Map & Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 2008
Why the Owner Chose Whalehead Beach
We purchased 'Wish' in 2008 because we knew it could be a great place for families to vacation in the OBX. 'Wish' had never been rented before and previously was used as a private family vacation home. With all the giant homes around, there seems to be a lack of homes more suited to smaller groups that didn't want to stay with 3 or 4 other families.
'Wish' had great bones and a warm feeling when you entered the door, a wonderful open floor plan, and lots of juniper on the walls - she just needed some TLC and updating to bring her to her full potential. What really hooked us was the note on the blackboard in the kitchen - it said 'We are truly going to miss this house'.
So we took it upon ourselves to create a place where others could have wonderful family vacation memories. We all have a place like that in our past - where you reminisce about your wonderful family vacations, and we truly hope we have given others a place to think about and smile from the memories.
The Unique Benefits at this House
The rooftop deck at dusk is a must. The amazing sound views reflects the colors in the sky. The huge private pool and pool area is a great way to spend the day. Or it's just a short straight walk to the beach for a day of sun and sand. The single floor living is easy for families with small children, and the loft area makes a great getaway for games, tv, crafts or reading. The house is pet-free, smoke-free, and hardwood floors prevail making it comfortable for those with allergies.

We first ventured to Corolla in 2005, and in the last 5 years, we head down as often as our schedule allows. We enjoy the northern end of Corolla, and the offseason stillness and beauty of the undisturbed wilderness.

We recently stayed at Wish You Were Here and had an amazing vacation in the Outer Banks of NC! This home is absolutely beautiful inside! It is like walking into a Pottery Barn store, very homey, very updated, very comfortable. The house was clean & had all of the things we needed- pool chairs, deck chairs, pool toys, all the kitchenware you would need, wi-fi, everything! The house is a couple blocks to the beach so if you are going to go for the day, I suggest bringing the beach cart which will help you in lugging the chairs, umbrella, etc. to the beach. It is so nice to have a washer & dryer available at the property as well. We went on many long walks along the beach and just throughout the neighborhood. I would recommend going to the Carrituck Lighthouse & surrounding nature center area which was really beautiful. Also had a chance to parasail which was fun & gives you a beautiful view of the area! The photos of this house are very accurate. We really enjoyed hanging out on the deck and the upstairs loft area was a fun little getaway for the kids. The area is surrounded by huge homes which are all beautiful and well taken care of. I would definitely recommend this property to a friend and hope to be back one day!

We normally don't vacation in the same area in consecutive years, but we enjoyed our stay last year so much that we decided to break our rule. The house was just as clean and well maintained as last year. The outdoor bar (with refrigerator!) and gas grill were great additions. The local property manager was extremely responsive and helpful when we had questions. One of our party used the loft as a bedroom. He is 6'5" and slept comfortably in the day bed.

The house is beautifully decorated with the warmth of home and exceptionally clean. It was perfect for our family including three young children. The baby had the run of the main floor while the two older ones enjoyed the pool and loft areas. It was reassuring to always know where the kids were...no access to the decks and pool from their bedrooms!!! We would absolutely stay here again!

A Relaxing Vacation

Review Submitted: 07/27/10
We really enjoyed the week. The property is clean, well furnished, and well maintained. It is an easy walk to the beach and less than a five-minute drive to several quality restaurants, shopping areas, a lighthouse, and the beach areas with wild horses. We felt the pictures in the listing don't do the property justice, especially the pool area. Questions to the owners were answered promptly. We were a little confused by the Sunday to Sunday rental until we talked to some of the locals about Saturday traffic. It worked out well. We would recommend the property.

Home away from home. We had a wonderful time staying here. The house was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. The pool and hotub was a great addition to our time at OBX. The kids loved going to the beach and ending the day in the pool. I absolutely loved staying here and look forward to coming back again!
