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 newly 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-sizable island with counter-height seating, and offers extraordinary vistas of the outdoor space.

Tricks and tips to get the optimal rental home experience:

Money saving strategies:

• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Kitty Hawk area. Booking your Kitty Hawk vacation rental in Fall or Spring is a great way to save money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Kitty Hawk vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your family qualifies for a discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Kitty Hawk area visitor guide magazines which include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Kitty Hawk visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

• Keep your rental home locked while you're gone! Don't let burglars spoil your family vacation.

• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious vacationers disrupting your peace. Employ the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would have never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually help. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Just before checking out, take a final walk-through to make sure you haven't leave anything behind. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental one final time and scan for damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager is not available, remember to take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on good reviews to propel future reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your feedback find their best vacation rental. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
