Sobre esta propriedade

Oceanfront views;one lot from ocean;3 Pools;Spa;Whirlpools;Tennis;965 Acre Park

Open weeks in June, July and August have been discounted up to $700. Custom-designed and beautifully decorated, this semi-oceanfront, 6 bedroom home offers unobstructed ocean views over the community's oceanfront pool without incurring the cost of an oceanfront property.
*3rd and 4th level decks provide fantastic views of the Currituck Lighthouse and sunsets over the 965 acre National Estuarine Reserve and Currituck Sound.

Play in the large private pool with mini-waterslide and rock waterfall, relax in the hot tub overlooking the ocean, or watch the shooting stars from the skydeck of your own ''Castle in the Air''!

Access to the beach is a short walk across the quiet community road to the commercial boardwalk alongside the oceanfront pool and over the protective dunes--less than 200 feet. If your group absolutely must be on the oceanfront or needs a second vacation property, please see our larger property, Castle by the Sea (#393567).

If you’re looking for something to occupy your time that doesn’t involve lounging Oceanside on the community’s uncrowded beaches, Villages at Ocean Hill offers a full-service gym—complete with both weight and cardio equipment, a sport court, two tennis courts, and a basketball court for maximum fitness opportunities. There’s also a freshly paved 2-mile bike path that connects Villages at Ocean Hill with the Corolla Light resort community, as well as two large swimming pools that are open from 10 a.m.-6:00 p.m.

If you’re a golf enthusiast and hope to hit the links during your stay on North Carolina’s Outer Banks, The Currituck Club is located just 6 miles from the Villages at Ocean Hill.

Ground Level: Game Room with full-size commercial-grade pool table, Classic Space Laundry Room with washer, dryer, ironing board, and iron; Recreation Room with Queen sleep sofa and entertainment center, 32'' LED HDTV and DVD player; and Half Bath across from the Entrance Foyer.

Accessible from both the ground and first floors, the 40' concrete pool nestled in the backyard next to the National Estuarine Sanctuary features a mini-waterslide, rock waterfall and tiled aquatic images in the bottom of the pool. For your convenience, there is an adjoining Outdoor Shower with Changing Cabana. The children in your party will find this level provides the vacation of which they were dreaming: splashing in the pool, sliding on the mini-waterslide; playing pool in the Game Room; watching their favorite show on their own TV; and playing and playing foosball. This level also satisfies the dream of parents--a safe area for kids to be kids without disturbing the adults in your party.

Mid Level: The Entry Foyer with large closet opens to two hallways that serve the 3 Master Bedroom Suites and two additional Bedrooms on this floor. The North Master Bedroom Suite is furnished with a Queen Bed, Ceiling Fan, Closet, 24'' HDTV/DVD combo, Clock Radio and sliding glass doors to the Oceanfront deck with two person swing and access to the pool area; it offers direct access to a bath with shower, toilet and sink.

The Center Master Bedroom Suite is furnished with a King Bed, Built-in desk, Ceiling Fan, Closet, Clock Radio, Entertainment Center with 32'' HDTV, DVD player, and oversized sliding glass doors to the Oceanfront deck with access to the pool area; it offers a Private Bath with 2 person whirlpool tub, shower, toilet, double vanity and toiletries closet.

The South Master Bedroom Suite is furnished with a Queen Bed, Ceiling Fan, Closet, 24'' HDTV/DVD combo, Clock Radio and sliding glass doors to the Oceanfront deck with private seating and access to the pool area; it offers direct access to a bath with shower, toilet and sink.

Top Level: The top level features a raised Great Room with wonderful ocean views through its window wall, built-in window seating, wood fireplace, and an entertainment wall with a 55'' LED HDTV, DVD player, CD/MP3 player, and 5.1 Surround Sound System with iPod/Aux connection.

The Master Bedroom on this level offers a Queen bed, Entertainment Center with 24'' HDTV/DVD combo, desk/vanity, Walk-in closet and a Private Bath with 2 person whirlpool tub, double vanity, and toilet. Glass doors provide access to the oceanfront deck with the covered therapeutic spa and great ocean views. Climb two flights of stairs around the back of the house to the skydeck for unforgettable panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean, Currituck Lighthouse, National Estuarine Sanctuary, Currituck Sound and 4-wheel drive area roamed by the famous wild horses of Corolla.

