Get ready for an “Oceanfront OBX” vacation in Corolla! Enjoy panoramic ocean views throughout your stay at this oceanfront retreat. Featuring fun amenities, both inside and out, your family will love making memories together at this beach house.
As you stroll along the private walkway to the beach, stop and take a dip in the refreshing private pool, which is perched in the dune between the home and the beach. The hot tub is also in the pool area, allowing you to enjoy a relaxing soak while listening to the waves lap the shore nearby. Further along on the beach walkway, you’ll find a spacious dune deck gazebo, perfect for taking a break at any time of the day. Sip your morning coffee while watching the sunrise over the ocean, or relax in the shade and watch the pelicans fly by in the afternoon.
Inside the home on the third floor, you’ll find one master bedroom, which includes a private bathroom. There are three additional bedrooms and one full bathroom on the top level. On the second floor, you’ll find two more master bedrooms, each with a private bathroom, and an additional bedroom. The final master bedroom, which includes a private bathroom, can be found on the ground floor. An additional full bathroom is also available on the ground floor of the home.
The great room on the second floor was designed for gathering. Kick back and relax in hte comfortably furnished living area and watch TV or simply gaze out the windows at the waves rolling in. A gas fireplace is available for use during the cooler months of the year. If you get thirsty, a wet bar with a beverage refrigerator is nearby. The spacious kitchen is equipped with all that you need to prepare big family meals throughout your stay. There are two dining tables near the kitchen, both with ocean views. From the dining area, there is access to the deck and the walkway to the pool, hot tub, gazebo, and beach.
On the ground floor, you’ll find the garage rec room, which includes a pool table, ping pong, and foosball. In addition, there is a TV area for those in your group who just want to chill. Laundry facilities are also available on the ground floor of the home.
When you’re ready to venture out, Corolla Village and Historic Corolla Park, including the Currituck Beach Lighthouse, are within biking distance or a short drive. Shopping, dining, and entertainment options in Corolla are within a few minutes drive. Have fun making “Oceanfront OBX” vacation memories at this Outer Banks retreat!

Guest recommendations
"Gazebo, beach view, comfortable furniture, well equipped kitchen. The music and reading library are exceptional!"
"Covered oven gazebo and ocean side pool and views"
"Our family loves the home's easy access to the beach and the gazebo."
"We love the gazebo! The house worked great for our family! Hope it stays around to rent next year."
"Fantastic Location!! Be in the thick of it to watch all the activities on the beach with the Gazebo but it’s still quiet and private. Perfect for people who can’t sit in the sun all day!"
"Location"
"Location was great. The kitchen was the best equipped in any rental we have ever been to! Loved the house and had a great week."
"We loved: proximity to the beach, the beach-side cabana, the spaciousness, the gates that kept our puppy from leaving the deck, outdoor shower and general layout of the house."
"Location"
"The gazebo on the dune is our favorite feature of the house!"
"Beautiful home with amazing views! Short private walkway to the beach with a covered gazebo! Gates on all decks for kids/pets to stay contained. Master bedroom and bathroom on main level is insane. New hot tub this year! Second year staying here and we love love love this house!"
"The location on the beach is outstanding, beautiful view, easy access to the beach (30-second walk), a wooden walkway to the Gazebo, and a great friendly neighborhood. Huge Master bedroom and bath on the main floor. We had 6 adults and 3 younger ones staying, no problem with having plenty of space. The house is starting to show its age, the outside should be touched up with new paint, newer outdoor cushions for a large outdoor sofa on the front porch, but your dog is welcomed on vacation too. We liked the extra full-size refrigerator in the garage for beverage storage. One thing I'd recommend would be "renting bikes and beach chairs" from one of the local rental companies. They will deliver and pick up your order, consider reserving (2 weeks ahead of time). They rent out quickly! This was our 2nd year in a row renting The Gardner House. We may go for a 3rd, not yet committed. Corolla is a very nice area on the OBX, can't wait for the completion of the new Corolla Bridge, I heard it's approved and soon will start construction."
"This house was perfect for our family! We loved the gazebo, and the fact that the decks are all gated. Helped a lot with little kids and the dog! There isn’t a crock pot, so I’ll have to remember to bring mine next year. Master bathrooms are pretty amazing. However the upstairs bathroom wasn’t great. Definitely needs an upgraded tub! Awesome kitchen! The views of the ocean were spectacular! Pool was great. I loved how we could see the beach from the pool deck. Hot tub was on the smaller side. The laundry was in a weird spot, but I try not to do too much while on vacation anyways. Wish the deck was bigger with more furniture, but we made it work! Can’t wait to come back!"
"We have been here twice and love the location,house, pool and the gazebo leading to the beach....we had a great week. Looking forward to next year!"
"What a wonderful visit during Covid 19 summer, even the hurricane went inland, so it never ruined our vacation. Our family of 9 (6 adults, 2 teens, and an 18 month child) found The Gardner House very comfortable, plenty of space for all of us and great location. The private walkway to the beach with a gazebo worked out perfect (30 second walk). Having a private pool was refreshing. We liked the idea of the water spray areas to wash the sand off our feet so very little got in the house. The two deck areas, one in front (perfect shady morning/ sunset view) and back ( ocean/sunrise views) were great coffee areas. The "wild horses" even came down to visit the front area of our home when we were packing to leave (7 total). Not sure how the horses got out, but they were escorted back up the beach to the 4x4 area. Corolla Light is a nice and well kept area. Food Lion is only 4 mile away, plus restaurants, pizza places, ice cream businesses, and even a Beer Garden are minutes away. The traffic was minimal, maybe because of the Fri - Fri rental days. Yes, the drive up to Corolla takes about a 1/2 hour longer than kill devil or Southern Shores, but that's not bad because of light traffic on Friday. We have reserved next year already, by the way, hope covid is not a problem."
"Beautiful oceanfront location."
