Just a quarter mile from the sand, this roomy retreat was designed for extended families and groups looking for easy beach days and plenty of ways to unwind together. Whether you're exploring nearby Historic Corolla Park, riding jet skis at Corolla Watersports, navigating the ropes course at Corolla Adventure Park, or going offroad on the 4x4 beach, you're perfectly located for the ultimate OBX experience.

Space to Gather and Enjoy
Inside, large open living areas and comfortable furnishings make the home both functional and welcoming.
