Here's what makes our home special:
𝗕𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘅𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁𝘆: Our property is just 800 ft (~5-min walk/6 houses) to the beach. The Coral St. beach access path begins just one lot away from our house, which makes it incredibly convenient for families with young children to enjoy the sand and surf. Got a ton of stuff or tired toddlers to transport? No problem! Simply load up our handy wagons and enjoy a hassle-free day by the ocean. We are east of NC-12 with no major roads to cross.
𝗘𝘅𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗟𝗼𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: With an oversized half-acre lot that’s close to Corolla’s many attractions, our home’s location is the perfect balance between convenience and privacy. The neighborhood is safe, quiet, spacious, and well-maintained. Within 1 mile, you’ll find a large selection of shops, grocery stores, attractions, and delicious local eateries. Family-friendly activities abound in Corolla with something for everyone—fishing, crabbing, kayaking, parasailing, boat charters and rentals, jet skiing, mini golf, bumper cars, sightseeing, shopping, and more are all available to you. Discover countless other charms such as golf courses, beer gardens and breweries, historical attractions like the Whalehead Club and Currituck Beach Lighthouse, and the 4x4 beaches (home of the famed Corolla wild horses). We're in a great spot if you enjoy renting bikes or golf carts!
