Splash into a 28 x 14 private pool with free pool heat: PARADISE PALMS, a Carolina Designs eight bedroom retreat in Corolla's Whalehead community, pairs a cabana and hot tub with beach access just 389 yards away, plus shops and dining nearby.
Watch the sun rise over the ocean from this well-appointed home in Whalehead, a centrally located community in Corolla. Only 389 yards to the beach access, and less than a mile from restaurants and shops, you'll never have to look far for sun, laughs, and fun. Additional close-by attractions include the Currituck Lighthouse, wild horses of Carova, spas, golf, an adventure park, and a summer movie theater. Furnished to appeal to the young and the young-at-heart, this home invites you to pursue recreation and repose in equal measure with a variety of entertainment choices and plenty of space for quiet contemplation.
A highlight of this Outer Banks home is the expansive gated pool area, providing endless fun for kids and adults alike. A volleyball area and basketball hoop offer additional outdoor fun, and a cabana and hot tub are great for evenings spent poolside. Two outdoor showers rinse away the sand after a beach day, and seven parking spaces leave room for the whole group. Inside, the recreation room is a natural gathering spot for the whole group. The great room and all bedrooms offer cable, as well as Blu-ray DVD players, with 10 TVs and 9 DVD players in all, plus free high-speed wireless internet throughout. Catch summer sun rays on the outdoor deck overlooking the backyard. In the cooler months, the seasonal fireplace (October through March) makes the great room a cozy gathering spot.
