About this House

Welcome to 852 Lighthouse, a beautifully maintained semi-oceanfront retreat in Corolla’s coveted Whalehead community — known for its expansive lots and rare privacy for larger residences. Ideally positioned just steps from beach access, this spacious 8-bedroom, 6.5-bath home blends comfort, functionality, and relaxed coastal elegance.
The top level features a bright, open-concept living area where the living room, dining space, and kitchen flow seamlessly together, filled with natural light and ocean views. The thoughtfully designed kitchen offers a countertop cooktop, stacked ovens, dual dishwashers, and abundant prep space — perfect for entertaining. The adjoining dining area creates a warm setting perfect for large gatherings. The primary suite on this level serves as a private escape, complete with a jetted soaking tub, walk-in shower, dual vanities, a spacious walk-in closet, and serene ocean views. Two expansive decks — one east-facing for sunrise and one west-facing for sunset — extend the living space outdoors, with exterior stairs leading directly to the pool area and a convenient half bath.

The second level offers four well-appointed bedrooms, including one en suite, along with two additional full baths. A secondary living area provides a cozy space for movie nights or quiet relaxation, and an additional deck invites you to enjoy the coastal breeze. A charming half-level sitting nook adds flexibility — ideal for reading, meditation, or a peaceful retreat.

On the ground floor, a spacious game room with ample seating and a convenient kitchenette anchors the space. Three additional bedrooms, two full baths, and a laundry room with storage make this level ideal for extended families, guest groups, or multigenerational stays. Storage is thoughtfully included throughout the home for ease and organization.

Outdoors, the property truly shines. The expansive lot allows for exceptional amenities, including a private pool, hot tub, and a large backyard with a sand volleyball court. An outdoor shower simplifies beach days, and the nearby direct beach access keeps the ocean close at hand.

    "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"

    "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. "
