À propos de cet hébergement

1000 $ HORS-OCÉAN: 7 chambres; 8 salles de bain; 2 piscines chauffées; 4 bains à remous; spa avec audio; Walkwa

Les semaines d'ouverture en juin, juillet et août 2019 reflètent une remise allant jusqu'à 1000 $.

Avec une nouvelle passerelle privée de la piscine en bord de mer sur les dunes et directement sur la plage, cette magnifique maison en bord de mer a été construite le plus près possible de l'océan et a été conçue sur mesure pour maximiser les vues exceptionnelles sur l'océan de chaque pièce.

Profitez de levers de soleil spectaculaires sur l'océan, jouez dans la piscine de 40 'avec bassin pour bébé surélevé et cascade de 4', puis détendez-vous sous les étoiles dans le bain à remous au bord de la piscine dans votre propre "Castle by the Sea"!

La maison dispose de 4 suites parentales en bord de mer, de 3 chambres supplémentaires sur le côté ouest de la maison et de 8 salles de bains dont la cabane au bord de la piscine. De nouvelles améliorations sont ajoutées chaque année, notamment: bain à remous Oceanfront pour 7 personnes; Téléviseur 4K 65 pouces dans le salon surélevé; Carrelage de cuisine; Nouvelle tuile, vanités et luminaires dans 2 salles de bain; TV HD 53 pouces dans la chambre principale au niveau supérieur; TV HD 40 pouces dans la salle de jeux; Passerelle privée de la cabane de la piscine en bord de mer sur les dunes directement sur la plage; Table de billard de qualité professionnelle; Intérieur repeint, décor de chambre mis à jour; 6 téléviseurs HD et Blu-ray 5. 1 système de son surround.

Levez-vous tôt pour une tasse de café en famille ou entre amis (sur le belvédère surélevé avec des sièges intégrés au bout de la promenade privée) et partagez l'expérience de levers de soleil spectaculaires illuminant les vagues de l'océan avec des teintes violettes, roses et rouges.

Étalez vos serviettes, votre tente et même votre parc (depuis le placard pour bébé de la maison) sur la plage au bout de la passerelle privée pour une journée de bronzage et de jouer dans les vagues rugissantes de l'océan - tous visibles depuis le salon surélevé, la salle à manger , Salle de petit déjeuner et chambre principale par les membres de votre groupe qui préfèrent ou doivent rester à l'intérieur.

Quand il est temps de se détendre à l'ombre, retournez à votre «château» où vous pouvez jouer dans la piscine de 40 'x 20' en bord de mer avec une piscine pour bébé surélevée et une cascade de 4 'ou lire sur la terrasse de la piscine, l'un des 4 autres ponts ou dans la bibliothèque - des lieux privés, même avec de grands groupes familiaux.

Servez ensuite toute la famille à la table de la salle à manger pour 10 personnes, à la salle de petit-déjeuner pour 6 personnes ou à la bibliothèque pour 4 personnes.

Lorsque la journée est terminée, détendez-vous sous les étoiles dans le spa haut de gamme et thérapeutique avec système de haut-parleurs MP3 Bluetooth 5 intégré, colonnes d'eau LED, cascade personnalisée, éclairage LED extérieur et jets de pieds jumbo.

Avant de vous retirer dans l'une des 4 suites parentales, sirotez un verre de vin avec vos amis et votre famille sur les ponts supérieurs tout en admirant la lumière fascinante du phare historique de la Corolla qui a servi de balise d'avertissement pour les navires au large des Outer Banks pendant près de 150 ans.

Regardez votre émission ou film préféré sur le téléviseur 4K 65 pouces avec son surround dans le salon surélevé, ou jouez à un jeu compétitif sur la table de billard professionnelle.

Pour un cadre plus tranquille, asseyez-vous dans les rockers ou planeur sur les ponts en bord de mer et laissez les contraintes du monde glisser au rythme réconfortant des vagues qui roulent. Ou, depuis les ponts des côtés nord et ouest de votre «château», laissez votre esprit dériver vers les contes des Outer Banks pendant que vous observez la balise d'avertissement du phare historique de la Corolla guidant les navires de pêche lors de leurs tournées nocturnes le long de la côte.

This home is perfect for families. With four master bedrooms that have attached bath, there is no fighting among the grown-up kids for who gets the "best room" and the kids rooms offer plenty of comfortable beds for the grandkids. In addition, there is a living room game room and library type room, so there's no sense of being crowded when you're all together. The dining room offers plenty of seating. The table comfortably sits 12 people and the pool is perfect, especially having an attached kiddy pool. You can get it heated for an extra fee, which we thought was well worth it.

