The Half Shell, Oceanside Beach Cottage, 6 min walk to beach

Welcome to The Half Shell! We look forward to having you stay with us! This classic Corolla beach cottage offers 3 bedrooms/2bathrooms. The house is located in Ocean Sands (Section L) on a quiet cul-de-sac and is an easy 6-7 minute walk to the wide, flat, beaches of Corolla. The beach has lifeguards from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Avoid the traffic with flexible check-in/check-out days and a 4-night minimum stay during peak season!

Enjoy all that Corolla has to offer during your stay! The Half Shell is located 1 mile south of Monterey Plaza (Food Lion, Lighthouse Bagels, Philly Steak Subs, Agave Roja, Big Buck's Ice Cream, Whalehead Brewery) and Tim Buck II (Seaside Farm Market, La Dolce Vita, Doppio). Harris Teeter and Duck Donuts are located 2 miles south. Historic Corolla and the Currituck Beach Lighthouse are located 4 miles to the north. Corolla's 4x4 beaches are 5 miles to the north. Corolla Greenway bike and pedestrian path is located at the entrance of the neighborhood.

The utility room (including washing machine and dryer) is underneath the house on the ground level. This space is not connected to the main living area of the house and is only accessible from the outside. There is a keypad on the door to the utility room; the code will be provided on check-in.

An outdoor shower is located on the ground level adjacent to the utility room. Enjoy the convenience of the dispenser of shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in the outdoor shower! There are hooks in the outdoor shower for hanging up towels and clothes. There is a hose behind the outdoor shower for rinsing off your feet and beach gear when you return from the beach! There is also a clothes line for hanging your wet items.

From the ground level/carport area, there are stairs on both the front and back of the house. The front steps lead to a deck overlooking the cul-de-sac and front door which opens to the family room. The rear steps lead to a covered deck with seating (off of the great room) and a screened porch with picnic table (off of the kitchen). Cafe lights are available to plug in on both the covered deck and screened porch.

The first floor features a family room, dining area, breakfast bar, kitchen, bedroom with queen bed, and bathroom with a shower (with doors to the bedroom and family room).

The TV in the family room is equipped with a Roku Smart TV. Roku Smart TV will allow you to view live channels. Guests are able to login to their own account(s) for streaming services (i.e. YouTubeTV, Netflix, etc.).

The kitchen is equipped with standard appliances including a refrigerator, stove, and dishwasher. It is fully-stocked for preparing and eating meals at the house. We have a Bonavita coffee maker and electric burr grinder. We also have a single cup Keurig. Other appliances include a toaster and air fryer. There is a pantry cabinet for storing your groceries.

The second floor is open to the first floor with a family room, two bedrooms, and a bathroom. There is a Roku Smart TV in the second floor family room. There is a Peloton (with 3 lb free weights) for guests to use with the guest's personal login; shoes are not provided. The second floor family room is the perfect place for lounging and opens to the rear deck.

The queen bedroom (on the west side of the house) opens to a private deck off the front of the house and a jack and jill bathroom. The twin bedroom (on the east side of the house) opens to a deck which spans the entire back of the house.

All of the bedrooms have memory foam mattresses. Bed linens will be provided and beds will be made upon your arrival. Please note, bath and beach towels are NOT provided and guests will need to bring their own.

Our family had the best stay for a long weekend at this property. You can’t ask for more when it comes to great hosts - communication, every detail of the description is spot-on, and absolutely zero issues. They even give you a nice welcome bag. As parents, we appreciated the clean house and well-stocked kitchen/appliances, and the very comfortable beds. The kids loved the decks and porches, private outside shower, and quick walk to the beach. We even got the kids to play the boardgames - extra treat! The property is also very conveniently located near 2 grocery stores. Definitely worth another stay!

