Description

Brand New Construction for 2023! Be one of the first guests to vacation in this modern duplex!

Run, Hide, and Play Your Heart Away at This Charming Home and Community
You and your family’s new hideaway awaits. Correction, your family’s BRAND NEW hideaway awaits! ‘Sonoma’s Hideaway’ is an opulent 3 bedroom, 3.5 bath home within the new Beach Club at Whalehead – stocked with in-home amenities while residing in a beautifully-preserved beach town and community. One of the many perks you’ll enjoy after arriving at Sonoma’s Hideaway is access to the largest villa within the Beach Club at Whalehead’s gated community! If you’re more of a saltwater lover, then you’ll be happy to hear the beach is just a few steps away from the property! 

Sonoma’s Hideaway is close to shopping, delicious restaurants, and fun attractions for the entire family like an arcade, bike rentals, wild horse tours, and much more! Since they’re right across the street, why not hop over to the historic Corolla lighthouse and wildlife conservation park? It’s a must-see for NC history buffs and wildlife lovers! While we always encourage guests to spend time on the majestic Corolla beaches, when you book a stay at Sonoma’s Hideaway you’ll also have many other options to fill your days. Take a dip in the community pool (just steps from your front door), grab some shade under a cabana, work up a sweat in the community gym, then grab a bite to refuel from the on-site food hut! And don't let looking for an EV charger stop you from exploring the best of the Outer Banks - this home comes equipped with an EV charger* to use during your stay so you can be on the go whenever you want!

The ground level offers the main entry point and holds all the common areas: a large living area with a sleeper sofa, a dining area, and a kitchen that will perfectly accommodate preparing your favorite coastal cuisines! The level also holds a convenient half bath.

When you’re ready to call it a night, head upstairs and find all 3 bedrooms; 2 master king bedrooms with en suite baths, and a master queen bedroom with an en suite bath. You can sip your coffee in the mornings or just step outside at any point during the day to feel the Corolla sea breeze from the top-level deck. There’s also a loft area with an additional sleeper sofa – so everyone in your group can retire comfortably after a day of play under the Corolla sun! 

Corolla: A Hub of Local Shopping, Attractions, History, and Fun – All Rolled Into One
When you book Sonoma's Hideaway, you’ll be close to local landmarks, great food, and plenty of modern conveniences! A Food Lion is conveniently located only 3.5 miles south (7-minute drive) – a quick trip for all your grocery and supply needs. After picking up your items, head over to Cosmos’s Pizza for a bite to eat. Spend the day shopping in the nearby Corolla Light Shopping Center with plenty of dining and bar options for when you get hungry or thirsty, including Uncle Ike’s Sandbar & Grill, the Corolla Cantina, and the infamous Sanderling Resort—just to name a few! ! Located right across the street, the history buffs in your group will love exploring the historic Whalehead Club and the Currituck Maritime Museum or climbing to the top of the Currituck Lighthouse for an amazing 360-degree view of the surrounding town. To get a true Corolla experience, don’t forget to take a safari-style wild horse tour where you can watch the Corolla wild mustangs roam the 4x4 beaches. No matter how you choose to spend your vacation, Sonoma's Hideaway is the perfect home for making memories!

This is my second stay at Sonoma's Hideaway. The first was before the whole complex was completed and then again last week. All I can say is that if your going to stay in Corolla, this is the place. Close to the beach and walking distance to everything you would want to do at the beach. We did drive to the bumper cars and shopping at Tim Buck2 but other than that we left our car in the garage and enjoyed our vacation.

We stayed at Sonoma's Hideaway in October. Although it was the off season, the weather was still warm. This beach house was perfect! Brand new and in a location within a very short walk to the all the Corolla attractions such as the light house, Whalehead, park and right next to restaurants. The pool in the development was still open and we had a wonderful time walking and sitting on the beach. The house was right on beach access, which is rare for Corolla. The house was beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. Can't wait to go back next year!

This was beautiful condo. I was impressed with the layout, 3 nice size bedrooms with full baths each upstairs, and a sitting room. First floor featured a nice size kitchen with island, dining area living room, and small patio area outside. The beach was with in walking distance, a nice view of the Currituck Lighthouse across the way, & walking distance to a little shopping center. Quiet area to unwind & take in the beautiful scenery.

This was a great rental for my family... close to the beach, quiet little community and right across the road from the Corolla Lighthouse. The rooms were spacious and clean, and each has its own bathroom. The kitchen and game cabinet were both well-stocked and kept everyone happy and occupied. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone!

