We stayed here with our family of 7 (2 adults, 5 kids), and it was the perfect size for us. The first floor was open and spacious. The bedrooms were a good size. The whole house was very clean, with a well equipped kitchen. The owners were responsive and easy to work with. We’d definitely stay here again.

E-Sea-Living was just that. The host anticipated all our needs having everything set up. We only needed to bring ourselves. The beach is a short walk and all the food or services are less than a 5 minute drive. We had a blast. Wish we had extended our stay.

Great week - Thanks Erika & Daniel

Great to be back in the Outer Banks. The house was as described by the owners and was very comfortable and spacious. Tucked in a quiet spot in the neighborhood, it’s a short walk to the life guarded beach while still being super convenient to shopping, restaurants, golf, and the sports center. Our teen boys loved the OBX vibe and definitely want to go back. Erika was extremely gracious and helpful, providing many recommendations to enhance our stay. Many thanks to our hosts for a terrific week!

Exactly what we needed! I was looking for a last minute rental which is nearly impossible in the Outer Banks! Erika is an amazing host, she responds quickly and made the whole process smooth. The house was clean and in a great location. A short walk to the beach and a short drive to the grocery store/local shops/attractions.

All You'll Need, Plus Nice and Clean!

A lovely home with great sofas, a big, adjustable t.v., and a big dining table perfect for family game nights (plus a fabulous cabinet supply of games)! Clean, clean, clean and a close walk to the beach (or cut the close walk by half with a drive to public parking that's halfway to the beach). This house has all you'll need and many updated features (lights, great a.c., kitchen appliances, nice bathrooms). Also close to North Water Sports (parasailing!), two grocery stores (Harris Teeter and Food Lion), and Wild Horse Tours on a Hummer. Loved our stay!

Perfect beach house!

We were very nervous reserving this property last minute since it has no reviews on VRBO! But we are glad that we took that chance! The house is two blocks from the beach and right next to the beach access. The kitchen is fully stocked, nice and comfortable living and dinning room furnitures, beds were very comfortable too! They have plenty of books and board games to entertain our family. The icing on the cake was how Erika and Dan, the property owners, were very easy to reach via text. Thank you! Your first renter.

Wonderful stay. Property great

My spouse, myself and two teenage daughters stayed at E-Sea-Livin’ from 7-27 to 8-3 2024. Property was exactly as advertised. We were so pleased with everything. This was a last minute decision trip and were so happy to find this gem. We usually stay oceanfront, but I have to say this was just a quick 6 minute walk to beach with all our gear. Home was well appointed, and we used every inch of it! Loved the grills, used the outside shower, sat in the cozy sectional at night with the party lights on! Everything is super close ( Food Lion, Brewery , Super Wings, Ice Cream, Liquor Store, Corolla attractions …) We had to connect with owners on a few occasions with some minor issues , and they were quick to respond and quite helpful. We highly recommend this very reasonably priced property to anyone looking for a beautiful place to stay at OBX ! Cheers! The Priebes

Really was easy

My family of 5 came down last minute and Erika, the host was very helpful. We had some issues with linens (not host, but linen company) and things were taken care of right away. The house was clean and comfortable. The ac and fans did a good job of keeping the house cool even during a hot hot week. The kitchen was a bit disorganized from renter use, so it seemed maybe some things like measuring cups/spoons were missing, but we may not have found them. Not a big deal, we went out most of the time anyway. It really was an easy walk to the beach, and the outside shower had hot and cold water, which was nice. We were visited by little green frogs on the windows attached to the deck at night, which were cute from inside. They were after the bugs, which were easily avoided on the screen porch. Would definitely stay here again, house worked great and Erika was top notch.

About the host

Hosted by Erika and Daniel

Host profile image
Our NJ family of 5 has been vacationing in OBX for many years enjoying the beautiful beaches, relaxed lifestyle, fresh seafood, activities and most of all the friendly people.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with Corolla and the Whalehead community. The beaches are wide, uncrowded and it is close to so many activities, shopping and the 4x4 beaches and wildlife. The large 1/2 acre property provides privacy and the cozy cottage was just perfect for our family. We are so excited we now own a slice of heaven in OBX and are thrilled to share it with friends and guests.

What makes this property unique

This property was never in a rental program and we have been fixing it up and preserving the unique vintage vibe for others to enjoy. We just purchased our home in June 2021. New modern renovations will continue each year to make our home even more relaxing for all to enjoy and to explore the beautiful Outer Banks!
