Experience the grandeur of “Taj Mahal” on the Outer Banks oceanfront! Luxurious, upgraded finishes, and fresh contemporary decor create a spa-like setting sure to leave you feeling relaxed and refreshed. Delight in breathtaking views of the Atlantic. Take advantage of the convenient location in Corolla’s Whalehead Community. Experience the incredible package of indoor and outdoor amenities at your fingertips at this well-appointed home. Every need and desire of vacationing families has been considered in the construction and design, leaving you and your guests to enjoy your vacation to the full extent.
Cool off in the large 16’x45’ swimming pool or lounge in the shade of the poolside cabana with water feature. Climb to the cabana’s rooftop deck to enjoy a prime location for sunbathing. Even on rare rainy days, children and adults will find themselves spending time outdoors thanks to an under-home play area with ping pong and foosball. Spacious decks and porches surround the home on all levels, creating comfortable spaces to take in ocean breezes or enjoy drinks and meals al fresco. A private beach walkway leads you effortlessly from your doorstep to the beautiful sandy beaches for shelling or a dip in the ocean.
Step inside and let the private elevator carry you and your belongings to the top floor of the main home. Here, you’ll be greeted by spacious and open common areas including the living, dining and kitchen. Take in views of the Atlantic in one of two comfortable seating areas, which offer enough space for the group to spread out while still enjoying each others company. The large gourmet kitchen ensures preparing meals for a large party is anything but a chore. Two islands leave plenty of counter space for meal prep and also provide seating for family to gather for pre-dinner conversation. Dine as a group at the custom table surrounded by stunning ocean views. The third floor is completed by the first of eight master bedrooms with a private attached bath.
The mid-level of the main home is made up primarily of sleeping quarters. Six master bedrooms with attached baths provide their guests with comfort and privacy. In the morning, early risers can visit the mid-level coffee bar to grab a cup of joe to enjoy on the deck while watching the sky light up at sunrise. On the first level, the rec room is undoubtedly the highlight. Gather for a night of friendly competition on the 7-foot billiards table. Grab a snack or beverage from the wet bar and have a seat at the drink rail to wait for your next shot. Guests of any age will find entertainment in the various arcade games. Lastly, you’ll find a master bedroom with private bath and two bedrooms with a full hall bath.
As an added bonus, the guest house offers additional sleeping arrangements, perfect for the heads of the household or a family with young children. The top floor offers a family suite with two bedrooms and a shared bath. With easy access from the main house, the mid-level invites all guests to watch their favorite movie in the theater room.
Inside and out, this spectacular home was designed to deliver an Outer Banks vacation you’ll never forget. Experience life in luxury on the Corolla oceanfront at “Taj Mahal”!

Guest recommendations
"the house itself was great--elevator, open floor plan in public area--dune top gazebo and pool--all fabulous!"
"This house is absolutely beautiful. The view of the ocean makes you never want to leave the living room. There are balconies all the way around the house so you can catch every bit of the sunset and sunrise. The beds are comfortable and spacious, giving you and your party plenty of space to spread out. We got the pool heated for the week and it was SO worth it. Everyone was playing outside, in the pool, beach, and hot tub, having the time of our lives. We cannot wait to return. Twiddy's service was amazing as always and any time we needed anything, they were extremely responsive."
"The pool and the view were among the top things. In addition, the house was nicely stocked"
"Beautiful views, ample space for my adult children and their children. Fully stocked with everything you will Need. Beds were very comfortable. Pool was beautiful and kept cleaned by a service. We had 9 children under the age of 12. Plenty of room for separation and togetherness. They loved the game room. Only negative was the house wasn’t that clean on arrival but Twiddy quickly sent a second round of cleaners through and they did a great job."
"Great location, quiet stretch of beach. Views from the home are stunning and space for all 26 of us without feeling crowded."
"Taj Mahal was absolutely beautiful! So well equipped. Interior was so clean and modern. We’ve already booked it again for next year."
"This is our 3rd year in this beautiful and spacious beach front home. Accommodating to our very large party yet has a cozy home feel. We really appreciated the mid week pool cleaning as well as trash cans being takin to the curb for us. The game room a wonderful private space for the kids to enjoy. The 3rd floor set up is accommodating to large group. Well functioning controllable A/C on all levels of home."