Excellent location within several miles for sightseeing of Currituck Lighthouse, wild horses, numerous excellent restaurants, shopping villages and many more, more than fulfilling for the entire week!

EXCELLENT VACATION

I have stayed at plenty of rentals in my past but none of them compared to this one. My family and I had my wedding there and we absolutely loved it. It had plenty of room and well maintained. And of course absolutely beautiful. I definitely recommend this rental to everyone. I know I will be returning NEXT YEAR.

I think you have given Castle by the Sea the ultimate compliment. For you to comment that you and your family loved the property on your most important wedding day lets the world know what a special place it is. We welcome you back next year and for many years thereafter—with the children with which you will be blessed. Remember the house was designed to accommodate young children!

Great for families

It's a beautiful sprawling kind of house. Magnificent location directly on the beach with the most wonderful sunrises and views of the ocean. The house is very well appointed. Lots of space for everyone to move around. The house has some years on it, and we were there at the end of the season so the wear and tear of the season was evident. Folks new to the Outer Banks should be warned about the number of steps involved.
VrboOwner a répondu le 22 mars 2020
Thank you for your compliments regarding the house and its location. Depending upon the manner in which guests during the weeks prior to your arrival cared for the house, it is possible to observe some wear and tear late in the season after 20 to 25 families have been at the house before you. That is the reason that we use every off-season to repair, refresh and upgrade the interior and exterior of the house. I must admit it is a rather nice place to work on maintenance during the off-season so we don’t mind the off-season work at all!

Thank you for the 5 star rating despite the challenges you faced with Hurricane Florence approaching the coast of North Carolina. We were as happy as you were that we found one open week at Castle by the Sea during which you could return to finish your well-deserved vacation. We make sure the kitchen and other areas of the home are furnished with all of the essentials plus more conveniences at the beginning of each season so we are pleased to hear that you found most everything still at the house. Thank you as well for the compliment on being a pleasure to work with—we try hard to make all of our guests feel special and to help them enjoy their long-anticipated vacations.

Family Beach Trip

We loved our stay at Castle By The Sea! There’s plenty of space for a family, to spread out and enjoy private time as well as family togetherness. The owner is very reachable and attentive to any problems that may arise. The attention to detail at this property is superb with directions on using everything from the remote controls to the coffee maker…which we fully appreciated. The kitchen is labeled for ease in finding and returning things to their proper place. The house is laid out so beautifully for viewing the ocean from everywhere. And the pool…..magnificent. We highly recommend this home in Corolla- Castle by the Sea.

Dennis, Thank you for your feedback. We have been advised that the beautiful tile we recently installed in the kitchen was not a good choice for an oceanfront home because these houses are built on pilings that allow the property to move just enough in wind storms to crack floor tile which is designed not to move. We plan to upgrade the flooring during the off-season.

Castle by the Sea

Truly enjoyed our week long stay at Castle by the Sea. Excellent beach front location close to a large public park in Corolla. Walking distance to stores and restaurants made it convenient for everyone in our party. The house was very clean and well equipped with everything necessary to enjoy the beach, pool and summertime fun. The well equipped game room was popular with the teens in our party and the pool and hot tub were great when we were not at the beach. All bedrooms were freshly cleaned and very roomy. The house was very spacious with plenty of room in the family room and dining areas that allowed us all to have meals together. Bikes and beach toys were also provided. I would highly recommended this property for any family looking to enjoy the beach, pool and making a memorable summertime vacation.

Great house & location for our family of 13

Great house and location for our family of 7 adults, 1 teenager, and 5 children 12 & under. Lots of bedroom and bathroom options, pool, hot tub, game room, large dining table, books, games, and all the amenities. Great ocean views from great decks. The expansive beach really is just over the dune behind the house. Corolla has everything we needed. Some of the commercial activities may be more of a drive away, but we didn't need those things. The house decor is slightly dated, but that had zero impact on our stay. 3 stories, so get ready for some effort by old knees. Great for our family and we would rent that again!

Beautiful views!!