Designed for the serious Chef in your party, the Kitchen has excellent views of the ocean and a center island with seating for 6 to encourage conversation during meal preparation. The Kitchen is equipped with a full-size oven with ceramic top, large side-by-side refrigerator with through-the-door ice/water dispenser, microwave oven and Wet Bar with wine glass holder and mini-fridge. There is also a convenient half-bath located next to the Kitchen.

Featuring a custom dining table for twelve, the separate Dining Room has sliding glass doors that open onto the oceanfront deck. On the deck is a Screened Gazebo where up to 6 people can enjoy meals and beautiful ocean views while being sheltered from the hot afternoon sun or soaking rain.

Accessed through an arched opening from the Dining Room, the separate Sun Room with wall to wall glass has sliding glass doors that open to the deck overlooking the pool and the National Estuarine Sanctuary. The Sun Room will be a favorite for those in your party whose dream of the perfect vacation includes reading the eagerly anticipated new book while being serenaded by the many birds that frequent the back yard and the National Estuarine Sanctuary.

In the evening, the Sun Room will be appreciated by those in your party who look forward to long card games with friends and family late into the night in a private room where they will disturb no one because others are watching their favorite shows on the Big-screen TV in the Great Room, playing video games in the Recreation Room, enjoying a game of pool in the Game Room, relaxing in the two person whirlpool tubs or admiring the beauty of the stars and the Currituck Lighthouse from the decks on the third and fourth levels.

Extras: Private pool (20’ X 40’)--available May to October (heated upon request with additional charge), hot tub, wifi internet, fireplace, 6 hdtvs, 2 vcrs, 6 dvd players, stereo receiver w/ 5.1 surround sound, mini-fridge, 2 whirlpools, high chair, port-a-crib, movies, games, books, pool table, foosball table, swing, fish cleaning table.

Great location

Walking distance to the ocean and community pool/beach club. Very close to the 4 wheel drive only beach - great place for walking, looking for shells and watching the wild horses. Convenient to everything we needed. Plenty of room for large family gatherings, great private pool. Owner was very responsive and helpful.
Resposta de VrboOwner em 21 de mar. de 2020
We have often enjoyed family reunions with our own family (4 generations) at Castle in the Air so we understand the benefit of having beach access across the private street which eliminates long walks down the street to reach the beach. We find that driving into the 4 wheel drive area is a great way to escape from the stresses of life, especially when we are fortunate enough to find the famous wild horses of Corolla grazing peacefully on beach grass or cavorting on the dunes. Although uncommon, this is the one beach (other than Florida) where we have found the relatively rare, large Conch shells. We designed the house with 4 Master Bedrooms for four families plus two more bedrooms and Rec Room for children to accommodate large family gatherings like yours. Also, thank you for the comments on responsiveness; the satisfaction of our guests is very important to me. We hope you will visit again next year.

Enjoyed it all

We had a great time! Family ranging in age from 9 months to 68 years, we all enjoyed our time. The pool, hot tub, and pool table were favorites. We rented a golf cart and bikes to go back and forth for donuts at Northern Lights and the basketball court. We paid for the pool to be heated which was great since it had rained and cooled the water nightly. We recommend this rental. We messaged with the owner some, but had better communication by calling. Overall great experience.

Memories

This house is absolutely amazing. I enjoyed everything about it. I absolutely love the pool with the waterslide! It was so nice to take the kids to the beach which was a very short less than 3 min walk. Then after being in the sun fighting the waves everyone enjoyed the clam cool partly shaded pool. Then at night to relax in the hotub letting go of stress and aches your body feels. I loved the fact there were so many of us and you couldn't hear the kids on the other floors. It was a very relaxing much needed family vacation perfect for making memories that will last a lifetime.

Short vacation weekend

We were very happy with our stay at castle in the air. The home was clean and well laid out. We had minor issues at check in that were quickly remedied by the owner. The pool was a great size and the hot tub on the top deck was great to use after dinner. Some furniture is a bit worn and needs to be replaced but I believe they are in the process of updating some things. Our major complaint was with the driveway. It’s not wide enough for two cars to park side by side so we were constantly moving things around to let people out. Overall wonderful stay. I wish we could’ve been there longer. Thanks for the quick communication!!