My friends and I spent a fabulous week at Sonoma’s Hideaway. This townhouse is perfectly appointed. The downstairs living area, with family room, dining area and spectacular kitchen, are brand new and completely equipped. The upstairs has three lovely bedrooms, each with its own private bath. An additional tv area, with a convertible sofa , tv and chest of drawers, with a great workspace, add to the functionality. Reliable Wi-Fi operates throughput the house. The community pool has numerous lounge chairs, and well equipped cabanas are available for rent. Located a short walk from the beach as well as restaurants, ice crean store and sun dries, makes this a very convenient location. It is a short walk to the lighthouse and a lovely park. I cannot give this home a more rave review.

Corolla's Hidden Gem

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this exceptional beach house, and it exceeded every expectation. From the moment I stepped through the door, I was greeted by a sense of tranquility and luxury that set the tone for a truly unforgettable vacation. The interior was tastefully decorated, combining modern amenities with a cozy beachy charm. The well-equipped kitchen, comfortable bedrooms, and spacious living areas ensured that every moment spent indoors was as enjoyable as those spent on the pristine sandy beach just steps away. The attention to detail and the impeccable maintenance of the property truly reflect the care and dedication of the hosts. This beach house is a hidden gem, and I can't wait to return for another 5-star experience.

We stayed at Sonoma's Hideaway for a Girl's Only beach trip in August and had an absolutely wonderful experience. The home is beautifully decorated, the kitchen had everything we needed - and then some. Upstairs has 3 Master Bedrooms, each with their own bathroom - HUGE bonus. Upstairs T.V./lounge area came in very handy for the intermittent business calls that we can't seem to get away from - even on vacation. LOL. Nice work space, comfy seating. A short walk to the beach made it easy to come back for lunch/drinks and return back to our beach paradise. Community also had a nice pool with cabana's too! 10 Stars

FAQ

What do all the different locations mean?

There are two (2) roads running north/south on the Outer Banks. The "Beach Road" (NC 12) is a 2-lane road with a speed limit of 35 MPH. The "Bypass" (US 158) is a 5-lane road with speed limits 45-50 MPH. 

 

Please note: The Bypass is incredibly busy during the summer season on the Outer Banks. Seaside Vacations advises our guests to please take safety precautions when traveling on the Bypass. If you must cross the Bypass on foot, please make sure to do so at designated pedestrian crosswalks - never using the center turn lane as a stopping point.

 

Oceanfront - An oceanfront home has no homes or buildable lots located between it and the ocean. The distance between the home and the ocean may vary. 

 

Semi-Oceanfront - Semi-oceanfront homes are located one lot back from the ocean and may or may not require crossing the road. Children always will need assistance to cross any road. The rental may or may not have a home between it and the beach. The distance to the water, beach accesses, and views vary.  

 

Oceanside - These homes are located east of Highway 158. These homes have two or more homes between them and the ocean. These homes may or may not require crossing a road, and may or may not have an ocean view. The distance to the ocean varies. 

 

Soundside - These homes are located west of Highway 158 from Southern Shores to Nags Head and west of Highway 12 from Southern Shores to Corolla. The distance to the sound and views vary. Some homes may not have direct access to the sound (soundside homes in the village of Duck do not have direct access to the sound).  

 

Soundfront - These properties front the sound with no homes or lots in between. The distance to the sound, access to the sound and the view vary. Sunsets can be gorgeous! 

Do you offer any travel insurance? 

We offer travel insurance through Red Sky Travel Insurance. We highly recommend a travel insurance plan, especially since the Outer Banks is so prone to hurricanes. The travel insurance plan is priced affordably and covers a variety of issues that could impact your vacation should unforeseen circumstances occur. As they say on TV, “Life comes at you fast.” Most notably would be a mandatory evacuation due to a hurricane. Here are a few other things covered by travel insurance: sickness, injury or death of you or a family member, business partner, or traveling companion, the insured’s principal residence being made uninhabitable by fire, flood, vandalism, or burglary, involuntary termination of employment, military duty, etc.

 

If you would like to have specific questions answered, please call RedSky Travel Insurance at (866) 889-7409 or visit www.suntrippreserver.com (policy coverage information).

 

Remember, in order to have coverage due to a named hurricane, a travel insurance plan cannot be added after a tropical storm becomes a “named hurricane.” We tell you this because it could be very costly to wait. You would have to contact Red Sky Travel Insurance for specific details.

Do I have to pay any taxes on my rental? 

Unfortunately, the tax man doesn’t take vacations. Obviously, we do not set the tax rates and we only collect the taxes for the county. If your rental home is in Currituck County (Corolla), the tax is 12.75%. If your home is in Duck, Southern Shores, Kitty Hawk, Kill Devil Hills, or Nags Head, the tax is 12.75%.

