Welcome to Wishing Whale by KEES Vacations!

Located in the famed Whalehead Club, appreciate the rich history of this stretch of the Outer Banks while visiting at the Wishing Whale. This freshly refreshed, pet-friendly home on a giant grassy lot is just a few short steps from the coveted Corolla beaches.

The open deck and screened porch at Wishing Whale provides plenty of opportunity to savor Mother Nature's gifts. Sip your morning coffee while watching the sun rise. Appreciate a glass of wine on the deck as the day winds down. Spend the clear, starry nights in the hot tub as the warmth soothes your worries away. Here you will find a enormous living area with seating for 7. Pop a bag of popcorn and pile up together to watch your favorite TV show or the latest blockbuster movie together.

The dining area with a handsome wood accent wall invites the entire group to sit down and enjoy a meal together. Open the sliding glass door to the screened porch and let the Outer Banks breeze blow through. The entirely equipped kitchen has everything needed to prepare anything from a simple snack to a full meal with its efficient design and plentiful workspace.

Tips to get the best Corolla rental experience:

Money saving strategies:

• Summer is high season in Corolla. Book your Currituck vacation in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Currituck vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• The earlier your group can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are reserved very early. Reserving your rental property 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental.
• Some owners offer promotional rates for veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers frequently offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Many rental management companies supply Currituck area visitor guides which often include special offers, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Currituck visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Finding the best vacation home in the Currituck area:

• Select a group lead, select your dates, and select a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. Wishing Whale - Freshly Remodeled Home w\/ Hot Tub, Steps from the Beach has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is often accessible online. Otherwise, email or call the property manager before you reserve the vacation home. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to determine which bed configuration is best for your vacation family.
• If there's a particular Currituck destination you are enamored with, keep an eye out for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and others do not. Acceptable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the property management company about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

More considerations for your visit:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Save the instructions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• Document any damages to the property during check in, and immediately contact the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are very helpful if damages are assessed.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, television set or appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call prevents lots of issues.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers bothering your peace and quiet. Employ the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are out, just like you would back home.
• Double-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items on check-out day. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property owners rely on excellent ratings to propel future bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will be thankful you shared your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
