Happy Ours features a long driveway with ample parking for you and your family group. Take a swim in the huge private pool or shoot some hoops in the basketball goal before calming in the bubbly hot tub after a day of fun. Freshen up after a long day at the beach under the outdoor shower and don't forget to savor a drink at the all-new poolside tiki bar before heading inside to play foosball in the game room. Impress the family with your grilling skills as you fire up the day's catch on the gas grille.

On the main level, rest up for beach-day fun in one of three Queen Bedrooms, all of which have TVs, where you can relax before dozing off for the nighttime. With two sets of bunk beds rounding out the fourth bedroom on this level, Happy Ours provides a calming space for the kids to relax before hanging out with the family on the deck, which can be accessed from the bunk room as well as from two of the Queen Bedrooms.

Upstairs, on the top level, enjoy a roomy living area with high ceilings and plenty of windows that will allow you to soak in all of that natural beach lighting. Cook up a delicious meal in the cavernous, well-supplied kitchen to eat at the bar, which seats 4, or the raised dining area, which can accommodate 8 at the sizable dining table and 4 at the table near the window. If eating outdoors is more your style, take your drink or meal out onto the screened porch where you can enjoy the brilliant Outer Banks weather at the wooden bar. Catch some z's in the spacious King Master Bedroom before taking a break on the furnished sun deck. Your stay at Happy Ours will rejuvenate and refresh you while giving you the best that the Outer Banks has to offer!

How to book the best Corolla rental home experience:

When to visit Corolla & When to reserve a Corolla rental home:

• The earlier you can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best properties are booked early. Reserving your rental property up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation rental.
• Summer is the most expensive season in coastal NC. To find the most suitable rental for your budget, we highly recommend booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite Currituck restaurants and activities.
• Owners sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites often offer guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Look for your local Currituck visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guides contain deals for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

How to select the perfect vacation rental in Corolla:

• Begin by choosing trip dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. 1359 Happy Ours * 3 Min Walk to Beach has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually available on booking websites. If not, call the host before you book your home. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to determine what configuration is best for your vacation family.
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly vacation rental. Ask for information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Usually, property managers charge additional pet fees.
• If there's a specific Currituck beach you simply love, look for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Remember to confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental

More tips for your visit:

• We recommend storing the owner's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are away, just like you would at home.
• To ensure that no damages are linked to your stay, make note of any problem areas during check in. Get in touch with the rental manager right away to record your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors disrupting your peace and quiet. Employ the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and places you would've never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all belongings. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the property one final time and look for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the host isn't available, remember to take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a terrific time? Many rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was amiss and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
