We have a 12x24' heated in-ground pool and a 6-person jetted hot tub with color-changing lights. Both amenities generally are available spring to fall, with exact dates determined by interest. Please inquire for specific dates before booking. Outside of these time frames, both amenities are winterized. 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.
Yes, by an electric heat pump. The maximum temperature limit (set point) is 86° F; however, the actual water temperature may deviate depending on several factors and is not guaranteed. There are a few things guests should understand about how a pool heat pump functions:
1. Heat pumps draw in ambient air and transfer heat from the air to the pool. The heater will only operate if the ambient air temperature is above 55° F. The heater will not "kick in" if the air temperature is below the minimum threshold.
2. Cooler air temperatures above 55° F may not provide sufficient heat to keep the pool water as warm as desired. This means that although the heater may raise the water temperature, it may not reach the 86° F maximum.
3. Under optimal conditions, heat pumps may raise the water temperature 10–20° F above the consistent ambient air temperature.
4. The heater will run automatically to maintain the desired temperature. If the heater senses that the pool temperature has dropped more than 1° below the set point, then the heater will automatically turn on and begin working to raise the temperature (assuming the ambient air temperature requirements are met).
Yep. Bed linens, bath towels, pillows, blankets, etc. are all provided. Guests should plan to provide their own beach towels. If traveling with little ones, you'll also want to bring crib sheets, pack-n-play sheets, and changing pad covers. We may have some on hand that you’re welcome to use, but they’re not guaranteed.

You may already know that your packing list needs to contain bathing suits and sunscreen. But, if you're new to staying in a vacation rental home, or you recognize that amenities may vary from home to home, you may be wondering what extra things you need to bring or be prepared to purchase when you arrive.
While our home is stocked with many of the comforts of home, including bedding and kitchen essentials, there are a few more items you will want to pack. Upon arrival, you'll find a welcome bag with an initial supply of toilet paper, paper towels, hand soap, dishwashing liquid, dishwasher detergent, trash bags, laundry soap. These should get you through your first 24 hours, but you'll want to pick up additional supplies to get you through the remainder of your stay. Napkins, condiments, cooking spices, trash bags, and coffee filters are other things you may want to purchase while at the store. And, while bath towels are provided, beach towels are not, so be sure to bring yours from home.
Scroll down for floorplans or view our gallery for photos of each space. Our home is a reverse floor plan that is typical of the Outer Banks. The top level is open concept with vaulted ceilings and several windows and sliding doors to provide excellent natural light. L-shaped decks and a screened-in porch make a lovely entertaining spaces for taking in the beautiful Corolla sunrises/sunsets or dining al fresco in the evenings. Bedroom 1 features a king bed and full bathroom.
The middle level features three bedrooms and a generous foyer. Bedroom 2 has a king bed and an en suite bathroom with a stall shower and large soaking tub. Sliding glass doors provide access to the lower-level deck. Bedroom 3 features a king bed and a full attached bathroom. It also has a full-size crib (that can easily be wheeled to other bedrooms if needed). Bedroom 4 contains one queen and one twin bed.
The ground level offers a fifth bedroom perfect for kids or teens. It features two queens and two trundle beds. There is also a half bath and an enclosed outdoor shower on this level, in addition to a laundry room (with second refrigerator).
Check out our space in the video below. Situated on a private half-acre lot, our home boasts ample outdoor living space with something for everyone. The rear of the property features a large and private fenced patio area with a 12x24 heated in-ground pool and a 6-person hot tub with LED lights. There's also plenty of lounge furniture and a gas grill. Our spacious front lawn is the perfect spot for supplied yard games such as cornhole and horseshoes. Guests have plenty of parking in our long driveway that also provides a place to shoot hoops.
Yes. Our carport and driveway can support six (6) vehicles.
The fireplace is for decorative purposes only and isn’t available for guest use. We also don't permit the use of any open-flame devices like fire pits, pizza ovens, candles, tiki torches, etc. due to the risks associated with unpredictable sea breeze, potentially dry conditions, and wood construction. The one exception is the gas grill that we provide, which should be kept at least 10 feet away from any combustible materials.
By county ordinance, beach bonfires aren’t permitted but self-contained portable fire pits with covers are allowed. We don’t keep a firepit at the house, nor do we permit use of any open-flame devices aside from the grill we provide. The combo of unpredictable sea breeze, potentially dry conditions, and wood construction presents too great a risk.