"Beautiful and spacious"
"This house exceeded our expectations in beauty and amenities! We would absolutely stay in this house again if and when we return to OBX."
"The third floor view of the ocean is breathtaking. My family and I felt that every piece of furniture, from the window bench to the couches, were very comfortable. We had seven families staying together and never felt crowded."
"The home is decorared beautifully, so spacious and of course the setting is gorgeous!!"
"The location and view were wonderful. The house was comfortable for our family."
"A beautiful home with an amazing view of the ocean. Love the detached portion of the house--great for a family with young ones. I've been coming to the beach once or twice a year for a long time, and this is one of the top 2 houses I've rented."
"It was great that it was so close to the beach!!"
"Very spacious. Lots of places to gather. Bedroom and bathroom sizes were perfect. Twiddy was there when we arrived and gave us a little tour."

"Close to beach."
"The Taj Mahal is a one of a kind spectacular beachfront home that our large family and friend group enjoying sharing year after year. The layout to the house is simply grand and the views are unbeatable. Nearly private beach space with minimal outside traffic.

"Everything"
"Great views. The Grandkids loved the separate building."
"The outdoor entertainment areas and furniture were well cared for and clean."

"Great space for large gatherings. We had 25 and the house was perfect"
"The rooms, the"
"Big beautiful home! Enjoyed it with family and friend for the week. Pool and hot tub were excellent and the oceanfront location made the beach super easy to access. Our family goes every year and this was by far the best house we’ve ever stayed at."
"The house was perfect for our 4 families. It was well stocked, great pool and beach. The game room and pool table were a big hit for non water activities. The view from the kitchen/great room was breathtaking."
"Set up was perfect for a large group with 3 generations of needs."
"The bedroom configuration was optimal for our family."
"Floor layout is great for our large group of 25"
"The home was better than advertised. Beautiful house can't think of an amenity that wasn't there. We had 19 people from 2-2yr olds to 2-71yr olds celebrating their 50th anniversary. The house never felt uncomfortable or crowded. The fit & finishes for such a large home were outstanding!! We are so happy that we chose this home."
"For a large house with a lot of bedrooms- this feels like a home. We have stayed at several larger houses and many feel like a small hotel- this feels like a home. The layout is great. The top floor is great for accommodating a lot of people but you can still have different areas to gather."
"We love the Taj Mahal! It was a beautiful home, and our family of 21 fit with room to spare! We had a couple minor issues that were taken care of very quickly, and we were impressed with how nice and helpful everyone was! Also, the welcome gifts were awesome! (and sweet!) We appreciated them! The house was well stocked. We wished we had more towels but found out this is the norm in Outer Banks - many homes do not supply any towels or even bed sheets, so that's the way it is. But the home could not be nicer! And, we loved the location. We hope to be back. Our family rated it our best family vacation ever! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!"
"Absolutely gorgeous, clean, spectacularly located and outfitted home that was just perfect for our off-season family vacation. We cannot wait to return!"
"Modern build and location"
"Our second stay in this lovely home was just as wonderful as the first. Lots of space for everyone in this top of the line home!!"
"What an amazing house. We've been coming to OBX for a decade and have stayed at a handful of houses. Taj Mahal is one of our favorites. The layout was great. Pool, play room all was great. Only thing we are sad about is the removal of the 52 week hold. Now it seems we will not be able to book again. SMH to repeat customers."
"This is a gorgeous home with a great location. We have stayed here two years with the third year already reserved. Twiddy is very responsive with any issues. Our only complaint is that a couple of the King sized mattresses are too soft and lumpy. A couple of us ended up with back aches from the beds."
"Very beautiful home. All amenities are spectacular and the views...I can not say enough about the views. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to booking again. For those who are looking for a place to accommodate a large family, we had 20 adults 6 children, this is the house for you. The elevator was very nice for family members with limited mobility. Plenty of space for relaxation and not be cramped. The floor plan was very well thought out and nicely decorated. Spacious rooms and spacious bathrooms. The open floor plan of the 3rd floor was amazing!! One flaw was the garbage pick up. The bins were full on arrival so our added bags made more overflow until garbage day. However arrangements were made by Twiddy to make sure everything made it to the street in time for collection. Thank you for a FANTABULOUS stay!!!"
"Taj Mahal was absolutely beautiful! Every room was perfect and the outdoor space was equally as great. It was a great space for a large group and the view was amazing! I think the only downfall was no garbage disposal which is very difficult when large groups are eating together."
