Rain or shine you can “Belly up to the bar!” and savor your favorite tunes with the outdoor speakers.

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!

“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 painless 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.

Strategies to get the very best Currituck rental home experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Book your Currituck vacation home in the Fall or Spring to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Currituck vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Some hosts offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites often offer renters an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Currituck area visitors guides that include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Planning, picking, and booking the perfect Currituck vacation home:

• Select a group lead, select your vacation dates, and choose a spending budget.
• Corolla has 8 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is regularly available on booking pages. Otherwise, reach out to the property management company before reserving the rental. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds.
• If your group is bringing pets, you will need a pet-friendly property. Make sure to ask for details on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• Visiting for a specific event or attraction? Use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Have a fantastic stay:

• Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, stereo or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent lots of difficulties.
• Lock your rental home while you're away. Protect your property!
• To ensure that damages aren't attributed to your family's visit, make note of any problem areas when you arrive. Call the host right away to record any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Respect your neighbors. Often, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all personal items. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the property a final time and look for damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property managers rely on excellent feedback to compel future reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will will be grateful for your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
