New to Seaside for 2022!

Soundside Vacation Oasis
If you're in the market for a soundside sanctuary with lots of natural light and plenty of amenities, Drifting Sands is the beach house for you. Located in the beautiful Monteray Shores Community in Corolla, this 4 Bedroom, 3.5 Bathroom beach house is the perfect place to enjoy open spaces and beach breezes. Take advantage of the countless amenities provided as part of the Monteray Shores Community including a tennis court, boat ramp, basketball court, and fitness center. Watch the priceless Outer Banks sunrise from the furnished top sun deck or go for a swim in your private pool. And when sand and sun are calling your name, Drifting Sands is only a 3-minute drive/0.9 mile from the Sailfish Dr. Public Beach Access, which has parking, a lifeguard, and a wooden walkway, meaning that nothing will be standing in the way of you and your perfect beach vacation.

As soon as you enter Drifting Sands, you will be met with calm, beachy vibes and an absolutely pleasant atmosphere ideal for vacation relaxation.On this floor, you'll find a spacious Queen bedroom and a room with 2 twin beds. A combined hallway bathroom with individual sinks means no fighting over bathroom counter space. Go directly out back from this floor to access the luxurious private pool and a patio with reclining lounge chairs.

Head upstairs and you'll find the spacious living area where a Palladian-style window opens up the space to bathe the room in natural light. Enjoy a quiet evening cozying up on the couches as a family while you watch your favorite movie on the flat screen TV or simply spend time together prepping for the next days' adventures. Prepare a luscious breakfast in the modern kitchen to enjoy in the dining area, which can seat 6, or at the breakfast bar with its 2 additional chairs. At sunset, take a walk out onto the furnished sun deck to enjoy an evening seafood spectacular or an adult drink as you lay back on the comfortable outdoor furniture and watch the stars appear in the sky. You'll also find the King Master Bedroom (with private deck access) and the Queen Master Bedroom on this floor, each with their own private bathrooms with another half-bathroom down the hall.

When it's time for some fun, take the stairs down to the private pool for a swim or getting a tan out on the patio. With the beach only 1 mile away (3-minute drive/15-minute walk), it's easy to spend the day in the waves before coming back, rinsing off in the outdoor shower, and tossing the laundry in the downstairs washer and dryer. Be sure to take advantage of all of the Monteray Shores Community benefits including a clubhouse, fitness center, and playground. And don't forget to bring the boat since the community also offers sound access with a boat ramp! If drifting off into the perfect vacation is your goal, Drifting Sands is the perfect vacation spot for you and your family.

An Unbeatable Beach Town of Local History, Shopping, Dining, and Attractions
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. No matter how you spend your vacation days in Corolla, they are sure to be so unforgettable that you'll return year after year!

Family vacation

The house was perfect for our family of 8. We all enjoyed the pool and spending time together. Some things in the house are a bit dated and it could use painting inside and out. But not a bid deal. The rental company was very responsive to my calls and answered questions quickly. We would stay there again, but really want something on the beach next time.

Nice stay but horrible management and needs some TLC

The beds were comfortable and the space fit the needs of our group. Upon arrival we noticed some small issues and replied to an email that was received wanting to know about the cleanliness. As it was Sunday, a response was not expected. Sunday evening, we tried to use the oven and smoke just billowed out. Luckily there was a toaster oven that met our needs. Monday morning, I called to discuss the issued emailed and the issue with the oven. I was told that the oven was a major issue and that a technician would be sent out that day. Tuesday morning I called again to get a status update as no one showed up. I had to leave a message. I never got a call back nor did anyone come out to address the issues. Highly disappointing! The home is in need of some TLC, there were blinds missing on the door in the upstairs queen bedroom, the shingles by the pool had chipped paint and the bathrooms and kitchen were dated.
