Charming cottage 2 blocks from the beach \n - Vacation rental home in Corolla, NC

About this Property

• Sleeps 8
• 4 Bedrooms
• 4 Bathrooms
• Private vacation home
• Approximately 1750 square feet

This vacation home has been elegantly refreshed with the idea that a rental can feel unique and personal rather than generic and impersonal. Located in the beach community of Whalehead in Corolla, this fresh home features two en suite master bedrooms and two bedrooms having two twin beds each and a shared bathroom -- ideal for one or two families, a girls’ weekend, or a couple wanting a comfortable home that's neither too big nor too modest.

For the hot summer months, the private pool is invigorating, and the covered pergola poolside will allow for hours spent reading, napping or socializing without getting sunburned. And the fun can continue into the evening with the grille fired up and the lights on! There is a double swing on the mid-level deck, also a nice spot to savor by yourself or with a companion.

The home comes with beach umbrellas and chairs, as well as a decent collection of body boards and sandcastle building "equipment" for the kids. There’s also a cart to carry all this, making the short walk to the beach even easier. It’s only a three min. walk down a nice paved boardwalk to the beach. For those familiar with Whalehead, this is the Barracuda Walkway.

The home also offers some privacy, as it is surrounded by stands of pines, making it feel like it’s tucked in its own little cocoon.

As the owner/reservation agent/concierge whose been visiting here for over twenty-five years, I'm happy to help my guests with their vacation planning. I care that all guests thoroughly appreciate their time spent in my home and this marvelous beach area.

Please note that my home is only available for rent on Vacation Rental By Owner/HomeAway. It is not available on a third-event site or Craigslist. When making inquiries or bookings, you would only speak with me (the owner); I am always happy to talk and answer any questions you may have.

Tips to get the optimal rental home experience:

Get the most from your rental budget:

• To get the best rental for your budget, we highly recommend reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at Currituck restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months.
• In the Currituck area, The sooner you can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation home up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• Some owners offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guide magazines have money saving offers on local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to determine what is right for your vacation family.
