Overview
Guaranteed to be the hub for a fantastic Outer Banks getaway, The Best of Tides is an 8-bedroom vacation home located in the popular Whalehead community in Corolla. Only one street over from the oceanfront, you are a short distance (231 yards to be exact!) from a community beach access that lands you out on the vast stretch of beach that makes up the beauty of Corolla. Stroll the shoreline looking for treasures from the sea, take a seat in the sand and watch the sun come up over the horizon, or experience the stunning shades of pink and purple that paint the sky while the sun sets to the west each evening. For those who would prefer to relax back at the house, The Best of Tides has a private pool (with the option to be heated for an additional fee) perfect for floating, and a bubbling hot tub perfect for soaking. With six king bedrooms, a bunk room, a twins bedroom, seven full baths, two half baths, and an elevator to carry luggage and beach gear between levels, this Corolla vacation rental is designed to keep a big group comfortable. Corolla is also home to the Currituck Beach Lighthouse, the historic Whalehead Club at Currituck Heritage Park, guided tours in search of the wild horses, and shopping and dining at nearby centers like Monteray Plaza, TimBuck II, and Corolla Light Town Center. Have no fear, you are sure to be enjoying The Best of Tides during this vacation.