Great location, big house...needs upkeep and some maintenance issues

Beautiful location, big house, lots of activities near by. Short walk to the beach! Overall nice house. Definitely outdated and could use a little TLC. We had some issues with the cleanliness/cleaning upon our arrival. We ended up cleaning the entire house ourselves which was disappointing but communication with Bill in regards to issues was easy and he responded promptly with all concerns. Deck had some loose nails and aged wood so we did not allow children on the deck. Pool was nice but very shaded and wish there was more room for lounge chairs. One toilet did not work, one sink was broke but Bill was made aware and responded that these items would be fixed in the future. Overall good stay!

Thank you for your review. We are planning to upgrade decking during the off-season, and we will be sure to confirm that the toilet and sink have been repaired properly. We wish you had mentioned the cleaning issue because we always require the cleaning crew to return and clean areas that were not cleaned properly. We hope you will return in the future to enjoy the upgrades we have planned.

Big house, great location

Stayed with 2 families (4 adults, 4 kids) for a week in summer 2020. House is really big, more than enough room - could have had a 3rd family. Location is spectacular, ocean and nature preserve views, less than 2 minute walk to the beach. House itself is getting a bit worn down - it gets rented all summer and while there are professional cleaners and pool maintenance that comes, there’s no professional property manager to oversee it, so things start to get missed, like broken pool cues, broken arcade game, some loose nails around. Owner is responsive via email, but unless it’s a cleaning or pool issue where he can call somebody else, he’s not around and there’s nothing to do about an issue in a timely manner, although presumably it gets fixed for the next season. Overall would recommend for size and location, just have realistic expectations about the house itself.

Awesome Family Time

This was an awesome time. I liked the location of the house. It was almost at the very end of the paved road and although there was quite a bit of traffic, it was still quiet. I was surprised to see so many vehicles driving up and down on the beach at all time of the day or night. The beach was very close and the views were gorgeous. I would have loved to stay longer. The weather was perfect. The beach could be a little busy at times but still there was plenty of room to play and tan. We had a couple of issues with the house that the owner and I resolved quickly but the size was exactly what we needed and was big enough that the 18 people that were there didn't trip over each other. I would definitely stay here again if we come back. I did truly love the location. There was so much more to do that we didn't get done and I want to come back. The only negative which we my family really needed was the hot tub and it was broken which we didn't know until we tried to use it.
Resposta de VrboOwner em 21 de mar. de 2020
Thank you for your compliments, and we are thrilled that Castle in the Air accommodated your extended family so well. We chose the lot on which we built Castle in the Air because other lots on the street require guests to walk a block or more to reach the beach access which is right across the street from Castle in the Air. We designed the house with 4 Master Bedrooms for four families plus two bedrooms and two sleep sofas for children to accommodate large family groups like yours. Vehicles are permitted on the Corolla beaches only during the off-season. Since you visited around Memorial Day, the beach had not yet been closed to traffic for the summer. If you return next year, schedule your visit a week or two later so you will not see that traffic. As the pictures on our listing indicate, there are many activities in the area from paddleboarding, paragliding and ATV or Jeep trips to view the famous wild horses of Corolla to miniature golf, go-kart racing and rope adventure courses. In addition, there are many educational opportunities such as the historic Corolla lighthouse, Maritime Museum, Currituck Esuarine Preserve and Wright Brothers National Memorial. We can make recommendations if you return next year

The Best

Not sure where to start - EVERYTHING was excellent - Location, property, owner! It was just the four of us and house was huge but still managed to feel homey and so comfortable. Unlike some rentals, the house was amazingly well stocked and very well cared for. I tend to be pretty picky about cleanliness and house certainly met my expectations. Communication with the owner was top notch, which I really appreciated. We had some beautiful days and some rainy ones but there was always something to do - beach, games, hanging out together in the family room. We cooked in most days and did not want for anything - plenty of pots, pans, silverware, glasses. Husband made bread 2-3 times and I’m envious of the stove and oven! The hot tub was a joy and located so you can look out at the beach - we used it everyday. The top deck is amazing at sunset. Drove on the beach and even got to see the wild horses. It’s really hard for me to pick out my favorite thing about the house - everything really was great, especially how close it is to the beach. In summary, we had an amazing time and can’t wait to return. If you book here, you will not be sorry!!

