About this property

A Golden Opportunity: Semi-Oceanfront w/Heated Pool, Hot Tub, Across from Beach!

A Golden Opportunity: Semi-Oceanfront home in the Whalehead Beach Community in Corolla with a private heated pool, hot tub and is located directly across from the beach!

Bed Sizes (after new addition is complete): 3 King, 1 Queen, 2 Twins, 2 Bunk Beds

New for 2025: Two new bedrooms along with 3 additional bathrooms will be added along with a new great room with extra seating!

Don't miss this golden opportunity to visit a slice of paradise in Whalehead! Located on a semi-oceanfront lot, A Golden Opportunity is a newly updated 6 bedroom, 6 bath home that is just steps away from the beach. Conveniently located across from the beach access, you and your group will be at the beach with your toes in the sand in no time!

Inside the home, coastal charm and modern amenities blend seamlessly to create the perfect spot for your OBX vacation. The top level of the home offers panoramic views and sun decks allowing you to catch glimpses of the ocean while you sip your morning coffee, or enjoy your meals in the screened porch overlooking the beach. All of the bedrooms are on the mid-level, making them easy to access while giving everyone a quiet place to relax after a busy day of exploring Corolla. Spending time outside on the pool deck will be the highlight of the trip. Enclosed in its own private yard, you'll have access to a large heated pool (pool heat can be added on for an additional fee) along with a hot tub and picnic area, covered by the pergola. Try your skills at a volleyball game with your own private court in the backyard.

Exploring the Outer Banks: While in Corolla, you can't miss out on visiting the many shopping, eating and sightseeing options on the north-end of the OBX. Just to the north of the home, you'll find Whalehead Park, which is home to the Whalehead Club which sits right on the sound, perfect for catching gorgeous sunsets over the water. Take a climb up the Currituck Lighthouse and capture views of the Outer Banks from the sky!

Beach Access: Just a quick walk from the home! Head north out of the driveway and cross Lighthouse Drive at Herring Street. The beach access has a cleared dune walkover for easy access.

Heated pools are available Week Prior to Easter through Memorial Day and Labor Day Week through Mid-October.

Ultimate vacation home

The house was ideal, clean and accomadated our family. The pool,hot tub and access to the beach was a few of the best attractions. The two restaurants (the broken plate and our favorite North Banks grill) was outstanding. We surely did not want to leave but we definitely will be back.

The BEST Location

We had an absolute BLAST at the Golden Opportunity!! The location to the beach couldn't be beat, especially with toddlers. We traveled with 4 adults and 3 toddlers and the house was perfect size. We loved the pool, the outdoor shower, and the open concept upstairs. The only complaint we have is that it's already booked for same time next year :( we look forward to returning as soon as we can!!

A true golden opportunity

We absolutely loved this house. The location was amazing. We just crossed the street and were on the beautiful beach. The pool was an absolute delight with so many pool floats, the kids had a blast. The hot tub was a delight as well. The house was very comfortable and had all the comforts of home. The outdoor shower and bathroom were an added bonus. We look forward to a return visit!

Best Vacation Ever

The photos of house were spot on, it even exceeded our expectations! The location and access to beach is wonderful! Great view of ocean from upper deck! We loved the big open upstairs room, decks, pool space. Owners even called to check on our stay! Master bath is small but my husband enjoyed showering in outside shower. We made great family memories here and hope to rent home again!

Wonderful location, house in Corolla

This was my family's first time in the Outer Banks and we thoroughly enjoyed our time in "A Golden Opportunity." The house was clean, very well maintained, and had all the amenities we could have wanted. The kitchen was very nicely stocked with equipment, etc. The beds were comfortable and in general everything just worked! And the location is great--the view of ocean is perfect and we and our kids made the 10-second walk to the beach multiple times a day. Would stay here again.

Picture perfect

The house and location to the beach were perfect. The view of the ocean from the front porch was amazing. We had 4 adults and 5 children in our group and never felt like we were on top of each other because the upstairs living area was so spacious. Everyone had a blast in the pool. The renovations to the house were beautiful. This was definitely one of the best and most memorable beach houses we have stayed in. Wish we were still there!

Overall nice stay.

The house was well equipped and the renovations that have been done are great. The pool heat was in and out and we were without the pool filtering water for about 24 hours, so that was a bummer. The decks are wonderful and have a great view of the ocean. It would be nice if things were a little cleaner(there were a lot of cobwebs and it just needed a good deep cleaning of some of the forgotten spots). Overall we had a good stay and would stay again.

Family adventures in Corolla

The house was perfect for us. My husband and I along with our three adult kids and their spouses enjoyed the house immensely. The porch swing was a big hit. Also, the pool and hot tub were used a lot. Cornhole was a big hit with my family. Always love a good competition. I loved walking across our quaint street to the beach. I felt very comfortable running by myself through the neighborhood in the morning. We had several family bike rides. From our neighborhood we were able to ride our bikes to get ice cream, pizza, or an afternoon Margarita. Great Location!!

Wow! What a great house and location!!

This house was amazing! The pictures really don’t do it justice! Nice and clean with great decor. The kitchen has everything we needed and more! We picked up a grocery order immediately after arriving and enjoyed at least 80% of our meals right at the house. Plenty of room for all of us to spread out. We enjoyed the hot tub, the huge yard with a volleyball net and private pool…. And the LOCATION!!!… the beach is seriously right across the street! I walked over every morning with my coffee to watch the sun come up over the ocean…. And went back several times during the day and at night. We had a fabulous week in this house and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful, comfortable place to stay very close to the beach! ❤️

My husband and I commented upon first walking the house, “this is exactly the type of house we want to own as a vacation home”. It was perfect in every way. Except for the flooded lot/backyard. But the high waters led to baby frogs accidentally hopping into the pool and my teenage boys loved fishing them back out. 🤪 We will certainly be back!

Holy Vacation Rental!!!

We have been trying to find a place that we can vacation EVERY year. This was it. I cannot say enough great things! It has everything you need from boogie boards to kitchen accessories. We are going back and staying for two weeks. Hands down the best rental and we’ve been to 8 different ones over the years all over Outer Banks. Cleanliness was on point as well!!!!!!
