Overview

Guaranteed to be the hub for a fantastic Outer Banks getaway, The Best of Tides is an 8-bedroom vacation 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. Have no fear, you are sure to be enjoying The Best of Tides during this vacation.

The ground floor is host to a rec room and a theater equipped to entertain those of all ages. The rec room includes a pool table and a sports bar that has counter height seating that looks onto a large mounted Smart TV. The bar area has a mini-fridge, freestanding ice maker, sink, microwave, and ample counter space that allow you and your group to store snacks and drinks of your choice for your time spent down there. This spot also doubles as a convenient location to store food and drinks that you want easily accessible while hanging out poolside.

Speaking of poolside, make your way out to the pool area from the rec room. The outdoor living space has a private pool that can be heated for an additional fee, a hot tub, a cabana bath, two gas grills, and two outdoor showers. Having access to outdoor showers during a beach vacation makes rinsing off and cleaning up a breeze before heading back inside to rest and relax for the evening.

Belinda Pleva grew up serving ice cream out of her parent’s shop. She loved being part of what she calls “a happy business.” “I love it when people come into the shop and you hand them something, and it makes them smile,” Pleva says. “That moment when you hand an ice cream cone over to a little kid and their eyes just light up. That’s what I love about the ice cream business.”

 

In 1994, Pleva opened up her own ice cream and chocolate shop, Big Buck’s Ice Cream, in the brand-new Timbuk II Shopping Center in Corolla. Business was good, but something was missing.

 

“I was never satisfied with the ingredients in the ice creams and chocolates you could purchase back then. I wanted to serve my customers delicious flavors with ingredients they could actually pronounce,” Pleva says.

 

Pleva took a trip to Italy to study the gelaterias. She fell in love with the incredible flavors, and when she returned home to the Outer Banks, she began working tirelessly to perfect the flavors in her own ice cream.

 

Big Buck’s homemade ice cream combined the flavors of the Italian gelaterias and the richness of American ice cream. It quickly became a tourist favorite. After having the same unsatisfactory experience with the readymade chocolates she was selling, she also took a trip to Brussels to learn more about making handmade chocolates. Pleva brought the chocolate-making experience right back with her, and the result was the finest quality of chocolates on the Outer Banks.

 

After her huge success in the Corolla shop, Pleva was able to open up three more shops—one in Kitty Hawk, one in Manteo and one in Duck.
