Property Details

most unique rental on the Eastern Seaboard. Located on the "gold coast" area of Corolla, it is the only section of beach on the entire Outer Banks that offers a true ocean and sound front experience. Offering prestigious landmark sites, this gracious, spacious Victorian home sits high on a bluff like dune with an absolutely breathtaking atmosphere. On it's 23 foot elevation overlooking the majestic Atlantic Ocean, Currituck Sound, Corolla Lighthouse & the famous Monkey Island SUNNYBANK boasts of the best views for 100 miles. Penny's Hill Dune, (the Outer Banks second largest natural dune, second only to Jockey's Ridge) is located almost in your backyard, offering your kids or yourself a playground yet to be matched. A glimpse out of any window in this home excites the senses. Savor the water views from every room of this unique coastal destination. Let unsurpassable ocean sunrises and sound sunsets mesmerize you. Explore the magic timelessness of the Outer Banks 50 years ago before roads and traffic.

This home is located only 2.2 miles up the beach in the four wheel drive territory of Corolla and less than 10 minutes from the Food Lion shopping complex offering unlimited shopping, restaurants, bars, golf and a movie theater. The local gas station/convenience store can be accessed in less than 5 minutes. It is like having your own private driveway; one side is bounded by the Atlantic Ocean, guarded by an army of Sandpipers, marching in unison along the water edge. On the other side exists an estuarine nature sanctuary, on the beautiful Currituck Outer Banks in a last truly pristine area, with high sand dunes, beautiful trees and thousands of acres of Island Sanctuary. Listen to the swan and geese in the coves. Observe the regal osprey as he rules the air currents. At night gaze into more stars than you have ever seen in your life. Stay in one of the few properties on the Outer Banks where you can experience the unsurpassed beauty of water-view sunrises and sunsets.

Elevator & Handicapped accessible. Large heated salt-water pool. Kiddy pool, 2 hot tubs & all the toys including Kayaks & Surf Boards!! Seclusion with easy accessibility is the main ingredients for this fabulous mansion set on an elevated oceanfront 3 acres with hundreds of undeveloped acres surrounding it. Photograph dolphins offshore or a herd of wild horses, birds, and various wildlife sipping water from one of the local fresh-water pools. Most of all forget how to work and remember how to play and have fun again.

Things to do: Locally, you may want to visit the Whalehead Club at the lighthouse, a turn of the Century hunting "camp." It's a restored mansion from the glory days of the great hunt camps of the gilded age. Tours are given daily. Right next door, the Currituck Beach Lighthouse is also open for tours. There's a lighthouse, keeper's cottage and a bit of the old Corolla village.

Call me about day trips that can keep you busy all week. We even have pontoon boat sound trips, a great half day Wine Tasting trip on a pontoon boat that takes you to Knotts, across the sound.

If you're in the mood for a beach drive, the Virginia border is a 14-mile jaunt North. Drive carefully; the beach is visited by sea turtles, seals resting on their migration, etc. Dolphin sightings are common; whale sightings are much less common.

You will know when you've made it to the border. We can't get a straight answer as to why, but the border is fenced, and crossing is forbidden! Some kind of dispute between NC and VA? As recently as the 80s, a portable casino plied its trade right here. When the Feds came up the beach on a raid, the locals would hitch up their tractors and drag their rec. hall to the safe side. Those were the days.
