Welcome to your dream vacation getaway and under NEW MANAGEMENT for 2024! 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 calming location for families any time of the year. Whether you're seeking a peaceful 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 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 sizable 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.

Strategies to get the very best Currituck rental experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To find the most suitable vacation home within budget, we highly recommend reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at popular Currituck attractions and restaurants.
• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Booking websites typically offer customers an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Currituck area visitor guides which often include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Choosing and booking the perfectrental home:

• Choose vacation week and max budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your group requires. 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 Currituck rental home search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is generally available on booking pages. If not, email or call the property management company before reserving the property. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to determine which bed configuration is right for your trip.
• If there's a particular Currituck destination you love, search for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional pet fees or could be applied to your contract.

Know before you go:

• Get the property manager's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property.
• Document any damages to the property during check in, and immediately contact the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are beneficial if a dispute is filed.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers disrupting your peace. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and attractions you would've never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your vacation home while you are out. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Re-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed everything on check-out day. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a terrific stay? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property manager was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
