  • Private vacation home

Savor spectacular 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 simple to reach. With an broad corner lot, there is tons of space on the exterior of the property. The sizable 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 huge 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.

Strategies to get the best Currituck rental home experience:

Get the most from your rental budget:

  • Booking a rental in the Fall or Spring is an excellent way to save money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Currituck vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
  • Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
  • Hosts sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if discounts are available for your family before you book.
  • Booking websites typically offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs 1% - 5% of the reservation 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 hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
  • Often, management companies supply Currituck area visitor guide magazines that include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the property 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.

Selecting the best rental in the Currituck area:

  • Select a group leader, select your trip dates, and select a maximum budget.
  • Note the number bedrooms and the bed 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 rental home search.
  • Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly accessible online. If you don't see them listed, call the property management company before booking the rental. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds.
  • Visiting for a single event? Use a map search to browse nearby properties.
  • Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. .
  • If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly property. Make sure to ask for details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some hosts charge additional pet fees.

Tips for a smooth stay:

  • Take a copy of the host's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home. Put the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
  • Note any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are beneficial if there is a dispute.
  • Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
  • Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers disrupting your peaceful neighborhood. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and places you would have never otherwise known!
  • Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can often help. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
  • Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the property when you are gone, just like you would back home.
  • Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all belongings. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
  • Record a video to document the condition of the property.
  • Did your family have a great time? Most rental managers make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