This is a gem by the sea!! The deck furniture was one of the nicesest we have had at the obx. The beds were decent. Each queen and king (just one on mid level) had something unique and nice about it. There was a nice bathroom by the pool and ocean so you didnt have to go in all the way. It is right by public access which was a slight negative. We came before pool season so the pool will look beautiful but it wasn't ready (as expected). The kitchen was pretty well stocked. There was just one fridge and a small wine fridge downstairs. The owner was very responsive.
Séjour de 7 nuits en avril 2017
VrboOwner a répondu le 22 mars 2020
Thank you for the compliments regarding the deck furniture. After replacing each year the typical deck furniture used by homes on the Outer Banks, we decided there must be higher quality products on the market. We invested a small fortune in the more than 20 pieces of commercial grade deck furniture most often found at luxury resorts. The fact that the product is made from recycled plastics was an added bonus because the product is environmentally friendly. The advantage of being close to public access is that the County mans a lifeguard station at that entrance, providing comfort to our guests that their children will be safe in the ocean. We may have read more into your comment about the beds being “decent” than you intended, but we listen carefully to what our guests say and what they don’t say. In this case, your comment prompted us to research better sleeping solutions for our guests. Based on extensive research, we are beginning to upgrade the beds with mattresses using a combination of support foam similar to that used in the Space Shuttle topped by the highest quality gel-infused memory foam designed to be cooler than traditional memory foam. We also added a second 28 cu. ft. stainless steel French Door refrigerator in the kitchen that will better accommodate your family’s needs when you return. We also appreciate your noting that we were very responsive to all of your needs.

Terrific Time - Great House - Awesome Service by Owner

This was our second year at Castle By the Sea and we are planning on doing it again. The home is designed very nicely to accommodate a large group; 7 adults and 5 children in our case. During our week a hurricane was just offshore and due to the cool weather we decided to have the pool heated (Additional cost). The owner accommodated our request immediately and we got a lot of use out of the pool...especially on the days the beach was closed due to rip tides. Also, the refrigerator in the basement was broken and he ordered a new one to arrive while we were there. The owner ensured we had an excellent time in his home....definitely a pleasure to work with him!

We are thrilled that you returned for a second year and that you plan to return in the future. We appreciate all of our guests, but we find that returning guests treat Castle by the Sea as they would treat their own homes. We also find that returning guests offer some of the best suggestions for improvements that we can make. We have upgraded from a propane pool heater to a heat pump because the ocean winds frequently blew out the flame on the propane heater so we are pleased that it worked so well for your family. We work hard to satisfy the requests of our guests so thank you for noting that it was a pleasure to work with us.

OBX Family Vacation

House is a little dated but very spacious with nice ocean views from the top level. The dune is high so the ocean view from the middle level bedrooms are not great views. The house is very close to the beach with some steps but easy access. The beach is very nice and clean. We enjoyed the beach immensely. As stated the house is a little dated but the price paid was fair for the house size and location so our only disappointment cleanliness was our only Our only real disappointment was the cleaning service. The carpet seemed to be okay but the other floors were very dirty. After a few minutes our feet was black from the floor debris. The windows were very dirty with limited visibility. The We had to drive 45 minutes to Walmart to purchase cleaning supplies and mop.

Dream days

We spent a wonderful fall week at this lovely home. The decks, the pool, the family areas, the kitchen were all delightful. We ate all our meals at the castle. We were able to create wonderful meals in the well appointed kitchen while the dining area provided unsurpassed views. Loved the ice machine in the wet bar! Multiple master suites will appeal to large groups. The beach gave us hours of enjoyment. We walked daily...appreciating the mile marker on the beach that is just north of the house. The WIFI was a little difficult to access but we were finally successful and enjoyed face time with our family at home,sharing our dream days. We had a problem with the hot tub and it was resolved quickly by the service company. The pool table and space invaders pin ball machine brought back memories, The owner was available and gracious when we contacted him with questions, This home has been well used and will benefit from the owner's TLC this winter but our dream days were just that...thank you,

Thank you for your delightful observations regarding the design and location of Castle by the Sea. Since your departure, we have upgraded the WiFi to extend throughout the house and to the outside decks and pool areas. Since Castle by the Sea has become so popular, we find that it is necessary to repair, refresh and upgrade the interior and exterior of the house during each off-season to return it to peak condition for the next rental season. I must admit it is a rather nice place to work on maintenance during the off-season so we don’t mind the off-season work at all! We hope to see you again next year!

Perfect spot for relaxing

This house has everything you need plus some. The pool was amazing. The sounds of the ocean are literally all through this house. The board walk takes you almost to the water if the sound isn't close enough. Sun rise and coffee was my favorite every morning. The updates on the house are beautiful. What I loved most was the new decking they are upgrading. Not just because the deck was beautiful and the design is magnificent, but the owner himself was doing it. He is a hard working man and what America was founded on, dreams. This home was his wife's favorite, her art still hangs in the house, and the love they have for family shows in every room, detail, and extra amenity they added. Some you won't see listed in the details. I will loved to have my family back again next summer. If you get a chance to stay in the castle by the s sea be sure to decorate a family shell to add to the basket in the library.

