Castle in the Sand is a impressive 6-bedroom home that offers the ideal amount of comfort, making it an ideal hideaway for you and your furry friends.

Whether you're seeking a calming escape or an adventure-filled hideaway, Castle in the Sand provides the ideal setting for making memories that will last a lifetime.

The top level of the home offers roomy seating in the family room, which is comfortably set up for watching the big game on the 50" ROKU Intelligent TV or calming by the fireplace during the chilly, winter months. The sizable dining table provides seating for the whole family, and for those cool spring mornings, breakfast in the screened in porch located just off of the dining room is the ideal way to start your day at the beach. The enormous kitchen is entirely-outfitted and equipped for meals at home while the open floorplan accepts for everybody in the group to be together and not have to miss out on any moments.

One side of the home is arranged with a queen bedroom, joined by a shared bathroom and pyramid bunk room, while the other queen is connected with a bunk bed and office set up to allow any work to be done, even while on vacation. The ground floor is where all of the fun happens! A full-sized pool table, arcade game programmed with 60 classic arcade games and a mini-refrigerator offer fun for the whole family, and with the pool deck just being steps away, there is plenty to do, rain or shine. The backyard offers a private setting, with a spacious yard and pool-side seating for all to savor while relaxing in the pool (pool heat can be added for an additional fee.) or star-gazing in the hot tub.

• To book the largest rental home within budget, we highly recommend reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy 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 reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer.

Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
