About this property

Oceanfront views;one lot from ocean;3 Pools;Spa;Whirlpools;Tennis;965 Acre Park

Open weeks in June, July and August have been discounted up to $700. Custom-designed and beautifully decorated, this semi-oceanfront, 6 bedroom home offers unobstructed ocean views over the community's oceanfront pool without incurring the cost of an oceanfront property.
*3rd and 4th level decks provide fantastic views of the Currituck Lighthouse and sunsets over the 965 acre National Estuarine Reserve and Currituck Sound.

Play in the large private pool with mini-waterslide and rock waterfall, relax in the hot tub overlooking the ocean, or watch the shooting stars from the skydeck of your own ''Castle in the Air''!

Access to the beach is a short walk across the quiet community road to the commercial boardwalk alongside the oceanfront pool and over the protective dunes--less than 200 feet. If your group absolutely must be on the oceanfront or needs a second vacation property, please see our larger property, Castle by the Sea (#393567).

If you’re looking for something to occupy your time that doesn’t involve lounging Oceanside on the community’s uncrowded beaches, Villages at Ocean Hill offers a full-service gym—complete with both weight and cardio equipment, a sport court, two tennis courts, and a basketball court for maximum fitness opportunities. There’s also a freshly paved 2-mile bike path that connects Villages at Ocean Hill with the Corolla Light resort community, as well as two large swimming pools that are open from 10 a.m.-6:00 p.m.

If you’re a golf enthusiast and hope to hit the links during your stay on North Carolina’s Outer Banks, The Currituck Club is located just 6 miles from the Villages at Ocean Hill.

Ground Level: Game Room with full-size commercial-grade pool table, Classic Space Invaders full-size commercial-grade arcade machine and Beverage Center; Mirrored Workout Room; Laundry Room with washer, dryer, ironing board, and iron; Recreation Room with Queen sleep sofa and entertainment center, 32'' LED HDTV and DVD player; and Half Bath across from the Entrance Foyer.

Accessible from both the ground and first floors, the 40' concrete pool nestled in the backyard next to the National Estuarine Sanctuary features a mini-waterslide, rock waterfall and tiled aquatic images in the bottom of the pool. For your convenience, there is an adjoining Outdoor Shower with Changing Cabana. The children in your party will find this level provides the vacation of which they were dreaming: splashing in the pool, sliding on the mini-waterslide; playing pool in the Game Room; watching their favorite show on their own TV; and playing their latest video game in the Recreation Room. This level also satisfies the dream of parents--a safe area for kids to be kids without disturbing the adults in your party.

Mid Level: The Entry Foyer with large closet opens to two hallways that serve the 3 Master Bedroom Suites and two additional Bedrooms on this floor. The North Master Bedroom Suite is furnished with a Queen Bed, Ceiling Fan, Closet, 24'' HDTV/DVD combo, Clock Radio and sliding glass doors to the Oceanfront deck with two person swing and access to the pool area; it offers direct access to a bath with shower, toilet and sink.

The Center Master Bedroom Suite is furnished with a King Bed, Built-in desk, Ceiling Fan, Closet, Clock Radio, Entertainment Center with 32'' HDTV, DVD player, and oversized sliding glass doors to the Oceanfront deck with access to the pool area; it offers a Private Bath with 2 person whirlpool tub, shower, toilet, double vanity and toiletries closet.

The South Master Bedroom Suite is furnished with a Queen Bed, Ceiling Fan, Closet, 24'' HDTV/DVD combo, Clock Radio and sliding glass doors to the Oceanfront deck with private seating and access to the pool area; it offers direct access to a bath with shower, toilet and sink.

Top Level: The top level features a raised Great Room with wonderful ocean views through its window wall, built-in window seating, wood fireplace, and an entertainment wall with a 55'' LED HDTV, DVD player, CD/MP3 player, and 5.1 Surround Sound System with iPod/Aux connection.

The Master Bedroom on this level offers a Queen bed, Entertainment Center with 24'' HDTV/DVD combo, desk/vanity, Walk-in closet and a Private Bath with 2 person whirlpool tub, double vanity, and toilet. Glass doors provide access to the oceanfront deck with the covered therapeutic spa and great ocean views. Climb two flights of stairs around the back of the house to the skydeck for unforgettable panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean, Currituck Lighthouse, National Estuarine Sanctuary, Currituck Sound and 4-wheel drive area roamed by the famous wild horses of Corolla.

Designed for the serious Chef in your party, the Kitchen has excellent views of the ocean and a center island with seating for 6 to encourage conversation during meal preparation. The Kitchen is equipped with a full-size oven with ceramic top, large side-by-side refrigerator with through-the-door ice/water dispenser, microwave oven and Wet Bar with wine glass holder and mini-fridge. There is also a convenient half-bath located next to the Kitchen.

Featuring a custom dining table for twelve, the separate Dining Room has sliding glass doors that open onto the oceanfront deck. On the deck is a Screened Gazebo where up to 6 people can enjoy meals and beautiful ocean views while being sheltered from the hot afternoon sun or soaking rain.

Accessed through an arched opening from the Dining Room, the separate Sun Room with wall to wall glass has sliding glass doors that open to the deck overlooking the pool and the National Estuarine Sanctuary. The Sun Room will be a favorite for those in your party whose dream of the perfect vacation includes reading the eagerly anticipated new book while being serenaded by the many birds that frequent the back yard and the National Estuarine Sanctuary.

