About this property

Updated, roomy 4BR house. Sleeps10. Central location! Short stays. Free linens!

SEA LA VIE: Situated between the ocean and sound, less than 1/2 mile to water in either direction, is this updated and spacious house. Includes all linens, large private back yard with firepit, and short stays offered year round.

GROUND FLOOR:
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:
On the 2nd level is the main entrance with a covered front deck with 5 rocking chairs and a porch swing. Walk in to a mid-level living room with foosball and a shuffle board table, plus 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 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, 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.

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

CONVENIENT LOCATION:
On one side of our street is the beach access with Avalon Pier across from Awful Authur’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 new Target or Jolly Rogers Restaurant with another beach access with parking. More public free access beach lots are located on 2nd, and 1st streets as well.

GREAT TOWN:
Kill Devil Hills is in the heart of the Outer Banks, so go right to get to the fishing boat marina at Oregon Inlet, or left to get to see the wild horses in Corolla, with lighthouses in both directions. Putt putt, movies, fishing, shopping, dining and live music are mere minutes away and Ubers are easy to find. 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!

NO PETS: Due to allergies, we do not allow pets.

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

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!

PAYMENT TERMS: To reserve the house, 25% is due at booking, with the balance due 30 days before check in. There is a 2 night minimum and VRBO’s $59 insurance is required per stay.

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

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!

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!

About the host

Hosted by Alison Conners

Host profile image
Hi – After renting in the OBX for more than 30 years, we were finally able to get our own place for our family to enjoy. We have a son in the Air Force that we don't get to see enough, so this is the perfect place to spend time all together when he's on leave. We would never be able to afford it without awesome renters like you, so thank you for helping our lifelong dream of owning a house at the beach come true! My family likes being close to everything in the OBX (so you don't have to sit in traffic to go to the grocery store, and you can to Uber to live music at night), so this location is great for that. We truly hope you love it here as much as we do, and that you come back year after year the way we did for the last three decades.

Why they chose this property

This location rocks! The backyard is awesome, with less wind, bugs and prickers than you'll find oceanfront. You can come back from the beach and relax inside or in the privacy fenced back yard without realizing you are in the middle of everything Kill Devil Hills has to offer. (Food Lion, Belk, Subway, Max's Italian, and the new Duck Donuts are in the shopping center just a few streets down, which you can get to from the back way in the neighborhood without going out onto the highway, so no traffic). All the restaurants and fun places to go, putt putt, movies, etc. are right there. It really is very convenient and since the house is on Avalon Drive, Awful Authur's by Avalon Pier is on one end of our road, and the sound access park off of Bay Drive is on the other end.

The house is located on the skinny part of the island so we are right in the middle of the sound and the ocean is less than 1/2 mile away! Even though you can only see a sliver of ocean view from the deck, it is enough to see if the beach is cloudy or the surf is choppy before deciding when to head out, and the stragglers can meet there later, so you don't have to wait for everyone to go at once. Beach access with parking is right at the end of our street, and there is free parking and public access on 5th, 2nd and 1st streets as well.

We provide beach chairs and linens for inside the house, but you do need to bring your own beach towels (since the linen company won't launder those, sorry). You can also rent bikes or a golf cart, and have beach chairs and umbrellas set up daily. You can buy daily or weekly passes to the Y that allow you to use their fitness equipment as well as their indoor and outdoor pools.

What makes this property unique

PRIVATE BACK YARD - We've always hung out in the driveway of houses we rented before but here, you don't have to do that.
GLIMPSE the OCEAN from the deck - Not really a "view", but enough to see what the weather is doing.
SKINNY PART OF THE ISLAND - The house is just about halfway between the ocean and sound (but slightly closer to the ocean at .3 miles away).
WALK, BIKE or UBER everywhere - The sound, Awful Arthur's, Avalon Pier, Food Lion, Duck Donuts, Target, you don't have to go far if you don't want to.
SPACE - Three levels of house means plenty of room and privacy for everyone, lots of bathrooms, lots of games, and a fully stocked kitchen.
NO STEPS on the ground floor - Even though the kitchen is on the third level, people who have trouble with stairs could feasibly stay downstairs and eat at the picnic table or in the tiki bar to minimize having to go upstairs.
FULLY STOCKED, UPDATED KITCHEN- Why wait for a table at a busy restaurant when you can eat at home, or grill outside?
NEW COMFY BEDS and bedding, TVs and ceiling fans in every room - because no one wants to toss and turn in a stuffy room in a lumpy bed. If you need a TV or a fan to fall asleep, we got you covered.
GAMES - Inside, outside, upstairs, downstairs, you'll spend the week playing all the fun games with the family.
JUST PACK CLOTHES - Sheets are provided along with two bath towels per person. We have boogey boards, beach chairs, and a cooler that you are welcome to use. We also start you off with one roll of TP per bathroom.
LOCATION! Kill Devil Hills is in the middle of everything. Turn right to go fishing at Oregon Inlet or see the Cape Hatteras lighthouse. Turn left to go to Duck or Corolla to see the wild horses, or visit that lighthouse on the way. Driving on the beaches is permitted with 4 wheel drive vehicles displaying paid permits
