★★REVIEWS★★

Here is what some of our past guests have said:

Sara - August 2024 - Airbnb 5 stars
Our stay at Mike and Chelsea’s home was definitely ideal. From the moment we booked, the communication was magnificant—Mike and Chelsea were incredibly responsive and made sure we had all the information we needed for a smooth check-in and a comfortable stay.
The home itself is simply handsome. Every room is thoughtfully decorated, and the space is impeccably clean and inviting. We were impressed by how well-equipped the home was—everything we could possibly need was supplied.
Mike and Chelsea really went above and beyond to ensure we had an exceptional experience. We can't recommend this place enough!

Devin - Jan 2025 - Airbnb 5 stars
Mike and Chelsea’s home was gorgeous! We had a great stay at Nomad Dunes. There was plenty of things in the home to keep everybody entertained- even for our cold winter stay! The vistas were handsome and the rooms were comfortable. Mike and Chelsea were great hosts that answered questions quickly and included more things for guests in an AirBNB than I’ve ever seen- if you’re familiar with the 4X4 area- that was so very important and convenient to not have to worry about bringing a million things with us to the area. The horses came right up to the home every morning while we had our coffee, the location was great! Ideal stay if you are looking for a magnificent home in Carova Beach!

Currituck rental property booking tips:

Find your perfect rental:

  • Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
  • To find the best value, consider changing your vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer excellent temperatures, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
  • Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your family qualifies for a discount.
  • Property management companies often offer customers an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
  • Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guide magazines contain coupons for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Planning and choosing the rightvacation home:

  • Select your dates and budget.
  • Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. May\/April specials Firepit pool\/hot tub,ocean view, Wild Horses, 6 bed 7 baths has 7 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms.
  • Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often available on booking pages. If they are not listed, email the property owner before reserving the rental. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms.
  • Some rental properties allow pets, and others don't. Acceptable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the property manager about allowable pet guidelines before booking.
  • If there's a certain Currituck attraction you are enamored with, look for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
  • Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental.

Considerations for your stay:

  • Be sure you get the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental. We recommend storing the manager's information in your smartphone.
  • Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, television set or kitchen appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents quite a few issues.
  • Protect the property owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are gone, just like you would at home.
  • Make a record of any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately send them to the property manager. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be beneficial if damages are attributed to your stay.
  • Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors bothering your peaceful home. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and places you would have never otherwise known about!
  • Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
  • Re-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings at check-out. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
  • Record a video to document the condition of the property.
  • Did you have a terrific stay? Many rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
