Amenities and Location

Outside, the gas grill, two outdoor showers, basketball hoop, and generous deck space keep everyone happily occupied between swims. Corolla, at the northern end of the Outer Banks, is known for wide beaches of finely textured sand and clean rolling surf, with shopping and dining close at hand.

Pool: Pool is heated by heat pump. Consistent air temperature of 60 degrees or higher is needed to heat the pool. Max pool temp is 85 degrees. Pool heat is offered at no cost. 2026 pool dates are 4/5/2026 to 10/25/2026 and 2027 pool dates are 3/28/2027 to 10/24/2027.

Path to Beach: Due to shifting ocean currents and wind, it is not unusual for sand to cover the beach walkway.
