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 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 remodeled in 2021, as well as putting new floors throughout the living rooms and bedrooms. The mid-level king master bathroom was also refreshed 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 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 appreciate it as much as we do!

Rental home booking tips:

Cost saving strategies:

• Reserve your Currituck rental home in the Spring or Fall to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Currituck vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• The sooner you can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved very early. Booking your rental home six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental.
• Owners sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites often offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Find a copy of your local Currituck visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guides have discounts for nearby tours and attractions.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• First, have your group choose vacation dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your group needs. 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 counts is often available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, call the property management company before reserving the vacation property. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds.
• Looking for unique amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you must reserve a property that allows animals. Make sure to ask for information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Be aware that some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

More tips for your stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property. We recommend storing the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To make certain no damages are attributed to your visit, inspect the property for any problem areas when you arrive. Speak to the rental manager immediately to document any issues. If there is a dispute, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, television set or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents a lot of concerns.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are an excellent resource to find the best local attractions.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental home while you are out and about. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected everything. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, take photographs of the rental to record its condition.
• Leave feedback! Hosts rely on excellent reviews to drive more reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
