(SEE OUR TWO VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE THAT SHOW THE HOME LAYOUT! SEARCH FOR: Tour of "the piper's nest" part one and Tour of "the piper's nest" part two... posted by Tracy Blowers.)

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 savor, the sight, sounds and smell of the ocean! A fast change into swimsuits and you can appreciate 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 sizable snack bar, where astounding food & drinks can be appreciated while you chat with friends and family. We have a completely outfitted 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. :). Appreciate 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 conveniently 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.

How to find the best Currituck rental experience:

Money saving strategies:

• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer time is high season in Corolla. To find the best rental home for your budget, we strongly suggest reserving in Fall or Spring months. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at Currituck restaurants, tours, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Currituck vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Some property management companies offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Property managers typically offer customers an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Look for your local Currituck area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, visitors guide magazines contain money saving offers on nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

How to select the best vacation home:

• Select a group lead, select your vacation week, and choose a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration you need. Ocean View, Well Appointed Home. Cleaning, pet & hot tub fees included in price! has 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually accessible on booking websites. If not, email the property management company before you reserve the rental. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches. You'll need to determine what bed configuration is suitable for your vacation family.
• If your group is traveling with pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Ask for details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Visiting for a specific event or attraction? Try a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental.

Considerations for your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the directions to your phone, and take a printed copy.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents a lot of problems.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• At Check-in, note any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the host. Record all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors bothering your peace and quiet. Employ 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! Neighbors can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed everything on check-out day. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a excellent vacation? Most rental management companies make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
