Do you dream of sipping a glass of wine while watching sunset kiss the water on the horizon? Or is an exhilarating ride along the beach in your 4x4 vehicle more to your taste? Whatever your ideal vacation, you can make it a reality with our home as your base in Corolla! Our family first fell in love with the Outer Banks area back in 1972, when the area was only a string of small fishing villages. We have been bringing our family here for over thirty years! This area offers a wonderful family environment especially on the North Beaches where there is less traffic and fewer commercial establishments. Our children remember times in our Corolla home as some of the most treasured experiences with family and friends. As adults, the memories continue to build. We aim to provide our guests with all they need to fall in love with Corolla and all the area has to offer. Our home is perfectly situated in a quiet neighborhood with paved streets, one block off of the sound and a short walk to beach access; three shopping centers; grocery stores; a movie theater; restaurants; nature preserves and trails; 4x4 beach access; wildlife museum and weekly wine tastings and crafter at the Whalehead Club; and more! The oceanfront (with free parking) is 5 easy, walkable, blocks away. If you have a 4x4 vehicle, the Carova beach–known for its unpaved, sand road and resident wild Spanish horses–is less than 10 minutes away. If you prefer to stay closer to home, Monteray Shores offers a multitude of amenities, all within a very short, easy walk of the house. Here you’ll find two piers; a small boat ramp; a playground for the kids; basketball, tennis and pickleball courts; swimming pools; a fitness center; and miles of walking/biking trails. A paved bike trail running adjacent to Route 12 has been recently added and eventually will connect the most northern points of Corolla to the small southern town of Duck. You'll find so many activities, conveniences, an adventure ropes park, fishing, crabbing, putt-putt courses, go-karts, putt putt, a lighthouse, and more just to name a few–a short distance away. This well-appointed home includes all you’ll need for a comfortable stay. The kitchen is stocked with all essentials for preparing enjoyable meals: refrigerator, freezer, 4-burner electric stove, oven, microwave, dishwasher, pots, pans, ample place settings, toaster, 12 cup coffee maker, single cup coffee maker, coffee grinder, mixer, blender, crock pot and more. Our tenants can soak up the sun on three decks and enjoy high-speed Wi-Fi, a hammock, 2 children’s swings, sand toys, bikes, a charcoal grill, corn hole, and more. We hope you have nothing but sunshine and clear skies during your stay, but should you have a rainy day, we have you covered! Curl up with a book (children’s or adult’s) from our library, watch a movie on the large smart TV (DVD player included), or play one of our family games or puzzles. Our home has all even the littlest guests need to be comfortable; we provide a highchair, pack n’ play, and baby gate. We provide all you need for a great stay: Wi-Fi, fully equipped kitchen, sand toys, beach chairs, bikes in assorted sizes, bed linens, full-sized washer and dryer, family games and puzzles, and books. There’s no additional fee to use any of our community amenities, bed linens, or house cleaning. It's all included in the rental fee! The use of the property is restricted to You and Your family. A “family” means parents, grandparents, children, and extended family members vacationing at the property. For example, use of the property by fraternities, sororities, groups under the age of 25, or unrelated groups is prohibited.
