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. Whether you're seeking a relaxing escape or an adventure-filled hideaway, Castle in the Sand provides the ideal setting for making memories that will last a lifetime.

The top level of the home offers cavernous 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-outfitted 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 roomy 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.

Currituck rental home booking tips:

Sticking to your spending plan:

• To find the most suitable rental home within your budget, we suggest booking in Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at restaurants, beaches, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer.
• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your family qualifies for a special rate.
• Booking websites usually offer guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Often, property management companies supply Currituck area visitor guide magazines that include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Currituck visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Make a plan and choose a perfectrental home:

• Select your vacation week and max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. Castle In The Sand-Dog-Friendly, Private Pool, Hot Tub, Community Amenities! has 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly available online. If not, email or call the property manager before reserving your home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Are you visiting for a specific event or attraction? Try a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? 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. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Additional pet fees or costs could be applied to your agreement.

During your stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your .
• To make certain damages are not linked to your family's stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas during check in. E-mail the host right away to document any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be respectful. Often, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Keep your rental home locked while you're away! Don't let burglars spoil your family vacation.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected everything. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental a final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, take pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on excellent ratings to drive more bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
