Formerly known as "Rising Sun".
This lovely Corolla coastal retreat is ready for you to keep on the “Sunnyside of Life” following the adage of the age-old NC bluegrass lyrics! This twelve-bedroom vacation haven is packed with amenities and ideally located just one home back from the oceanfront. Enjoy ocean views and salty breezes throughout your stay. Your entire family and multiple generations will love the comfort and convenience of this semi-oceanfront beach house.
The great room on the third floor was designed for gathering, with an open-concept layout and custom-designed furnishings. Relax in the comfortably furnished living area, featuring a gas fireplace for use during the cooler months of the year. The cooks in your group will love the chef’s well-equipped kitchen and large butler’s pantry, that includes a gas stove, two refrigerators, two dishwashers, double oven, high-end appliances, and plenty of counter space. Unloading groceries and luggage is a breeze using the home’s elevator. Big family meals can be enjoyed together in the dining area featuring a custom-made table to accommodate all of your guests. The musicians in your family will enjoy entertaining you while they tickle the ivories on the home’s piano. Test your cocktail-making skills at the wet bar. Outside on the home’s eastern deck in the early morning, watch the sunrise and enjoy the ocean breeze as you sip your morning coffee. The western screened porch is a great place to hang out at any time of the day, whether you’re enjoying an afternoon beverage or sneaking away with a good book. Back inside, take a conference call, catch up on email in the privacy of the office, or enjoy a book watching the waves lap in from the ship’s watch.
Three master bedrooms are on the third floor, each with a private bathroom. All the bedrooms throughout the house include lovely designer linens and delightfully comfortable mattresses. Each room has a special feature, whether it's a sitting area, or access to the deck. A half bathroom is also conveniently located on the third level.
On the middle level, you’ll find seven master bedrooms, each with a private bathroom and six with access to the deck. For your convenience, one bedroom/bath offers handicap-friendly features. Another bedroom is perfectly designed for the kids with built-in bunks and special features. Take outdoor living to the next level outside on the covered deck, which features two NC traditional OBX style sleeping porches with hanging beds designed to enjoy the ocean to sound breezes. The laundry room is also conveniently located on the middle level and includes two washers and two dryers and a coffee station/beverage fridge for your morning convenience.
The ground floor of the home features a wide variety of entertainment options, a kitchen, and the final two master bedrooms, each with a private bathroom, plus a convenient half bath for poolside use. Have an epic family movie night in the theater room. The rec room includes a pool table and arcade games. Stock the refrigerators in the wet bar to have easy access to cold drinks and snacks throughout your stay with a passthrough bar to enjoy with your evening grills and family dinners on the screened porch by the pool. The kitchenette with wet bar is convenient to the pool area and also includes a dishwasher and an ice machine. We've got your adult vacation workouts covered in this home's personal gym.
Outside, your outdoor oasis awaits. Make a splash in the private pool, which includes a tanning ledge. For those in your group who like to play all day, choose from an outdoor ping pong table or a full, regulation-size pickleball court. After dark, lounge around in the screened porch on the ground level before enjoying a relaxing soak in the hot tub or a refreshing outside shower.
When you’re ready to venture to the beach, take a stroll to the north to reach the Barracuda beach access or to the south to the Herring beach access. Centrally located in the Whalehead neighborhood, this home is within a bike ride or short drive of many shopping, dining, and entertainment options in Corolla. For the electric vehicle drivers in your group, an EV charger is conveniently located right at the home. Make four-season treasured family vacation memories in this lovely new home while you keep on the "Sunnyside of Life” and brighten every day at the Outer Banks!

Guest recommendations
"Liked the location. Liked that it had an outdoor restroom by the pool. Also plenty of room."
Thank you so much! Come back next year and enjoy some of the renovations we have planned for this Fall!
"Nice newer floors throughout the house"
Thank you! That is the first of many renovations we have planned for this year! I hope you come back!
"We liked the neighborhood and the proximity to the beach."
This is one of the things we love about the house too! We love to ride bikes and leave the cars behind for the week. Thanks for your comments and come back; we have a lot of renovations planned for this Fall, including the kitchen, bathrooms and outside improvements.
"Enjoyed our week stay in Carolla. Our rental was in a very quiet area. Really liked the swimming pool after a day on the beach but wished the lounge chairs had cushions on them instead of us using beach towels."
I’ll look into cushions for next year! Thanks.
