SUMMER MOON - Vacation rental home in Corolla, NC

With a private bathroom attached to every one of its 12 bedrooms, Summer Moon erases the biggest puzzle of a big-group vacation before anyone unpacks. This oceanfront Whalehead estate, offered by Carolina Designs, backs up that layout with an elevator, a home theater, and a recreation room.

Overview

The attention to detail, the modern decor throughout, and the natural light that captivates each room will have you wishing you didn't have to leave. This 12-bedroom oceanfront estate in Corolla offers uninterrupted views of the Atlantic, a private bathroom in each bedroom, deck access from nearly every room in the house, and a rec room equipped to entertain visitors of all ages. Nineteen flatscreen TVs are spread throughout the home, an elevator connects the levels, and free high-speed wireless internet keeps everyone connected.

The great room, dining area, and kitchen all share an open floor plan on the top floor, along with a wet bar that includes a sink, standalone ice maker, and mini-fridge. The wet bar is next to an additional lounge area with a mounted flatscreen TV and access to the covered deck outside.

There is also a kitchenette in the rec room that includes a full-sized refrigerator, sink, dishwasher, and a bar with a built-in card table.

Spend your vacation taking strolls along the shoreline, kicking back in your favorite beach chair, and catching some rays. Whalehead places you close to everything that makes this stretch of the Outer Banks special, from the Currituck Beach Lighthouse and the historic Whalehead Club to wild horse tours, surf shops, and the shops and restaurants at Monteray Plaza, Tim Buck II, and Corolla Light Town Center.
