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 humongous 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 appreciate 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 supplied 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 beautiful 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 adore 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. If you're craving seafood, try Upside Restaurant & Bar for spiced shrimp, crab cakes, fresh local tuna, and a water view.

Tips to get the best Corolla rental experience:

Get the most from your budget:

• In the Currituck area, The sooner your group can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are reserved early. Reserving your vacation rental 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your rental.
• Summer time is high season in the Currituck area. To get the best value, try changing your family's Currituck vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer pleasant weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic.
• Owners sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Property managers frequently offer guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, 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 welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Look for your local Currituck visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guide magazines contain offers and deals for nearby tours and attractions.

Planning and choosing your prefectrental home:

• Select a designated group leader, choose your vacation dates, and select a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. 1600 5 O'Clock Somewhere * Private Pool * Game Rm has 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, reach out to the host before you reserve your home. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches. You will need to establish what bed configuration is optimal for your vacation group.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Pet fees or charges could be applied to your invoice.
• Is your family looking for unique amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .

Additional considerations:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your smartphone.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Note any damages to the property upon arrival, and immediately send them to the host. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are beneficial if there is a dispute.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome visitors bothering your peaceful home. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would have never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• When it's time to leave, take a final walk-through to confirm you did not forget any personal items. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property owners rely on great ratings to inspire more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will will be grateful for your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
