It's the little things that make a home so special. If you're looking for a modest beach home close to the ocean, you'll shout “Eureka” when you visit this comfortable chalet-style Ocean Sands home.

Eureka offers a great layout inside with a loft and a splendid ocean view. Surround yourself with family and friends while calming on one of the two levels of furnished decking, or getaway to your own private bedroom for a little rest and relaxation. With a bright and cheery kitchen and living area, and pops of color throughout, it's painless to ease into a vacation state of mind at this breezy vacation home. Ideal for oceanside retreats that are close to the beach, spending a vacation at this Corolla hideaway is always a “Eureka!” moment.

This means that surf and sand are never too far, making this the ideal spot for a beach-centered vacation filled with early morning walks along the water with the sunrise and hunting for ghost grabs in the evening as the stars make their way into the brilliantly clear nighttime sky.
On the main Middle Level, savor a cozy Living Area with beach-themed furnishings and aesthetically pleasing decor around a enormous Flat Screen TV that makes movie nighttime with the family a given. Eureka will feel like your home away from home as you whip up a delicious meal in the modern Kitchen to appreciate together in the Dining Area, with seating for 6, or out on the Mid-Level Covered deck with marvelous vistas of the dunes. Just imagine yourself waking up in the morning to the sounds of the waves and the smell of the surf as the birds welcome in the day with the rising sun. Get some rest in the Double Bedroom and settle in the kiddos in the Bedroom with a Bunk Bed Set and a Twin Platform Bed with its own Twin Size Trundle.
For some additional privacy, make your way up the loft with a table ideal for board games or catching up on work and comfortable Full Sized Futon that creates the ideal place to curl up with a book while the sunlight filters in through the windows. Near the loft is a Queen Master Bedroom with a Private Bathroom, making this the ideal hideaway from some tranquility and peaceful while on vacation.

Booking your vacation at Eureka today may be your best idea yet!
A Stay in Corolla is Always a Great Idea
You'll relish in the local history one day and relax on the broad, unobstructed beaches the next when you stay in the handsome town of Corolla! On the northern beaches, you can go on a 4x4 tour to discover the Corolla Wild horses in their natural habitat and then stop by the Wild Horse Fund museum to learn about their origin. For another adventure, stop by the Corolla Adventure Park to test your endurance on an aerial obstacle course. Kids will adore the go-kart racing at Corolla RaceWay. Spend the day shopping by the close by TimBuck II Shopping Village with plenty of dining options for when you get hungry such as Mike Dianna's Grille Room, La Dolce Vita, North Banks Restaurant & Raw Bar, Big Buck's Homemade Ice Cream, and Mama Easley's—just to name a few!

Strategies to get the perfect Currituck vacation property experience:
Finding your best deal:
- Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
- Summertime is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. Booking your Currituck vacation home in Spring or Fall is a good way to save money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable properties. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Currituck vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
- Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your family qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
- Booking websites usually offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
- Look for your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guide magazines have money saving offers on nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.
Planning, selecting, and booking your prefectvacation home:
- Choose your vacation week and maximum budget.
- Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. 1686 Eureka * 50ft to Beach * has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
- Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is often accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, call the property manager before you book the property. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds.
- Traveling with pets? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your agreement! Extra fees or might be applied to your contract.
- Are you visiting for a single event? Use a map search to find nearby rentals.
- Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. .
More considerations for your visit:
- Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Save the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
- Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
- Lock your rental while you're out. Protect your property!
- Document any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately contact the owner. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are helpful if damages are assessed.
- Be a good neighbor. Often, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
- Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often help. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
- On check-out day, take a final walk-through to make sure you have not leave anything behind. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
- Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
- Did your family have a wonderful time? Most rental management companies make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental and/or property manager was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
