About this house rental
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

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!

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.

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.

Great place to hang out with friends and easily accessible. The house was clean and spacious. Great location for us to go fishing and come back to relax.

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!
5.0
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!

Lovely home. Very clean and very well stocked. Close to beach and sound. My only complaint was that the house was too close to the causeway- very noisy to sit outside and the street itself was highly trafficked. So many cars/ trucks!! Otherwise lovely. Thank you!
4.0
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!

The property was as advertised and worked out perfectly for our vacation. The host was very supportive and responded promptly.

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

Our stay was fantastic! The house is well stocked, clean and had plenty of space for everyone. I appreciated that this property offers short stays. We would definitely stay here again.
5.0
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.

Cool house with a nice yard, close to the sound, with a view of the ocean. Plenty to do inside and out. Everything you need is there.
5.0
The house is comfortable, roomy and well stocked, from fuzzy blankets on the couch, beach chairs hung nicely outside, and an air fryer in the kitchen. It has a cute beachy vibe without being cluttered. I read a review saying the neighborhood was loud but we did not notice that at all. In fact, some of us stayed up late hanging in the tiki bar room without keeping whoever was in the house awake. We loved being able to walk over to the beach by Avalon pier during the day, because they have bathrooms, sandwiches, cold drinks and even an arcade with Skee Ball!! They also mentioned they have live music at night!!!! I wouldn't recommend walking at night (a-little busy and dark) but ubers were very easy to come by. If you have small kids or too much stuff to walk during the day, there are lots of different beach accesses with parking and the entry to the drive-on beach is just a couple streets down. We loved watching the sky charge colors from the top balcony and also checking. the weather and wind before leaving the house. The house was perfect for our long weekend, we booked till Monday so we could leave at our leisure on Sunday. We went down after work on Friday, so it was kinda late when we got there, so we were very happy to see a roll of toilet paper in every bathroom to tie us over until we could run to food lion the next day. The Italian place and Duck Donuts were delicious!! AND they are getting a new Target super close so you won't need to worry if you forgot to pack something!! Really, we have nothing bad to say about staying at Sea La Vie!!!

We had a wonderful time staying in this property during our annual birthday trip with our granddaughters.
5.0
The beds are comfy, the towels fluffy, the kitchen is stocked and clean, and they even have beach towels and chairs. It was easy to walk across to the beach when the light was red, and we could see if the ocean was choppy from the deck. You get the whole three story house and yard for the price of a tiny hotel room, and it had everything we needed for a great trip. Highly recommend. We're booking our summer vacation at Sea LA Vie!

Everything about the home was great.
5.0
We had a wonderful time and the house was great!
Only thing we were concerned with was the upper bathroom towel racks were not very secure and the refrigerator door had been left open before our arrival so it took a while for it to cook back down .
Over all it was GREAT!!!! Would recommend it highly
5.0
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!

Renting was easy

House was great and comfortable. Love it had EVERYTHING we needed. Wanted for nothing. Cable was a little wacky because we don't ROKU but the owner got that fixed for us right away. Location is convenient. Due to the highway you do need to drive to the ocean side for safety. Avalon Pier requires $ to park. We had fun!
5.0
This property was amazing! It is very conveniently located being a 3 minute walk from the beach/pier and 3 minutes from the sound. We had a VERY long drive, so we really appreciated not having to worry about packing beach towels, sheets, blankets, and beach chairs. The tiki bar and fire pit in the back yard is a great addition to the house and it was really nice to be able to sit around the fire with family and friends to relax, chat, and tell jokes/stories. Also, I loved the 2 porches the house has. Just grab a fresh cup of coffee, sit outside on the rocking chairs, and relax! I would definitely return to this rental property. I don’t have any negative points on any aspect of this place.
5.0
We saw many beautiful sunrises and sunsets and there was a neighborhood dock that we caught fish from everyday.
The pier right by the house has any fishing gear you could need, a two story bar with an excellent view of the ocean, live music, and finger food. It was a great hangout spot or somewhere to grab a quick drink/bite to eat while we were at the beach all day. Not to mention our favorite restaurant, Awful Arthur’s, right across the street.
The backyard and tiki bar were great for having fires and kicking it in the evening. When we wanted to take the party inside there were plenty of cards and board games to entertain us. All the TVs had a Roku that we could easily stream Netflix or Prime Video to from our phones.
The house was very spacious and clean. Plenty of beds and bathrooms for everyone. Overall it was a great place to stay right in the middle of OBX with great access to everything!

We were a multigenerational family ranging in age from grandparents to grandchildren. There was a comfortable place for everyone to enjoy. After a day at the beach or fishing, some did their college coursework while others worked on a jigsaw puzzle and others watched a movie. It was an easy walk across the road to the beach. The Avalon pier is adjoining the beach and has fishing, food, and games. There are many food, shopping, and activities nearby.
The house has two decks and a yard. It’s well equipped and very comfortable. We would highly recommend.