I don’t see rates for next year. When will these be available?

We publish rates for the following year in spring/summer of the current year. You may reserve the home by paying the first half of the rent or by setting up payments with our Vacation Layaway Program. If you don't see rates or availability for a home online yet, give us a call and we can place a hold on the home for you. 

What/where is Club Seaside?

Club Seaside is an exclusive program consisting of complimentary events and discounts on popular Outer Banks activities that are exclusive to Seaside Vacations guests. Click on Club Seaside to obtain more information including schedules, contact information and to make reservations for each activity.

*Some events include a small fee.

Are linens and towels provided? 

Linens and towels are provided for ALL of the homes in our vacation rental home program. 

 

Towel sets are also provided. There are enough towel sets for the number the house sleeps.

 

One bath towel, one hand towel and one washcloth per person is provided. The towels and linens are placed on each bed in the home. One bath mat per bathroom is also provided. (Towels are not freshened daily.) Two potholders, one dish towel, and one dishcloth are provided and are placed on the kitchen counter prior to your arrival.

 

We do offer extra sets of both towels and linens at an additional charge. For prices and to place an order, contact a Vacation Specialist at (866) 884-0267.

 

Please Note: Beds are not made prior to your arrival. Linens are provided for them and are placed on their respective beds. 

Does my property have internet access and how is the WiFi? 

Most of our properties do offer internet access. Please check your property's website description to determine what type of internet service (if any) is available. If your home doesn’t provide this service, there are many free WiFi hotspots all over the Outer Banks. 

 

Wifi is normally very good, however, being in a remote area there are occasional unexpected outages. In those events, we will do everything in our power to get service restored as quickly as possible, but we would recommend bringing a hotspot as a backup plan if wifi is a necessity for your family.

 

Below is the lowest broadband speed for Dare County's internet providers:

 

Spectrum: 50MB
Century Link: 10MB

What are your policies on bringing a pet? 

Most dog friendly homes allow two (2) mature, house-trained dogs (75-pound limit). Dogs are not allowed in any rental home unless otherwise indicated. Cats and other animals are not permitted. A $160 fee (plus tax) per dog per week is added to the rental amount. Dogs (and any other animal) are not allowed in pools, hot tubs or spas. Tenants are responsible for any damage incurred by their dog, as this type of damage is not covered under our Security Deposit Waiver Fee. Owners of dogs at non-dog homes will be subject to a $200 unauthorized pet fee and may be evicted without a refund. 

Please be aware that all of our beaches have leash laws.

Our vacation home has a pool. Can we have the pool heated? 

Pool heat is available with some of our homes typically between April-June and September-October. There is an additional charge for pool heat and this charge varies by home.

 

Please remember that most pool heaters will only heat the water 5 to 8 degrees above the outside air temperatures. For example, if the air temperature is only 60 degrees, the pool water will likely be no warmer than 68 degrees. Pool heat does not give a “hot tub” effect, it merely prolongs the pool swimming season.

What time is check-in? 

Please know that we want to get all of our guests into their vacation home as soon as we can. Our check-in time begins at 5:00 p.m., as the houses become available and are released by Housekeeping and Maintenance. We will be happy to check you in as soon as the cleaners/inspectors give us the "OK." Again, please know that our goal is to get you on your way, enjoying your vacation, as soon as we can.

I have keyless entry. Do I still have to come to the office?

Our keyless entry service allows you to go straight to the home on check-in day, any time after 5:00 p.m.! In addition, when checking out, you may head straight home (skipping our office).

Do you offer early check-in? 

We do offer early check-in for homes with 1-5 bedrooms, but we do have a limited number available each week. Please call us and request an early check-in at least one week in advance. The cost for early check-in is $125, plus tax. Early check-in is at 2:00 p.m. Unfortunately, we cannot offer this service on homes with 6 or more bedrooms.  

What are your check-out cleaning requirements?

Check-out is at 9:00 a.m. on the day of departure. Cleaning crews arrive at the home at 9:00 a.m.; your prompt departure is appreciated. 

All keys are to be returned to our office upon departure. (Keyless entry guests do not have to stop by the office to check out).

