CASA BLANCA Oceanfront in Corolla

The ground floor, or the "fun floor," holds one of Casa Blanca's best amenities, according to the young travelers (and the young at heart). Your private sports bar, nicknamed "Rick's Cafe," features Mediterranean-inspired mosaic tile and a 10-foot wet bar, including a dishwasher, 50-pound icemaker, refrigerator, and sink. Set up an in-house tournament, take your pick from the games for some non-competitive fun, and turn up some sing-along classics on the stereo system. Let the competitive spirit thrive with the professional-grade Olhausen pool table, Bonzini foosball table, Pinball Machine, and Ms. Pacman/Galaga arcade game (quarters are required for Ms. PacMan/Galaga and Pinball). Rather watch the big game than play one? This room has several flatscreen TVs so that nobody will miss their team of choice.

So the kids don't need to go far to play, the ground level also features a massive children's suite, which holds three double bunks, a TV with a DVD player, and an assortment of board games, toys, and books. There are also three private suites, each with private bathrooms, TVs, and king-size beds.

Outside, Casa Blanca's expansive pool deck and cozy cabana await. The pool can be heated, ensuring that taking a dip is an option no matter the weather, and the pool deck contains chaise lounge chairs and a bubbling, 8-person Barefoot Spa hot tub. Next to the pool, the cabana features bar and table seating, ceiling fans, a bathroom, two outdoor showers, and a wet bar with a sink, icemaker, TV, and refrigerator. As we like to say, poolside cocktails are always a good idea! When tummies start rumbling, fire up the grill and dig into some burgers or dogs al fresco with spectacular views of the Atlantic. Head out to the ocean, which is just yards away and easily accessible via your private boardwalk. Bring a special someone or the whole group out to relax on the private dune deck at the end of the boardwalk and toast the end of another day in paradise. As the sun sets, take the stairs up to the cabana's rooftop and hop in the 7-person Sojourn hot tub, where the sky's spectacular colors are best admired and the ocean views are unobstructed.
