Animal House is a elegant waterfront getaway boasting an unbeatable location in the sought-after Corolla Light community. With resort amenities just a short walk away and a complimentary trolley service to the beach, you can park your car in the driveway and leave it there your entire stay if you choose. Along with an magnificant view of the Currituck Sound, Animal House provides direct access to the water for launching kayaks and paddleboards. 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-supplied kitchen with stainless steel appliances. A double oven, two sinks and two dishwashers make cooking and clean up for enormous 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.
As guests of Corolla Light, your family will have access to a variety of world-class resort amenities - there's really something for everybody! A trolley stop is located just two tons from the home and will shuttle you to the Oceanfront Complex for a full day of fun in the sun. Along with direct access to the beach, you'll find three outdoor pools, a snack bar, shuffleboard, volleyball, basketball and a playground. Back on the west side of the resort, Animal House is only 200 feet away from the soundfront community pool as well as the Corolla Light Sports Center. This impressive 36,000 sq. ft. facility includes an indoor pool, indoor and outdoor tennis courts, a exercise center with showers and a sauna, racquetball, walleyball, ping pong, and weekly classes/activities.

Strategies to get the optimal rental home experience:
Find your perfect rental home:
- Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
- To get the largest vacation home within budget, we strongly suggest reserving in Fall or Spring months. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite Currituck restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or 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 near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
- Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
- Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
- Often, property management companies supply Currituck area visitor guide magazines which will include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Currituck area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.
Planning, selecting, and booking yourrental home:
- Select vacation dates and maximum budget.
- Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Animal House: Soundfront, Hot Tub, Dog-Friendly has 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms.
- Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is usually accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email or call the host before you book the property. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
- Do your family pets travel with you? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional pet fees or may be applied to your contract.
- Visiting for a single attraction? If so, use a map search to find nearby properties.
- Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental
During your stay:
- Add the owner's contact info to your phone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
- Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
- Lock your rental while you are out and about. Protect your property!
- Make a record of any issues with the property at check in, and immediately send them to the host. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are helpful if there is a dispute.
- Be a good neighbor. Frequently, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
- Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
- Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected all personal items. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
- Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
- Remember to leave feedback! Property managers rely on excellent feedback to propel future reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will will be grateful for your experience find their best vacation rental. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