Please leave the home tidy by completing the following items:

  • Remove only the fitted/flat sheets from all beds and leave them piled at the foot of the bed
  • Clean out the refrigerator and leave the refrigerator/freezer settings on medium
  • Place all trash in the cans provided or in a nearby dumpster. Move trash cans/recycle bins to the edge of the street the night before you leave. Make sure all trash is placed INSIDE of the cans, or the trash will not be picked up (Pick-up is done prior to dawn.)
  • Please wash and put away all dishes or place them in the dishwasher and begin the cleaning cycle
  • Turn the thermostats to 75 degrees (summer) and 55 degrees (winter)
  • Please turn off all inside and outside lights
  • Leave grills, furniture, and accessories as you found them
  • Remove toys/trash from the pool area
  • Make sure the hot tub cover is secure
  • Make sure the propane tank has been shut off for all gas grills
  • If you have rented a pet-friendly home, please be sure you have cleaned up any pet waste from the premises
  • Please clean any and all grills using the grill brush provided
  • If any member of your party has smoked outside, please be sure all cigarette butts have been picked up from the grounds
  • Check closets, drawers and under beds for personal items
  • If you logged into a smart device or streaming program with your personal login information, be sure to log out
  • Please make sure you close and secure all windows and doors and also have someone check the security of all doors and windows from outside the home.

Can you drive on the beach in the Outer Banks? 

Beach driving is allowed on several places in the Outer Banks but permissions vary by town. Driving is allowed year-round in Corolla/4x4 Carova Beach Area north of the paved road but only allowed south of that point between October 1 and April 30 and parking permits are required in-season. Driving is allowed on the Cape Hatteras National Seashore at designated access ramps and with a permit only. Driving in Kill Devil Hills and Nags Head is permitted with a permit between October 1 and April 30 at designated access points. All 4x4 access areas are subject to change due to nesting wildlife or impending weather conditions at each town's discretion.

Which Outer Banks beaches allow bonfires?

Gathering around a beach bonfire is the perfect way to spend your evening. On the Outer Banks, bonfires are allowed on the beach in Nags Head, on Hatteras island and on Ocracoke Island under certain conditions and with a permit. Bonfires are prohibited on the beaches of Corolla, Duck, Southern Shores, Kitty Hawk and Kill Devil Hills. Learn more about having bonfires on the OBX.

What are the Outer Banks wild horses?

The Outer Banks Wild Horses (also known as the Corolla Wild Mustangs or Banker Mustangs) are a herd of wild horses who live in Northern Corolla and are descendants of horses brought to the "New World" by Spanish explorers. Banker Mustangs can be spotted roaming the beach, playing in the waves, and grazing on native vegetation. These mustangs, although docile in nature and beautiful to watch from afar, are still wild and should never be approached, touched or fed. The herd is managed and protected by the Corolla Wild Horse Fund. Learn more about the OBX Wild Horses.

What is the trash collection schedule?

Please click here to find the days of the week that trash collections will take place for each town.

 

Bag all trash and place it in the home's outdoor trash receptacles with the lids tightly closed.

 

Sanitation Cart Placement: To ensure that your trash and recycling cans are emptied, they must be placed out at the edge of the roadway the day before the scheduled collection service. Trash must be inside cans and the lid must be closed. The following cannot be placed into trash cans and will not be picked up: Oil, propane, paint, charcoal, yard waste, construction debris, or hazardous waste. Trash or recycling placed outside of or on top of the cans cannot be collected. Cans must be removed from the edge of the roadway and placed next to a building as soon as possible on the same day of collection. (Please put trash in the black and brown trash cans.)

What is Beach Nourishment?

Beach nourishment is the process of pumping sand onto an eroding shoreline to widen the existing beach. Sources of sand may include a nearby sandbar, a dredged source (such as an inlet or waterway), or an offshore borrow site along the ocean floor. The widened shoreline provides increased defense from coastal storms and beach erosion, protecting property, communities, and infrastructure that are located along the coast.

 

While the Outer Banks coastline is beautiful, it is also very fragile. Storms, high winds and tidal changes all contribute to beach erosion. To restore and preserve our fragile coastline, Dare County and the towns of Duck, Kitty Hawk, Southern Shores, Kill Devil Hills and Nags Head have implemented important beach nourishment projects important that are critical to the future of our communities.

 

We apologize in advance for any inconvenience this causes and are confident you understand the importance and necessity of this project so you can continue to return and enjoy the Outer Banks beaches for many years to come. We hope you will choose to make the best of your vacation should you find your stay impacted by the beach nourishment project.

Are There Cameras or Security Devices at my Property?

Some homeowners may have security devices, like cameras outside the home or noise monitoring devices inside, to help protect the property from things like crime, over-occupancy, or damage. By signing the rental agreement, you’re acknowledging that these security measures might be in place to keep the property safe from theft, unauthorized access, or damage.

 

We ask that guests don’t tamper with, unplug, or cover any of these devices. If any security device is taken offline, a $250 fine may be applied.

 

We value your privacy and want to ensure that your stay is both safe and comfortable. If you have any questions regarding security features at your rental home, feel free to reach out to our team.
