“Crabcake” lives up to its name! We have found a scrumptious semi-oceanfront vacation rental in Corolla with all the bells and whistles, including a great ocean view, elevator, and theater room! Of course, there is a private pool and a hot tub, but you also get high quality furnishings and a covered poolside sports bar with TV, full refrigerator with freezer for all your beverages and ice, plus a sink and granite countertops! Rain or shine you can “Belly up to the bar!” and savor your favorite tunes with the outdoor speakers. Inside you will find it professionally decorated with tasteful décor with amenities all will appreciate. Get to the top level by using the elevator (you do have to take initial steps into the home for elevator access on the lower level). LCD TVs and Blu-Ray players are in all bedrooms and six of the eight bedrooms have king beds. The home theater room with 7 leather reclining seats will make for great movie nights! The great room not only has the TV and stereo with surround sound and gas fireplace…check out that ocean view off the deck! Amazing! The dining table seats 16…rare to find that huge of a table in a vacation rental but you have it here…and the bar has additional seating for overflow.

“Crabcake” is located with open space on the north side and a great ocean view. You have direct access in the back just a few steps to the walkway! It is simple to access to the beach for breaks for lunch and snacks so you can appreciate the whole day a the beach. A higher pool fence gives you more privacy in the fenced pool area and bar. This is a great location! Close enough to walk to the tennis courts and community pool, or a fast trip to the grocery store by car is a breeze. Bikers adore this area just off the multi-use paths. You could bicycle with the kids to shopping and family activities, or just cruise the Corolla bicycle path. Shopping, groceries, family activities, eateries…it's all close by at “Crabcake”

Our top Rental home tips and tricks:

Find your perfect rental:

• Summertime is the most expensive season in the Currituck area. Booking in Spring or Fall is a good way to save money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable homes.
• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
• Property managers often offer renters an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane 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 more information.
• Often, management companies supply Currituck area travel guide magazines which will include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Currituck visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Planning and choosing the bestrental home:

• Select your vacation week and max budget.
• 175 ft from the beach
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts is often available on booking websites. If they are not listed, call the host before you book the rental. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to determine what bed configuration is best for your trip.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction or event? Use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. .
• Some rentals allow pets, but others don't. Acceptable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask your host about allowable breeds and types before booking.

More tips for your visit:

• We recommend storing the owner's information in your smartphone.
• Upon arrival, make note of any issues with the property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent many problems.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often, nearby homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Keep the property locked while you are out! Don't let crooks ruin your vacation.
• Upon check-out, take a walk-through to make sure you didn't forget anything. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a wonderful time? Most rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or host was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
