The BARNacle - Corolla, Ocean Sands, 5 Min. Walk to Beach, Pool, Hot Tub, Pets OK, Flex Stays

Looking for a pet-friendly Corolla vacation rental? Look no further than The BARNacle! This custom built and impeccably maintained oceanside vacation home, located in the popular Ocean Sands community of Corolla on a quiet cul-de-sac, boasts views of the Atlantic Ocean and is a short walk to the beach on a nearby sandy path. North and East open spaces provide privacy.

The upper level offers a spacious great room with tons of natural light, beautiful ocean views, built-in shelving, and ample seating for relaxing with family and friends (please note - fireplace not for guest use). The well stocked kitchen highlights a desirable layout with a pantry, island, dining seating for thirteen, and access to the screened porch that leads to the rooftop deck to experience spectacular sunrises and sunsets!

OBX Beach House

Nice place, lots of privacy for family members, short walk to beach, convenient shopping with good prices. The only thing disappointing was kitchen cutlery and pots/pans. With kids you are always making chicken nuggets and fast food type items so the kitchen could use an air fryer!
