### Family Getaway in Top Spot: Dog Friendly w/ Heated Pool & Spa, 800ft to Beach

𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗚𝗼 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗢𝘄𝗻 𝗪𝗮𝘃𝗲! Whether you're a new or seasoned OBX visitor, you’ve found the right home for your next vacation. This well-appointed and lovingly maintained oceanside retreat in the heart of Corolla's Whalehead Beach is the ideal spot for family fun. Come experience the best of the Outer Banks with us!   
Here's what makes our home special:  
  
𝗕𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘅𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁𝘆: Our property is just 800 ft (\~5-min walk/6 houses) to the beach. The Coral St. beach access path begins just one lot away from our house, which makes it incredibly convenient for families with young children to enjoy the sand and surf. Got a ton of stuff or tired toddlers to transport? No problem! Simply load up our handy wagons and enjoy a hassle-free day by the ocean. We are east of NC-12 with no major roads to cross.  
  
𝗘𝘅𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗟𝗼𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: With an oversized half-acre lot that’s close to Corolla’s many attractions, our home’s location is the perfect balance between convenience and privacy. The neighborhood is safe, quiet, spacious, and well-maintained. Within 1 mile, you’ll find a large selection of shops, grocery stores, attractions, and delicious local eateries. Family-friendly activities abound in Corolla with something for everyone—fishing, crabbing, kayaking, parasailing, boat charters and rentals, jet skiing, mini golf, bumper cars, sightseeing, shopping, and more are all available to you. Discover countless other charms such as golf courses, beer gardens and breweries, historical attractions like the Whalehead Club and Currituck Beach Lighthouse, and the 4x4 beaches (home of the famed Corolla wild horses). We're in a great spot if you enjoy renting bikes or golf carts!  
  
𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘁: With five generous-sized bedrooms, each offering at least one king or queen bed, our home offers flexible sleeping arrangements accommodating up to 15 guests comfortably. Ample common spaces both indoor and out ensure that everyone can relax and spread out after a day of adventure.  
  
𝗨𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗔𝗺𝗲𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀: Enjoy endless entertainment with our private heated swimming pool (12'x24'), inviting hot tub, large yard, and a spacious sand pit area—a perfect shaded area for kids to build sandcastles, play games, and let their imaginations run wild. With outdoor barstools and a drink rail, it’s a great spot for adults to socialize and play yard games, too! The heated pool feature ensures enjoyment even during cooler seasons.   
  
𝗞𝗶𝗱-𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗹𝘆 𝗘𝘅𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘀: We've got your little ones covered with baby/toddler essentials, including cribs, highchairs, gates, and more—all available at no extra cost. Plus, plenty of beach and pool toys and gear to keep them entertained for hours. Inquire for more specifics.  
  
𝗣𝗲𝘁 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗹𝘆: Two dogs stay free with each reservation. If you have additional four-legged travelers, that's no problem. We can accommodate additional dogs for $175 per animal with advance notice. There are no breed or weight restrictions, but they need to be at least 1 year old, fully housebroken, and sufficiently trained not to be destructive.   
  
𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗹-𝗘𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗱 𝗞𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗻: Our kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need for family meals and cookouts, making it easy to prepare delicious feasts together (see bulleted list below). In 2024, we undertook a major renovation project, including the complete overhaul of our kitchen and dry bar areas. These updates were designed with our guests' needs in mind, and our reviews frequently compliment its functionality and aesthetics as a highlight of the stay.   
  
𝗟𝗼𝗮𝗱𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗘𝘅𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘀: We strive to provide our guests with everything they need for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. These include:  
• Bed linens and bath towels (but bring your own beach towels)  
• Beach/pool gear—chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, wagon, toys, etc.  
• Baby/toddler essentials—full-size crib, pack-n-play, extra toddler mattress, two highchairs, booster seat, step stool, multiple gates, changing pad, noise machines, monitors, and outlet covers  
• Dinnerware, cutlery, and glassware for 15, as well as plenty of bakeware, cookware, prepware, and kitchen utensils (including a knife sharpener!)  
• Small appliances such as a coffee maker (drip and k-cup, plus carafes for French press and cold brew), slow cooker, blender, toaster, and stand mixer  
• Second refrigerator with freezer for overflow food and beverages, plus a beer/wine mini fridge  
• Cable and streaming services, smart TVs, and wireless internet throughout   
• Washer and dryer

• Keyless entry and contactless check in  
  
𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗛𝗼𝘀𝘁𝘀: As hands-on owners, we’re dedicated to ensuring your stay is as enjoyable as possible. No one knows our house like us. If you have questions about how to work the features of the home, or need suggestions for restaurants or activities, we’re here for you throughout your stay. First time to Corolla? We provide a robust welcome guide with tons of information about the property and surrounding attractions. Still have questions? Just ask! We're committed to continuously maintaining and improving our property to exceed guest expectations and provide a comfortable and inviting environment for families to enjoy.  
  
