-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all belongings on check-out day. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the property one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever possible. If the manager is not available, take photos and video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a fantastic stay? Most rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
