vacation rental description
WEEK OF 08/27/2011-09/02/2011--$ 1630.00 SPECIAL REDUCED RATE!
This luxury custom Outer Banks cottage is perfect for family vacations. Our new features include a private heated pool and a large game/pool room! Game room was expanded for 2010 with a bunkset, foosball table and other attractions with half bathroom at ground level, adjacent to swimming pool).
SPECIAL NOTE : Resort Realty and the property owner offer discounts to the following: Active duty military, Reserve/Guard and First Responders (police, fire, and EMS) get an additional 10% off!
The name of our beach house is "The Great Escape" and we think that you'll agree that is just what it is! This custom-built home is close to lots of activities and shopping, but is conveniently located in a quiet subdivision. We think our view of the mighty Atlantic is awesome (almost as good as at the oceanfront, and much more affordable) and we think that you will too!
We're just 500' back from the water and the price is a fraction of those homes at the oceanfront! Travel by foot direct to the beach, all on paved surfaces, with no highways to cross.
The six bedrooms sleep 14 people in comfort and a queen sleep sofa
in the downstairs front bedroom could accommodate 2 more people.
Each bedroom (except the bunk rooms) has an overhead fan, as do the
living area and the kitchen. There are 3 1/2 bathrooms, one adjacent to
the upstairs hall and first bedroom. The second bathroom is
next to the master bedroom. The third bathroom opens on the
downstairs hall. The half bath is on ground level, near the sixth bedroom. The bedroom and has a foosball table, dresser and TV, plus computer games. A fish-cleaning station and an outside shower are also available on the ground level. Off street parking is provided for 4 to 6 cars.
The cottage is situated on an open space, which allows additional
privacy behind the house. This open space is deeded forever wild and
provides an outstanding, open-horizon view of the ocean and surf!
This sweeping view is great from inside the home or from the spacious
second floor deck. In addition, there is also a "crow's nest" over
the screened-in porch. This provides a commanding view of the ocean
and of the Currituck Club's highly-rated golf course across the street as well.

activities and attractions in Corolla Atlantic Coast
The main entrance to the Currituck Club is directly across the
street. This challenging Rees Jones-designed 18-hole golf course is
known as a golfer's delight, and a "pitch and putt" course is nearby
too; shopping is close by as well, including a recently built Harris
Teeter grocery (with a Starbucks coffee shop). Other fine shops and
restaurants are now in place as well. These include a pizza/sub
shop, a coffee shop, and a fishing supplies outfitter which also
offers deep sea fishing charters. The newest addition is an ice cream
store (my favorite!)
Go Karts, small sail boats, jetskis, and kayaks can be rented nearby.
Upscale shopping, a multiple screen movie theater, a large Food Lion
grocery store and a number of excellent restaurants (and some fast
food too)are close by as well!
A major plus for families with children -- there are NO HIGHWAYS TO
CROSS to get to the ocean! Direct access to the beach is through
neighborhood roads and a boardwalk over the dunes. It's a wide,
uncrowded beach and it's only 500' to the high tide line! The surf
is excellent for body surfing or "boogey boarding."
Both adjacent subdivisions have tennis courts and lifeguards
are stationed here daily during the summer (each lifeguard station
is about 500' away from our section).
Currituck lighthouse is close by (in Corolla village) and can still be climbed (if you're in shape). It's one of the only brick-faced lighthouses on the east coast. Bodie Island, Hatteras, and Ocracoke lighthouses are all within roughly 40-100 miles. Don't miss the Elizabeth II replica ship in Manteo. The original ship arrived in the New World (bearing the "Lost Colony") well before the Mayflower. Hangglide from Jockey's Ridge, the tallest sand dune in the east!!
