Life is Swell @ The Beach Club at Whalehead

Life is Swell at this brand-new, opulent bungalow by the sea – a true WOW vacation opportunity. Located at the northern tip of North Carolina's Outer Banks, Corolla beckons with the promise of shoreline adventures—whether admiring wild mustangs, angling for the big catch of the day or appreciating some beach time fun. Round up your closest friends and cherished family for a well-deserved getaway by the sea.

Just across the street from the historic Whalehead Park, Historic Corolla and the functional Currituck Lighthouse, the Beach Club at Whalehead is a unique community that offers a wide range of amenities to savor during your stay.

Step outside and indulge in the giant, heated resort-style pool with daily cabana rental available**, ideal for calming and soaking up the sun. Cabanas include a private TV, mini refrigerator, couch/table, curtains for privacy, and outlets to keep your devices charged for capturing those memorable moments. Nearby, comfortable seating areas with gas firepits await, ideal for evening gatherings under the stars.

The pristine beaches are effortlessly accessible via an ADA compliant paved sidewalk, ensuring convenience for all guests. For those seeking relaxation after a long day of fun, your private hot tub and outdoor TV provide the ultimate getaway. Swell is also dog-friendly, ensuring that your four-legged friends can join in on the fun. We may be biased, but we think the hot tub (Swell is one of the few properties in the community that has one) is literally the best place in the entire community to watch the sunset over Historic Corolla Park or to view close by bald eagle nest from.

After a day at the beach, rinse off or clean your pups in the private outdoor shower before retreating to the comfort of your choice of three king bedrooms, each offering a cozy and relaxing ambiance. Entertainment options abound with cable TV and intelligent TVs in all rooms and the living room. All rooms also have ample additional charging outlets for your use during your stay.

The open floorplan and upsized kitchen island mean everybody will be a part of the fun. Just mins. from grocery and other conveniences including a brand-new ABC Store, you can shop once and never get in your car again during your stay if you so want.

Additional amenities include a private electric car charging outlet in the garage, and a dog park for your furry companions to appreciate. Great new features available as of summer 2024 include access to an on-site Mexican-style casual restaurant "The Salty Rim," clubhouse, exercise center, massage therapy services and pickleball court for those looking to stay active during your stay.

Tips to get the optimal Currituck rental home experience:

When to go & When to reserve a Corolla rental home:

• The earlier your group can book, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are reserved early. Booking your vacation rental six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental.
• To find the best value, change your group's vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer warm weather, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Currituck vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Property managers typically offer renters an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Often, management companies supply Currituck area travel guides that include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Currituck visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Selecting the best vacation rental:

• First and foremost, have your family choose a vacation week and a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Life is Swell - Enjoy it at the beach! Pet Friendly! has 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is often available on booking pages. If they are not listed, contact the property management company before reserving the property. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If your group is bringing pets, you must book a pet-friendly property. Make sure to ask for details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's an individual Currituck attraction you are enamored with, look for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

More tips for your stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Save the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, television set or thermostat. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent many concerns.
• Lock your rental while you are out and about. Keep your property safe!
• To make certain that damages are not attributed to your family's visit, inspect the property for any problem areas when you arrive. E-mail the host immediately to relay any issues. If there is a dispute, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Be a good neighbor. Often, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all belongings. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a excellent vacation? Most rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your rental and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
