Planning a trip to the Outer Banks with another family? Make vacation memories together while still having your own separate retreats when you reserve White Dolphin. This Buck Island duplex features identical layouts on either side, each with its own living area, full kitchen, rec room and four bedrooms for a total of eight bedrooms under one roof! The top and bottom levels include interior access to the other side, making it painless to share spaces when you want to. Finest of all, you'll only be a short walk to the beach (there's also complimentary oceanfront parking) as well as a variety of resort-style amenities available exclusively to Buck Island guests.

Cooking and clean-up will be a breeze since you'll have TWO KITCHENS - twice the counterspace, twice the appliances, twice the convenience! Both open-concept living areas are located on the top level and feature vaulted ceilings and a wet bar. Two dining areas plus bar seating at both kitchens can accommodate the entire group at mealtime. Just outside, the sun decks on either side are BOTH equipped with a hot tub. In the evenings, head downstairs to shoot some pool in the rec room. The garage on the other side includes a poker table and foosball table for additional indoor entertainment options.

White Dolphin is conveniently located in the gated community of Buck Island, just steps from the resort's Olympic-size outdoor swimming pool, kiddie pool, tennis court, basketball court and playground. This exceptional location also means you'll be just a short walk over to the eateries, grocery stores and specialty food markets in Monteray Plaza. Timbuck II Shopping Village is located just across Ocean Trail, where you'll find a variety of stores, additional dining options and family-friendly recreational activities.

Adore the location and amenities of White Dolphin but don't need rather as much space? Each side is available to rent separately as a four-bedroom home and locked off from the adjoining unit (see BU18L or BU18R).

Family Animals allowed. No smoking/vaping. Fireplace not available for guest use.

Strategies to get the perfect vacation rental experience:

When to visit & When to book:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. To find the best value, change your vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer warm temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts and property managers offer rate reductions for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Currituck visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guides have discounts for nearby shops and restaurants.

How to choose the perfect vacation rental in the Currituck area:

• Choose a designated group leader, choose your vacation dates, and select a max budget.
• Pool Access has 8 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally available on booking pages. Otherwise, contact the property owner before you reserve the home. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Is your family looking for specific amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the best rental home.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Pet fees or applied to your agreement.

Considerations for your stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property. Store the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To ensure that damages aren't linked to your visit, make a record of any problem areas during check in. Get in touch with the host right away to record any issues. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often a fantastic resource to find the best local scenic spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can typically help. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Keep the property locked while you're out! Don't let burglars spoil your holiday.
• Re-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items at check-out. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property one final time and scan for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take video of the property to record its condition.
• Leave feedback! Property managers rely on good ratings to propel future bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your experience find their best rental home. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
