Wonderful stay at this house. The owners were so friendly and were very responsive with any questions and providing information. The house was lovely. You can hear the ocean waves from the deck. The pool was amazing and private. The house itself was perfect. Large open living space upstairs. Nice bedrooms and comfy beds. Plus a short walk to the beach! I would definitely recommend staying here. Very kid friendly as well.

Great property! This was our second time staying here, and it was another wonderful experience. Great communication with owners, cozy and comfortable living space and bedrooms, updated kitchen, fun pool (though we highly recommend bringing something you can put up for some shade!) and so close to the beach. We’d definitely stay here again 😊

This was our first time staying in this lovely home and we enjoyed every minute of it! The home was very clean and well appointed with everything we could possibly need and then some! We loved the pool, the hot tub and the location is a short walk to the beach. It is also very convenient to Corolla's shopping and dining. We would not hesitate to rent this property in the future!

This is our third family vacation to this beautiful beach home. There's something for everybody....ages 4 to 80. The house is so comfortable. Warm and welcoming, close to the beach, and is fully stocked with anything you might need. Games, jigsaw puzzles, boogie boards, beach chairs, and more. The owners are readily available by text if there are any issues. We highly recommend.

This is a great property. The rental seems to be managed by the owners with an extra attention to detail. We have stayed at properties in the past that are obviously managed by companies that do the bare minimum, and this is not one of them. Definitely would stay again!

About the host

Hosted by Will Gaskins

Host profile image
We're the parents of 5, grandparents of 1. Married since 1994 and love to make memories as a family.

Why they chose this property

Allison has been coming to Whalehead since the late 1980's and Will joined her when they got married in the mid-90's. Lots of family memories have been made here since then. We rented this house a number of years ago, loved the location and saw the potential in it. So we bought it in 2018 and took some time to renovate. We think you'll like it!

What makes this property unique

One of the many things we love about this house is the location. We're on the "3rd Row" which gives us Ocean views and allows us to hear the ocean crashing on the shore. It is as far north as you can go in Whalehead which means beach access is super close and a walk, jog or bike to the Whalehead Club and Currituck Beach Lighthouse or the shops at Corolla light is super easy. Historic Corolla Village is just on the other side of the Lighthouse and provides hours of wandering (grab a coffee at The Kind Cup or Banana Dog) and browsing and The Beer Garden is not to be missed in the evening. Dad and the boys love to play golf at The Currituck Club just a few miles South. Head just a little further North and you're at the 4-wheel drive beaches for a little extra fun searching for Wild Horses! With all this there is still plenty of access to shopping and we're close to two fully stocked grocery stores: Harris Teeter and Food Lion.
