Behind the door of a private home theater, SUN CATCHER reveals the kind of detail that sets this oceanfront Whalehead estate apart. Offered by Carolina Designs, this 8-bedroom Corolla retreat gives every bedroom its own private bath, plus an elevator and hot tub.

After sunset, Sun Catcher continues to glow with music, a game room, and big screen televisions with surround sound. Take a short walk to the nearby dining and shops of Timbuck II, visit the Currituck Beach Lighthouse and the historic Whalehead Club, or take a cool stroll on a moonlit beach.
