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.

Pool: Pool heated by heat pump. Ambient air temperature of 60 degrees or higher is needed to heat the pool, meaning that if the temperature drops below 60 degrees the pump will not continue to heat. Max pool temperature is 80 degrees.

EV Charger: An EV charger is available for free for guest use.

TVs: The theater room and the great room both have Smart TVs with streaming capability and Spectrum cable access via cable boxes; the rest of the home's TVs are Roku TVs with streaming capability and cable access via the Spectrum app. Guests use their own accounts to log into streaming services. No login is necessary for cable access.

Map of Ground Floor

Ground Floor

  • Rec room with pool table and sports bar
  • Theater
  • Bedroom with two pyramid bunks and private bath
  • Laundry

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. Bedding on the ground floor includes a bedroom with two custom built-in pyramid bunks and a private bathroom. Access to the laundry facilities is on this level. A universal EV charger is available for guest use in the carport.

This home is amazing! Absolutely perfect in every way. And the pool was incredible! We will definitely be working with Carolina Designs again. Text communication was perfect! We have been vacationing in the OBX for 25 years and have never used Carolina Designs. Think we found our new go-to! Thx Carolina Designs!