Heather, Thank you for your outstanding review of Castle in the Air. We try very hard to respond to resolve issues reported by our guests and to incorporate their suggestions into our off-season upgrades. The result is the excellent vacation that you experienced. We hope that you can return every year for many years to come.

Great House in a Perfect Location

This house was a perfect fit for our family of four’s vacation with another family of four. The two true master bedrooms gave each adult couple their own private space and bath, and the Jack-and-Jill setup of the remaining two bedrooms on either side of the house functioned perfectly for the kids. The location couldn’t have been better unless it was literally on the beach. This house is not just steps away from the beach access; that beach access point is also where the lifeguard stand is. The next lifeguard stand was at least a few hundred yards down the beach, if not more. The house’s pool was also a very comfortable size for our party of eight and plenty warm (we visited the last week in July). Decks that wrapped around the two main levels, plus added 3rd and 4th level, meant there was always a sunny or shady spot, depending on your preference, and beautiful views of both the ocean to the East and the treetops to West. The house had enough of the modern amenities that we never felt like we were roughing it or going without: WiFi, modern appliances, plenty of standard outlets and/or USB adapters to charge our devices, and TVs in each room. I also liked the Sunday to Sunday rental terms because it allowed us to avoid so much of the legendary Saturday turnover traffic I’ve heard about n

Needs a lot of TLC and upkeep

The best part was the location (if you're a beach person) .The house at one time, may have been a great place. However , it was in such poor condition, I would not have booked it. My group stayed in the beginning of Oct. , 2023 figuring the temperature would be ok for the pool (which we paid an additional $500.00 to heat) but the heater didn't work and the pool water temp was 73 degrees (bought a pool thermometer) The owner promised a full refund but as of 6 months has not repaid (VRBO tried to contact him but no response) Pool slide was damaged, decks were rotted (actually holes in the wood), windows and ceiling fans were not cleaned (dust on the leading edge of the blades were 1/4 inch thick) , master bath had a wide rust mark from leaking faucet, outside light fixture hanging by the wires, many outside sliding doors were hard to open, screens in the gazebo were torn off or hanging (I have pictures to prove these allegations) otherwise washer and dryer, appliances and kitchen, living room were in good order. He needs to find a better housekeeping company and personally visit his property before it degrades further

Randy, Thank you for your feedback and suggestions for improvements. Prior to your arrival we advised you that most pools on the Outer Banks close at the end of September because pool heaters can only raise the water temperature about 20 degrees above the average nightly temperature of 55 degrees. You still requested that we heat the pool for your group, and our pool maintenance company advised us that the pool heater was working properly. We will be addressing your other suggestions in the offseason. Please check back on our future reviews to confirm that we acted upon all of your suggestions.

Very disappointed

We rent from VRBO on a regular basis and sadly, this is the first negative experience we have had. The location and view from the property were exceptional and my family of 8 had a fantastic time, despite our disappointment in the property. In the 1990's when the home was built, I am sure it was spectacular, but it appears as though it has not been maintained since. The pool and hot tub were both clean, but the pool area was in sad need of cleaning and TLC. The house was spacious and very comfortable for my family, but there were no supplies whatsoever, including toilet paper or dish towels. Not even a broom and dust pan. The carpets need desperate cleaning, which is important when you have a toddler. What i read in another review about the nails in the decking was spot on. Do not walk on the decks barefoot. We were without a washer all week long and the toilets overflowed often. This property has GREAT potential so I am sad to say negative things, but for what was nearly the equivalent of my monthly salary, we not only expected, but have always enjoyed the pristine properties that we have visited via VRBO.

Dianna, Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. We work hard to maintain the property during every off-season, and we will be addressing each of the suggestions you have made. We have the carpets cleaned during each off-season, but their condition at the end of the season when you stayed at the house depends greatly upon the manner in which previous guests cared for the house. We have addressed the issue of nails in the decking, sanded the decks and re-stained them to address your concerns. We have also installed new high-end, Maytag front loading washer and dryer so that future guests should not experience any issues. We are sorry that your experience was not what you expected, but we hope that you will return to see that we have taken all of your suggestions seriously.

