About this House

Eclectic oceanfront charm and character with fantastic views and strong rentals are found in this 5 bedroom/3 bath home, featuring an updated kitchen with stainless appliances and gorgeous quartz counters/glass tile backsplash, screened porch for oceanside dining, 12x28 pool, hot tub, dune-top gazebo, and private beach access. The main level of the home has ocean views from the east king bedroom, while the west bedrooms (king & pyramid) have access to a large front deck. The living and kitchen areas are all ceramic tile flooring for ease of maintenance. The upper level of the home features an open bridge overlooking the family room, spanning north to south between two king bedrooms- both with amazing ocean views- one of which is an en suite with built-in vanity. This is not your cookie cutter Whalehead home in decor or design. Although fully functional, a savvy buyer might want to enjoy the rentals for a while and later build an Oceanfront dream home. This is the 2nd lowest priced Oceanfront home in Whalehead= buy, rent, build!

"It’s a great place for dogs but make sure they are on a leash. The sidewalks are nice and the roads are nice just to make sure you bring something to pick up your dog Pooh. And when crossing the streets make sure you look for cars with your animals because you have to cross the street a couple times to get to the beach"

"This is the most desirable neighborhood you could ask for. It is the historic Village of Corolla. So quaint, so unique and well done. Historic lighthouse, sand roads, cute shops and fabulous neighbors as well as a great beach make this place so special."

"Relatively quiet except for the middle of summer, this area is a little harder to get to, which keeps the crowds and strip malls away for the most part. The beaches are great, it's very safe, there are all types and varieties of houses for rent, there is planty to do and many great restaurants in the area."

"We've been taking the family here for 9 years and finally bought our own place here, that's how much we like it. I don't know about the schools since it's a vacation place. The traffic is tough on the weekends but that's about the only negative thing I can think of. "
