(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 awesome food & drinks can be adored while you chat with friends and family. We have a entirely 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. :). 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.

Tips to get the optimal vacation rental experience:

Get the best rental home value:

• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. Book your Currituck rental in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Booking websites frequently offer guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guides have money saving offers on local accommodations and attractions.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Start by having your family choose vacation dates and a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your group requires. Ocean View, Well Appointed Home. Pet & hot tub fees included in price! has 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts is regularly available on booking websites. If not, contact the property manager before you reserve the vacation home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you must book a pet-friendly vacation rental. Get information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Note that some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Visiting for a single attraction? If so, use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental

More tips for your stay:

• Take a copy of the host's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home. We recommend storing the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you're away. Keep your property safe!
• To make sure no damages are attributed to your family's visit, make note of any problem areas upon your arrival. text the host right away to record any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are a fantastic source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Double-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed everything at check-out. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take photos and video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave a review! Hosts rely on good ratings to stimulate new bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your review find their best vacation rental. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
