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. Savor a elegantly 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, effortlessly rinse off the sand in the sizable outdoor shower. The 7-acre community fishing lake is just a 1-min. walk away and provides a peaceful spot for a pretty 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 adore 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 appreciate the cavernous kitchen that comes completely 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.

Discover Corolla!

Strategies to get the perfect Currituck vacation rental experience:

When to go & When to book:

• The earlier your group can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best rental properties are booked very early. Booking your vacation rental six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental property.
• Summer is high season in the Currituck area. Booking a rental in the Spring or Fall is a good way to save money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable homes.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family.
• Booking websites typically offer renters an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Currituck area travel guides which will include special offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Currituck visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Filter your rental search:

• Begin by selecting your vacation dates and a budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. 1671 Semper Summer * 3 Min Walk to Beach has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is generally available on booking pages. Otherwise, email the host before reserving your home. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, filter your search for a rental that allows animals. Request information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Often, property owners charge additional pet fees.
• If there's a certain Currituck beach you love, keep an eye out for homes that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.

Know before you go:

• Get the property manager's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental. Store the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent lots of issues.
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are out, just like you would at home.
• Make a record of any damages to the property during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are beneficial if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors bothering your peaceful home life. Use the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and attractions you would've never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• When it's time to leave, take a walk-through to confirm you haven't forget any personal items. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. 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.
• Remember to leave feedback! Hosts rely on excellent feedback to stimulate more reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will be thankful you shared your experience find their best rental home. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