We just returned from a lovely stay at this home. It is very clean and well-appointed with an updated kitchen and furnishings. The home is well-designed - the master bedroom and bath upstairs and 3 bedrooms and bath downstairs allowed 3 generations of our family to sleep comfortably and still have privacy and some personal space when we wanted. It is very tech-savvy as well - with flat-screen TVs in various rooms and great wi-fi- it kept the teenagers happy and let the grown-ups check in with work as needed. The kitchen was great - super clean with all of the small appliances (coffee-maker, toaster oven, toaster, mixer, etc) and pots and pans we needed to cook Thanksgiving dinner! Hair dryers in each bathroom were a nice surprise, and being within walking distance to groceries and shops was a bonus. The beach and dunes are beautiful here and Will and Lindsay were kind and thoughtful hosts - checking that we arrived safely and had what we needed, and making our family (dog included) feel welcome. We loved it and will definitely visit again. Thank you for a great vacation!

We stayed for a week. The owner was very nice and easily accessible via text and always very prompt! The location to be beach was amazing. I think it was a little tight for our family (6 of us) but we had an amazing week.

Bottom line, we had a great time at White Whale Cottage! 4.5 stars! Despite the hiccup on the day of arrival with the cleaning company, once we took care of that, we were set for what was the best vacation we'd had in a long time. The outdoor shower was amazing, and the living area offered plenty of room for the five of us and our dog. The house was very close to the beach, so for 6 days we basically woke up, ate bagels from Lighthouse Bagels, went to the beach and then went back to the house, or into town, for dinner. If I had any critical commentary, it would be that the mattress in the MBR was a bit uncomfortable, but that's probably because we are used to sleeping on a king-sized bed. So, like I said, we had a fantastic time and thank you for allowing us to use your place!

First time to the outer banks did not disappoint. Short walk to the beach made my barefoot for the week goal easy! Already looking to make a return next summer! Also our dog, Larry, found his Zen.

For our 3 generational family vacation of 7, this property was perfect! Just about a block from the beach, a couple of houses from the tennis courts, 2 blocks to the walking/bike paths and maybe a 1/2 mile to Harris Teeter/Pizza/Ice Cream, (and seriously what else do you need at the beach!). Not a large kitchen, but very usable, and plenty of dishes, pans, etc. We used the outdoor shower daily and ate dinner out on the deck most nights. The upstairs deck catches a nice breeze in the evenings. The bike path goes all the way up to shopping at Tim Buck ll so we did that a number of times. All in all, a great place!

Nice to spend time with our adult kids all together - house was nice - a little small for everyone upstairs, but we managed! Swinging and eating on the deck was perfect. Only issue is a/c not able to cool upstairs and it got very hot but we used the fans!

We really enjoyed our stay at the White Whale cottage. Location of the house is amazing, very close to the beach. Overall the house was well kept and clean. The kitchen was stocked with basic dishes you would need for a week. We were 6 people in the house with a dog and were comfortable in the house.

This is my second time staying at the White Whale Cottage. It is such a comfortable and cozy home. I would recommend this home to anyone that is looking for a peaceful vacation, ladies getaway or relaxing retreat. The views of the ocean from the top floor are wonderful. I enjoy spending time on the decks, the porch swing and in the cozy comforts of the home itself. I am already excited for my next stay at the White Whale next year! The countdown is on!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at White Whale Cottage. It was beautifully and thoughtfully furnished, with clear emphasis by Lindsay and Will on providing a relaxing and convenient getaway. The cottage was welcoming, clean and comfortable, and included amenities from the well-stocked kitchen to entertainment options ranging from multiple tv's and games to dozens of "beach reads." The location was quiet and relaxing, just the right mix of privacy (no close cottages behind or on either side) with a community atmosphere, yet convenient to nearby commercial areas. The beach is easily accessible with an informative and knowledgeable lifequard. This cottage provided flexibility for us and our extended family, including two dogs, with the beach and jogging/bike path, and the breezy decks with porch swing and hammock for my beach reading. Will and Lindsay provided a much more personal and attentive rental experience than we have received from any commercial beach rental agency. Will promptly and graciously addressed our questions during the rental process and remained available for communication throughout. They provided a very thorough information packet including distances to amenities, plus recommended nearby eateries, that we found to be time-saving and convenient, since we had not stayed in this area before. The cottage has many steps and a few older features but is overall updated and reflects their many personal touches. We have stayed in several Outer Banks cottages and enjoyed this one the most. We can easily recommend White Whale age to others and would definitely return.

