2025 Updates: Ocean Shores will now be dog-friendly for the 2025 season!

Gorgeous Semi-Oceanfront Home in Corolla
This 8-Bedroom, 9.5-Bathroom home in Corolla has everything you need for a luxurious Outer Banks vacation that you and your family group will be talking about for years. Located in the quiet Ocean Sands Community, Ocean Shores offers 3 Full-Size Refrigerators, 2 Washers/Dryers, 2 Living Areas with premium furniture, a Game Room, a Theater Room, and an Elevator, all meant to ensure that your vacation is spent in relaxation and quiet comfort. Enjoy breathtaking ocean views and gentle ocean breezes from one of the many decks and let Ocean Shores whisk you away to your own Outer Banks escape where the only things that matter are your loved ones and the sound of the sea nearby. And since the Ocean Sands Community Walkway to the beach is just steps away from your front door, the excitement of the surf, sand, and sun is yours for the taking.

When you make your way to this beautiful home, you’ll find plenty of parking for everyone in your family group and multiple ocean-facing decks that are perfect for early cups of morning coffee and brilliant sunrises over the water. Engage in some friendly competition in the Game Room with a Pool Table, Shuffle Board, and Arcade Games to keep everyone busy and having a good time! Relax in the Ground-Level Living Area with a Flat-Screen TV and access to the outdoors. Make sure to get some snacks from the Wet Bar with a Full-Size Refrigerator, Ice Maker, and Wine Cooler to keep everyone satisfied. A nearby Hallway Bathroom and Washer/Dryer ensures clean comfort throughout the week. And when you’re ready for movie night, head on down to the Theater Room where up to 12 people can relax around their favorite movie for a truly luxurious vacation experience.

For cozy sleep and quiet rest, find your home away from home on the Middle Level with 5 beautiful bedrooms. Choose from one of the 3 King Master Bedrooms, the Bunk Master Bedroom with 2 sets of Bunk Beds, or the Twin Master Bedroom with 2 Twin Beds. Each of the bedrooms boasts its own Flat Screen TV and sliders out onto one of the many decks, ensuring that everyone not only has plenty of space to spread out and get comfortable but can equally enjoy the brilliance of the surrounding area. For those mid-week washes, you’ll also find a second Washer/Dryer on this level as well as the warm, bubbly Hot Tub outside on the Mid-Level Deck, perfect for cool evenings spent relishing in the salty ocean air.

On the top level of this home, you’ll find a tastefully decorated, spacious Living Area with expansive windows that let in the best of the shoreline’s natural lighting. Step out onto the Furnished Deck for a sunrise over the ocean with cool breezes and brilliant colors that you won’t find anywhere else. Lounge back inside on the cozy furniture and enjoy your favorite shows on the Flat-Screen TV or put on some music for that perfect ambiance. Whip up some fresh, local North Carolina seafood in the massive Gourmet Kitchen with 2 Full-Size Refrigerators and a large Breakfast Island, with stool seating for 6. Enjoy your meal together in the spacious Dining Area at the table which has seating for 14 and brilliant ocean views while you dine. When it’s time to rest up after a fun and exciting day of exploring the Outer Banks, enjoy your evening interlude in one of the 3 King Master Bedrooms, each with Private Bathrooms and access to the Deck where you can enjoy your evening in private contemplation as you watch the stars appear in the evening sky.

Beautiful Town with Plenty to Do
Corolla is the perfect getaway. This small beach town allows you to get away from the hustle and bustle of a big city but the local attractions and great restaurants offer plenty to do for the whole family. Conveniently located 5 miles away from Historic Corolla, your family will love touring the Whalehead Club and visiting the Currituck Beach Lighthouse. For a real one-of-a-kind experience, take a tour of the 4x4 beach area just north of your home to catch a glimpse of the Corolla Wild Horses. After touring the area, satisfy your hunger with some pork BBQ and ribs at Corolla Village Bar-B-Que or a French Dip and Club Sub at Bacchus Wine & Beer Bistro. If you’re craving seafood, try Upside Restaurant & Bar for spiced shrimp, crab cakes, fresh local tuna, and a water view. With breathtakingly beautiful views of the Atlantic Ocean, easy access to unspoiled stretches of shoreline, 8 spacious bedrooms, and plenty of amenities, Ocean Shores is everything you could hope for and more for your barrier island paradise vacation. Book your stay today and discover why the Outer Banks is one of the country’s top vacation destinations.

Reviews

Great House for a Large Group

Reviewed on 2023-07-16 by Paul M
5
We had 18 people in our group (including an 18 month old) and Ocean Shores served our purposes beautifully.The home itself has plenty of room! The top level, with its open floor plan, is ideal. Ton of room to spread out, relax, eat, have a cocktail, play games, etc. Easy access to the front and back decks with very nice (not cheap) outdoor furniture. The kitchen has 2 coffee makers and a Keurig. There are lots of pots, pans, dishes, more than enough silverware, coffee cups and glasses! Some additional cutlery would be helpful (such as a cerated bread knife, cheese knife, etc.) as well as a larger cutting board. The two large refrigerators are absolutely great. The only issue was the ice makers on these provided very little ice, even after overnight. But the ice maker on the bottom level helped make up for this. Loved the gas stove! Oh, very glad for two dishwashers!Middle level is nice with the common area surrounded by the bedrooms…all with deck access.Lower level has a nice rec room with an additional full-sized refrigerator and a seperate ice maker, as I mentioned. The theatre room is really nice, large and with great seating but we didn’t really use it…we were there for the BEACH and outdoors! The rec area leads out to the pool/patio area, and this is another wonderful area to gather and enjoy with nice lounges chairs, comfortable seating and a large screen TV.The sound system on the top level (front and back decks) and on the patio level is something we enjoyed very much - we have music on constantly so this turned out great for us.Although the location of this house may be not be oceanfront it’s the next best thing! Directly across the street where you get ocean views from the top decks, can hear the sounds of the waves crashing as well as easy access to the beach! SO CONVENIENT!Lastly, Seaside is a great property management company. Great customer service, very courteous, quick to respond to questions, responsive to a minor issue (and quickly resolved). Also, we did take advantage of the VayK credit and this worked out nicely and conveniently.

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, Nags Head, Manteo, or any village on Hatteras Island, 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 ProgramIf 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

  • 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

  • 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.

 

Seaside Vacations cannot predict when or where these jobs will begin or how long they will last. Since we have no control over these situations, no compensation or moves to other properties are possible.
