  • Private vacation home

Savor breathtaking vistas from this home’s unique “tower” sitting room, roof top deck or many other decks. With plenty of space for your group to spread out, a short walk to the beach, and your own pool and hot tub, Franklin’s Tower is the ideal center of gravity for your OBX hideaway. Just a short way off NC12 in the southern part of Corolla, Franklin’s Tower is painless to reach. With an broad corner lot, there is tons of space on the exterior of the property. The huge driveway and two carports provide more than ample parking for your group’s cars. A basketball goal is ready for a friendly game of pickup or for someone to hone their complimentary throw skills.

The open floor plan of the upper level is welcome and inviting with natural light flooding in from the many windows. It is anchored by a great room area, with plenty of seating in front of the fireplace and sizable screen HDTV and other entertainment components. A separate four-seat table in this area is ideal for whatever card or board games you appreciate playing. From here, step up into the focal point of this space, the octagonal “tower” sitting room. As if being in your own world, ease into the comfortable chairs to scan the neighborhood, read a book, or partake in that indulgent afternoon nap. A ideal place to relax at any time of day, this space makes Franklin’s Tower really unique.

Step outside and you will see uniqueness goes beyond the tower. The arc-shaped pool is the center of attention of the fenced-in back yard. There are plenty of lounge chairs to let you bask in the sun, and a hot tub awaits you for that long calming soak. Outside in the yard, a park-style Bar-B-Que grille is ready for your grille masters and horseshoes await you for some healthy competition amongst your group. Adjoining the property is a formally constructed walkway that gets you to the beach with a short walk that is less than 200 yards.
This home is right off NC12 and offers close proximity to dining and shopping, including a Harris Teeter for any provisions you need. You are also just a short drive from the Currituck Lighthouse, Maritime Museum, or the Currituck Banks Nature Preserve.

Tricks and tips to get the optimal rental experience:

Getting the most from your spending budget:

  • The earlier your group can book, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved early. Reserving your vacation home 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation rental.
  • June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. To book the best rental home within your budget, we strongly suggest booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular Currituck attractions. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter 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 loved ones at the beach.
  • Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
  • Booking websites typically offer guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
  • Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Currituck area visitor guide magazines which will include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a partnership 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.

How to choose the best rental home:

  • Choose your dates and maximum budget.
  • Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. C0949, Near the Beach! Saltwater Pool, Hot Tub, Great Neighborhood has 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Currituck vacation rental search.
  • Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always available online. If not, contact the property owner before booking the property. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms.
  • Some properties allow pets, but some do not. Acceptable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the host about pets before booking.
  • If there's an individual Currituck destination you simply love, search for homes that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
  • Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

More considerations for your visit:

  • Take a copy of the host's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your . We recommend storing the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
  • Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents quite a few problems.
  • Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are gone, just like you would at home.
  • To make certain that damages aren't attributed to your family's stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas during check in. Call the host right away to report your findings. If there is a dispute, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
  • Be respectful. Often times, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
  • Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
  • Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the property to confirm you've collected all personal items. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
  • Please make sure to walk through the property one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take photos and video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
  • After your trip, leave a review! Property owners rely on excellent ratings to propel new bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your feedback find their best vacation rental. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
