Welcome to Sea Forever, one of the premier vacation beach homes in Corolla, Outer Banks! Guests appreciate to rent our OBX home for family get-togethers, anniversaries, weddings, and other special occasions year round. We are a 3 min. walk to Whalehead Beach and a bicycle ride to shopping, dining, and groceries! Although this is a new listing, we are experienced owners who have rented for over 12 years. In 2023 we installed new floor and rugs, painted the interior, hung new photos and decor, added new outdoor furnishings, and replenished our linen. We are proud to provide so many amenities that other homes do not, including tons of bicycles, beach gear, pool items, kids toys, kitchen luxuries, streaming TVs, additional towels, blankets, luxury sheets, and many starter supplies. Why go the additional step? Because we care about your comfort and want you and your family to have fun.

Your day starts when we let our renters use the pool, outside grille areas, and garden during the cleaning turnover day after the previous renters leave, so you can picnic, sit by the pool, or visit the beach and not lose any precious vacation time. Not many others in OBX will do that for you. Inside, persons of all ages and abilities can use the elevator to carry groceries and move wheelchairs to access all floors. We freshly increased our internet speed up to 1 gig for better streaming and are providing our own subscription to Netflix and YouTube TV, with games for PlayStation IV and Wii in the theater room.

On the 3rd floor, you will find the Great Room with broad vistas, cathedral ceilings, and a buttery yellow leather sectional with two seating areas for reading and watching tv. The fireplace is available year round. The dining room seats 12 with 4 additional seats at the bar. The kitchen is supplied with good pots and pans for those family meals, two dishwashers, plenty of dishes, and so much more. This floor also has a half bath and the main King Ensuite bedroom with a chair, TV, and a sizable full bathroom boasting a hottub tub as well as a shower. On the deck are a table and chairs for picnicking and calming chairs with marvelous vistas of the ocean.

The mid-level (2nd floor) is primarily bedrooms and a den for relaxing with each room having a streaming TV. There are two King Ensuite bedrooms, a Queen handicapped-accessible bedroom with a full wheelchair-accessible bathroom across the hall, a Twin Ensuite bedroom, and a washer-dryer near the elevator. The den with deck access can be used as a separate sleeping area with a pull-out Queen couch bed with linens included. The mid-level has two decks front and back with new rockers, tables, and chairs.

The 1st floor has a King, a Queen, and Twin bedrooms sharing a full bathroom. You will find another full laundry room, pool table and couch, a kitchenette, and a humongous TV in the recreational room. A colorful theater room has a pull-out Queen couch bed with linens and three chairs, as well as a kids toy and book area. Each bedroom, rec room, and theater room has streaming TVs. You can access the pool and grille areas from the rec room.

The outside is made for fun and relaxing. Our heated salt-water pool is 16’ x 32’ surrounded by new loungers, tables, and chairs. There is a propane grille and griddle and picnic tables. In the shade garden is a firepit with tons of comfortable seating. Lush landscaping in front will keep you cool outside with a huge grass area in back of the pool for ball games. There are plenty of bicycles for all age groups in the carport as well as another dryer. It is a 3-min short walk down Dolphin Street two blocks to the beach access; check our Google Maps location because our hosting site sometimes mistakenly says we are a 3-4 min drive instead of a walk to the beach.

We have a dedicated cleaner that has been with us for 12 years and knows the home well. Cleaning an 8 BR home that is nearly 5,000 sq ft especially after a enormous group or event takes time to do well, so frankly we usually are not able to offer early check-in. We use the entire time between renters to clean, which is more than property management companies that clean multiple homes a day can reliably do. That said, our cleaner will let renters in to use the upper floors if cleaning properly requires more time after 4 pm.

We are proud to be hands-on owners and will respond to your questions and concerns promptly before and during your stay. Before booking, you will need to use the "contact owner" option to ask questions online. We will have only 24 hours to complete a booking request. After booking we look forward to talking with you when we are given contact information.

Please note that a signed rental agreement with the owner is required before booking is final. Guests staying overnight also must be identified in the rental agreement and agree to the rental agreement and guide book, per new NC law. During high season, units are weekly Sunday to Sunday in 2024 but flexible off-season except holidays. As is customary with many OBX beach homes now, there are 2 outdoor cameras facing the driveway and front door. No camera is ever inside or in back of home at the pool for your privacy. This is also a stringently pet-complimentary home due to allergies and same day turnovers limiting cleaning time for pet dander/fur. Our refund policy is firm, meaning you get a 100% refund if you cancel at least 60 days before check-in.

Our top Vacation rental tips:

Find your perfect rental home:

• June, July, and August are high season in Corolla. To find the best value, change your vacation week to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer warmer temperatures, , and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Currituck vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property managers offer discounts for veterans. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers often offer renters an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Often, rental management companies supply Currituck area visitors guides which will include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Currituck area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Narrow your Search:

• Start by having your group commit to date ranges and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Sea Forever--Oceanside 8-10 BR; Pool, Hot Tub, Elevator, Gardens! has 8 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Currituck rental home search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is regularly available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, call the property manager before reserving the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to determine which bed configuration is best for your trip.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction or event? Use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. .
• Some rentals allow pets, but others don't. Acceptable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the property manager about allowable breeds and types before booking.

Tips for your stay:

• Take a copy of the host's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property.
• At Check-in, note any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable visitors bothering your peaceful neighborhood. Use the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can often help. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your rental property while you are out! Don't let burglars spoil your holiday.
• Re-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed all belongings at departure. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. 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 your family have a terrific vacation? Most rental websites make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your rental and/or property manager was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
