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 giant, 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 conveniently 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 TV 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. Plus, Swell offers an abundance of games, books, puzzles, and activities for those cozy nights in.

With its prime location near Historic Corolla Park/Whalehead, Swell offers a ideal location for wedding event groups, families looking to capture memories in photos, and leisurely walks all year round. You are a one-min. walk from all the beauty and history this area has to offer.

In addition, The Salty Rim can deliver service to community recreational areas and rental properties, adding even more convenience and culinary options during your stay.

Swell has 2 dedicated parking spots for guests - in the driveway and garage as well as a private electric car charging outlet. There is limited visitor parking in the community so please plan accordingly to avoid challenges.

Booking the best Currituck vacation rental experience:

Getting the most from your budget:

• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is high season in Corolla. Booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is a good way to save money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Currituck vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your group.
• Booking websites often offer guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Currituck visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guides have deals for local shops and restaurants.

Make a plan and choose the right Currituck rental home:

• Start by choosing your vacation dates and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Life is Swell - Enjoy it at the beach! Pet Friendly! has 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally available on booking websites. Otherwise, email or call the property management company before you book the home. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but others do not. Allowable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the property management company about pets before booking.
• Visiting for a single event? If so, use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Have a fantastic stay:

• Take a copy of the host's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, television set or kitchen appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent lots of concerns.
• Lock your rental property while you're gone! Don't let crooks spoil your holiday.
• To make sure damages aren't linked to your family's visit, note any problem areas upon your arrival. Make contact with the rental manager right away to relay any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Re-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items at check-out. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your group have a terrific stay? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your property and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
