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 cavernous rental features everything you need to savor the ideal vacation. Savor 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, comfortably 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 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 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 comfortable 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 roomy kitchen that comes entirely supplied 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 appreciate 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 painless 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.

Beach Access: Tide Arch or Wave Arch - 0.1 miles/3-min. walk

Discover Corolla!
Located on the northern end of the Outer Banks, Corolla is a handsome vacation destination with plenty of shopping options, outdoor activities, and superb eateries. Perhaps best known for a herd of wild horses that reside there, visitors appreciate the elegant, 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, enjoy 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 incredible activities you try in Corolla, we know you'll want to return to Semper Summer year after year!

Strategies for getting the perfect Currituck rental experience:

When to go & When to book:

• Summer time is high season in Corolla. To get the best value, try shifting your group's vacation dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer great weather, , and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Currituck vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some owners offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers usually offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Many property management companies supply Currituck area visitor guides which include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Currituck area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to select the perfect rental home:

• Begin by selecting trip dates and a maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. 1671 Semper Summer * 3 Min Walk to Beach has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is generally accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, email the host before you book the vacation property. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to establish what is optimal for your family.
• Does your group require particular amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the perfect rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Some rentals allow pets, and some do not. Acceptable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the owner about pets before booking.

Know before you go:

• Add the host's contact information to your smartphone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• To make sure that damages are not linked to your visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas upon your arrival. Speak to the rental manager right away to report any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers disrupting your quiet neighborhood. Practice the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and places you would've never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your rental property while you are away! Don't let crooks spoil your vacation.
• Just prior to departing, take a walk-through to make sure you have not forget any personal items. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a great time? Most rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
