Welcome to Cinco de Mayo, a one-of-a-kind Mediterranean style home in the Ocean Hill community of Corolla. The semi-oceanfront location offers amazing vistas and convenient access to the beach right across the street. Fabulous amenities including a private pool, grotto, hot tub and rec room are sure to please the entire family. Brimming with character and unexpected features you won't find in your average beach home, Cinco de Mayo is the ideal setting for an memorable vacation.

After a day of fun in the sun, come home and relax in the light-filled living area with soaring ceilings and a wall of ocean-facing windows. Spanish-style tile throughout the common areas is ideal for sandy feet and paws that have just returned from the beach. A well-equipped kitchen surrounds a center island with seating, accepting family and friends to gather in heart of the home and socialize during meal prep. After dinner, the festivities continue in the adjoining rec space with pool table, along with a bar for a pub-style experience without leaving the home. At the end of the nighttime, getaway to the cavernous primary bedroom, where you can soak away the day in the garden tub or savor some peaceful time on the private balcony. Five additional bedrooms (three of which are ensuites) along with two additional bunk rooms will comfortably accommodate everybody in your group. Cinco de Mayo is dog-friendly, so canine companions can be on the guest list too.

The Mediterranean theme continues outside with a private pool surrounded by an broad deck for calming in the sun with a margarita in hand. Serve poolside drinks and snacks from the bar inside the grotto. It leads to a secluded backyard space where you can take a relaxing soak in the bubbly hot tub.

Cinco de Mayo is just a mile north from historic Corolla Village. Explore unique shopping, dining and family-friendly activities at the Corolla Light Town Center. Set aside a day to experience famed attractions including the Whalehead Club, Currituck Beach Lighthouse and the Outer Banks Center for Wildlife Education.

Strategies to get the best vacation rental experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer time is high season in the Currituck area. To get the largest rental home for your budget, we strongly suggest reserving in the Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at local restaurants, tours, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Currituck vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Look for your local Currituck visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guides have money saving offers on local accommodations and attractions.

Selecting and booking the best Currituck vacation home:

• Select vacation week and budget.
• Pool and Hot Tub has 6 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is commonly available on booking websites. If they are not listed, call the property management company before booking the vacation property. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to establish what configuration is optimal for your vacation group.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional fees or could be applied to your contract.
• Does your group require specific amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Additional considerations:

• Get the property manager's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental. Store the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call prevents quite a few issues.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're gone! Don't let burglars ruin your family vacation.
• To ensure that no damages are linked to your visit, note any problem areas when you arrive. Speak to the rental manager right away to relay your findings. If there is a dispute, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items on check-out day. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property one final time and scan for damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a excellent time? Many rental websites make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property manager was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