Family Beach Trip with minor issues

Great house and oceanfront location. The cleaning service did a substandard job of preparing for our visit. We had to wash some of the linens ourselves. Having beach chairs and toys provided was nice. No beach towels were provided as delineated in the contract and you are penalized extra cleaning charges if you use the bath towels at the beach. I would recommend all who stay here to bring BOTH beach and bath towels. What is provided at the time of this review is not sufficient. The owner, while responding to emails same day, made no initial contact with us to greet us or see if we had questions about the property and use of the facilities. I usually expect this when paying a high price for a VRBO like this one. 11 thousand dollars plus for a week in July.. Bill was apologetic when we had issues and made every effort to correct the problems.

No doubt used to be a castle

We spent a week with friends and family at the end of the 2020 season during pandemic. It was a great way to travel safely and be away from the pressures of Covid. The house is mostly as advertised. There are no gross inaccuracies in the description, but it is obviously a full-time vacation rental and the house is a bit “tired.” The owner was incredibly responsive when the pool broke on the first day and had everything repaired within 24 hours. However, we were disappointed to find that at this price we felt nickel and dimed on the small stuff. There were not nearly enough linens for the house, none for the basement sleeper sofa even after request, and really a scarcity of floor mats that are so crucial to keeping sand out of a beach house. The Beach toys are present but mostly broken, carpets very worn thin, no broom, and no working vacuum. This was all overshadowed by having a private boardwalk to the beach and a pool that is in the afternoon shade. Overall, a lovely time if the niceities can be forgiven.

Fun Family Vacation

We had the best week in this Castle by the Sea!! The layout of the house was perfect for a family, with ample cooking space in the kitchen, and tons of room for family meals and games in the dining room area. The bedrooms were all well sized and very comfortable. One of our favorite admiring activities was sitting on the top deck with our coffee watching for dolphins. The pool area was perfect for our group with plenty of space to spread out. It also gets late afternoon shade which was perfect for when we were ready to get out of the sun, but not quite done playing for the day. The beach was just a short walk away, which was perfect for families with little kids who can’t decide where they want to be. Also, after dinner time, the beach was very quiet, leaving plenty of space for afternoon beach games and quiet gatherings to watch the stars. There is plenty to do right near the house if you want to get out with restaurants, putt putt go karts and grocery stores all right within a 10 minute or less drive. If you have littles, this house has so much for them! Indoor and pool toys as well as DVDS. We did have an issue with the one of the AC units, but I only include that to say that the owner was very quick to respond to get someone in for a fix as soon as possible. These things happen, but the response time was very much appreciated. If we make our way back to Corolla, we will definitely be looking at staying here again!

Thank you for your outstanding review of Castle by the Sea. We designed the house to accomodate large family groups by providing areas for all generations to enjoy. It is so reassuring to receive positive reviews like yours becasue we work so hard every off-season to incorporate the suggestions of past guests to enhance the property. We always try to address issues within 24 hours which we were able to do with the HVAC issue you encountered. We hope you will return in the future.

Absolutely Breathtaking!!!

The house truly is a castle by the sea! The initial veiw of the house is a breath taking blue. It's wide steps welcoming the weary travelor home. From the outside to each inner wall any guest can see a lot of time, thought, and detail went into this palace. Due to traffic I arrived at night after my family who lit the lights. It was gorgeous and so pretty, brightly shining against the dark night sky. I found myself in awe as I climbed the steps and entered the home. I decided to start at the top for the begining of my exploration, so I immediately climbed the stairs to the left of the entrance. Huge windows that gave a perfect view to the ocean greeted me as I reached the last of the steps to be at the highest point. A beautiful deck sat beneath the windows inviting me to get fresh air and to truly appreciate being beside the ocean. The roar of the waves was a welcome note. Inside you could barely hear what was happening outside. All the rooms are beautifully decorated with their own unique design. My whole family was unanimous in is the perfect vacation home. To live there forever would be very pleasant indeed! If I could I definitely would and I would be perfectly happy. This house had so much space and was so quiet between floors and walls that even though we had so many we felt at peace and even alone at times! Our group has multiple families with a total of 8 children from teens to toddlers and we only found each other if we wanted to. Everyone had plenty of room and space to spread out and safely explore without seeming too enclosing to the little ones. The pool was perfect for our mixed aged children, a wading pool for our tiny tots and a larger pool with varying levels of depth. Hot tub was awesome for night time as it got cold out. When inside you would find the kids and teens in Billard hall in the basement either playing pool, foosball or on the arcade 4 player game system. Sometimes in the library upstairs.This castle saw to our every need and the different types of people in our families. Had a fully stocked kitchen with everything you could want/need. The best part is on the walkway to the ocean a large wooden stairwell led us away from the castle to the Sea, however halfway there is a sweet spot where you can look back upon the balconies and beautiful blue home.

