Get ready to have A Whale Of A Time when you stay at this oceanside beach home in Corolla's sought-after Whalehead community. Your family will have both a private pool and hot tub all to yourselves for around-the-clock outdoor fun and relaxation. The thoughtfully landscaped backyard is covered in a lush, barefoot-friendly lawn ideal for croquet, cornhole and other yard games. A flagstone patio is equipped with a gas grille for cookouts and adirondack chairs surrounding a fire pit for gathering in the evenings. Finest of all, getting to the beach will be fast and simple using the close by path to the Sturgeon Street beach access, just a five-min. walk from the home. Use the beach cart to effortlessly transport all of your toys, snacks and gear for a full day of sun, sand and surf.

When you come home from the beach, relax in the comfortably furnished living area featuring an open-concept layout, wood floor and vaulted ceilings. It leads out to an east-facing sun deck where you can savor a horizon view of the ocean and a exhilarating coastal breeze. When you're not dining out, prepare meals in the well-outfitted kitchen and serve at the dining table for eight or al fresco on the screened porch. The top-level primary bedroom also provides deck access as well as an ensuite bath for plenty of privacy. Three additional bedrooms on the mid-level (including a second ensuite) will comfortably accommodate family and friends, and the den can be used as a second living area or kid's hangout space.

Located on the north end of the Whalehead Beach community, A Whale Of A Time is just a mile from historic Corolla Village. Explore unique shopping and dining options plus famed Corolla attractions including the Whalehead Club, Currituck Beach Lighthouse and the Outer Banks Center for Wildlife Education. Walkers, joggers and bikers will appreciate the multi-use path that runs through town.

Tips and Tricks to get the very best rental experience:

Finding your perfect rental home:

  • Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
  • June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Currituck area. To find the best value, consider changing your group's trip dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer great weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic.
  • Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your family before you book.
  • Property management companies typically offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
  • Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Currituck area visitors guides which often include special deals, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Currituck visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Choosing the best vacation rental in the Currituck area:

  • Select a group lead, choose your dates, and select a max budget.
  • Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. A Whale Of A Time: Private Pool
  • Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is commonly accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, reach out to the host before you book the vacation property. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches. You will need to establish which bed configuration is optimal for your group.
  • If your group is bringing pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly property. Make sure to ask for details on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
  • Are you looking for special amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
  • Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental.

More considerations for your visit:

  • Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Save the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
  • Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent quite a few difficulties.
  • Lock your rental home while you're away. Protect your property!
  • Upon check-in, note any damages to the property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
  • Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers bothering your peaceful neighborhood. Use the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would've not otherwise known about!
  • Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
  • Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all of your things. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from 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.
  • Leave feedback! Hosts rely on good feedback to drive new reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will will be grateful for your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. 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 expeditiously to fix it.
