1686 Eureka * 50ft to Beach *
Eureka is Always a Bright Idea for a Sunny Beach Vacation It's the little things that make a home so special. If you're looking for a small beach home close to the ocean, you'll shout “Eureka” when you visit this cozy chalet-style Ocean Sands home. Only 50 feet from the beach via the boarded walkway, this home also features a wealth of community perks including tennis courts, a family-friendly neighborhood, and easy access to all of Corolla's favorite attractions. Eureka offers a great layout inside with a loft and a splendid ocean view. Surround yourself with family and friends while relaxing on one of the two levels of furnished decking, or retreat to your own private bedroom for a little rest and relaxation. With a bright and cheery kitchen and living area, and pops of color throughout, it's easy to ease into a vacation state of mind at this breezy vacation home. Ideal for seaside retreats that are close to the beach, spending a vacation at this Corolla getaway is always a “Eureka!” moment.
On the Ground Level of this adorable beach cottage, take advantage of the Outdoor Shower that's perfect for rinsing off after a day at the beach, which is just 1 minute away! This means that surf and sand are never too far, making this the perfect spot for a beach-centered vacation filled with early morning walks along the water with the sunrise and hunting for ghost grabs in the evening as the stars make their way into the brilliantly clear night sky.
On the main Middle Level, enjoy a cozy Living Area with beach-themed furniture and aesthetically pleasing decor around a large Flat Screen TV that makes movie night with the family a given. Eureka will feel like your home away from home as you whip up a delicious meal in the modern Kitchen to enjoy together in the Dining Area, with seating for 8, or out on the Mid-Level Covered deck with fantastic views of the dunes. Just imagine yourself waking up in the morning to the sounds of the waves and the smell of the surf as the birds welcome in the day with the rising sun. Get some rest in the Double Bedroom and settle in the kiddos in the Bedroom with a Bunk Bed Set and a Twin Platform Bed with its own Twin Size Trundle.
For some extra privacy, make your way up the loft with a table perfect for board games or catching up on work and a comfy Daybed that creates the ideal place to curl up with a book while the sunlight filters in through the windows. Near the loft is a Queen Master Bedroom with a Private Bathroom, making this the ideal getaway from some peace and quiet while on vacation. And when it's time for more ocean air and a calming cup of tea in the evening, head back outside to the Crow's Nest overlooking the dunes where you can breathe in the rejuvenating ocean air as you watch the moon emerge over the water. Booking your vacation at Eureka today may be your best idea yet!
A Stay in Corolla is Always a Great Idea You'll relish in the local history one day and relax on the expansive, unobstructed beaches the next when you stay in the beautiful town of Corolla! On the northern beaches, you can go on a 4x4 tour to discover the Corolla Wild horses in their natural habitat and then stop by the Wild Horse Fund museum to learn about their origin. For another adventure, stop by the Corolla Adventure Park to test your endurance on an aerial obstacle course. Kids will love the go-kart racing at Corolla RaceWay. Spend the day shopping by the nearby TimBuck II Shopping Village with plenty of dining options for when you get hungry such as Mike Dianna's Grill Room, La Dolce Vita, North Banks Restaurant & Raw Bar, Big Buck's Homemade Ice Cream, and Mama Easley's—just to name a few! When you're not enjoying a meal at one of the many great restaurants in the area, step into the past by exploring the historic Whalehead Club or climbing to the top of the Currituck Lighthouse for an amazing 360-degree view of the surrounding town. There's no such thing as a boring day when you stay at Eureka! Beach Access: 50 feet/1-minute walk to Access
