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.

CONVENIENT 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 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 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 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.

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

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!

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.

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

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).

We enjoyed our stay very much. This was our third trip to the OBX, but our first experience with a whole home rental, and Vrbo. Overall, the experience was great. Reservation process, communication, and overall property quality was great. We were there for a friend’s surprise 50th birthday party. There were 6 adults staying at the house. We weren’t there a lot, but the property was clean, and had all the necessary amenities. We will, of course, be back. The location can’t be beat.

Wonderful house, great location, good amenities and an overall really good stay. Only drawback is crossing the highway to get to the beach due to volume, but that's not anyone's fault it's so popular around Kill Devil Hills. My friends and I had a great time and I highly recommend this place!

Three generation family trip
This house was PERFECT for our first-ever vacation with our two adult children and their families: my husband an I took the first floor, our daughter, herfiancee, and their children ages 7 and almost 5 fit perfectly on the second floor, and our son and his wife and 16-month old daughter were on the third floor. The kitchen was so well equipped - plenty of plates, mugs, glasses and silverware for all 9 of us, so we didn't have to run the dishwasher every day. The 3rd floor deck with gas grill was perfect for cooking and eating dinner. The house is beautifully decorated in bright colors and a nautical theme throughout. Plenty of comfy furniture and a TV in every room. The second floor living room had a shuffleboard table that was a hit with our grandson, and also a foosball table. Convenient laundry room (full-size washer and dryer) on the second floor. Third floor living room had plenty of seating and was open to the kitchen. More than enough space for all of us to be together, but also have privacy if we needed it. The second refrigerator in the Tiki Room on the first floor was very convenient. The fenced back yard was a fun place to play corn hole (another hit with our grandson!), sit in the hammock chair, and enjoy s'mores around the fire pit. Plenty of beach chairs and boogie boards that we could use. This was a tremendous vacation and we voted unanimously to come back next year! Alison (the owner) was extremely helpful in answering questions ahead of time.

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.

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!

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!

Great Family location
Our family loved the W Avalon home & were impressed w/how our host had thought of everything we might need. Though we endured the tropical storm, which kept us indoors there plenty of activities & space to keep our family of 7 entertained. My diabled husband & I being older found we couldn't make the walk to the beach due to the locations' proximity to Croaton Hwy. The description of "a 3 min walk to beach" was a stretch; even for the family w/small children & a stroller. But, the location was ideal for shopping & restaurants & beach days. Overall we were very pleased w/our stay & can't say enough of Alisons' responsiveness to the few hiccups we faced. She was very quick to get back to me, w/solutions each time. We'd stay at Sea Le Vie again!

Communication was wonderful
My family and I really enjoyed our stay at Sea La Vie. We were impressed with the cleanliness of the house, including every kitchen item. We have a daughter with food allergies, so we always have to be careful when using dishes from a rented home, we did not feel worried at Sea La Vie. My biggest reason for giving a 5-star review is because of the wonderful communication of the homeowners. During our first night of stay the water heater went out. The very next day the homeowner drove down and replaced the water heater with a new one. They were so kind and even refunded 2 of our nights. We definitely would recommend this home to friends and family. It was everything we hoped it would be.