𝗡𝗼 𝗛𝗶𝗱𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝗙𝗲𝗲𝘀: We believe in transparent pricing. Everything is included in the nightly rate, from cleaning to pool heat.   
  
𝗣𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗛𝗼𝘁 𝗧𝘂𝗯 𝗔𝘃𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆: For 2025, the swimming pool will be available beginning April 5 through November 1, and the hot tub will remain available through January 3, 2026\.

If your reservation falls outside these dates and you would like to request use of these accommodations, please contact us and we will be happy to quote you an additional charge to make them available to you, if possible. Requests cannot be guaranteed. Please note that the pool heater will only operate if the ambient air temperature is above 55° F. It will not heat the pool if the air temperature is below this minimum threshold. Cooler air temperatures above 55° F may not provide sufficient heat to keep the pool water as warm as desired. Water temperature is dependent on several factors and is not guaranteed.  
  
𝗥𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝘀: See rental agreement for full terms. Guests are required to provide a photo ID and sign our vacation rental agreement, which will be emailed after booking. A preview document is available, and all prospective guests are encouraged to review it prior to booking. Advertised rates are subject to change and are not guaranteed until payment is processed. This is a nonsmoking property. The maximum occupancy permitted on the property at any time is 15 people, including infants and children. The number and sizes of beds offered are meant to accommodate flexible sleeping arrangements and should not be taken as a representation of permitted occupancy. The minimum age to rent is 25 years at the time of occupancy. We don’t permit groups of high school, college, or other unrelated individuals under age 25, even with the promise of chaperones.

#### Great place/great location

The place was plenty big to accommodate our group and had a beautiful deck and screened in porch that I enjoyed. The pool was excellent and the proximity to the beach was exactly as listed. It was very close to the public beach access and a short walk. We had a wonderful time on our first trip to Corolla in the Outer Banks. Megan was very easy to communicate with via the Vrbo app.

#### Wonderful week

We had a relaxing and fun time at this house. There are so many small conveniences around every corner, so it feels like home away from home. The location was a short walk to the beach and close to shops and restaurants. The heated pool and hot tub were so nice, and the amount of pool floats and kids toys made it so enjoyable. The very best part was not having to bring a crib, high chair, baby monitor, outlet covers, etc because the owner thought of everything. We had such a nice time and would love to go back again.

#### Beautiful beach Oasis

This property is prettier than the pictures show. There was so much space for everyone in our party. The pool was perfectly warmed for our chilly April visit. The kitchen was out of this world full of everything you would need for cooking, the aqua back splash was so pretty. Megan checked in and was available if needed

#### Professional, Clean, would definitely come back!

This house was a great find for our friend group. Multiple floors, all with attached bathrooms so everyone could have their own space. A great spot if you have babies as they are equip with a good amount of baby related items. The best pool closet, we recommend!

#### Exactly what we needed

Go Your Own Wave was a fantastic property for our two families. We had more than enough space and everything was exactly as shown in pictures and described. All our questions were answered in less than 24 hours, everything was in working order which made our trip very relaxing! We would love to come back again next year.

#### Great Thanksgiving Memories

We loved our latest stay at Go Your Own Wave! The host, Megan, was great to work with and made us feel as though this was our home away from home. The house is well-maintained and stocked with everything we needed to enjoy our Thanksgiving. We noticed many upgrades since our last visit two years ago. Our favorite was the pool heater! The water was so warm, and the kids and adults had hours of fun splashing around. We also loved that it was just a short drive to the 4x4 beaches, so we could air down and see the wild horses. Many happy memories made. We look forward to returning!

#### Wonderful!!!!!

Beautifully decorated home for a relaxing family vacation. There were a dozen of us. We had plenty of room for sleeping, eating, and gathering. The home is supplied with EVERYTHING you would need or want. The owners are very thoughtful and very communicative which was appreciated. We prepared 3 meals daily and were grateful for a kitchen very well stocked. The boardwalk for the beach access is visible from the front yard. The pool water temperature was perfect making the pool area very enjoyable. We would recommend Go Your Own Wave to all :)

#### Perfect for family of all ages

We were all impressed with the details throughout the home. From the very well stocked kitchen to the sound machine in the bedrooms to the night lights in the bathrooms. It met all our needs and exceeded our needs with regards to making sure the home was safe for the littlest family members. They had outlet covers, a crib, two high chairs which got used and also gates for the stairs! Highly impressed. Saving the best for last - our host told us she would let us know if we could access the house earlier and she ACTUALLY DID let us know! Great home Megan!

