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 handsomely remodeled 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 modren 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 exhilarating, 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 appreciate 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 savor their time spent in my home and this magnificent 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.

How to book the best Currituck vacation rental experience:

When to go & When to reserve a Corolla rental home:

• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer time is high season in the Currituck area. Booking a rental in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is our best tip for saving money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable homes. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August. 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 loved ones at the beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your group qualifies for a discount.
• Property managers often offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Currituck visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guides have deals for nearby tours and attractions.

• Choose a group leader, choose your vacation dates, and select a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Charming cottage 2 blocks from the beach \n has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is often available online. If they are not listed, email or call the property management company before you reserve the vacation property.

• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly rental. Ask for information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Be aware that some property owners charge additional pet fees.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction or event? Try a map search to find nearby properties.
