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 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 savor together in the Dining Area, with seating for 6, or out on the Mid-Level Covered deck with magnificant 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. 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 gorgeous 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! When you're not appreciating a meal at one of the many great eateries in the area, step into the past by exploring the historic Whalehead Club or climbing to the top of the Currituck Lighthouse for an extraordinary 360-degree view of the surrounding town. There's no such thing as a boring day when you stay at Eureka!

How to book the best Corolla rental home experience:
Sticking to your spending budget:
- Booking your vacation home in Fall or Spring months is one of our best tips for saving money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Currituck vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
- Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
- Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your vacationing group qualifies for a special rate.
- Property managers usually offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
- Often, property management companies supply Currituck area visitors guide magazines which will include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local companies, or through a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.
How to select the perfect rental home in the Currituck area:
- Start by having your group select date ranges and a spending budget.
- Decide how many beds and the configuration your family requires. 1686 Eureka * 50ft to Beach * has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Currituck rentals search.
- Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is commonly accessible online. Otherwise, email the property owner before you book the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms.
- Is your group looking for unique amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters.
- Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental
- Traveling with pets? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Pet fees or costs applied to your agreement.
Considerations for your stay:
- Get the host's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property.
- At Check-in, document any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all coorespondence.
- Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
- Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Frequently, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules is the right thing to do.
- Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
- Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are out, just like you would at home.
- Re-check every room of the property to confirm that you've packed all belongings at departure. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out 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.
- Leave a review! Property managers rely on great ratings to drive future bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
