OCEANFRONT:7 Bed;8 Bath;2 Heated Pools;4 Whirlpools;Spa;Private Walkway to beach

With a private walkway from the oceanfront pool and spa over the dunes and directly onto the beach, this stunning oceanfront home was built as close to the ocean as possible and was custom designed to maximize exceptional ocean views from every room.

Enjoy spectacular sunrises over the ocean, play in the 40’ pool with elevated baby pool and 4’ waterfall, then relax under the stars in the poolside hot tub at your very own “Castle by the Sea”!

The house features 4 master bedroom suites on the oceanfront, 3 additional bedrooms on the west side of the house, and 8 bathrooms including the poolside cabana. New upgrades are added each year, including: Oceanfront hot tub for 7; 65” 4K TV in raised living area; Kitchen tile; New tile, vanities and fixtures in 2 bathrooms; 53” HD TV in Master Bedroom on top level; 40” HD TV in Game Room; Private walkway from oceanfront pool cabana over dunes right onto the beach; Professional quality pool table; Repainted interior, Updated bedroom décor; 6 HDTV's and Blu-ray 5.1 surround sound system.

Arise early for a cup of coffee with family or friends (on the elevated gazebo with built-in seating at the end of the private boardwalk), and share the experience of spectacular sunrises illuminating the ocean waves with purple, pink and red hues.

Spread your towels, your tent and even your playpen (from the house’s baby closet) on the beach at the end of the private walkway for a day of tanning and playing in the roaring ocean waves—all visible from the Raised Living Area, Dining Room, Breakfast Room and Master Bedroom by members of your party who prefer or need to remain inside.

When it’s time to relax in the shade, return to your “Castle” where you can play in the 40' x 20' oceanfront pool with elevated baby pool and 4' waterfall or read on the pool deck, one of 4 other decks or in the library-- private places even with large family groups. You can even request to have the pool heated for an additional fuel fee.

Prepare dinner in the fully-stocked kitchen with excellent ocean views, downdraft grill, oven, 2 Cooktops, Micro-convection oven, 2 Dishwashers, 2 Coffee Makers, 2 Blenders, Food Processor, Crockpot, Pots, Pans and Wet Bar with free-standing icemaker. Then serve the whole family at the dining room table for 10, the Breakfast Room for 6 or the Library for 4.

When the day is done, relax under the stars in the oceanfront, top-of-the-line, therapeutic spa with integrated MP3 Bluetooth 5 speaker system, LED water columns, custom waterfall , exterior LED lighting and jumbo footwell jets.

Before retiring to one of 4 master bedroom suites, sip a glass of wine with friends and family on the upper level decks while admiring the mesmerizing light of the historic Corolla lighthouse that has served as a warning beacon for ships off the Outer Banks for almost 150 years.

Watch your favorite show or movie on the 65” 4K TV with Surround Sound in the Raised Living Area, or play a competitive game on the professional pool table.

For a more tranquil setting, sit in the rockers or glider on the oceanfront decks and let the stresses of the world slip away to the comforting rhythm of the rolling waves. Or, from the decks on the north and west sides of your “Castle” let your mind drift to the tales of the Outer Banks while you observe the warning beacon of the historic Corolla Lighthouse guiding the fishing vessels on their nightly rounds along the coast.

This home is perfect for families. With four master bedrooms that have attached bath, there is no fighting among the grown-up kids for who gets the "best room" and the kids rooms offer plenty of comfortable beds for the grandkids. In addition, there is a living room game room and library type room, so there's no sense of being crowded when you're all together. The dining room offers plenty of seating. The table comfortably sits 12 people and the pool is perfect, especially having an attached kiddy pool. You can get it heated for an extra fee, which we thought was well worth it.

Castle by the Sea

Truly enjoyed our week long stay at Castle by the Sea. Excellent beach front location close to a large public park in Corolla. Walking distance to stores and restaurants made it convenient for everyone in our party. The house was very clean and well equipped with everything necessary to enjoy the beach, pool and summertime fun. The well equipped game room was popular with the teens in our party and the pool and hot tub were great when we were not at the beach. All bedrooms were freshly cleaned and very roomy. The house was very spacious with plenty of room in the family room and dining areas that allowed us all to have meals together. Bikes and beach toys were also provided. I would highly recommended this property for any family looking to enjoy the beach, pool and making a memorable summertime vacation.

