Welcome to Sea Forever, one of the premier vacation beach homes in Corolla, Outer Banks! Guests adore 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 En-Suite bedroom with a chair, TV, and a enormous 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 is primarily bedrooms and a den for relaxing with each room having a streaming TV. There are two King En-Suite bedrooms, a Queen handicapped-accessible bedroom with a full wheelchair-accessible bathroom across the hall, a Twin En-Suite, 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 giant 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 sizable 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 huge 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, an outdoor camera facing the driveway and front door is active. 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.

Booking the best Currituck rental home experience:

When to book a Currituck rental & When to go:

• Reserve your Currituck rental home in Fall or Spring to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months.
• The sooner your group can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best properties are reserved early. Reserving your rental property up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your vacation home.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guides have discounts for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Selecting and booking the perfect Currituck rental home:

• Choose a group leader, select your vacation dates, and select a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Sea Forever--Oceanside 8 BR Pool, Hot Tub, Elevator, Gardens has 8 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Currituck vacation rental search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is almost always accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, call the property manager before booking the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds. You will need to work out which bed configuration is suitable for your vacation group.
• If there's a specific Currituck destination you long to visit, keep an eye out for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional pet fees or costs could be applied to your invoice.

Advice for a fantastic stay:

• We recommend storing the owner's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To make certain damages are not linked to your family's stay, inspect for any problem areas during arrival. Contact the host right away to report your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Be respectful. Often times, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Keep the property locked while you are away! Don't let thieves ruin your family vacation.
• Just prior to departing, complete a walk-through to make sure you haven't forget anything. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a terrific time? Many rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property management company was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
