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 magnificant 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 roomy 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.

Tricks and tips to get the perfect rental experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is high season in the Currituck area. Booking your vacation rental in the Spring or Fall is an excellent way to save money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Currituck vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Some property managers offer discounts for veterans. Check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Often, property management companies supply Currituck area visitor guide magazines which will include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Currituck area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Narrow your Search:

• To start, have your family agree to the best dates and a budget.
• Pool and Hot Tub has 6 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often available on booking websites. If not, email the property management company before booking your home. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to determine what is right for your vacation.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Pet fees or might be applied to your agreement.
• If there's a certain Currituck attraction you crave, look for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental.

During your stay:

• Be sure you get the host's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental. Store the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you're away! Don't let burglars ruin your vacation.
• Document any damages to the property at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be beneficial if there is a dispute.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers disrupting your home life. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently help. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected all personal items. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a great vacation? Most rental home management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property manager was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order 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 review.
