About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Updated, roomy 4BR house. Sleeps 10. Short stays. Central location. Free linens

SEA LA VIE: The house has three floors, a huge backyard, is well stocked, offers short stays year round, and includes all linens. The central location is close to everything the OBX has to offer.

GROUND FLOOR LAYOUT:
The 1st floor has a covered tiki bar room with extra fridge that opens to a full backyard with fire pit, Adirondack chairs, picnic table, corn hole boards, and a tree swing hammock chair.
Enter level 1 to find a large bedroom with 2 queen beds and a full bathroom with walk in shower, all on the ground level (no steps).

MIDDLE FLOOR LAYOUT:
On the 2nd level is the main entrance with a covered front deck with rocking chairs. Walk in to a mid-level living room with foosball and a shuffle board table, plus full laundry room.
The queen bedroom on the 2nd level features sliding doors that open to the covered deck. There is a full bath in the middle of the two bedrooms on this level. On the other side of the bathroom is a room with 2 twin beds (that can be pushed together).

TOP FLOOR WITH PRIVATE MASTER:
Walk up to level 3 and enter into the great room with gas fireplace, cathedral ceiling, large TV, lots of games and a comfy couch.
This level also has a half bath, as well as the king master bedroom which features a small workspace desk, and its own en-suite bathroom and jetted tub.

FULLY STOCKED:
The loaded kitchen on the top floor features a farmhouse table and bench that seats 8, with 2 more barstools at the island.
Open the sliding doors to walk out to the top level sun deck with gas grill, outdoor table and a view of the Ocean.

CENTRAL LOCATION: Situated between the ocean and sound, the house is less than 1/2 mile to water in either direction. On one side of our street is the beach access with Avalon Pier across from Awful Arthur’s seafood restaurant. On the other side of our street is the sound with a neighborhood dock you can fish from. A bike trail goes to the Food Lion / Duck Donuts shopping center on 3rd Street without leaving the neighborhood. Go out at the light on 5th to the Target, Wawa, or Jolly Rogers Restaurant, along with another beach access with parking. More public free access beach lots are located on 2nd and 1st streets.

GREAT TOWN: Kill Devil Hills is right in the middle of the Outer Banks, so go right to get to the fishing marina at Oregon Inlet, or left to see the wild horses in Corolla, with lighthouses in both directions. Putt putt, movies, fishing, shopping, dining and live music with Ubers are only minutes away year round. If you like being near the action but with space to spread out when you get back to the house, Sea La Vie will be a great option for you!

LINENS INCLUDED: All sheets, comforters, and towels are provided for each guest. No need to bring your own linens, the beds are made with freshly laundered sheets before your arrival.

INSURANCE: The $59 insurance offered through VRBO is required for each stay. It protects for things like hurricane evacuations, and covers repairs on anything that breaks or stops working, for nothing out of pocket!

PAYMENT TERMS: To reserve the house, 25% is due at booking, with the balance due 30 days before check in.

DISCOUNTS: We do give a discount to anyone who books a full week in the off season (Oct-March), or to those serving in the military (our son is in the Air Force), and to our much appreciated repeat guests!

NO PETS: Due to allergies, we do not allow pets. (Please be kind by booking one of the many houses that do allow pets, since trying to sneak one in will result in immediate eviction without refund).

SECURITY CAMERAS: There are two outward facing cameras covering each exterior door to the house and carport / driveway.

BEACH DRIVING: 4 wheel drive vehicles with aired down tires are permitted to drive on the beach as follows...
1) In the off season right by our house in Kill Devil Hills with a permit https://www.kdhnc.com/997/Beach
2) Year round on Hatteras beaches (great fishing) with a permit https://www.nps.gov/caha/planyourvisit/permitsandreservations.htm#ORV
3) Year round in Corolla (where the wild ponies are) with a permit https://www.visitcurrituck.com/visitor-info/beach-driving-tips
(Make sure you read all the regulations first).

NEARBY POOL / GYM: You can purchase daily or weekly passes to the local YMCA to use their fitness equipment or indoor and outdoor pools. https://www.ymcashr.org/guest-policy-outer-banks-family-ymca

Great OBX spot for groups
Sea La Vie was the perfect place for our group of 8. The house was big enough with hang out spaces on all 3 floors (love the tiki bar!), the fire pit was great, the kitchen was fully equipped and modern. The location was good, just be aware you’ll have to cross one road to get to the beach.

Lovely OBX spot!
We loved staying at Sea La Vie! The owners have thought of all your needs and have helpful notes all around the house. There are so many different hang out spaces and the foosball & shuffleboard were awesome bonuses. We loved the jetted tub and having so many bathrooms. It’s a great distance from shops, pier & beach!

Nice Family Vacation Spot
Sea La Vie is a very comfortable and well equipped house, centrally located, and close to beach and shopping. Fishing from Avalon Pier or bayside. The bayside sunset is awesome. We liked the multiple levels which gave teenagers their own space. Everyone gathered in the yard around the fire pit at night. Highly recommended!

Wonderful Weekend Getaway
My group had a fantastic time at Sea La Vie! The house is beautifully furnished and the kitchen has everything you need. I love the tiki area for hanging out after the beach. The outdoor fire pit area was relaxing! I love that the house came with beach chairs to use instead of bringing my own. I highly recommend this home for an OBX getaway!

We had plenty of room to spread out or be together. Only drawback was the location. Due to how busy 158 is, we couldn't walk to the beach, but it was never an issue finding parking at the public access areas
