About this Property

• Sleeps 8
• 4 Bedrooms
• 4 Bathrooms
• Private vacation home
• Approximately 1750 square feet

This vacation home has been delightfully refreshed with the idea that a rental can feel unique and personal rather than generic and impersonal. Located in the beach community of Whalehead in Corolla, this modren home features two en suite master bedrooms and two bedrooms having two twin beds each and a shared bathroom -- ideal for one or two families, a girls’ weekend, or a couple wanting a comfortable home that's neither too big nor too modest.

For the hot summer months, the private pool is invigorating, and the covered pergola poolside will allow for hours spent reading, napping or socializing without getting sunburned. And the fun can continue into the evening with the grille fired up and the lights on! There is a double swing on the mid-level deck, also a nice spot to appreciate by yourself or with a companion.

The home comes with beach umbrellas and chairs, as well as a decent collection of body boards and sandcastle building "equipment" for the kids. There’s also a cart to carry all this, making the short walk to the beach even easier. It’s only a three min. walk down a nice paved boardwalk to the beach. For those familiar with Whalehead, this is the Barracuda Walkway.

The home also offers some privacy, as it is surrounded by stands of pines, making it feel like it’s tucked in its own little cocoon.

As the owner/reservation agent/concierge whose been visiting here for over twenty-five years, I'm happy to help my guests with their vacation planning. I care that all guests thoroughly savor their time spent in my home and this fabulous beach area.

Please note that my home is only available for rent on Vacation Rental By Owner/HomeAway. It is not available on a third-event site or Craigslist. When making inquiries or bookings, you would only speak with me (the owner); I am always happy to talk and answer any questions you may have.

Vacation rental tips:

How to get the best rental value:

• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Booking a rental in the Spring or Fall is a good way to save on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable properties. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Booking websites usually offer guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Currituck visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local articles, travel guide magazines have deals for nearby shops and restaurants.

Selecting the best vacation home:

• Select vacation dates and budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. Charming cottage 2 blocks from the beach \n has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is normally accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, email or call the property manager before you reserve the rental. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to determine what is suitable for your group.
• Do your family pets travel with you? 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. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement! Pet fees or may be applied to your contract.
• Visiting for a single attraction? Use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. .

Considerations for your stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Add a note with the instructions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're away! Don't let thieves spoil your vacation.
• Make a record of any damages to the property upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are useful if damages are assessed.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable visitors bothering your peace and quiet. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• At departure, complete a walk-through to confirm you have not leave anything behind. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a terrific time? Many rental managers make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix 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 comments.
