About this property
A Golden Opportunity: Semi-Oceanfront w/Heated Pool, Hot Tub and Across from Beach!
A Golden Opportunity: Semi-Oceanfront home in the Whalehead Beach Community in Corolla with a private heated pool, hot tub and is located directly across from the beach!
Bed Sizes (after new addition is complete): 3 King, 1 Queen, 2 Twins, 2 Bunk Beds
New for 2025: Two new bedrooms along with 3 additional bathrooms will be added along with a new great room with extra seating!
Don't miss this golden opportunity to visit a slice of paradise in Whalehead! Located on a semi-oceanfront lot, A Golden Opportunity is a newly updated 6 bedroom, 6 bath home that is just steps away from the beach. Conveniently located across from the beach access, you and your group will be at the beach with your toes in the sand in no time!
Inside the home, coastal charm and modern amenities blend seamlessly to create the perfect spot for your OBX vacation. The top level of the home offers panoramic views and sun decks allowing you to catch glimpses of the ocean while you sip your morning coffee, or enjoy your meals in the screened porch overlooking the beach. All of the bedrooms are on the mid-level, making them easy to access while giving everyone a quiet place to relax after a busy day of exploring Corolla. Spending time outside on the pool deck will be the highlight of the trip. Enclosed in its own private yard, you'll have access to a large heated pool (pool heat can be added on for an additional fee) along with a hot tub and picnic area, covered by the pergola. Try your skills at a volleyball game with your own private court in the backyard.

Exploring the Outer Banks: While in Corolla, you can't miss out on visiting the many shopping, eating and sightseeing options on the north-end of the OBX. Just to the north of the home, you'll find Whalehead Park, which is home to the Whalehead Club which sits right on the sound, perfect for catching gorgeous sunsets over the water. Take a climb up the Currituck Lighthouse and capture views of the Outer Banks from the sky!
Beach Access: Just a quick walk from the home! Head north out of the driveway and cross Lighthouse Drive at Herring Street. The beach access has a cleared dune walkover for easy access.
Heated pools are available Week Prior to Easter through Memorial Day and Labor Day Week through Mid-October.
Pools are set at a comfortable 78-80 degrees during the heated season. Please note that for optimal performance, outside temperatures must remain around 60 degrees or warmer. Various weather conditions such as wind speed and direction can affect the heat performance.
No Smoking/Vaping. No Pets Allowed. Private pools open Easter through Columbus Day.
