Friday Check-In/Out for Summer to avoid weekend traffic! "The Whistling Clam" (search the web for it more reviews & listings) The Whistling Clam is a 7 bedroom, 6.5 bath (5 master bedrooms) beach home directly in front of the beach access for Ocean Sands H, a private community. Located at the end of a private cul-de-sac (no through traffic or busy streets to cross with kids like many other OBX locations), it has a enormous private pool, hot tub, rec room with pool table, and tons of deck space to savor the outdoors with a hammock, bench swing, and many adirondack chairs. Note that the pool is not heated, so reservations between October and Mid-March will only have access to the hot tub (and beach obviously). We also received a few complaints about cleaning in 2021 and would just like to make it clear that we have hired a new cleaning company as of January 2022 that came highly recommended and have had no complaints since. The kitchen and master bathroom were just refreshed in 2021, as well as putting new floors throughout the living rooms and bedrooms. The mid-level king master bathroom was also modernized in 2022 with all new furnishings for the main living room purchased as well! A rec room in the basement contains a pool table, refrigerator, ice maker for filling up your cooler, and TV. There are adjoining bedrooms in the basement for parents with younger kids to keep close by with bespoke-constructed bunk beds in one room and a king bedroom in the other. A sizable sliding barn door can either open the two rooms together or slide closed for privacy. On the second level, you'll find 4 bedrooms, a King master (bathroom refreshed in 2022), a Queen master, a master bedroom room having 2 sets of bunk beds (bathroom updated 2023) and another master having 2 twin beds with trundles under them (bathroom modernized 2023). This level also has a mini-refrigerator and living area with a smaller sectional couch. The top level has the main living area, kitchen, dining area, and another King master bedroom. Off of this top level level is a screened-in porch with access upstairs to the crows nest. We hope you appreciate it as much as we do!

Our top Currituck rental property booking tips and tricks:

Finding the best rental value:

• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer time is high season in the Currituck area. Booking your vacation home in the Spring or Fall is an excellent way to save on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Currituck vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property management companies usually offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Many property management companies supply Currituck area travel guides which include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Currituck visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to choose the best rental home in Corolla:

• Choose vacation dates and maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration you need. Great Ocean Views! 7 Bedrooms, 5 Masters, Right on the Beach Access with Pool! has 7 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly available online. If they are not listed, call the host before reserving your rental. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to determine what bed configuration is optimal for your family.
• If your group is bringing pets, you must book a property that allows animals. Ask for details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? Try a map search to find nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

More tips for your stay:

• Put the owner's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents many problems.
• Lock your rental home while you are away. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Document any issues with the property during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are very helpful if there is a dispute.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable visitors bothering your peaceful neighborhood. Apply the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and places you would've not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Just prior to departing, complete a final walk-through to confirm you have not leave anything behind. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, take photographs of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a great vacation? Many rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property manager was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
