About this property

Oceanfront w Elevator, 6 Bedrooms & Private Walkway, Custom Pool, VIEWS

Remodeled, well-located and cared for, "Tidalist" has the Views, Style, Location, Comfort and Amenities you want for your Beach Vacation. Tidalist sits high and back on it's 1/2 acre lot with a "reverse floorplan" giving you expansive Ocean Views from a Wall of Windows in the Great Room's open Living Room, Dining Room Kitchen and Decks. Most Bedrooms also have Ocean Views and Deck Access.

An Elevator makes arrival, departure and all the activities in between so easy....no need to walk luggage, equipment and groceries up or down two flights of stairs!

Tidalist underwent top to bottom renovations and remodeling when it was purchased. An enlarged kitchen with two refrigerators made the interior renovation complete! Your own private walkway to the beach with a dune deck for beach watching enhances the experience. You'll enjoy a Custom Swimming Pool with Built in Kiddie Pool, lights, shaded deck, steps and irrigated landscaping.

Inside Tidalist, you'll find high ceilings, big windows and natural light in the Great Room. Unrestricted far & wide Ocean Views are a memorable feature of this large, open Upper Level Living Room, Dining and Kitchen. Six nicely sized & furnished bedrooms await you. Five of the Bedrooms have Private Bathrooms; the Sixth bedroom has double bunk set and will share a bath with another bedroom. Four of the six bedrooms and the Game Room have doors to the ocean facing deck.

The Upper Level has two King Master Bedrooms with deck access in addition to the Great Room's Living Room, Dining & Kitchen Area with Island. Covered Front and Rear Decks and a Powder Room near the Elevator complete this level.

You'll find the Foyer, four Bedrooms and a Game Room on the Mid Level. A King Bedroom (#3) with large Bath, two Queen Bedrooms (#4 & #5) with Private Baths. Bedroom 6 has Double Bunk Beds. Attractive furniture, paint, linens and decorative touches enhance each room.

The Laundry Area is in the hall by the Elevator on this level.
The Game Room has an 8' Billiards table with a separate top that can be placed on to convert it to a Ping Pong Table and barstool seating. The game room Deck has ocean view & overlooks the Pool.

The Mid Level hosts the Hot Tub under a Covered Porch accessible through the Game Room, the Pool deck & two bedrooms. You'll overlook the pool and have a connected Walkway to the Beach from the Mid Level Deck. Fifty steps bring you to a Dune deck and over the dune stairs leading to the Beach & Ocean shoreline.

The Ground Level has an Elevator Lobby for dry entry from the carport parking, Outdoor Shower, a Built in Stone Bar B Que, Gas Bar b Que grill, Pool & Pool Deck and Volleyball court on the side yard. A wide front staircase leads up to the Covered Porch and Front Door into the Mid Level Foyer. A basketball backboard & hoop are mounted on the side of the driveway. The front yard has irrigated grass.

Outside, you'll find a customized free-form concrete Pool with built in Kiddie Pool and Steps, Seating Niches, Walk-Up Bar and a landscaped area with natural grass. The Pool was designed to flow and fit with the natural dunes that separate Tidalist from the Beach and is Surrounded with a 6' fence for Privacy & Safety.
Gated stairs from the Mid Level Deck and Ocean Walkway link the Pool to Tidalist, connecting the inside and the outdoors. Two other ground level Pool safety gates grant easy access to the Carport and Front yard.

For personal convenience, Tidalist provides high speed WIFI throughout, enhanced cable TV service with Premium Movie channels and flat screen TVs in each Bedroom.

The house was just as presented. We had a smaller group (6) so there was plenty of room. Hot tub was perfect and the pool was used quite a bit. Kitchen was perfect for making meals and shopping was very close. Highly recommended.

About the host

Hosted by Lynn Hoffmann

Host profile image

We've traveled to the Outer Banks on family vacations since the 1980s. The unique setting, environment and opportunities for enjoyment and recreation keep calling us back.

In 2010 we took the plunge and became Outer Banks vacation home owners. During the intervening years, we've gradually purchased, remodeled and managed five homes. With each home, our goal is to become better Owners and Managers. Tidalist is our favorite.

Our family treasures the vacations we have together at the Beach.
The home and community we stay in is a significant part of our vacation. We choose our homes carefully then strive to create the setting and atmosphere we've come to treasure for our family and yours . We welcome you to our homes and value your feedback.
We have another 8 Br home on Vrbo, # 309544 named Life o'Rily, in the Four Seasons community in Duck, NC. Check it out too!

Why they chose this property

Oceanfront, there's nothing like it! Whalehead Beach is a classic beach community. Large lots prevent crowding and parking problems. The beauty, convenience & location are perfect. Tidalist is as a family project as well as a family home.

What makes this property unique

Tidalist is 100 feet from the wide, flat beaches of Corolla. The views from the house are fantastic. A Private Walkway connects Tidalist and you over the Dune and down to the Beach. Stairs bring you from the House or Beach Walkway to a unique free form Pool designed to take advantage of the natural topography and Dune location. With a Built in Kiddie Pool, corner seats and walk up Bar, Tidalist's Pool makes the Ocean facing back yard a personal paradise. A volleyball court is outside the pool gate to get your game on.
