“Crabcake” lives up to its name! We have found a scrumptious semi-oceanfront vacation rental in Corolla with all the bells and whistles, including a great ocean view, elevator, and theater room! Of course, there is a private pool and a hot tub, but you also get high quality furnishings and a covered poolside sports bar with TV, full refrigerator with freezer for all your beverages and ice, plus a sink and granite countertops! Rain or shine you can “Belly up to the bar!” and appreciate your favorite tunes with the outdoor speakers. Inside you will find it professionally decorated with tasteful décor with amenities all will appreciate. Get to the top level by using the elevator (you do have to take initial steps into the home for elevator access on the lower level). LCD TVs and Blu-Ray players are in all bedrooms and six of the eight bedrooms have king beds. The home theater room with 7 leather reclining seats will make for great movie nights! The great room not only has the TV and stereo with surround sound and gas fireplace…check out that ocean view off the deck! Amazing! The dining table seats 16…rare to find that sizable of a table in a vacation rental but you have it here…and the bar has additional seating for overflow.

“Crabcake” is located with open space on the north side and a great ocean view. You have direct access in the back just a few steps to the walkway! It is simple to access to the beach for breaks for lunch and snacks so you can savor the whole day a the beach. A higher pool fence gives you more privacy in the fenced pool area and bar. This is a great location! Close enough to walk to the tennis courts and community pool, or a fast trip to the grocery store by car is a breeze. Bikers appreciate this area just off the multi-use paths. You could bicycle with the kids to shopping and family activities, or just cruise the Corolla bicycle path. Shopping, groceries, family activities, eateries…it's all close by at “Crabcake”

How to find the best Corolla rental experience:

Getting the most from your budget:

• Summer months are high season in the Currituck area. To book the most suitable rental within budget, we recommend reserving in Fall or Spring months. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular attractions.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies typically offer customers an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Currituck area travel guides that include special deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Currituck visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Planning, selecting, and booking yourrental home:

• Select a group lead, choose your vacation week, and choose a maximum budget.
• Corolla has 8 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly available online. Otherwise, reach out to the property manager before booking the property. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Are you looking for specific amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you will need a pet-friendly property. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.

Considerations for your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your phone.
• To make certain that no damages are attributed to your visit, make note of any problem areas upon check in. Speak to the host right away to record any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, intercom or appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents quite a few issues.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious vacationers bothering your peace and quiet. Practice the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and places you would have never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your rental while you're away. Keep your property safe!
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all personal belongings. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a wonderful stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your rental and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address 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 feedback.