#### Perfect family OBX vacation

House was clean and in good repair. SO many extras provided. Kitchen is very well stocked and bedrooms are spacious and so comfortable. Beautiful decks with great safe access for small children and dog. Pool area was a great hit and also had safe gates for young ones. Excellent family home rental for young ones and a pet. Easy beach access, beautiful neighborhood with a great beach! Would stay again in a heartbeat with my family! Owners are amazing and take great care of their beachhouse.

#### Perfection!

The communication with the property owner was fantastic, never had any issues and my questions were always answered promptly. As far as the house goes… it looks exactly as listed! Which in and of itself it’s a great thing. It’s in the perfect location, a few minutes walk to the beach and around the corner from multiple grocers and little shops. This home has everything you need (coming from a family that traveled with an infant) to ensure you can pack just a little bit lighter! I highly recommend this stay to anyone whose looking and I can’t wait to come back!!

#### Great property close to the beach

The house was wonderful. We were impressed with how clean it was on arrival. The owner was very helpful and nice. They seem to have done a lot to update the home, and the pictures don't really do it justice to how nice it is. My kids LOVED going in the color changing hot tub each night. The neighborhood and proximity to the beach were outstanding. We loved all the decks. We could feel the stress melt away as we sat out there and enjoyed the view and peacefulness of sunrise and sunset. This was our first time vacationing in OBX and this experience convinced us to return in the future. Overall and easy and fun New Year celebration!

#### A Gem in Corolla

Our family was lucky enough to spend two wonderful weeks at Go Your Own Wave! What a marvelous find! From the moment we arrived, the house was so welcoming! We were greeted with a fun gift bag of goodies and a very generous free dozen bagels from Lighthouse Bagels for each week we stayed! How yummy! Megan did a wonderful job communicating with our family and frequently checked in to see if there was anything we needed to make our stay more comfortable. The house was so well stocked with everything imaginable! Megan did not miss anything! Our family stayed during an extremely hot week in June and thoroughly enjoyed the pool when it was too hot to venture onto the beach. Our family enjoyed morning and evening strolls on the beach and the distance to get to the beach was just amazing! We even were able to see a sea turtle's nest one evening. It was a very special two weeks, and we could not have asked for a better place to spend our vacation. When you book Go Your Own Wave, you will be treated to a wonderful oasis! We loved the views from the decks and the ample seating throughout the house. The beds were extremely comfy and everyone enjoyed their stay!! Thank you so much!! We will be back!!

#### BEDBUGS!!!!!!!

My family and I traveled 12hrs for our Thanksgiving celebration just to be greeted with BEDBUGS! After the discovery the owner didn’t contact us back for several hours and had Zero empathy when told about the situation. She kicked us out of the property stating she wanted pest control to come. Megan gave us 2hrs to get off her property or she was going to call the police. VRBO was very nice and gave my family and I 3 hotel rooms. Megan never even apologized! DO NOT STAY IN THIS PROPERTY THE WHOLE BOTTOM LEVEL IS INFESTED!!!!!!

#### Vacation

House was dirty. Dog hair everywhere, trash filled when we got there as well as recycling. found broken glass on floor in living room. bubblegum stuck to headboard. Lots of clothing tag trash through out house. No shades in living room. Kitchen pans were old and hard to cook with. no toaster just toaster oven. Some of our party arrived at 3 o’clock, an hour early. Pulled into the driveway and the cleaning crew pulled in behind them. they cleaned whole house in one hour. Bedroom tvs had child hand smears all over them. Beds have very hard mattresses. definitely will not be coming back to this house.

#### Buyer beware - and worms all over the first floor

We have done same trip w/VRBO & other sites. I have the highest ratings & treat rentals like my own. The Outer Banks NC is known for larger houses and people travel with groups. This owner has a requirement very outside of the norm and it is NOT clearly called out in the VRBO listing. Buried in a 10 page contract it states family by blood or marriage only. The owner watches the cameras very closely - creepy. You can't even have another family over for lunch. I put 10 adults and 4 kids in my request but didn't realize friends weren't allowed, only my husband and I are drinking age so no parties or noise complaints. We had to get a lawyer engaged and rent a 2nd house last minute while down on vacation. It was my mistake for not noticing this requirement in the contract but I don't normally feel I need legal review for a 1 week rental. I was honest and said there were friends, offered higher security deposit, offered to add a new person to the lease, offered to move most to another location, owner clearly wanted the house back for themselves this week and would not work with us at all. VRBO tried calling her to explain contract is unexpected and the type of renter I am, she was unwilling to cooperate. Her property mgmt co were shocked when asked to come inspect and saw our calm group. If planning to bring anyone who isn't officially your family (even 1 person) RENT A DIFFERENT HOUSE!!! Also tons of worms on 1st floor. Many others to pick from!
