For the Ocean Lover at Heart
Sea Spirit is really all about the vistas—and believe us when we say they are unobstructed, unbelievable and memorable. Whether your heart is tied to the ocean or you just feel a sense of tranquility by the water, this elegant Corolla vacation rental awaits. With ocean vistas from multiple levels and a wooden walkway that takes you right to the beach, you'll be complimentary to spend your whole vacation admiring the pristine shoreline.

There is no shortage of parking in the long driveway and to make loading and unloading simple, two covered carports are available with dry entry into the ground-level. When you walk back from the beach, there are two outdoor showers available so you can rinse off the sand and move on to your next adventure. Inside, you'll find a sizable recreation room where you can lounge around or play a game of Ping Pong with your guests.

Upstairs on the middle level, you'll find the main entry and four well-appointed bedrooms that each appreciate direct access to a covered oceanfront deck with porch swing and bubbly hot tub—what could be more calming than that? A King Master Bedroom has an attached Full Bath with a tub/shower combo while another Master contains a Queen Bedroom and an attached Full Bath with a shower only. This bathroom also has access to the hall and can be used by the second Queen Bedroom. A bedroom with 2 Bunk Bed Sets is ideal for the kids and has access to another Full-sized Bathroom in the hallway that features a tub/shower combo. Located centrally between all four bedrooms is a convenient Laundry closet. Off of the covered deck, you'll also find the wooden walkway over the dunes taking you right to the ocean.

The top level is home to a striking and roomy great room with raised ceilings and upsized windows for optimal vistas. The space features a sunny living area with comfortable furnishings and a enormous TV, an ocean view dining area with seating for 8, and a well-supplied kitchen with a huge island that has bar seating for 4. You'll appreciate reading your favorite book in the raised sitting area which looks out directly over the sea. A convenient half bath is located adjacent to the living area. The final bedroom is also on this level—a extravagant Master King Suite with deck access, fantastic vistas, and an attached Full Bathroom with a double vanity, hottub tub, and shower. Step outside every morning for a stellar view of the sun rising over the ocean while you sip your morning coffee or step up to the crow's nest where expansive sky-high vistas can be adored in sweet serenity.

For the Adventurous Spirit
With a central Corolla location, guests will be just mins. away from a suite of top stores, eateries, and local attractions. Just a few mins. north, the history buffs in your group will adore exploring Whalehead Club and climbing the Currituck Beach Lighthouse. Consider booking a safari-style tour of the 4x4 beach area where you might spot a wild Corolla Mustang roaming through the waves. Just a couple miles south, the Timbuck II Shopping Center features dozens of local stores and fine eateries where you can sample everything from a juicy burger to the freshest seafood on the Outer Banks. Kids will appreciate racing go-karts at Corolla Raceway or trying their luck at the adjacent mini-golf course. Adults can head to the Currituck Golf Club to play on an 18-hole course designed by Reese Jones that consistently ranks among the best golf courses in the state. If you feel like taking a road trip, hop in the car and head south to discover the rest of the Outer Banks—the world is your oyster when you book Sea Spirit!

Strategies to get the perfect rental experience:

Sticking to your rental home budget:

• The earlier your group can book, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are booked very early. Reserving your rental 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation rental.
• Reserve your rental property in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Many property management companies supply Currituck area visitor guide magazines which include special deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Choose vacation week and max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. 1215 Sea Spirit * Oceanfront has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is usually available online. If not, reach out to the property manager before booking the property. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but some do not. Acceptable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the property management company about allowable breeds and types before booking.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction? Try a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental

Advice for a wonderful stay:

• Put the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the property when you are out, just like you would back home.
• Record any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately contact the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are beneficial if a dispute is filed.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often times, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Double-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all personal items at check-out. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property a final time and look for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take photos and video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a excellent time? Many rental managers make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your property and/or host was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct 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 comments.
