How to spend your vacation at Carolina State of Mind: Watch the sunrise over breakfast from one of the enormous rear decks. Stroll out the back gate and a few steps to the beach or stay home and appreciate the private pool area complete with a new hot tub and tiki bar. Play a game of volleyball, badminton, or bocce on the lawn, or make one of the upper decks your own box seat to watch a friendly tennis match on the community court adjacent to your backyard. On the front porches, take a late-day siesta, watch a round of HORSE at the driveway basketball hoop, or catch a spectacular sunset. If you must catch up on a little work online or want to shop or keep up with the friends and family, the internet is high speed (up to 100-140 Mbps) and reliable with strong WiFi signal throughout the entire property. At nighttime, savor a calming swim in the multi-colored lighted pool, make s’mores around the backyard fire pit, challenge the kids to a Foosball tournament or shoot some pool. Need a soundtrack? Feel complimentary to stream your playlist throughout the home, back decks, pool, hot tub and tiki bar. If your energy levels are a little low from a day at the elegant Corolla beaches or the championship golf course, just relax with your favorite book or snag the remote to one of the 11 flat screen TVs featuring 290 Dish TV channels as well as HBO, Cinemax, Showtime, and Starz. Every TV is attached to a DVR and parental controls are simple to program so the kids lay claim to the media room or rec room while the grown-ups play cards or catch up on life on the upper level. This home really has something for ages 1-100! Household amenities include an outdoor shower and ½ bath conveniently accessible directly from the pool deck, yard and gate to the beach walk. There are full sized fridges in the tiki bar, the lower game room and the kitchen, as well as two dedicated drink fridges on the main level and a third in the media room. In addition to the ice from the refrigerator freezers, there is a dedicated ice maker in the media room bar and two dishwashers. The well-appointed kitchen has everything you need for your family meals. There’s counter seating for 5, a huge dining table that generously seats 8 and an additional table that seats 4. A laundry room with 2 washers and 2 dryers lets you pack less and return home without dirty laundry. Carolina State of Mind is over 5,400 square feet and has over 2,500 square feet of decks and porches. It is located adjacent to the southern beach access for Currituck County and is the only home on this dead-end street! In fact, when you turn onto Yaupon from Route 12, you will be confronted with a sign that prohibits cars. The only traffic allowed on Yaupon are guests staying at Carolina State of Mind and trolleys from the Currituck Club bringing guests to the beach access. A stockade fence and hedgerow make it very private yet is in the very epicenter of all that Corolla has to offer. When you return home from your vacation and tell your friends and coworkers that you were basically alone in a secluded getaway, they will just shake their heads and assume you got too much sun…you will just smile and start counting the weeks down to next year’s trip. Bed and bath linens and bed-making are supplied. The private pool is roughly 13x29 and may be heated for $500/week. This property is pet-friendly. There is an additional charge for guests bringing family pets, which will be added and collected after booking. Pet costs range from $161-231 depending on the property, and will be assessed state and local taxes. This home includes credit for $315 in beach gear units from our partners at VayK Life. Stay between April 6th and October 19th, 2024 (7-nighttime minimum), and use your beach gear credit for items such as bicycles, beach chairs, umbrellas, paddleboards, and more! Layout: Lower Level: Recreation room with pool and Foosball tables, pub chairs, refrigerator, sink, microwave and TV. Strategically it is important because the stereo receiver located in the cabinet here controls the source for the music at the pool, hot tub and tiki bar. Bedrooms on the lower level include two en suites with private baths — one with 2 twins and one with 1 king (the second bedroom with an painless entry threshold shower, assistance bars, a seat and a handheld shower head) – along with a final bedroom with a set of bunk beds, a pyramid bunk and a trundle (resulting in four single beds and one full bed in this bedroom) and a full hall bath just across the hall with a double vanity. All three bedrooms have direct access to the pool deck and are equipped with pool door safety alarms. Mid Level: 4 en suites —3 kings and 1 queen, all with tiled baths and direct access to a front or rear deck. The first king suite includes a sitting area. The second king suite has a double vanity and is one of two bedrooms with a disabled accessible shower complete with assistance bars and low threshold entry. In the center of the second floor across from the elevator, double doors open to a media room with a sizable TV, bar, modest refrigerator, ice maker and microwave. Top Level: Living area, dining area, and kitchen, king en suite designed to be a haven of relaxation with a comfortable sitting area and a extravagant bath with tiled shower, soaking tub and a double sink vanity. Its sliding doors open to the third-floor rear deck with ocean vistas, also on this level is a half bath with the elevator off the living area.

Tips and Tricks for getting the perfect Currituck rental home experience:

Finding your perfect vacation home:

• Booking your Currituck vacation home in Fall or Spring is our favorite way to save money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable properties.
• The earlier your group can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best properties are booked early. Booking your rental property up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental.
• Property managers sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your family.
• Booking websites usually offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Currituck area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, travel guide magazines contain discounts for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Selecting the best vacation home in Corolla:

• Start by having your group commit to dates and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your group requires. Gorgeous oceanside retreat with an elevator in Corolla NC! has 8 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is often available on booking pages. If not, email or call the property management company before reserving the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to determine what bed configuration is optimal for your group.
• Visiting for a specific event? Use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental
• Are you bringing the family pet? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional pet fees or charges might be applied to your contract.

Some things to know before you go:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Save the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
• Upon check-in, make note of any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, television set or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents quite a few concerns.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are an excellent resource to find the best local scenic spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your vacation home while you're away. Protect your property!
• Re-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed all personal items at departure. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever possible. If the host isn't available, ensure that you take photographs of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a terrific stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property manager was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
