About this property

Charming cottage 2 blocks from the beach

This vacation home has been beautifully renovated with the idea that a rental can feel unique and personal rather than generic and impersonal. Located in the beach community of Whalehead in Corolla, this upscale home features two en suite master bedrooms and two bedrooms having two twin beds each and a shared bathroom -- perfect for one or two families, a girls’ weekend, or a couple wanting a cozy home that's neither too big nor too small.

For the hot summer months, the private pool is refreshing, and the covered pergola poolside will allow for hours spent reading, napping or socializing without getting sunburned. And the fun can continue into the evening with the grill fired up and the lights on! There is a double swing on the mid-level deck, also a nice spot to enjoy by yourself or with a companion.

The house comes with beach umbrellas and chairs, as well as a decent collection of boogie boards and sandcastle building "equipment" for the kids. There’s also a cart to carry all this, making the short walk to the beach even easier. It’s only a three minute walk down a nice paved boardwalk to the beach. For those familiar with Whalehead, this is the Barracuda Walkway.

The house also offers some privacy, as it is surrounded by stands of pines, making it feel like it’s tucked in its own little cocoon.

As the owner/reservation agent/concierge whose been vacationing here for over twenty-five years, I'm happy to help my guests with their vacation planning. I care that all guests thoroughly enjoy their time spent in my home and this wonderful beach area.

Please note that my home is only available for rent on VRBO/HomeAway. It is not available on a third-party site or Craigslist. When making inquiries or bookings, you would only speak with me (the owner); I am always happy to talk and answer any questions you may have.

Spacious, Clean, Convenient
This property was perfect for our family getaway to Corolla. We traveled with a family of 4 and grandparents. There was ample space and accommodations for everyone. Everything was provided. Having the washer and dryer was very convenient. The beach was just a short walk and the property included everything needed for the beach (wagon, carts, beach toys, chairs, umbrellas.) The property also has a nice sized pool which was good because the beach had red flags and we couldn’t swim in the ocean. The kids rooms are nice and have thoughtful touches that the kids were excited about (LEGOS in the boy’s room and plush sea creatures in the girl’s room). We also enjoyed reading the books available in their rooms. The property is mostly private for where it is located. It is also a short drive to some good restaurants, shopping, grocery store, arcade, etc. Lastly, the property owner was very responsive and helpful. We enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.

Beautiful Home in Great Corolla Location
Perfect home for a group of 4-6 people. Walk to the beach was about 10 minutes and a well constructed walkway right by the house made it easy to get to. House was furnished beautifully, beds were comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed, including an amazing selection of spices. Pool was the BEST -- and we'll never rent another home without one! Thank you, Julie, for sharing your home and for all the suggestions you made to make our trip so memorable!

Vacation in a Tree House
Julies property was a wonderful stay. Nestled in the trees, the 3rd floor seemed more like a stay in a tree house than at the beach. Do not be fooled though, a quick walk on the direct path to the ocean gives you the best of both worlds! Private swimming pool, comfortable beds, fully furnished kitchen made our vacation one of the bests we ever had!

About the host

Hosted by Julie Harris

Host profile image
Thank you for your interest in our beach house. This house was built in 1986 by my Aunt, and was her pride and joy for over thirty years until she passed away in 2012. My Aunt wanted this house to stay in the family and be enjoyed for decades so she designated us as its new owners and caretakers. We gratefully accepted the honor.

Why they chose this property

This property was completely renovated in 2013. A new kitchen, new bathrooms, an added 1/2 bath upstairs. Freshly painted inside and out. Master bedroom was redesigned to accommodate a king size bed. All the furniture and linens are new. All kitchenware is new, dishes, glasses, silverware, pots and pans.

What makes this property unique

This property is designed for one or two families. Family reunions will have to be for another day. With a straight walk to the beach on a walkway, it's convenient to go back to the house to refill the cooler, jump in the pool, or find reprieve from the midday sun.
