Welcome to Cinco de Mayo, a one-of-a-kind Mediterranean style home in the Ocean Hill community of Corolla. The semi-oceanfront location offers exceptional vistas and convenient access to the beach right across the street. Fabulous amenities including a private pool, grotto, hot tub and rec room are sure to please the entire family. Brimming with character and unexpected features you won't find in your average beach home, Cinco de Mayo is the ideal setting for an memorable vacation.

After a day of fun in the sun, come home and relax in the light-filled living area with soaring ceilings and a wall of ocean-facing windows. Spanish-style tile throughout the common areas is ideal for sandy feet and paws that have just returned from the beach. A well-equipped kitchen surrounds a center island with seating, accepting family and friends to gather in heart of the home and socialize during meal prep. After dinner, the festivities continue in the adjoining rec space with pool table, along with a bar for a pub-style experience without leaving the home. At the end of the nighttime, getaway to the roomy primary bedroom, where you can soak away the day in the garden tub or appreciate some peaceful time on the private balcony. Five additional bedrooms (three of which are ensuites) along with two additional bunk rooms will comfortably accommodate everybody in your group. Cinco de Mayo is dog-friendly, so canine companions can be on the guest list too.

The Mediterranean theme continues outside with a private pool surrounded by an broad deck for calming in the sun with a margarita in hand. Serve poolside drinks and snacks from the bar inside the grotto. It leads to a secluded backyard space where you can take a relaxing soak in the bubbly hot tub.

Cinco de Mayo is just a mile north from historic Corolla Village. Explore unique shopping, dining and family-friendly activities at the Corolla Light Town Center.
