Life is Swell @ The Beach Club at Whalehead

Life is Swell at this brand-new, opulent bungalow by the sea – a true WOW vacation opportunity. Located at the northern tip of North Carolina's Outer Banks, Corolla beckons with the promise of shoreline adventures—whether admiring wild mustangs, angling for the big catch of the day or appreciating some beach time fun. Round up your closest friends and cherished family for a well-deserved getaway by the sea.

Just across the street from the historic Whalehead Park, Historic Corolla and the functional Currituck Lighthouse, the Beach Club at Whalehead is a unique community that offers a wide range of amenities to savor during your stay.

Step outside and indulge in the humongous, heated resort-style pool with daily cabana rental available**, ideal for calming and soaking up the sun. Cabanas include a private TV, mini refrigerator, couch/table, curtains for privacy, and outlets to keep your devices charged for capturing those memorable moments. Nearby, comfortable seating areas with gas firepits await, ideal for evening gatherings under the stars.

The pristine beaches are effortlessly accessible via an ADA compliant paved sidewalk, ensuring convenience for all guests. For those seeking relaxation after a long day of fun, your private hot tub and outdoor TV provide the ultimate getaway. Swell is also dog-friendly, ensuring that your four-legged friends can join in on the fun. We may be biased, but we think the hot tub (Swell is one of the few properties in the community that has one) is literally the best place in the entire community to watch the sunset over Historic Corolla Park or to view close by bald eagle nest from.

After a day at the beach, rinse off or clean your pups in the private outdoor shower before retreating to the comfort of your choice of three king bedrooms, each offering a cozy and peaceful ambiance. Entertainment options abound with cable T.V. and intelligent TVs in all rooms and the living room. All rooms also have ample additional charging outlets for your use during your stay.

Swell’s well-appointed kitchen is a haven for the cooks in your group, equipped with everything needed to prepare delicious meals and beach treats. The open floorplan and upsized kitchen island mean everybody will be a part of the fun. Just mins. from grocery and other conveniences including a brand-new ABC Store, you can shop once and never get in your car again during your stay if you so want.

Additional amenities include a private electric car charging outlet in the garage, and a dog park for your furry companions to appreciate. Great new features available as of summer 2024 include access to an on-site Mexican-style casual restaurant "The Salty Rim," clubhouse, exercise center, massage therapy services and pickleball court for those looking to stay active during your stay.

Our top Rental property booking tips:

Cost saving strategies:

• To find the best value, try shifting your group's vacation dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer great weather, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts offer discounts for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers often offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Currituck area travel guides that include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Currituck visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to choose and book the rightrental home:

• First and foremost, have your group commit to trip dates and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Life is Swell - Enjoy it at the beach! Pet Friendly! has 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is generally accessible online. If they are not listed, call the property owner before you reserve your home. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If there's an individual Currituck beach you are crazy about, search for homes that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking
• Some rental properties allow pets, and others don't. Acceptable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask your host about your furry family members before booking.

During your stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property. We recommend storing the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Make a record of any issues with the rental at check in, and immediately contact the owner. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be helpful if damages are assessed.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, elevator or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents many difficulties.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome visitors bothering your peace. Apply the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and places you would've never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are away, just like you would at home.
• On check-out day, complete a final walk-through to make sure you have not leave anything behind. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the property a final time and look for damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever possible. If the manager is not available, remember to take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave feedback! Hosts rely on excellent feedback to propel more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will will be grateful for your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
