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. Located on a peaceful cul-de-sac, the home's soundside location offers a peaceful location for families any time of the year. Whether you're seeking a relaxing 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 cavernous 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 enormous 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 sizable kitchen is entirely-supplied 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. A roomy top-level master with full private bath offers comfort and privacy all while being steps away from the main living area of the home.

On the mid-level, you will find four of the bedrooms in the home, all set up with Intelligent TVs. There are 2-shared bathrooms on the floor with tiled showers with plenty of space for guests. 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.

Vacation rental home tips and tricks:

Find your perfect rental:

• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are high season in the Currituck area. To book the most suitable vacation home for your budget, we suggest reserving in Fall or Spring months. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at Currituck restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer.
• Owners sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies often offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Find a copy of your local Currituck area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guides have discounts for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Choose your vacation dates and maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your group needs. Castle In The Sand-Dog-Friendly, Private Pool, Hot Tub, Community Amenities! has 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is commonly accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, call the property manager before you reserve the vacation property. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to establish what is right for your family.
• Some properties allow pets, and others do not. Allowable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask your host about allowable pet guidelines before booking.
• If there's an individual Currituck beach you are crazy about, search for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. .

Additional considerations:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Add a note with the directions to your phone, and take a printed copy.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you're out and about. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• During check-in, record any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Just prior to departing, take a final walk-through to make sure you did not forget anything. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did you have a fantastic time? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your property and/or host was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
