How to spend your vacation at Carolina State of Mind: Watch the sunrise over breakfast from one of the sizable 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 pretty 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 included. 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 4th and October 19th, 2025 (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 enormous 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.

Tricks and tips to get the perfect Currituck rental experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Corolla. To get the best value, shift your trip dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer warm weather, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Currituck vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property managers frequently offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Look for your local Currituck visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guide magazines contain coupons for nearby accommodations and attractions.

How to pick the best vacation rental:

• First and foremost, have your group commit to the best dates and a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Gorgeous oceanside retreat with an elevator in Corolla NC! has 8 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally accessible online. If not, call the property owner before reserving your rental. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Does your family require particular amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• 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 property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Pet fees or charges applied to your invoice.

Additional considerations:

• Be sure you get the owner's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your .
• To make sure that no damages are linked to your stay, note any problem areas upon check in. message the rental manager right away to report any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors bothering your life at home. Employ the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can often help. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are out, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the property to make sure you've collected all personal belongings. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the property a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the manager is not available, remember to take pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a wonderful time? Many rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
