This clean and contemporary Corolla retreat brings you back to what matters most—sun, sand, and time together. Located in the family-friendly Whalehead Beach neighborhood, you can expect a relaxed setting where everyone is on vacation. Enjoy easy access to the Sailfish pedestrian path, which leads directly to a public beach access with a wooden walkway and bike rack. Walk, bike, or drive the half mile to Corolla's premier shopping center - Timbuck II and Monterey Shores Plaza, where you can find everything from sushi to surfboards. Explore Historic Corolla Park, just 2.5 miles away, or keep going until the road turns to sand for a glimpse of the famous wild horses. Guests will appreciate how close this home is to everything, while still enjoying the coastal vacation charm that makes Corolla special. Built for Gathering, Inside & Out The renovated kitchen is well stocked for year-round cooking, while the open great room and dining area provide plenty of space for meals and conversations. Each of the nine Smart TVs—one in every bedroom, plus the great room and rec room—makes it simple to wind down after the day's adventures. Guests also note the attention to detail: puzzles, games, and books for all ages, a second full-size refrigerator and freezer in the laundry room, and clean, well-maintained furnishings that compliment a beachy escape. Outdoors, the fun continues with a private pool, hot tub, and plenty of room for lounging in the sun. A sound system sets the mood, while the basketball hoop, volleyball setup, and outdoor games add energy to afternoons by the pool. Multiple decks make it easy to enjoy coffee in the morning, sunset breezes in the evening, or a late-night chat under the stars.