Family Beach Trip

We loved our stay at Castle By The Sea! There’s plenty of space for a family, to spread out and enjoy private time as well as family togetherness. The owner is very reachable and attentive to any problems that may arise. The attention to detail at this property is superb with directions on using everything from the remote controls to the coffee maker…which we fully appreciated. The kitchen is labeled for ease in finding and returning things to their proper place. The house is laid out so beautifully for viewing the ocean from everywhere. And the pool…..magnificent. We highly recommend this home in Corolla- Castle by the Sea.

Great house & location for our family of 13

Great house and location for our family of 7 adults, 1 teenager, and 5 children 12 & under. Lots of bedroom and bathroom options, pool, hot tub, game room, large dining table, books, games, and all the amenities. Great ocean views from great decks. The expansive beach really is just over the dune behind the house. Corolla has everything we needed. Some of the commercial activities may be more of a drive away, but we didn't need those things. The house decor is slightly dated, but that had zero impact on our stay. 3 stories, so get ready for some effort by old knees. Great for our family and we would rent that again!

Fun Family Vacation

We had the best week in this Castle by the Sea!! The layout of the house was perfect for a family, with ample cooking space in the kitchen, and tons of room for family meals and games in the dining room area. The bedrooms were all well sized and very comfortable. One of our favorite admiring activities was sitting on the top deck with our coffee watching for dolphins. The pool area was perfect for our group with plenty of space to spread out. It also gets late afternoon shade which was perfect for when we were ready to get out of the sun, but not quite done playing for the day. The beach was just a short walk away, which was perfect for families with little kids who can’t decide where they want to be. Also, after dinner time, the beach was very quiet, leaving plenty of space for afternoon beach games and quiet gatherings to watch the stars. There is plenty to do right near the house if you want to get out with restaurants, putt putt go karts and grocery stores all right within a 10 minute or less drive. If you have littles, this house has so much for them! Indoor and pool toys as well as DVDS. We did have an issue with the one of the AC units, but I only include that to say that the owner was very quick to respond to get someone in for a fix as soon as possible. These things happen, but the response time was very much appreciated. If we make our way back to Corolla, we will definitely be looking at staying here again!

Great beach access. House had a lot of great amenities. Host was responsive and accommodating. We would stay again!

Rental in Corrola

The house was very spacious. It gave everyone their own space if they needed it. Loved that it was on the beach and we had perfect weather the entire week. Lots of activities close by. The house itself could use some sprucing up but we enjoyed our week in Corolla. The biggest drawback is the speed limit on the road to the house. I would recommend the property!

Perfect spot for relaxing

This house has everything you need plus some. The pool was amazing. The sounds of the ocean are literally all through this house. The board walk takes you almost to the water if the sound isn't close enough. Sun rise and coffee was my favorite every morning. The updates on the house are beautiful. What I loved most was the new decking they are upgrading. Not just because the deck was beautiful and the design is magnificent, but the owner himself was doing it. He is a hard working man and what America was founded on, dreams. This home was his wife's favorite, her art still hangs in the house, and the love they have for family shows in every room, detail, and extra amenity they added. Some you won't see listed in the details. I will loved to have my family back again next summer. If you get a chance to stay in the castle by the s sea be sure to decorate a family shell to add to the basket in the library.

Castle has what you need

Great location. Great house layout. All the amenities that you would need. Gameroom with retro arcade fuzzball and pool table was enjoyed by all. Owners have thought of everything for a great vacation. There were a couple issues that did not bother us. Other reviews mention the cleanliness of the house. It is little dated and could use a little work. New kitchen counters being installed apparently which will make the kitchen very nice. Two things that are good to know for future guests. One is that the hot tub is not available except during pool season which is a shame . The other thing is that it is listed as a seven bedroom however 1 of the bedrooms is a small room accessed through the master on top floor. It would work well for small kids but i don t think an adult would enjoy it as there is only a crib and daybed in the room. Overall i think this home is great for a family vacation and the owners are quick to respond to questions

