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 relaxing 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 enormous 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-huge island with counter-height seating, and offers exceptional 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

Getting the best vacation rental experience:
Sticking to a budget:
- To find the largest vacation home for your budget, we suggest booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular Kitty Hawk attractions. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August.
- Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
- Some property managers offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
- Property management companies typically offer renters an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
- Look for your local Kitty Hawk visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guides contain offers and deals for nearby tours and attractions.
How to pick the best rental in Kitty Hawk:
- Start by choosing trip dates and a spending budget.
- Determine how many beds and the bed configuration you need. Private Beach Access in Southern Shores w\/ Pool has 8 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Kitty Hawk rental home search.
- Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally accessible online. Otherwise, reach out to the property manager before reserving your home. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms.
- Are you visiting for a specific event or attraction? If so, use a map search to locate nearby properties.
- Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental
- If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Usually, hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
Advice for a great stay:
- Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the directions to your phone.
- During check-in, note any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all coorespondence.
- Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
- Respect your neighbors. Frequently, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
- Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently help. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
- Keep your rental home locked while you're away! Don't let thieves spoil your trip.
- At departure, complete a final walk-through to make sure you haven't forget any personal items. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
- Record a video to document the condition of the property.
- Did you have a great stay? Most rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property manager was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
