Unwind and Unwind!
Semper Summer is the ideal dog-friendly coastal bungalow for the beach lover who is looking for a little tranquility and relaxation! Located in Corolla's Ocean Sands Community (Section O), this roomy rental features everything you need to appreciate the ideal vacation. Appreciate a charmingly refreshed landscaping, a modern interior, a plethora of amenities, and plenty of deck space for soaking in that ocean breeze! Your family can spend their days splashing in the community pool, soaking in the bubbly hot tub, playing a friendly match at the community tennis court, or reeling in a catch from the close by fishing lake. When you're ready to hit the sand, the nearest beach access is just a short 3-min. walk (0.1 miles) away.

When you get back from the beach, conveniently rinse off the sand in the huge outdoor shower. The 7-acre community fishing lake is just a 1-min. walk away and provides a peaceful spot for a handsome 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 the charcoal grille for dinner! Be sure to let your four-legged family members run around outside in the fenced-in backyard for an impressive vacation of their own. Step inside to the game room where you can play a round of pool on the pool table. There's also a couch, TV and a wet bar with a mini-refrigerator located on the ground level. For a little additional privacy, relax in the King Master Bedroom with a TV and additional Sitting Area, so there's always room for everybody to spread out and get comfortable!

Head upstairs to the mid-level and you will find three of the home's four bedrooms including a king master bedroom with its own private bathroom, a bedroom with a queen bed, and a final bedroom with 2 twin bunk beds. A full bathroom is located down the hallway and is shared by the queen and bunk bedrooms. All three bedrooms have sliders that allow access to the covered furnished decks, which are the ideal place for reading a book when you want to stay in the shade. Also located on the mid-level covered decks is the bubbly hot tub, where you'll want to relax at the end of each day.

The top-level is where you'll appreciate gathering together in the bright and airy living area with all-new LVP floor, cathedral ceilings, and plenty of cozy furnishings centered around a enormous flat screen TV for catching up on your favorite show or watching a good movie. On nights you prefer to prepare at home, you'll adore the cavernous kitchen that comes entirely outfitted with everything you need including a flat top stove, constructed-in microwave, dishwasher, and side-by-side refrigerator. The adjoining dining area has plenty of seating, but if you need additional space, there are 4 bar chairs located at the kitchen island. If you're in the mood to dine al fresco, step through the sliding doors from the dining area into the screened porch, and savor the ocean breeze at the picnic table under the twinkling cafe lights strung above. The spacious top-level sun deck is ideal for working on your tan or gazing out at the sunset on a warm summer evening. If you want to partake in a family-friendly card game, head back inside and up a few steps to the captain's watch with a modest table and spectacular Corolla vistas. Rest simple in the final king master bedroom with a private bathroom. A convenient half bath is located on the landing between the mid and top levels.

Tricks and tips to get the perfect rental experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Reserving a rental home in Fall or Spring is our best tip for saving money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Currituck vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• In the Currituck area, The earlier you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental homes are booked early. Reserving your vacation property up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
• Booking websites typically offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Look for 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 information, visitor guide magazines have money saving offers on nearby accommodations and attractions.

Planning and choosing your Currituck rental home:

• Begin by selecting your trip dates and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. 1671 Semper Summer * 3 Min Walk to Beach has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is normally accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, reach out to the host before booking the home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to work out what is right for your vacation group.
• Are you looking for specific amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking.
• Some rentals allow pets, and others don't. Allowable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the property management company about your furry family members before booking.

More tips for your stay:

• Get the property manager's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental. Store the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Upon arrival, make note of any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the property manager. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are an incredible resource to find the best local beaches.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are out, just like you would at home.
• When it's time to leave, take a walk-through to confirm you haven't forget any personal items. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean 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.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property owners rely on great feedback to inspire new reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your feedback find their best rental home. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
