Map & Owner's Profile
Monet's Retreat: Walk to Ocean, Walk to Shops! Park Your Car.
Year Purchased: 1997
Why the Owner Chose Whalehead Beach
We chose Whalehead Beach on the Outer Banks because of the large lots, the wide sandy beach, and the shallow family-friendly ocean with lifeguards during the prime season. We chose our lot because it sits above street level, and it is in the 1st block of whalehead which means you walk the same distance east to the beach or west to the shopping center. It's quiet but convenient and perfect for walking and bicycling. Who knew years ago, that parking the car would be so economical too!
The Unique Benefits at this House
Because we purchased our home while under construction, we were able to add a kitchen pantry (think 18 or so people and you know what I mean...what to do with all that food?) plus a second full-size refrigerator in the rec room. We also added renter-friendly bench seating on the top deck, floor to ceiling shelving in two bathrooms for storing all your "stuff", and a private den for internet surfing, watching a movie, or simply reading. Take a birds-eye view of the area from the top of Currituck Lighthouse, and be sure to take the tour of 4-wheel country to view the Corolla wild horses, and kayak on the bay to Whalehead Club historical home & museum.
Shopping - Recreation - Dining: Putt-putt golf, mini-motorway track, lots of shops, bookstore, gas station. Restaurants: Steamers, JR's, Groupers, North Banks,Subway, others.
Phone the Whalehead Club at 252-453-9040. Someone is at the welcome center from 10:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. every day to greet you and provide information about Currituck Heritage Park.
Owner's Map of Whalehead Beach
The peaceful ocean views and sound of the surf are very relaxing, and though we have every modern convenience, it's a small piece of paradise, with a decor we find charming and completely different than our big-city life. Inside our artwork follows the "Monet" color scheme, which we know you will enjoy for your escape too. We take pride in updating our beach "cottage" (as the locals call them) every year during the off seasson, so even repeat guests discover new surprises to delight them.
