Eureka is Always a Bright Idea for a Sunny Beach Vacation
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. Only 50 feet from the beach via the boarded walkway, this home also features a wealth of community perks including tennis courts, a family-friendly neighborhood, and simple access to all of Corolla's favorite attractions. 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.
On the Ground Level of this adorable beach bungalow, take advantage of the Outdoor Shower that's ideal for rinsing off after a day at the beach, which is just 1 min. away! 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, appreciate a cozy Living Area with beach-themed furnishings and aesthetically pleasing decor around a sizable 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 savor together in the Dining Area, with seating for 6, or out on the Mid-Level Covered deck with exceptional 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 cozy 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. And when it's time for more ocean air and a calming cup of tea in the evening, head back outside to the Crow's Nest overlooking the dunes where you can breathe in the rejuvenating ocean air as you watch the moon emerge over the water. 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 beautiful 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!

Finding the best Currituck vacation rental experience:
When to reserve a Currituck rental & When to go:
- Summer months are high season in Corolla. To find the best value, try shifting your vacation to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer pleasant temperatures, , and greatly reduced traffic.
- In the Currituck area, The earlier your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation homes are booked early. Reserving your rental up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
- Owners sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
- Booking websites frequently offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
- Often, management companies supply Currituck area travel guides which include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or through a partnership 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.
Planning and choosing your prefect Currituck rental:
- First and foremost, have your family commit to trip dates and a spending budget.
- Decide how many beds and the configuration you need. 1686 Eureka * 50ft to Beach * has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Currituck rentals search.
- Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is almost always available on booking pages. If they are not listed, reach out to the property manager before reserving your rental. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches. You will need to determine which bed configuration is suitable for your vacation.
- Are you visiting for a specific event? If so, use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
- Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. .
- Remember to include your furry companions! 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. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement! Additional fees or costs applied to your agreement.
Tips to have a great stay:
- Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your phone.
- Record any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately send them to the owner. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be helpful if a dispute is filed.
- Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, elevator or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent quite a few concerns.
- Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious vacationers bothering your peaceful neighborhood. Apply the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and attractions you would have not otherwise known!
- Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
- Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the property when you are gone, just like you would back home.
- Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the property to make sure you've collected all personal belongings. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
- Record a video to document the condition of the property.
- Did you have a fantastic stay? Most rental management companies make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your property and/or property manager was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was amiss and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
