With a private walkway from the oceanfront pool and spa over the dunes and directly onto the beach, this striking oceanfront home was constructed as close to the ocean as possible and was bespoke designed to maximize exceptional ocean vistas from every room.
Appreciate spectacular sunrises over the ocean, play in the 40’ pool with elevated infant pool and 4’ waterfall, then relax under the stars in the poolside hot tub at your very own “Castle by the Sea”!
The home features 4 master bedroom suites on the oceanfront, 3 additional bedrooms on the west side of the home, and 8 bathrooms including the poolside cabana.

Arise early for a cup of coffee with family or friends (on the elevated gazebo with constructed-in seating at the end of the private boardwalk), and share the experience of spectacular sunrises illuminating the ocean waves with purple, pink and red hues.
Spread your towels, your tent and even your playpen (from the home’s infant closet) on the beach at the end of the private walkway for a day of tanning and playing in the roaring ocean waves—all visible from the Raised Living Area, Dining Room, Breakfast Room and Master Bedroom by members of your event who prefer or need to remain inside.
When it’s time to relax in the shade, return to your “Castle” where you can play in the 40' x 20' oceanfront pool with elevated infant pool and 4' waterfall or read on the pool deck, one of 4 other decks or in the library-- private places even with sizable family groups.

Before retiring to one of 4 master bedroom suites, sip a glass of wine with friends and family on the upper level decks while admiring the mesmerizing light of the historic Corolla lighthouse that has served as a warning beacon for ships off the Outer Banks for nearly 150 years.
Watch your favorite show or movie on the 65” 4K TV with Surround Sound in the Raised Living Area, or play a competitive game on the professional pool table.
For a more relaxing setting, sit in the rockers or glider on the oceanfront decks and let the stresses of the world slip away to the comforting rhythm of the rolling waves. Or, from the decks on the north and west sides of your “Castle” let your mind drift to the tales of the Outer Banks while you observe the warning beacon of the historic Corolla Lighthouse guiding the fishing vessels on their nightly rounds along the coast.

How to book the best rental home experience:
Sticking to a budget:
- To find the most suitable rental for your budget, we strongly suggest reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Currituck vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
- In the Currituck area, The sooner you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best properties are reserved very early. Booking your vacation rental six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
- Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
- Management companies and individual rental owners often offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
- Many property management companies supply Currituck area visitor guide magazines which will include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.
How to select the best rental home in Corolla:
- Select a group leader, select your vacation week, and select a maximum budget.
- Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your group needs. OCEANFRONT:7 Bed;8 Bath;2 Heated Pools;4 Whirlpools;Spa;Private Walkway to beach has 8 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms.
- Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always available online. If you don't see them listed, email the host before you book the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds.
- Are you visiting for a single event or attraction? Try a map search to find nearby properties.
- Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.
- If your family is traveling with pets, filter your search for a rental that allows animals. Ask for specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Often, property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
Considerations for your stay:
- Add the property manager's phone number to your smartphone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
- During check-in, make note of any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
- Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, intercom or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent many issues.
- Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are a terrific resource to find the best local spots.
- Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
- Lock your vacation home while you are out. Protect your property!
- Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected everything. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
- Go through the property one final time and scan for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take photographs of the rental to record its condition.
- Did your group have a excellent time? Many rental managers make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