Lovely location, terrific owner

We went with family to stay at Bill's house. The house is indeed older, but we don't mind that. There were several problems including a broken grill, and the water heater busted. While these are normal problems that could happen at any time, Bill was very kind and swift to address them. It was challenging not having water for 12 hours with that many little kids but the complex had a pool with a bathroom so we made do! We also had to wait quite a bit for a plumber (no fault of Bill's), which meant we didn't get as much time on the beach as we would've liked. Probably the most disrupting issue was the raccoons who were in the vent/attic. Again, nothing BIll could do to prevent that and he was swift to respond. But, it did impact our sleep. Some of our family was very upset and seriously considered leaving early. We spent a lot of time communicating, taking pictures and then helping the trapper when he came. Again, more time waiting and not doing what we wanted to do. All in all, we loved the area, and the house was nice for a big family. We would suggest that the upstairs kitchen pantry be unlocked. For a big family there wasn't really anywhere convenient to store food. Again, Bill was communicative and so helpful and none of the issues were things he could have predicted. We are appreciative for how quickly he worked to resolve everything!

Sobre o anfitrião

Anfitrião: Bill

Imagem do perfil do anfitrião
Patrice and Bill grew up in Pennsylvania, lived in Maryland for almost 20 years, and now live in Raleigh, NC. Our four children and Father-in-Law (who lives with us) all enjoy the many faces of the ocean--from calm blue waves lapping on the wide beach to churning whitecaps generated by storms at sea.

After vacationing on the beaches of New Jersey as children, we enjoyed our first family reunions on the beaches of Delaware and Virginia. We then moved our reunions farther south to the clean, family-friendly beaches of North Carolina.

Por que o anfitrião escolheu essa propriedade

We rented houses on the Outer Banks for many years. From each of those houses, we made mental notes of features that worked well for the three generations attending our family reunions.

When we designed 'Castle in the Air', we incorporated the best features from each of the houses at which we had stayed over the years: Pool, Game Room and Recreation Room for the children to have their private space; Hot Tub, Whirlpools for two and televisions in all four Master Suites for the adults; Sun room and private deck for those whose idea of a great vacation is reading the book they have wanted to read for months.

We paid particular attention to providing views of the ocean from almost every room, but especially from the common areas--Kitchen, Living Room, Dining Room.

This house is truly our 'Castle in the Air'.

O que faz essa propriedade ser única?

Spectacular, panoramic views of historic Corolla Lighthouse, Ocean, Sound, National Park and undeveloped Northern Outer Banks from 4th floor deck. 1 minute walk to beach. Choice of 3 pools in which to swim each day as well as playground, basketball court, tennis courts, bike paths, walking trails.

Corolla is a unique destination that borders both the Atlantic Ocean and the Currituck Sound, allowing visitors to access to the salty ocean waves, the calm kayak-worthy sound waters, and the idyllic maritime forests that lie in between.

Corolla adds a touch of modern class to the classic Outer Banks vacation. Prized for both its seclusion and its abundance of upscale but funky shops and dining options, Corolla is the ideal vacation destination for families who are just as happy lounging on the beach in flip flops as they are indulging in an afternoon at the spa.

The small-town beach community combines all the best elements of a five star resort vacation, while still encompassing that laid-back Outer Banks style that embraces the beach life. With minimal development but lots of amenities, Corolla is perfect for those who want to get away from it all, but still enjoy all the best dining, shopping, water sports, and amenities that the Outer Banks has to offer.

Corolla's wild Horses - Roaming the Northern beaches of Corolla and Carova, this herd of Wild Colonial Spanish Mustangs is perhaps more popular than the Currituck Beach Lighthouse or Whalehead in Historic Corolla. Visitors can find the horses along the beach and within the community of Carova. A 4x4 vehicle is required to access this rather remote area. Guided tours are available in specialized vehicles.

The Corolla Wild Horses have been a draw to vacationers for decades, as their mystique and centuries old legacy is simply unmatched on the local OBX coastline. Added to this is the romantic idea of a beach vacation that's truly wild, with mustangs who travel up and down the Carova beaches with ease and absolute ab
