Exactly What We Needed

This vacation home was exactly what we needed. We had four families with 8 adults and 8 children, yet the house never felt crowded. The kids loved the movie room at night and checking out the horses from the decks. The pool area was perfect for the late afternoon. It is walking distance to the drive on beach. The owners had numerous beach chairs, boogie boards, and pool floats available. The kitchen was stocked with everything you could need. There was plenty of room to park. The charcoal grills outside were nice and clean. The bathrooms were sizable. Nothing but compliments from our crew!

Amazing location

My family of 17 had the best time! The house is in the best location, so exciting to have the wild horses walk right past the yard while we were swimming. Driving on the 4x4 beach is so much fun! The house is clean, communication with owners is amazing and prompt. A very relaxing vacation that was needed by all. We will be back again!

From NH

We had an amazing time in Corolla. The house was perfect, plenty of room and fun things to do. The horses walked right thru the yard, we were able to see them everyday. The kids could walk back and forth to the beach, and we loved driving over and setting up under a canopy for the day. Can’t wait to go back.

beach trip

The weather could have been better but that is out of our control. The only thing we were disappointed about was the swimming pool at the house was so cold, we couldn't use it. We thought is would have been heated.

About the host

Hosted by Tom

Hello and thanks for taking a look at our home! We have over 20 year’s experience choosing the Outer Banks for our personal annual vacation retreat. We often arrived with a group of friends and a herd of kids, or our extended family for a reunion. It was and is always a vacation to remember. Over the years, we have compiled some of our favorite attractions and tips; as our (busy) guests, we will pass on our experience to save you so much planning time. What to bring, what is already at the house, where to go and what to do as well as what is not to miss while you are visiting Currituck County, NC.
It truly is steps over the dune to the waves any time of the day or evening… do you know about our ghost crabs? Great fun for kids with a flashlight! Does it seem like there is never enough time to sit down and play a board game anymore? We are more than ready for that vacation moment with the 20+ games and puzzles to entertain young and old alike. We also have a large paperback library for relaxing by the pool or sitting with your toes in the sand.

We know your stay at our beach house will be one you will want to repeat time and again. One week never seems like enough time, so take advantage of our discount offered for booking two consecutive weeks! We fell in love with Corolla over 20 years ago and now that the kids are grown and out of the house, those are memories and photographs that are absolutely priceless.
Feel free to call or e-mail with any questions or concerns you may have. Book today and you’ll have your upcoming Carolina vacation on your mind!
Thank you,
Tom and Andrea,
Collin and Shelly

Why they chose this property

We are owners of this property since September 2015 and have made many updates: 9 new reclining leather seats for the theater room as well as upgraded surround sound, new flooring on all 3 levels, new paint on the walls, new thermostats and HVAC system for 1st and 2nd floors, tons of beachy decor and general updates all around. The close proximity to the beach is really something you will want. Spoil yourself!

What makes this property unique

You will not regret choosing the Outer Banks as a secluded vacation spot for your family and friends! The beaches are gorgeous; renting Utopia just steps from the waves is sure to become an annual tradition. While the four wheel drive beach does require a 4x4 vehicle, you will find the privacy and relaxed pace is the perfect spot to recharge your soul.
Are you a coffee loving, early morning sunrise beachcomber or a sunset deck enthusiast with a nice glass of wine in hand? Either way, you will be unbelievably surprised here in the wide spaces of Swan Beach with all the vacation amenities you’d expect and then some. We are located on one of the wild horses’ favorite grazing path so you should have some nice photo opportunities. (Be sure to honor our equine pals by keeping at least 50 feet away and allowing them to forage for their own natural diet of wild grasses and plants.)
