Construction Completion Details:
SkiEsta is designed as a 10 bedroom home that sleeps 38 people. The home is divided into two units and can be rented as a 6BR, sleeps 24; a 4 BR which sleeps 14; or the entire home. On November 1st, the main portion of the house (6BR, sleeps 24) will be completed. We are currently offering that for rent and the pricing reflects that.
The completion date on the lower level, 4BR unit is December 15th. The home is completely sound-proofed, with three inches of concrete poured on every floor, insulation between all floors and interior partitions, and Soundbreak acoustical drywall in between units and other high noise areas. There will be no construction allowed during guest occupancy.
Interior Finish Expectations:
To get a sense of what the finished home will look like inside, we encourage you to view our other properties and read guest comments. Each bedroom has custom made/designed bedding and window treatments. All of the furniture was purchased either from specialty retailers and craftsmen or in High Point, North Carolina -- the furniture capital of the USA. The house will feature a number of custom built-ins -- two window seats, sleeping platforms, entertainment units, cabinets, mud-room seating, ski-pegs, hat/mitten/boot shelving, bay window seat, etc. The design work in the flooring in every room is outstanding and unlike anything you have every seen before. The magnificent arched timber trusses and the one of a kind 40 foot masonry fireplace are truly unique. The central staircase is mahogany with black iron balusters. There are 5 custom tile, granite, travertine, & marble showers. The kitchen will not only please your family chef but may very well earn a feature magazine spread.

Guest Book:
'Another wonderful vacation at Sea Esta. We love your home. The new appliances in the kitchen are fantastic, the new walk way over the dunes is so much easier and we saw spectacular fireworks from there on the 4th. Our Grandchildren spent hours in the pool and we have come to think of Sea Esta as our second home. One of our Grandson's said after coming home that he 'wanted to go back to Granmom's beach house'. Thanks for making it such a comfortable place for our whole family to enjoy, we look forward to many more summer's at Sea Esta.' Frank & JoAnn Ridolphi, Oakton, VA
'Loved! Loved! Loved It! This was our fourth house rental on the Outer Banks! Nothing could improve this house and our stay. My mother is slightly handicapped so the elevator and all the
ramps were a godsend! We have two dogs, and the way the decking and ramps all had gates made it perfect to keep pets and children in. Breathtaking views, beautiful furniture, a kitchen I did not want to leave!
Other Activities:
white water rafting, ATV rides, snowmobiling, snow shoeing, ice skating, dog sledding, berry and apple picking, rock climbing, scenic drives, etc.
