La Dolce Vita - Where the sweet life begins!
Location: Ocean Sands, Section F, Corolla, Northern Coast & Outer Banks, Coastal, North Carolina, USA
Accommodations: House, 6 Bedrooms + Other (See Description), 4.5 Baths (Sleeps 17)
“La Dolce Vita” (Corolla Classic Vacations Property No. OS5) is located in Corolla, NC, in the exclusive northern Outer Banks. This beautifully designed, semi-oceanfront beach house awaits your family’s next beach adventure. Enjoy the panoramic views from the third floor great room. Relax with a book on the expansive, wrap-around decks on the second and third floors.
This premier property has 6 bedrooms and 4.5 baths, including 2 full master suites. In addition, 3 of the 4 bedrooms on the 2nd floor have direct deck access, which is handy for catching the sunrise or making one last wish on the many stars in the beach sky. In total, the house can comfortably accommodate 17.
We consider La Dolce Vita to be our 2nd home and like to make it as comfortable and as conducive for entertaining as possible. Our wide selection of games, books and our extensive video collection will keep your family well entertained. We are constantly thinking of new ideas that we incorporate into our annual upgrades to the property. So each year when you return, you can be sure that we’ll be a little better than the year before. This years update includes four hi-def Samsung TV's and a Blu-Ray DVD player in the living room. Additionally a new Onkyo stereo with MP3/Ipod hook ups also in the living room.
For those evenings when you want to dine in, we have the kitchen to allow your creative spirit to soar. Chefs need quality tools and we have what you will need to reach new heights of culinary excellence. My parents, who are former caterers, were in charge of stocking the kitchen, so we have everything from multiple toasters, waffle irons, food processors and ice cream maker to pasta pots and garlic presses.
The 2 dishwashers make cleanup a breeze. In addition, the very large kitchen is open to the dining and various living areas of the great room, which occupy the entire third floor of the house, so the cooks always remain part of the party. The house also features a large park-style grill, for preparing that fresh catch-of-the-day or hot dogs for the kids.
We are a baby friendly house, equipped with baby gate, porta-crib, high chair, booster chair, bath seat and baby bathtub. In addition, we have some other little niceties: baskets to wash bottle paraphernalia in dishwasher, baby spoons, kiddie dinnerware, etc. In addition, the property has a private playground, to help little ones run off that last bit of energy before a nap or allow bigger kids with a place to play before dinner.
The ground floor rec room features a full size frig, Hi-def TV with cable and JVC stereo with tuner/CD. We also have a Rene Pierre foosball table in the rec room. Just outside the sliders is the patio and private, heated pool.
New beach access boardwalks and steps to the beach make for an easy walk to the beach for everyone in the family. We have an ideal location for kids and grandparent alike, since we are not only semi-oceanfront, but also have beach access in directly in front of the house.
Corolla Classic Vacations manages the property for us. House is called “La Dolce Vita” and is Corolla Classic Vacations property no. OS5. You can make your reservation online or call for Reservations.
All the best from the beach!

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2003
I am 9 years old and love to visit our house in the Outer Banks with my family as much as I can. We have a great time on the beach, at the Wildlife Center and walking around Old Corolla. I especially love that the ice cream man stops in front of our house twice a day in the summer (after lunch and after dinner.) We watch the sunrise in the morning from our deck and read bedtime stories in the hammock in the evening. My parents even let me walk back from the beach by myself, since there is hardly any traffic in front of our house. In the fall the water is still warm, so we can swim in the ocean late in the season. and it is always a good day to look for shells, make a sandcastle, ride my bike around the neighborhood, beat my Dad in foosball or write and draw pictures in my beach journal on the boardwalk. On holidays, there are ghost rides through old Corolla, Yule parties at the Whalehead and Easter Egg Hunts with real bunnies and chicks.
