This beautifully updated six bedroom, four and a half bathroom beach cottage in Whalehead offers a beautiful and well-designed living space—perfect for weekend escapes or year-round coastal living. Ideally located just minutes from Corolla’s beaches, restaurants, shops, and local attractions, the home combines modern updates with relaxed beach charm for a truly turnkey retreat. The reverse floor plan places the main living, dining, and a nicely updated kitchen on the top level, creating a bright, open space ideal for entertaining. The kitchen features newer countertops, appliances, lighting, and flooring, while an electric fireplace adds a cozy touch to the great room. Smart TVs throughout the home along with an outdoor sound system ensure easy entertainment for all. Recent upgrades include LVP flooring throughout, new carpet in select areas, fresh furnishings in common spaces, new mattresses, and a new washer and dryer. The entire interior has been repainted in soft coastal hues, and fire and CO2 detectors have been updated to current safety codes. Outdoor amenities are just as impressive. Set on a professionally landscaped half-acre lot, the property features pool with a new liner and cover, a volleyball court, basketball hoop, extensive decking, and a new gas grill (arriving May)—perfect for summer cookouts and family fun. A standout feature of this property is the oversized, private garage with a secure, locked storage area. This is a major asset for homeowners, offering easy access and secure space for beach gear, bikes, small vehicles, tools, bulk supplies for rentals, and more. Whether you're a full-time resident, second-home owner, or investor, this storage flexibility adds real value. With space to comfortably accommodate up to 12 guests, this home is an excellent option as a strong rental performer or a cherished second home.
