About this space
Wake up to vistas of the ocean, take a dip in the pool, and dive into the culture of the Outer Banks with a stay at our home, Seaquel. This oceanfront, historical Southern Shores home has been thoughtfully designed to provide a unique, calming, and memorable experience! The OBX home has been upgraded with modern design and luxury amenities while keeping the vintage history of this beach classic alive. Unwind and relax with the whole family at this peaceful Southern Shores getaway!
The space
This original OBX classic, constructed in the 50's, is the ideal mixture of historic and modern design! Less than a dozen of these original Southern Shores flat-top homes constructed by Frank Stick remain. This home is on the Historic Register and has been featured in magazines, editorials, and flat-top tours for years. The new owners have given the home a major facelift and a second life (hence the name Seaquel) while keeping the vintage feel throughout. Seaquel is located on a peaceful street centrally located in Southern Shores, just mins. from Kitty Hawk to the South and Duck to the North.
The unique and bespoke open concept floor plan welcomes you through an inviting and bright sitting room ideal for coffee, with vintage double pane interior windows and the original 1950's showcase floor. The great room awaits, ready to welcome your entire family in one comfortable place. With freshly restored vintage furnishings, constructed-in bench and card table, open vistas to the pool deck, and more, this space is one-of-a-kind and ideal for huge or modest gatherings. The completely redesigned kitchen and dining area is the hub of the home, equipped with Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, an additional-enormous island with counter-height seating, and offers striking vistas of the outdoor space. This kitchen features a 48" Wolf gas oven and range with a double griddle, two dishwashers, a constructed-in 36" refrigerator and 30" freezer. From here, you can wave to your friends and family coming off the beach or appreciating time in the pool
Just as customized as the inside, the outdoor space provides a beachfront getaway. A private pool with a sizable splash deck, an 8-person hot tub, and an outdoor BBQ area (which includes a fish-cleaning station, constructed-in cooler, Green Egg grille, awaits you, all just steps away from the ocean

Tips to get the very best rental home experience:
Sticking to a spending plan:
- Summer time is high season in the Kitty Hawk area. To book the largest rental within your budget, we suggest reserving in Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at popular attractions and restaurants. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Kitty Hawk vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
- Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
- Some hosts and property managers offer special rates for veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
- Property managers typically offer customers an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
- Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Kitty Hawk area visitors guide magazines which will include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Kitty Hawk area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.
Use filters to narrow your rental search:
- First and foremost, have your group agree to vacation dates and a spending budget.
- Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. Private Beach Access in Southern Shores w\/ Pool has 8 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms.
- Specific details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, email or call the property manager before booking your rental. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to determine what configuration is right for your family.
- If there's a certain Kitty Hawk attraction you crave, keep an eye out for properties that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
- Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
- If your group is vacationing with pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Make sure to ask for information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Be aware that some hosts charge additional pet fees.
Tips for a fantastic stay:
- Be sure you get the host's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home.
- Make a record of any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are useful if a dispute arises.
- Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
- Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a fantastic resource to find the best local scenic spots.
- Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
- Lock your rental while you're away. Keep your property safe!
- When it's time to leave, complete a walk-through to confirm you didn't forget anything. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
- Inspect the property one final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, remember to take pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
- Did you have a terrific time? Most rental websites make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property management company was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
