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 huge private pool, hot tub, rec room with pool table, and tons of deck space to appreciate 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 enormous 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 modernized 2023) and another master having 2 twin beds with trundles under them (bathroom updated 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 savor it as much as we do!

Also, if you would like to have beach chairs, tents, coolers, etc. set up, please message us after booking. We can get you a discount with Corolla Beach Services!

How to get the best Currituck vacation rental experience:

Finding the best rental home value:

• The earlier your group can book, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are booked early. Reserving your vacation home six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Currituck area. To find the best value, change your group's trip dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer pleasant weather, , and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer.
• Some property management companies offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies often offer renters an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, travel guide magazines have coupons for nearby shops and restaurants.

Selecting the best vacation rental in the Currituck area:

• To start, have your family choose trip dates and a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. Great Ocean Views! 7 Bedrooms, 5 Masters, Right on the Beach Access with Pool! has 7 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always available on booking pages. Otherwise, reach out to the property manager before you book the vacation home. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches.
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to find a property that allows animals. Request information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction or event? Try a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental.

Advice for your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Add a note with the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, intercom or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents quite a few concerns.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Document any damages to the rental at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be helpful if there is a dispute.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be an incredible resource to find the best local beaches.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can often help. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Double-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed everything at departure. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did you have a excellent vacation? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address 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.
