What Would Jimmy Buffett Do?
Leave your watch and cell phone behind because It's 5 O'Clock Somewhere! This oceanside Corolla beach home, located in the desired Ocean Sands community, will instantly put you in a state of relaxation thanks to all the amenities and coastal decorations. At just half a mile from the ocean, the nearest access is just an 8-min. walk away when you're ready to hit the beach. If your family doesn't want to haul all that beach gear and prefers to drive, you'll be just 5 mins. away from the Bonito St. Public Beach Access with a parking lot.

The ground level has plenty of parking space for the whole family and room for 1 car to park under the home. Outside, a giant 12'x26' private pool is where you'll spend the day splashing around in the sun. Afterward, take a dip in the bubbly hot tub to relax your muscles. Inside, you can play a round of billiards in the rec room while you watch the big game or listen to music. When it's time to go to sleep, a comfortable Queen Bedroom shares a Full-Sized Hall Bathroom with another bedroom that has 2 Bunk Bed sets.

A split staircase leads up to the front porch on the middle level where you can access the main entrance to the home. For a more laid-back ambiance, chill out in the striking den featuring an entertainment center and a wet bar that lets you really vacation “Margaritaville”-style. You'll adore taking your drink out on the covered deck that overlooks the pool to relax in a colorful Adirondack chair. At the end of the day, curl up with your favorite beach novel in the Master King Suite w/ Full Bathroom. Another Full Hall Bathroom featuring a Whirlpool tub and shower combo is shared by a second Bedroom with a Pyramid Bunk w/ Trundle Bed and another Queen Bedroom. A convenient laundry room completes this level.

Upstairs, the top level is a enormous open-style floorplan featuring a living area, kitchen, and dining area. Parlor on the cozy living room furnishings for a movie marathon or grab one of the many board games and puzzles for a family game nighttime around the card table. The nautical-themed kitchen has plenty of counter space and comes outfitted with anything you might need to make a tasty family dinner. There is room for 10 at the dining room table or for more space, 4 people can sit at the kitchen bar. A gorgeous Master King Suite is located on this level and features a Full Bathroom with a Whirlpool tub and separate shower. Whether you prefer to flip through a magazine in the sun, watch the charming colors of the sky during the sunrise or gaze at the stars at nighttime, the top-level sundeck will be your favorite spot to hang out and let your stresses flow away with the ocean breeze.

Better Than Margaritaville
Corolla is the ideal hideaway… this modest beach town accepts you to get away from the hustle and bustle of a big city but the local attractions and great eateries offer plenty to do for the whole family. Conveniently located less than 5 miles away from Historic Corolla, your family will appreciate touring the Whalehead Club and visiting the Currituck Beach Lighthouse. For a real one-of-a-kind experience, take a tour of the 4x4 beach area just north of your home to catch a glimpse of the Corolla Wild Horses. After touring the area, satisfy your hunger with some pork BBQ and ribs at Corolla Village Bar-B-Que or a French Dip and Club Sub at Bacchus Wine & Beer Bistro.

Finding the best Corolla vacation home experience:

Getting the most from your budget:

• Summer months are high season in Corolla. Reserving a rental home in the Spring or Fall is an excellent way to save money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Currituck vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• The earlier you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are reserved very early. Reserving your rental property up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental home.
• Some hosts offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Property managers frequently offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Currituck area visitors guides which will include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Currituck visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Finding the perfect rental home in Corolla:

• Select your vacation week and spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. 1600 5 O'Clock Somewhere * Private Pool * Game Rm has 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is usually available on booking pages. Otherwise, contact the property owner before you book your rental. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Visiting for a specific attraction or event? Use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking
• Some rental properties allow pets, and others don't. Allowable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the property manager about pets before booking.

Know before you go:

• Be sure you get the property manager's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home.
• To make sure no damages are linked to your family's visit, inspect for any problem areas during arrival. Contact the rental manager right away to report any issues. If there is a dispute, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often a fantastic source for finding the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your rental while you're out and about. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all of your things. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental one final time and scan for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can. If the manager is not available, remember to take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave a review! Hosts rely on great ratings to drive more bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will appreciate that you share your review 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 reasonably to fix it.