The house is very spacious and nicely decorated! It's only steps away from the beach and from the upper deck you can see the ocean. The kitchen has everything you need and you can choose where you want to eat, it's all very comfortable and cosy. Unfortunately we had a lot of rain during our stay but the tv, dvd-player and games in the house kept us occupied and as soon as the sun was back we would run to the beautiful beach! We can highly recommend this house!

Loved this location. Very short walk to uncrowded beach with lifeguard. House was clean, tastefully decorated and comfortable. Kitchen very well stocked. Dog kennel helpful, as well. Shopping very close by.

I know everything feels better at the beach, but we absolutely loved this vacation home! We have been to the Outer Banks two other times, and although we enjoyed our stay, the places we stayed at do not offer even half of what this place does. Comfortable bedrooms and bathrooms, seating outside (the hammock was our favorite), and all the kitchen supplies you could think of, from plates to pots and pans, to paper towels, dish soap, laundry soap, hand soap! Also a short walk to the beach, tennis courts right by the property and supermarket right there. Beach access is private so eventhough we were there during the 4th of July week, it was not crowded at all. Property owner was super friendly and professional. Definitely will stay again!

We had a great stay at the beach. There was plenty of room for our family of 5 with each of our kids having a bedroom to themselves. The outdoor space was great - a picnic table for eating and chairs on the top deck to watch the stars. The hammock on the middle deck was great for relaxing. The house was two blocks from a very private, non-crowded beach. It was easy to come and go from the property to the beach and if you were sick of the beach, lots to do in town from mini-golfing to go-karting to shopping to dining. The kitchen was fully stocked with whatever utensil or pan you could need for cooking while there and the grill outside was great for grilling. It was also great to have an outdoor shower to leave the sand outside and not have it trekked inside. It was a really pleasant stay and we can't wait to get back there next summer!

Perfect get-away for me & my husband, with our dog. The layout of the home was a perfect set up. It was very cozy, comfortable, and clean with nice furnishings. We cooked almost every night, and the kitchen was fully stocked with every pot, utensil, and appliance we needed. The deck was a lovely spot to drink our morning coffee and enjoy an evening cocktail. And the hammock was a perfect relaxing reading spot. The house was very conveniently located for a short walk to the beach, 1/2 block to the tennis court, and less than 1/2 mile to the grocery store. We enjoyed the new GreenWay for jogging and biking. And, the owners were very helpful with questions and always accessible. We definitely would recommend this house to anyone looking for a relaxing time away.

My family was very favorably impressed with the house. The description, pictures and location are spot on. We arrived just after check-in time (Sunday traffic is better than Saturday, but there was still a slow down going through Duck) and the house was ready (including made up beds), for us to unload our stuff and head to the beach for a couple of hours. The kitchen is well stocked with cook ware and dishes, the decks on both levels are very nice and the cable and wifi had no problems handling the needs of 3 teenagers to be connected for the few hours we weren't at the beach or exploring. Our small dog had plenty of room in the shaded kennel under the house, and I would say it is big enough for any size dog. The beach is as close as described - less than 5 minutes to walk from the house to the staircase over the dunes. We appreciated the lifeguard stand right there as there were a number of days of great waves for boogie boarding (and even had a few hours over the week with surfers catching waves further out). The dog loved chasing sand crabs in the evening as the sun was setting. Will is a very proactive owner, responding to all communications/questions promptly while we were navigating the renting and pre-arrival processes, and also reaching out to be sure that everything is okay during our stay. We didn't have any issues while there. The nearby shopping center with the Harris Teeter, is just a 10-15 minute walk - though we mostly drove there and to the other commercial areas in Corolla and Duck. The Duck Boardwalk on the sound is only a 15 -20 minute drive and a nice place to watch the sunset. There were 5 of us and I would recommend this house to anyone looking for a place in Corolla.
