Behind the door of a home theater, movie nights set the tone at Sun Catcher, a Carolina Designs oceanfront estate in Corolla's Whalehead neighborhood where all eight bedrooms have their own private bath. An elevator reaches every floor, and the pool and hot tub sit just steps from the beach.
Overview
Sun Catcher captures all that the Outer Banks has to offer in a beautiful oceanfront Whalehead estate. Every thoughtful detail, from the oceanfront pool and hot tub to the game room with kitchenette and a private bath for each of the eight bedrooms, reflects the owner's thorough planning and careful anticipation of your vacation needs. A well stocked kitchen includes a refrigerator, two cooktops, two ovens, two dishwashers, and a butler's pantry, offering ample space to prepare a vacation meal for the whole group. Awake to the ocean sunrise with fabulous oceanfront views. Sit under the vaulted ceilings and look out the Palladian windows of the great room, dining rooms or loft, or enjoy a drink on the screened porch or the expansive decks that wrap the house. Fill your days with fun at the beach with direct ocean access from your own dune deck, or relax on the sun deck overlooking your private pool and hot tub. After sunset, Sun Catcher continues to glow with music, a game room, big screen televisions and surround sound. Take a short walk to the nearby dining and shops of Timbuck II, or head out for a cool stroll on a moonlit beach. With eight bedrooms, an elevator, 11 TVs and room for two dogs with a fee, the pleasure and enjoyment are unlimited at this OBX vacation rental. Book early, you'll be back every year!
