With 8 Bedrooms, 8 Full Bathrooms, and 2 Half Bathrooms, Groovin’ has everything you and your family could possibly need during your stay. Enjoy sophisticated, upscale dining in the Gourmet Kitchen and relax in the evenings in the two warm, bubbly Hot Tubs. Take advantage of the elevator with a window to get your luggage up to the rest of the home and don't forget to use the Kinnakeet Shores Community Amenities during your stay, meaning a freshwater dip in the Community Pool and a game of Tennis are just a few steps away. Take in breathtaking sunrises of the ocean from one of the three oceanside decks and enjoy an evening sunset over the sound from the loft. Once you’ve spent a week at Groovin’, you will never want to stay anywhere else.

Beginning on the Top Level of this gorgeous home, you’ll find a spacious Loft with a leaning bar overlooking the sound, additional dining area space, and a desk area that’s perfect for getting some peace and quiet to enjoy your favorite beach read or catch up on some emails. This is the perfect place to take in stunning views of the sunset over the sound with a cool drink and peace of mind. Bright colors and a tasteful interior design give this home a resort-style feel with all the privacy and spacious amenities of a luxurious Outer Banks vacation home.

As you make your way down to the 3rd level, walls of windows and high, cathedral ceilings welcome you, basking you in warm, oceanfront light and the bright, airy feel of the beach. Relax in the Main Living Area in one of the cozy couches or modern chairs with ocean views and plenty of unique, minimalist light fixtures curated for a calm, relaxing environment. Watch your favorite shows on the large Flat Screen TV on a rainy day and snuggle up around the Electric Fireplace during “shoulder season,” making any time of the year the perfect time to spend your Outer Banks vacation at Groovin.’ Whip up some fresh, local seafood in the Gourmet Kitchen with a commercial oven/range, sparkling quartz countertops, and plenty of prep space, including a prep sink and an ice maker, meaning your ideal vacation dining experience is just a culinary experience away. Catch a glimpse of the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse of the kitchen window and let your surroundings whisk you away to a place of ultimate Outer Banks relaxation. Eat together at the Counter Bar or the elegant Dining Area with views of the ocean just across the way. Step out onto the Oceanfront Sun Deck with your morning cup of coffee for blissful quiet sunrises over the sea. And when you’re ready to get some rest, unwind in the King Master Bedroom with its own Private Bathroom and access to the Oceanfront Sun Deck where cool ocean breezes and a night sky filled with stars wait for you just a few steps away.

Get some sleep on the 2nd level of this gorgeous oceanfront home where you’ll find another King Master Bedroom with a Private Bathroom, 2 Queen Master Bedrooms with Private Bathrooms, and a Bedroom with 2 Twin Beds that is ideal for giving the kids their own space while still keeping them close by. Enjoy quick and easy access to the Covered Oceanfront Deck where you can enjoy a private sunrise over the ocean, quiet evenings as you let the sounds of the sea lull you into a sense of peace, and comfortable seating as you enjoy incomparable ocean views. Rest your muscles after a day at the beach in the warm, bubbly Hot Tub as you listen to the sound of the waves from the privacy of your own deck! Two Washers and Dryers make laundry a breeze so you’ll never have to worry about what to wear.

Grab a ride on the Elevator down to the First Level where a spacious 2nd Living Area offers plenty of room for board games or an afternoon of planning your next day of exciting Outer Banks adventures. Enjoy a snack at the Wet Bar before stepping out onto the Covered Oceanfront Deck where you’ll find a 2nd warm, bubbly Hot Tub as well as cozy built-in seating and a wooden swing with direct views of the beach. Unwind to the sounds of the sea before heading back inside to get some rest in one of the 3 King Master Bedrooms, each with Private Bathrooms, that complete this floor. Take the outdoor steps down to the Ground Level where Built-In Bench Seating and a Grill Station await. Step directly out onto the beach when you’re ready to enjoy some surf, sand, and sun, and be sure to rinse off in the Outdoor Shower before prepping your fresh catch at the Fish Cleaning Station. The Kinnakeet Shores Community Amenities add an extra layer of fun to your vacation, offering a soundside Olympic-sized Pool, 2 Tennis Courts, and 69 acres of freshwater lakes.

Explore Historic Hatteras Island
If you’ve always wanted to get away from the busiest areas of the Outer Banks but still be within easy driving distance of local restaurants, gift shops, and landmarks, Avon is the perfect place for you to take your next vacation! Just a few miles down the road, you can go birdwatching and explore the marshes of the Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge or drive a few towns south to Buxton to climb the famous Cape Hatteras Lighthouse. The anglers in your group will love being so close to the Avon Pier where they can try their luck reeling in a big catch. To learn more about the area’s exciting history, stop by the Chicamacomico Life-Saving Station to learn about how water rescues were carried out long before modern technology. For a quick bite or tasty breakfast, order a made-from-scratch donut from The Dough Shack or drive down to the Orange Blossom Cafe for an apple ugly that’s definitely worth writing home about. For dinner, try a delicious seafood meal from Pangea Tavern or a burger from Bros. There are also dozens of local shops within easy driving distance so you can find that perfect souvenir to take home. With so many great places to visit, nearby towns to explore, and the ocean right in your backyard, you’ll never want to stay anywhere else once you’ve spent your vacation at Groovin’.

With Avon being additional 40 minutes south of Nags head it adds to the travel time but is worth every minute! 1 traffic light town with everything you need. The house was top of the line and had all amenities! Were a fishing famiky so most days were spent on the surf. A 20 second walk to yhe ocean. (Review previously published on VRBO.)

Absolutely Fabulous!

This beachfront property was super comfortable for five families staying together with their children. It was so nice for everyone to have their own bathroom and lots of hot water. In the morning we woke up to breathtaking sunrises with stunning views looking out from the large dining room table. The kitchen was one of the best equipped of any of the vacation homes we have ever rented. There were two dishwashers, two icemakers, two sinks, lots of silverware, utensils, plates, cups, glasses, pots and pans. The beds were super comfortable and had beautiful ocean views through the patio doors. The elevator was a wonderful amenity for the three 75+ seniors in our family and it made unloading and loading the cars easy. My son-in-laws thoroughly enjoyed their time in the hot tub. Movie night was great with the huge, large screen TV as we snuggled on one of the most comfortable sofas you could imagine. Every bedroom had a large screen TV with several streaming subscriptions included. When I was relaxing in the house having my lunch, I enjoyed looking out the window at my family enjoying the beach. About a mile away were my favorite stores for picking up extra supplies - Food Lion and Dollar Tree. Being this far out (50 minute drive from when we left Nags Head), there weren't a whole lot of restaurants close by, but they were sufficient and the meals we purchased out were good.I definitely would recommend this as a place for a great family vacation!

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 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.

 

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.

Does Seaside Vacations Provide Soap, Toilet Paper, Dish Soap, Laundry Detergent, Etc.?

For your convenience, linens and towels are provided at your rental home. We provide an amenity starter kit so that you have the basics upon your arrival. Please keep in mind that you may need to replenish during your stay and will need to bring personal items, additional soaps, and paper products.

 

The starter kit includes:

  • Two rolls of toilet paper
  • A roll of paper towel 
  • A kitchen trash can liner 
  • A sponge 
  • A dishwasher detergent packet 

For a list of recommended items to bring with you on your vacation, please view our vacation planning guide here.

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.
