Where is the tent space located in the back of the house? 

Sound to Sea Beach Club was uniquely designed with a leading Wedding Planner to allow for a large 30 feet by 60 feet area (1,800 square feet!) to be tented between the pool area and the oceanfront dune.  

Is the tent anticipated to be over concrete, grass, or both? 

The tenting area will be over a grassy/beach area.

Does the tent rental have to be through a certain provider? 

Any tent provider can be used. Check Twiddy's website for recommended providers. 

Are there permanent tent stakes in the ground? 

Permanent stakes will be provided. 

What are the measurements of the outdoor space in the back? 

Beyond the pool complex and before the dune, a 30x60 area is provided for tenting for events or fun yard activities for families.

What is the event capacity of the home? 

100-150 comfortably.  Large open areas are provided on both the 3rd and 2nd floors of the home that offers both an opportunity to have interior/exterior venues and an excellent Plan B should the weather not cooperate.  

When house is not used for wedding or events, what can the large oceanfront area be used for? 

The large area between the impressive pool complex and oceanfront area is great for families.  Yard games such as volleyball, horseshoes and corn hole are provided.   A putting green is also located along the side of the pool area.

How many cars does the driveway hold? 

The driveway will provide parking for 8 cars.

Is there any overflow parking at the home or near it for event guests? 

The house is located within a very short walking distance to the Hampton Inn Hotel in Corolla for guests deciding to stay at the hotel.

Will the tented area have electrical hook-up for the band placement? 

Yes, Sound to Sea Beach Club has been designed to allow for one of the largest oceanfront tenting areas in the OBX. The tenting area will be 40 feet by 60 feet (2,400 square feet total!) which allows for a huge space for tables/chairs, catering tables, dance floor and band setup. Permanent stakes for tenting purposed and electrical outlets will be readily available in this area.

How much is the special event fee? 

$2000 plus tax. 

What does the special event fee cover?

The event fee covers additional costs associated with hosting large groups. Fees are set by each individual homeowner and are non-negotiable and non-refundable. The event fee also covers a Special Event Liability Insurance Policy.

For more information on the policy, please visit: http://www.wedsafe.com/event-liability-insurance.html.

The event fee does not cover moving furniture back to its original place, excessive trash left at the home, excessive cleaning (both inside or outside), or damages to the property (both inside or outside).

Can you please describe the Pool and Lazy River? 

Sound to Sea Beach Club offers the first Lazy River home in the Outer Banks. The impressive pool starts with a flat 2 feet deep area great for kiddie pool or a place to relax in your beach loungers with water surrounding you. You can then step down into the main pool area which descends to 5 feet. In between these two pool areas is a swim up bar. A fun Lazy River circles the entire pool and even goes under a bridge with water jets (tubes provided!).  

Can the pool be covered for events? 

Sound to Sea Beach Club offers the Outer Bank its first Lazy River Pool.  Although the pool cannot be covered, it shouldn’t be necessary. The design of the home provides a large area beyond the pool area to allow for maximum tenting (30x60).  During events, the lighted pool will serve as an impressive backdrop.  

Is the pool area fenced? 

The pool area will be completely fenced with nice looking fencing that has lights for a nice evening effect.

Will there be direct access to the dune deck and beach from the pool? 

There will be a gate that will provide direct, easy access to the oceanfront dune deck and beach.

Anything else we should be aware of? 

The house has been designed with significant input from one of the top Wedding Planners in OBX.  We have added these types of features to the design to ensure a great event.

"Similar to" photos were taken from a sister house, the Pine Island Beach Club (ER009). While maintaining the warm feeling exhibited in the pictures shown, Sound to Sea Beach Club will be decorated in a lighter and more bright beach decor suitable for an event home.

With its Lazy River Pool, 16 bedrooms, putting green and large space near the oceanfront loaded with outdoor games, the house provides an incredible family vacation home.

Sound to Sea Beach Club (EC3) is a sister house to the Pine Island Beach Club (ER009) which is located on the same street and only six (6) houses apart.  Should a guest be interested in renting both houses, special discounts will apply.  With EC3 and ER009 combined, the homes would offer a total of 28 bedrooms.