À propos de l’hôte

Hôte : Bill

Image de profil de l’hôte
Our four children and Father-in-Law (who lived with us until he passed away at age 96) all enjoy the many faces of the ocean--from calm blue waves lapping on the wide beach to churning whitecaps generated by storms at sea.

After vacationing on the beaches of New Jersey as children, we enjoyed our first family reunions on the beaches of Delaware and Virginia which were too crowded for us. We then moved our reunions farther south to the clean, family-friendly beaches of North Carolina.

Renting first in Duck for a couple of years, we started moving farther north each year in search of larger homes with more amenities and less crowded beaches. After many years of searching, we found our perfect beach community—Corolla. This community offered some of the nicest homes on the Outer Banks with less traffic and uncrowded beaches because it was literally the “end of the road”. North of Corolla, there is no asphalt road; transportation is by 4 wheel drive vehicles driving on the beach.

During our vacations at each of the houses at which we stayed over the years, we made mental notes of features that had worked well for the three generations attending our family reunions. When it was time to build our first beach house, “Castle in the Air”, Bill devoted over 600 hours on a CAD system to incorporate the best features from each of those houses.

We understood the importance of addressing the varied needs of individuals during a multi-generational vacation. Children need an area in which to be children and to play without infringing on the private space required by some adults using the vacation to de-stress. Comfortable beds for all, multiple TV’s so everyone can simultaneously watch their favorite shows, a quality sound system for listening to music, a fully-stocked kitchen with an excellent ocean view, a quiet Sun Room overlooking hundreds of acres of an undeveloped Estuarine Sanctuary.

Bill satisfied all of these requirements in designing the house after which he

Voici pourquoi l’hôte a choisi cet hébergement

Following three years of rave reviews by our guests at "Castle in the Air", we decided to build a second, larger home as close to the ocean as federal and state laws would permit. Using the floorplan about which our guests had showered us with compliments at Castle in the Air, we bumped the exterior walls out 3 feet in each direction, adding almost 2000 square feet of living area: a Breakfast Room overlooking the oceanfront pool and the ocean, three master bedroom bathrooms with two person spas overlooking the ocean and an even larger heated, inground, gunite pool—this time with a separate heated baby pool and oceanfront cabana with a private walkway directly to the beach.

Again, Patrice chose the interior furnishings and decorated the house with her unique, artistic beach décor that she offers for sale at her Etsy shop, Sea Treasure by Patrice.

This larger, oceanfront property we named, “Castle by the Sea”. Designed for multiple generations, this property has also consistently received outstanding reviews by guests—many of whom return year after year to enjoy the upgrades we add to the house during each offseason.

Voici ce qui rend cet hébergement unique

Castle by the Sea was designed to accommodate multiple generations. With four master bedroom suites that overlook the ocean and two additional bedrooms on the West side of the house that can easily accommodate two more adults and six children, the house is comfortable for extended family groups.

The open kitchen was designed with a center island that serves as a gathering place for the family while the cook has both company and excellent views of the ocean.

The library is a favorite of grandparents and those who enjoy a little quiet time while easily participating in all of the family fun.

The middle level is for sleeping, and the ground level is for recreation, particularly suited to children, teenagers and men who like to play pool. The pool table overlooks the oceanfront pool, and the cabana from the oceanfront pool opens to a private walkway onto the beach.

We make improvements to the property each year. For example, during recent off-seasons, we installed new tile in the kitchen, upgraded two of the bathrooms with new tile, vanity and fixtures. We installed a 65” 4K TV in the raised living area, a 53” HD TV in Master Bedroom 31 and a 40” HD TV in the Game Room.

We also repainted the interior of the property and completed a new commercial quality walkway from the oceanfront pool cabana over the dune and onto the beach. In this way, we like to keep our properties current and comfortable for our guests.
