Unbeatable Oceanside Home with Wonderful Amenities If an assortment of amazing amenities, easy access to the beautiful beaches of the Outer Banks, and recently updated furniture, decor, and appliances are the requirements for your next Outer Banks vacation, your search for the perfect Outer Banks rental with an elevator can stop with A Shore Thing. Guaranteed to be the perfect home base for an amazing vacation, this 5-Bedroom, 4.5-Bathroom oceanside home is located within the quiet Ocean Sands, Section O Community in Corolla and is the perfect place to spend an idyllic vacation with your family. Its prime location on a quiet cul-de-sac just one block away from the sun, surf, and sand of the Corolla beaches situates A Shore Thing within close distance to some of the best of what the Outer Banks has to offer while providing access to both a Private and Community Pool* as well as a bubbly Hot Tub and plenty of room for everyone in your family group to relax and enjoy an open-concept floor plan and the furnished Sun Deck with cozy Adirondack furniture and plenty of ocean breezes and expansive views. And with an elevator to take you to all 3 levels, an unforgettable vacation at this Corolla home is A Shore Thing.
When you pull up to this beautiful beach home, enjoy plenty of parking for up to 5 vehicles. Head on inside or rinse off in the convenient Outdoor Shower and venture out back where you can take a dip in your Private Pool* or soothe your muscles after that long drive in the bubbly 6-person Hot Tub. Get the kids cozy and comfortable inside in one of the 2 Pyramid Bunk Bedrooms, each with streaming TV/Roku and direct access to the Pool Area. Down the hall, you'll find one shared Full Hallway Bathroom.
Take the elevator up to the Middle Level where you'll find more bedrooms to keep everyone comfortable. Get some rest in one of the 2 Queen Master Bedrooms with access to the Furnished Mid-Level Deck and access to the 6-Person bubbly Hot Tub that's perfect for getting some peace and quiet. A 3rd Queen Master Bedroom at the end of the hallway has a Dual Vanity. This level features recently updated carpets as well as the Laundry with a recently replaced Washer and Dryer, meaning that mid-week washes and beach towel fluff-ups are a breeze.
Upstairs, on the Top Level, gather together for movie night in front of the large Flat Screen TV in the Living Area with wood-style floors, a Sleeper Sofa for naps or extra sleeping space, and plenty of brilliant Outer Banks natural light from the windows. Cook up a delicious seafood meal in the modern Kitchen to enjoy in the Dining Area or at the Breakfast Bar. Take your coffee out onto the Furnished Sun Deck to enjoy spectacular views and a refreshing ocean breeze in the morning or enjoy a cool drink in the comfortable Adirondack furniture and watch the stars appear in the evening sky as the bright blue above you fade to orange and indigo with an irreplaceable Outer Banks sunset.
The gently rolling surf and wide expanses of coveted Corolla shoreline are within easy walking distance right down the road, where you'll find a community Walkway over the sand dunes onto the beach. Enjoy the Ocean Sand Community Swimming Pool and Tennis Courts nearby and if your dream is to enjoy a walk with your four-legged friend on the beach, A Shore Thing is a dog-friendly home that welcomes your furry canine family member to tag along on your trip. Its location along a side street with no through traffic offers a great place to safely take Fido for a stroll. If you'd rather embark on a longer journey, simply head for the wide pathway that lines the east side of the main road through town and extends for miles in both directions so you can explore everything Corolla has to offer on foot.
Beautifully decorated and meticulously cared for by its owners, A Shore Thing offers bright and cheerful decor in a variety of beachy hues that are sure to make you feel welcome at your home away from home for the week. This Outer Banks vacation rental has recently received a series of updates throughout, including all new furniture, appliances, decor, and flat-screen TVs, as well as new flooring on the Top Level and new carpet on the Middle Level. The only thing missing at A Shore Thing is you!
