Welcome to Wishing Whale by KEES Vacations!

Located in the famed Whalehead Club, appreciate the rich history of this stretch of the Outer Banks while visiting at the Wishing Whale. This newly refreshed, pet-friendly home on a humongous grassy lot is just a few short steps from the coveted Corolla beaches. Spend some time on the sandy shores of this famed stretch of beach. Unwind in your beach chair with your toes in the sand, soaking up the Vitamin D or catching up on the latest mystery novel. Or charge right into the waters of the Atlantic Ocean and savor some body surfing or body boarding along with the kids. Maybe even take an early morning walk along the shoreline to hunt for that ideal shell or an elegant piece of beach glass.

The open deck and screened porch at Wishing Whale provide plenty of opportunity to enjoy Mother Nature's gifts. Sip your morning coffee while watching the sun rise. Savor a glass of wine on the deck as the day winds down. Spend the clear, starry nights in the hot tub as the warmth soothes your worries away. The huge windows welcome you to the great room. Here you will find a sizable living area with seating for 7. Pop a bag of popcorn and pile up together to watch your favorite TV show or the latest blockbuster movie together.

The dining area with a handsome wood accent wall invites the entire group to sit down and enjoy a meal together. Open the sliding glass door to the screened porch and let the Outer Banks breeze blow through. The completely equipped kitchen has everything needed to prepare anything from a simple snack to a full meal with its efficient design and plentiful workspace. The striking open great room promotes a excellent flow of conversation where everybody is supplied!! This level also features 3 Queen bedrooms and 2 full baths.

A bedroom with 2 Queen beds and connecting full bath, a room with a Queen bed and a Twin bunk, and a game room provide the ideal hideaway for the kids in the family (or at least the kids at heart!).

Tricks and tips to get the perfect Currituck vacation home experience:

Sticking to a spending plan:

• In the Currituck area, The sooner you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved very early. Booking your rental home up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental property.
• Summertime is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. To get the best value, shift your family's Currituck trip dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer great weather, , and reduced traffic.
• Some property managers offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites frequently offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Currituck area travel guides which include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Currituck area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Selecting the best vacation home in Corolla:

• Start by having your group choose date ranges and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Wishing Whale - Freshly Remodeled Home w\/ Hot Tub, Steps from the Beach has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually available online. Otherwise, email or call the host before you book the property. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to establish what configuration is best for your vacation.
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to find a property that allows animals. Make sure to ask for details on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• Looking for particular amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

More considerations for your visit:

• Store the owner's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are away, just like you would back home.
• Upon arrival, record any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers disrupting your home life. Practice the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• On check-out day, take a walk-through to make sure you did not leave anything behind. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the property a final time and scan for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, remember to take video of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a fantastic vacation? Most rental management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property manager was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
