Currituck Club rental

We jsut booked a house located in the Currituck Club



section. We were told that there is a trolley going to the beach every 1/2 hour. Has anyone had any experiences using the trolley going back and forth?





Also, any recommendations of good places to each, buying fresh seafood and fishing piers.





thanks

Yes. Friend has a house there we have used.





Our experience with the trolly is it drops you off outside the community and across the main road. Where it drops you off isn%26#39;t that close to the beach. You still have a fair walk with all your junk down a right-of-way path between the homes and then over the dune.





We had my elderly grandparents with us, and it wasn%26#39;t very convenient, so we just drove up to the north part and drove out on the beach instead.





I hear there is valet services-what that entails, I am not sure. Also it was 2006 when we were there, so things may have changed.

It might be that the valet service is during the peak season...college students, etc. They will help carry stuff down the walk, up the steps over the dunes and down the other side to the oceanfront beach. I can%26#39;t remember how they were called to haul it all in reverse...perhaps a cell phone number?



I also don%26#39;t know what their provisions are for the disabled...or perhaps I should say differently abled...traveler. Don%26#39;t know how they would accomplish going up and over and down the dune in a wheelchair. There must be a provsion though.



When we were there there was also a kiosk where the bus dropped one off that sold things like suntan lotion one might have forgotten.



At some point there was a lot of discussion on the trolley. You might do a word search using the little empty box directly atop these posts...not the big one. And first go to North Carolina to capture any in Corolla (where it seems most of them are) and Outer Banks Forums. If I remember correctly some people thought it was a bit of a hassle with all the beach toys if one had many children. Lots of homes, though, have one of those big carts to carry all the beach stuff in.



But it is a wonderful experience. Currituck Club is one of our favorites in the Outer Banks. When our group had many younger active children and parents going in different directions (even to on-site basketball court) it just seemed like Corolla Light provided one-stop shopping.



Sometimes when it%26#39;s a smaller group we%26#39;ll rent in Currituck Club and enjoy the golf course views and absolutely amazing sunsets!



Cameras a must...for sunsets and those can%26#39;t-take-a-bad-picture days of family memories; good solid kites for the wonderful breezes on the beach in the evening and binoculars.




This is what we did last summer. One person in our group drove and dropped people off then THAT person took the trolley. We took turns, worked out well. Same way with the return trip. One time, my son and his little girls wanted to go back before everyone else so they started walking. Someone that worked for the trolley service picked them up in an air conditioned van and drove them right to the house. I think they use the vans for the trolley overflow, as we were there the week of the 4th of July.




This issue was discussed in the forum a while back. I remember debating the valet service then as well. My experience was we didn%26#39;t see anyone, and then I was told it was during peak season. But we were there early August.





I am sure you will make it work for you; it is just good to be prepared.