In the evening, the Sun Room will be appreciated by those in your party who look forward to long card games with friends and family late into the night in a private room where they will disturb no one because others are watching their favorite shows on the Big-screen TV in the Great Room, playing video games in the Recreation Room, enjoying a game of pool in the Game Room, relaxing in the two person whirlpool tubs or admiring the beauty of the stars and the Currituck Lighthouse from the decks on the third and fourth levels.

Memories
This house is absolutely amazing. I enjoyed everything about it. I absolutely love the pool with the waterslide! It was so nice to take the kids to the beach which was a very short less than 3 min walk. Then after being in the sun fighting the waves everyone enjoyed the clam cool partly shaded pool. Then at night to relax in the hotub letting go of stress and aches your body feels. I loved the fact there were so many of us and you couldn't hear the kids on the other floors. It was a very relaxing much needed family vacation perfect for making memories that will last a lifetime.

Lovely location, terrific owner
We went with family to stay at Bill's house. The house is indeed older, but we don't mind that. There were several problems including a broken grill, and the water heater busted. While these are normal problems that could happen at any time, Bill was very kind and swift to address them. It was challenging not having water for 12 hours with that many little kids but the complex had a pool with a bathroom so we made do! We also had to wait quite a bit for a plumber (no fault of Bill's), which meant we didn't get as much time on the beach as we would've liked. Probably the most disrupting issue was the raccoons who were in the vent/attic. Again, nothing BIll could do to prevent that and he was swift to respond. But, it did impact our sleep. Some of our family was very upset and seriously considered leaving early. We spent a lot of time communicating, taking pictures and then helping the trapper when he came. Again, more time waiting and not doing what we wanted to do. All in all, we loved the area, and the house was nice for a big family. We would suggest that the upstairs kitchen pantry be unlocked. For a big family there wasn't really anywhere convenient to store food. Again, Bill was communicative and so helpful and none of the issues were things he could have predicted. We are appreciative for how quickly he worked to resolve everything!

Roomy Home
Loved the castle in the air. It was an amazing home. However we did fine the house needing some cleaning. Upon our arrival we found somethings in the home weren’t cleaned. Possibly needs a new cleaning service. It did not cause us to have a unpleasant vacation though. The home was very large and housed 16 people very comfortably. Overall my family really enjoyed our stay and would more than likely stay at castle in the air again.

About the host

Hosted by Bill

Host profile image
Patrice and Bill grew up in Pennsylvania, lived in Maryland for almost 20 years, and now live in Raleigh, NC. Our four children and Father-in-Law (who lives with us) all enjoy the many faces of the ocean--from calm blue waves lapping on the wide beach to churning whitecaps generated by storms at sea.

After vacationing on the beaches of New Jersey as children, we enjoyed our first family reunions on the beaches of Delaware and Virginia. We then moved our reunions farther south to the clean, family-friendly beaches of North Carolina.

Why they chose this property

We rented houses on the Outer Banks for many years. From each of those houses, we made mental notes of features that worked well for the three generations attending our family reunions.

When we designed 'Castle in the Air', we incorporated the best features from each of the houses at which we had stayed over the years: Pool, Game Room and Recreation Room for the children to have their private space; Hot Tub, Whirlpools for two and televisions in all four Master Suites for the adults; Sun room and private deck for those whose idea of a great vacation is reading the book they have wanted to read for months.

We paid particular attention to providing views of the ocean from almost every room, but especially from the common areas--Kitchen, Living Room, Dining Room.

This house is truly our 'Castle in the Air'.

What makes this property unique

Spectacular, panoramic views of historic Corolla Lighthouse, Ocean, Sound, National Park and undeveloped Northern Outer Banks from 4th floor deck. 1 minute walk to beach. Choice of 3 pools in which to swim each day as well as playground, basketball court, tennis courts, bike paths, walking trails.

Corolla is a unique destination that borders both the Atlantic Ocean and the Currituck Sound, allowing visitors to access to the salty ocean waves, the calm kayak-worthy sound waters, and the idyllic maritime forests that lie in between.

Corolla adds a touch of modern class to the classic Outer Banks vacation. Prized for both its seclusion and its abundance of upscale but funky shops and dining options, Corolla is the ideal vacation destination for families who are just as happy lounging on the beach in flip flops as they are indulging in an afternoon at the spa.

The small-town beach community combines all the best elements of a five star resort vacation, while still encompassing that laid-back Outer Banks style that embraces the beach life. With minimal development but lots of amenities, Corolla is perfect for those who want to get away from it all, but still enjoy all the best dining, shopping, water sports, and amenities that the Outer Banks has to offer.

Corolla's wild Horses - Roaming the Northern beaches of Corolla and Carova, this herd of Wild Colonial Spanish Mustangs is perhaps more popular than the Currituck Beach Lighthouse or Whalehead in Historic Corolla. Visitors can find the horses along the beach and within the community of Carova. A 4x4 vehicle is required to access this rather remote area. Guided tours are available in specialized vehicles.

The Corolla Wild Horses have been a draw to vacationers for decades, as their mystique and centuries old legacy is simply unmatched on the local OBX coastline. Added to this is the romantic idea of a beach vacation that's truly wild, with mustangs who travel up and down the Carova beaches with ease and absolute ab
