“Hughes Hideaway” is a semi-oceanfront mansion with private pool, hot tub, handsome finishes, humongous spaces for everybody and a manicured lawn for the kids. Wood in the great room living area with plenty of room for everybody accents the granite countertops on the bespoke cabinetry with high-end stainless-steel appliances. We should call this “Huge Hideaway” with all the space you will have to savor all 19 of your closest friends and relatives! The kitchen island spans the length of the kitchen where cooks can look out into the great room and be a part of the family fun. The island bar seats 8 effortlessly, and adds much needed storage space to the kitchen. Appliances are set up to prepare meals for the entire group. Or, call in a private chef who can take care of everybody, whether you want to appreciate meals in the dining area and great room, ground level poolside or deck side. Let's get right to the kids. The manicured yard and volleyball court are kept fresh and are ready for tiny feet (or not so tiny) to run, play and just have a ball without spurs and cactus in the way. The top level intelligent TV accepts you to stream your favorite shows, the home theater also offers internet access so you can enjoy movies there or hook up and stream favorite shows, movies or games.

The ground level rec room floor plan gives a fun space with some distance to the bedrooms and office for a peaceful environment when needed. The ample rec room has a 9 ft. billiards table and a game table for board games or snacks. The sizable wet bar with refrigerator with freezer ice maker and 2 drawer dishwasher gives you another area for storage and meal prep for lunches by the pool. The cabana home attached by decking to the main home gives super privacy in the upper level bridal suite king master outfitted with LCD TV, Mini Fridge, Microwave, and a huge tile Shower with a Rain Head and Steam Mist. Below at poolside is the cabana kitchenette with a cool pass through to the poolside bar, full size refrigerator with freezer ice maker, and LCD TV. This great hang out will be the spot for lunch and snacks by the pool.

All bedrooms are full masters, with numerous offering luxury appointments. The top King Master has deck access overlooking a green/tree scape you do not usually get in a busy Corolla neighborhood. This master has steam mist in the tub/shower unit. Mid level master bedrooms are huge and comfortable, with some offering private toilet rooms, some offering access to the massive deck space this home offers.

Outside covered patios and decks abound with a calming pool deck cabana bar/kitchen and a hot tub protected and shaded on the ground level patio just beside the cute grilling area. Grillmasters will no longer be isolated here! Bring the volleyball because this court is always ready to play! Soft, lush grass in the front yard gives the kids a place to play and mom, dad and grandparents a handsome place to watch. Just a few homes from the beach access, our measurement is halfway up the access, making the distance to the beach closer than you think.

Our top Vacation rental booking tips:

Get the most from your spending budget:

• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is the most expensive season in Corolla. To find the best rental within budget, we highly recommend reserving in the Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at restaurants, beaches, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Property management companies sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Property management companies often offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guide magazines contain coupons for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Begin by choosing a vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Corolla has 9 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is commonly accessible online. If not, reach out to the property management company before you book the vacation property. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to work out what is optimal for your family.
• Some rentals allow pets, but some don't. Allowable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask your host about allowable breeds and types before booking.
• Does your family require unique amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental

Additional considerations:

• Be sure you get the owner's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental while you're away. Keep your property safe!
• Document any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately contact the owner. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be very helpful if there is a dispute.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors disrupting your peaceful home life. Employ the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would have not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can frequently help. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed everything on check-out day. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the property one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, ensure that you take photos and video of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a fantastic vacation? Many rental home management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property manager was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
