Castle in the Sand is a striking 6-bedroom home that offers the ideal amount of comfort, making it an ideal hideaway for you and your furry friends. Located on a peaceful cul-de-sac, the home's soundside location offers a peaceful location for families any time of the year.

The top level of the home offers roomy seating in the family room, which is comfortably set up for watching the big game on the 50" ROKU Intelligent TV or calming by the fireplace during the chilly, winter months. The huge dining table provides seating for the whole family, and for those cool spring mornings, breakfast in the screened in porch located just off of the dining room is the ideal way to start your day at the beach. The enormous kitchen is entirely-supplied and equipped for meals at home while the open floorplan accepts for everybody in the group to be together and not have to miss out on any moments. A cavernous top-level master with full private bath offers comfort and privacy all while being steps away from the main living area of the home.

On the mid-level, you will find four of the bedrooms in the home, all set up with Intelligent TVs. There are 2-shared bathrooms on the floor with tiled showers with plenty of space for guests. One side of the home is arranged with a queen bedroom, joined by a shared bathroom and pyramid bunk room, while the other queen is connected with a bunk bed and office set up to allow any work to be done, even while on vacation. The ground floor is where all of the fun happens! A full-sized pool table, arcade game programmed with 60 classic arcade games and a mini-refrigerator offer fun for the whole family, and with the pool deck just being steps away, there is plenty to do, rain or shine. The backyard offers a private setting, with a spacious yard and pool-side seating for all to savor while relaxing in the pool (pool heat can be added for an additional fee.) or star-gazing in the hot tub.

Tips and Tricks for getting the perfect rental experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Summer is high season in the Currituck area. To find the best value, consider changing your group's vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer warmer temperatures, , and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts and property managers offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Often, rental management companies supply Currituck area visitors guide magazines which will include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the property 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, selecting, and booking your prefect Currituck rental:

• Select a group lead, select your dates, and select a budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Castle In The Sand-Dog-Friendly, Private Pool, Hot Tub, Community Amenities! has 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, email the host before booking the rental. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If there's an individual Currituck destination you love, browse properties that are either near by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. .
• Do your family pets travel with you? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Pet fees or costs might be applied to your agreement.

Know before you go:

• Get the property manager's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your .
• Upon arrival, record any damages to the property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent many problems.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable visitors disrupting your peaceful home. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and attractions you would've not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your rental while you're out and about. Keep your property safe!
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all personal items. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property a final time and look for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, take photographs of the rental to record its condition.
• Remember to leave a review! Property owners rely on great feedback to propel future reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
