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. There is an outdoor shower on the ground level next to the utility room. From the ground level, 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 (off of the kitchen). Cafe lights are available to plug in on both the covered deck and screened porch. The 1st floor features a family room, dining area, breakfast bar, kitchen, bedroom with queen bed, and bathroom with a shower. The 2nd floor is open to the 1st floor with a family room, 2 bedrooms, and a bathroom. 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. The 2nd floor family room is the perfect place for lounging and opens to the rear deck. All mattresses are memory foam.
New flooring will be installed on the 1st floor/main living area in the next few weeks. We will update pictures as renovations are completed and new furnishings are added.
Bed linens will be provided and beds will be made upon arrival! Please note, if you choose to use the upstairs family room sleeper sofa, you must bring your own linens for that bed. Dogs are welcome with a pet fee! Similar to most beach accesses in Corolla, please note that there are several steps to cross over the high dunes to the beach.
