Welcome to Blue Retreat, 860 Corolla Drive—a well-maintained and thoughtfully updated 8-bedroom, 7.5-bath coastal retreat offering approximately 3,656 square feet of comfortable, income-producing living just moments from the beach. Built in 2020 and designed with both lifestyle and performance in mind, this property delivers a seamless blend of modern construction, curated upgrades, and turnkey ownership in the heart of Corolla’s sought-after Whalehead Club community.
From arrival, the home makes a lasting impression. Extensive landscaping, stone accents, and ambient lighting create a warm, elevated presence, while the reimagined private heated pool area serves as a true outdoor oasis—complete with updated furnishings, new equipment, and enhanced surroundings designed for both relaxation and guest appeal.
Inside, the home opens to a bright, spacious layout anchored by an open-concept great room with updated lighting and ceiling fans, creating an inviting space for gathering. The kitchen is well-equipped for hosting at scale, featuring dual appliances, a full suite of cookware and small appliances, and seamless flow into adjacent dining and living areas—ideal for entertaining large groups with ease. A screened porch extends the living space, offering a comfortable setting for shaded dining and overflow hosting along with the oceanside deck.
The lower level is built for entertainment, featuring a fully outfitted game room with pool table, arcade game, TV lounge, and kitchenette—providing a dedicated space for guests to unwind and enhancing overall rental desirability.
Each of the eight bedrooms is designed for comfort and durability, complemented by refreshed bedding, updated finishes, and thoughtful touches throughout. Additional improvements—including fresh paint, updated appliances, and key mechanical upgrades—further reinforce the home’s move-in-ready, hands-off appeal.
Outdoor living extends beyond the pool with multiple gathering areas, a grilling space, THREE outdoor showers, and a newly enhanced dog run with turf, lighting, and dedicated access—an uncommon feature that adds meaningful value for pet-friendly stays.
Located just steps from direct community beach access, Blue Retreat offers effortless connection to the shoreline, while also being conveniently close to Corolla’s dining, shopping, and iconic attractions—including the Currituck Beach Lighthouse, historic Corolla Village, and the renowned 4x4 beaches where wild horses roam.
Turnkey and intentionally designed for a hands-off ownership experience, 860 Corolla Drive presents a compelling opportunity to capture immediate summer income while securing long-term value in one of the Outer Banks’ most desirable coastal communities.
