Welcome to Sea Forever, one of the premier vacation beach homes in Corolla, Outer Banks! Guests appreciate 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 newly 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 Ensuite 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 fantastic vistas of the ocean.

The mid-level (2nd floor) is primarily bedrooms and a den for relaxing with each room having a streaming TV. There are two King Ensuite bedrooms, a Queen handicapped-accessible bedroom with a full wheelchair-accessible bathroom across the hall, a Twin Ensuite bedroom, 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 supplied. 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, there are 2 outdoor cameras facing the driveway and front door. 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.

How to get the best Corolla vacation property experience:

How to get the best value:

• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Booking your Currituck vacation rental in Spring or Fall is a good way to save on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Currituck vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your family.
• Property managers usually offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Currituck area visitors guide magazines that include special offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Currituck area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Planning and choosing the right Currituck rental:

• To start, have your family agree to vacation dates and a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. Sea Forever--Oceanside 8-10 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.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts is usually available online. If not, email the property owner before reserving the rental. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to determine what configuration is best for your vacation group.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional pet fees or charges applied to your agreement.
• Is your family looking for specific amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. .

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents a lot of problems.
• Lock your rental property while you are away! Don't let crooks spoil your family vacation.
• During arrival, make note of any damages to the property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Respect your neighbors. Frequently, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can usually help. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• At departure, complete a walk-through to make sure you have not leave anything behind. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise walking through with the host whenever possible. If the host isn't available, take pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a great stay? Most rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