Filthy

If you want a clean house, this is not for you. If you want basic necessities provided such as toilet paper, paper towels, soap, and enough towels for each bathroom, bring your own. If you don’t mind dirty windows and hermetic seals broken, then you’ll be fine. If you don’t mind cobwebs dangling from the light fixtures and ants in the food-stained cushions on the chairs, then go for it. I was shocked upon arrival, and within ten minutes of entry, contacted the owner who really didn’t seem surprised to hear from me. He did send the pool maintenance person and the owner of the house cleaning company the next day. This put us in an awkward position, having to greet these folks who were clearly irritated to have had complaints waged against the house that they are supposed to be maintaining. We had to listen to their stories about how the owner doesn’t pay them enough to do the deep cleaning that is needed for this property. The pool person was especially belligerent saying “I hope your kids enjoy the hell out of the pool!” There were beer bottle caps, cigarette butts, and even a pair of boxer shorts around the perimeter of the pool and he tried to tell us that those things weren’t there the day before. (Strange thing is, he never cleaned up those items even after we pointed them out) The owner defended him saying he is such-and-such in the community. Doesn’t matter…the guy was angry and rude. The entire back side of the house has mold spots on all of the white woodwork – we envisioned sitting out on the decks enjoying the view, but you’d literally have to face outward and not look behind you because you’d see dirty cobwebs and mold on the house. I wish there was a way to post pictures, as I did take several. Upon notifying the owner, he offered an extra night if we didn’t give a bad review. I declined and have decided to tell the truth about this property so that no one else wastes their hard-earned money on a place for their family vacation. This was a once in a lifetime event for us, and I couldn’t have been more disappointed in the house itself. To be fair to the owner, he immediately offered a full refund if we found another place right away. Many other issues, but not enough room here to post. I’m only doing this to spare another family the disappointment we experienced.

OBX Family Vacation

House is a little dated but very spacious with nice ocean views from the top level. The dune is high so the ocean view from the middle level bedrooms are not great views. The house is very close to the beach with some steps but easy access. The beach is very nice and clean. We enjoyed the beach immensely. As stated the house is a little dated but the price paid was fair for the house size and location so our only disappointment cleanliness was our only Our only real disappointment was the cleaning service. The carpet seemed to be okay but the other floors were very dirty. After a few minutes our feet was black from the floor debris. The windows were very dirty with limited visibility. The We had to drive 45 minutes to Walmart to purchase cleaning supplies and mop.

Perfection

The house was just right for our large group with a nicely laid out variety of bedrooms and a large, open floor plan on the top level for socializing and dining together. Decks on bedroom and top level overlooked the pool, hot tub, and ocean, in addition to the decks facing the street. It was easy to have alone time or socialize throughout the week. We barely used the basement at all beyond the second refrigerator, but if there had been bad weather or kids with us the video game setup, pool table, and foosball would have been used. I would recommend spending the extra money to turn on the pool heater for your week; we opted for it partway through the week and really appreciated the extra warmth. The owner and everyone we interacted with such as the pool man and linen service were friendly and quickly responded to our requests. We are already talking about our next trip to Castle by the Sea.

Family Memories

When pulling 4 families from 3 states with 6 little ones under 10; it’s so refreshing to have all the amenities required at your fingertips. Private beach access, pool, hot tub, even a toddler pool - what more can you ask for? Each family had a suite of rooms for privacy too. From crab chasing at night to watching them catch sharks from the shore - what a fabulous vacation. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The house truly is a castle by the sea! The initial veiw of the house is a breath taking blue. It's wide steps welcoming the weary travelor home. From the outside to each inner wall any guest can see a lot of time, thought, and detail went into this palace. Due to traffic I arrived at night after my family who lit the lights. It was gorgeous and so pretty, brightly shining against the dark night sky. I found myself in awe as I climbed the steps and entered the home. I decided to start at the top for the begining of my exploration, so I immediately climbed the stairs to the left of the entrance. Huge windows that gave a perfect view to the ocean greeted me as I reached the last of the steps to be at the highest point. A beautiful deck sat beneath the windows inviting me to get fresh air and to truly appreciate being beside the ocean. The roar of the waves was a welcome note. Inside you could barely hear what was happening outside. All the rooms are beautifully decorated with their own unique design. My whole family was unanimous in is the perfect vacation home. To live there forever would be very pleasant indeed! If I could I definitely would and I would be perfectly happy. This house had so much space and was so quiet between floors and walls that even though we had so many we felt at peace and even alone at times! Our group has multiple families with a total of 8 children from teens to toddlers and we only found each other if we wanted to. Everyone had plenty of room and space to spread out and safely explore without seeming too enclosing to the little ones. The pool was perfect for our mixed aged children, a wading pool for our tiny tots and a larger pool with varying levels of depth. Hot tub was awesome for night time as it got cold out. When inside you would find the kids and teens in Billard hall in the basement either playing pool, foosball or on the arcade 4 player game system. Sometimes in the library upstairs.This castle saw to our every need and the different types of people in our families. Had a fully stocked kitchen with everything you could want/need. The best part is on the walkway to the ocean a large wooden stairwell led us away from the castle to the Sea, however halfway there is a sweet spot where you can look back upon the balconies and beautiful blue home.
