A Golden Opportunity: Semi-Oceanfront w/Heated Pool, Hot Tub and Across from Beach!

A Golden Opportunity: Semi-Oceanfront home in the Whalehead Beach Community in Corolla with a private heated pool, hot tub and is located directly across from the beach!

Bed Sizes (after new addition is complete): 3 King, 1 Queen, 2 Twins, 2 Bunk Beds

New for 2025: Two new bedrooms along with 3 additional bathrooms will be added along with a new great room with extra seating!

Don't miss this golden opportunity to visit a slice of paradise in Whalehead! Located on a semi-oceanfront lot, A Golden Opportunity is a newly updated 6 bedroom, 6 bath home that is just steps away from the beach. Conveniently located across from the beach access, you and your group will be at the beach with your toes in the sand in no time!

Inside the home, coastal charm and modern amenities blend seamlessly to create the perfect spot for your OBX vacation. The top level of the home offers panoramic views and sun decks allowing you to catch glimpses of the ocean while you sip your morning coffee, or enjoy your meals in the screened porch overlooking the beach. All of the bedrooms are on the mid-level, making them easy to access while giving everyone a quiet place to relax after a busy day of exploring Corolla. Spending time outside on the pool deck will be the highlight of the trip. Enclosed in its own private yard, you'll have access to a large heated pool (pool heat can be added on for an additional fee) along with a hot tub and picnic area, covered by the pergola. Try your skills at a volleyball game with your own private court in the backyard.

Loved the convenience of the beach access right across the street. This being a semi-oceanfront home, the ocean views from not only the upper deck but inside the upper level were beautiful!

Unbeatable location, top-notch outdoor space, beautifully renovated, and comfortable beds and furniture. It was a dream home for our family of four. It was so easy to bop back and forth to the beach and we couldn’t get enough of the pool and the views.

The house was ideal, clean and accomadated our family. The pool,hot tub and access to the beach was a few of the best attractions. The two restaurants (the broken plate and our favorite North Banks grill) was outstanding. We surely did not want to leave but we definitely will be back.

This is the second year of staying in this home and we couldn't ask for a better place for our family. The location to the beach is perfect especially with little kids. The house has everything you could ever need and then some. We had rain most of the week but were still able to get in the hot tub which was a plus. Can't wait to stay here again.

We were pleased with the house.

Beautiful family memories were made here! It was our second time staying at this property. We enjoyed the open living area, back porch, decks with view of beach, and backyard. We also appreciated the upgrade to the master bathroom and porch swing! . Can’t wait to go back!

Beautiful and fabulous home! Great location, easy beach access and we enjoyed the saltwater pool everyday. Well stocked in the kitchen, plenty of space and good layout. Comfortable beds. Plenty of outdoor seating to enjoy the view and ocean breeze. We will return to the Golden Opportunity.

We had an absolute BLAST at the Golden Opportunity!! The location to the beach couldn't be beat, especially with toddlers. We traveled with 4 adults and 3 toddlers and the house was perfect size. We loved the pool, the outdoor shower, and the open concept upstairs. The only complaint we have is that it's already booked for same time next year :( we look forward to returning as soon as we can!!

What a great house!! Location location location!! The pool was clean and refreshing after a full day at the beach… lots of great beach accessories… puzzles and games.. well stocked kitchen! We will be regulars for sure. It will be fun watching our grandkids grow up at “Nanas Beach House “ as they called it!

10/10

The photos of house were spot on, it even exceeded our expectations! The location and access to beach is wonderful! Great view of ocean from upper deck! We loved the big open upstairs room, decks, pool space. Owners even called to check on our stay! Master bath is small but my husband enjoyed showering in outside shower. We made great family memories here and hope to rent home again!

Overall great and plan to go back but the volleyball has been covered by the retention pond and is NOT going down. Might be best to just fence before that.

The house and location to the beach were perfect. The view of the ocean from the front porch was amazing. We had 4 adults and 5 children in our group and never felt like we were on top of each other because the upstairs living area was so spacious. Everyone had a blast in the pool. The renovations to the house were beautiful. This was definitely one of the best and most memorable beach houses we have stayed in. Wish we were still there!

This place was fantastic. Great location and great amenities. My only complaint was that we rented the place because it had a hot tub and they forgot to get the hot tub ready for us. The owner did call (which I appreciated) and owned the problem and had someone come out on Monday and get it set up, so in the end, we were very satisfied. Other than that, a perfect experience and we would definitely rent this place again in the future!
