Wake up every morning and drink your drink of choice while appreciating a glorious ocean view! Three of our five bedrooms offer an ocean view (moms and dads claim those!), while our entire, sunny, window filled Great Room offers the same spectacular option.

Step onto the wrap around deck to appreciate, the sight, sounds and smell of the ocean! A fast change into swimsuits and you can savor it all from the hot tub!

Our home is the ideal option - all of the benefits of "ocean view" without getting overwhelmed by the crowd and the traffic! How far away is the ocean? Less than five mins.. It's really close!

A big kitchen with a enormous snack bar, where astounding food & drinks can be adored while you chat with friends and family. We have a completely supplied kitchen, beach chairs, games, cards, books - whatever you need to relax, it's here. There is a washer and dryer at the home as well (not that you want to do laundry, but you can. :). Savor our nearly 3,000 square foot space to spread out at nighttime and connect during the day. Sun, Ocean, Great Food & Beverage of Choice = Relaxation!

NOTE: IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT YOU HAVE A 4WD VEHICLE so you can comfortably drive to our home. Our home is on Carova Beach, which is the ideal getaway - far enough away from the downtown OBX craziness without being too far away if you want to experience the crazy! Carova Beach is also a Wild Horse Preserve, so plan on seeing plenty of wild horses during your stay!

We have a three day minimum in the off season; minimum 7 day stay during the summer season.

It's a 7 mile drive down the beach - not a bad commute with a view like that! If you don't want to drive on the beach, there are other options to get you there (i.e. you can use a "park & ride" service to and from the home - there are costs associated with that. I can provide more info for you, if you'd like).

We will give you more information in our "Welcome" letter on tips & tricks for driving on the beach, as well as what we have at the home and what you may want to bring. And, please, reach out to us with any questions. We're here to make your stay just what you need it to be so you can relax and recharge.

Tricks and tips for getting the perfect Corolla vacation rental experience:

Sticking to a spending plan:

• Reserving a rental home in Spring or Fall is a great way to save on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Currituck vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• In the Currituck area, The sooner your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved very early. Booking your vacation rental 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental property.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Booking websites typically offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Currituck area travel guide magazines which often include special deals, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Currituck area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Planning and choosing the right Currituck vacation home:

• Select dates and maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration you need. Ocean View, Well Appointed Home. Cleaning, pet & hot tub fees included in price! has 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed types is generally available online. If not, email or call the property manager before you reserve the vacation property. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds.
• Is your group looking for specific amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly vacation rental. Ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

Tips for a wonderful stay:

• Add the property manager's phone number to your phone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• To ensure that damages are not attributed to your visit, note any problem areas when you arrive. Call the property manager immediately to document any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, elevator or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents many problems.
• Respect your neighbors. Often times, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Keep the property locked while you are away! Don't let burglars spoil your holiday.
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items at check-out. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental one final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, remember to take photos and video of the property to record its condition.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on good feedback to stimulate new bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your feedback 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 quickly to remedy it.
