Happy Ours features a long driveway with ample parking for you and your family group. Take a swim in the enormous 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 appreciate 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 huge 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!

Tips and Tricks to get the optimal vacation property experience:

When to book a Currituck rental & When to go:

• To find the largest vacation home for your budget, we strongly suggest reserving in the Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at popular Currituck attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season.
• In the Currituck area, The earlier your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable properties are reserved early. Booking your rental home 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your vacation rental.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts for veterans. 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 frequently offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost 1% - 5% of the base booking 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 ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Currituck area travel guides which often include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Planning, picking, and booking your Currituck rental home:

• Choose your vacation dates and maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Happy Ours* Beach 3 Min Walk*Pool*Hot Tub*Tiki Bar has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is regularly accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, email or call the property owner before reserving the home. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches. You will need to determine what configuration is best for your trip.
• Are you visiting for a specific event or attraction? Use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Some properties allow pets, and others don't. Acceptable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the property management company about your furry family members before booking.

Have a wonderful stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your smartphone.
• During arrival, document any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the host. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, intercom or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents many difficulties.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers bothering your peace and quiet. Practice the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and attractions you would've not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your vacation home while you are away. Protect your property!
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected everything. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property one final time and keep an eye out for damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever possible. If the manager is not available, ensure that you take video of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a wonderful stay? Many rental websites make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property manager was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
