The community's soundside pier is right behind the home, ideal for fishing, crabbing or simply watching the beautiful sunsets.

A reverse floorplan, west-facing sun deck and windows galore make the most of the soundfront location. After a day at the beach or exploring the resort, come home and gather in the comfortably furnished, open-concept great room. It leads out to an broad waterfront deck with a bubbly hot tub. When you're not dining out, prepare meals in the well-outfitted kitchen with stainless steel appliances. A double oven, two sinks and two dishwashers make cooking and clean up for huge groups a breeze. The primary bedroom is also located on the top level, offering the same impressive view and convenient deck access as the great room. It includes a comfortable nook ideal for reading or catching up with work. A generously sized private bath features a double vanity, jetted tub and separate shower.

The mid-level consists of four more bedrooms (including two ensuites), three of which provide direct access to the soundfront covered deck. Downstairs, the entire ground floor is dedicated to indoor entertainment, where guests can watch a movie or the big game in the den or shoot pool on the billiard table. Use the kitchenette for convenient snacks and drinks, and the additional full-size refrigerator for storing additional groceries or the catch of the day. Animal House is equipped with an elevator, ideal for guests with mobility issues. Skip the stairs and use it to send suitcases to the upper floors. As the name might suggest, Animal House is dog-friendly so your fur babies can accompany you on the vacation of a lifetime.

Strategies to get the very best vacation home experience:

Sticking to your spending plan:

• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is the most expensive season in the Currituck area. To get the best value, try shifting your family's Currituck vacation dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer excellent weather, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Currituck area magazine upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local articles, visitor guide magazines have deals for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Finding the best vacation rental in Corolla:

• Select a group lead, choose your trip dates, and select a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Animal House: Soundfront, Hot Tub, Dog-Friendly has 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is almost always available on booking pages. Otherwise, email or call the property owner before you book the rental. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly rental. Get information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Usually, property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a specific Currituck destination you simply love, look for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking.

Advice for your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Add a note with the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are away, just like you would at home.
• To ensure that damages are not attributed to your stay, make a record of any problem areas when you arrive. Get in touch with the host immediately to document any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Frequently, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• On check-out day, take a walk-through to make sure you haven't leave anything behind. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean 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.
• Did your family have a wonderful vacation? Many rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
