Although I'd never rented a big house before with this level of amenities, The Black Pearl convinced me it's worth it to pay more because you get so much more. I organized a weeklong event for a group of 12 women, all strangers, and the house gave us plenty of public gathering space while offering privacy at the same time. The two dishwashers, the elevator, the ensuite bathrooms in each bedroom -- this is a house designed for comfort and convenience, not so posh that you feel like you're in a museum, but comfortable and generously appointed with cookware, dishes, appliances, and silverware. The group loved it so much we agreed to come back next year only halfway into the week. This is a fantastic home in an unbeatable location, and I look forward to returning year after year. - Linda 4/27/2019

The Black Pearl was perfect for our family reunion! Everyone having their own bedroom with their own bathroom made a big difference in our stay. The house was big enough that if someone wanted to get away from the "party", they could. The rooms with the trundle beds worked out well for the families with small children. We all felt that this house was in the best location. Loved the view from the crow's nest...actually all the decks. Having Food Lion within walking distance was fantastic. We ate in every meal. The pool area was wonderful. The Black Pearl beat my expectations!! - Kathy 6/9/2018

Beach Warning Flags
During dangerous surf conditions, red "No Swimming" flags fly at beach entrances. Whenever red flags are flying, swimming is prohibited. At such times, ocean conditions have been determined to be unsafe and swimmers are at serious risk of injury or death if they enter the water. For your safety, please heed all red flag warnings.
Ocean Safety
Rip Currents
Rip currents are fast-moving currents of water that can quickly pull even the strongest swimmers away from the shore. Since the current flows under water, it’s important to know the signs of a rip current and avoid the water in that area.
According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), indicators of rip currents include:
Be sure to read lifeguard stand signs when arriving at the beach. If you see warning signs of rip currents or moderate or high hazard flags, stay out of the water and alert others to do the same. If caught in a rip current, you should stay calm to conserve energy. Don’t try to fight the current. Instead, swim with the current, and swim toward shore once you’re out of the current.
General Beach Safety
The fun begins where the road ends on this unique stretch of Outer Banks shoreline just south of the Virginia border. A four-wheel drive vehicle and an adventurous spirit are required to explore this beach community, where there are no paved roads, no hotels or restaurants, not even a convenience store! What you’ll find is an uncomplicated, fourteen-mile expanse of wide, sandy beaches, dense maritime forests and marshy soundside coves.
Home to the Corolla wild horses, the possibility of catching a glimpse of these extraordinary creatures is practically commonplace. Keep in mind, they are wild - do not approach them. County ordinance states that you may not come within 50 feet of the horses at any time. Feeding, riding or petting a wild horse is prohibited. A wild horse sighting is always an exciting event, but please remember to use caution and keep your distance.
There are no fixed lifeguard stands on the 4x4 beaches. Three roving lifeguards patrol from the end of the road to the Virginia state line from 9:30 am to 5:30 pm from Memorial Day through Labor Day.
Corolla’s pristine beaches are wide with soft sand. Upon crossing the beach access over the dune line to the beach, you will find that the beach is relatively flat, which is ideal terrain for afternoon strolls.
Bringing your dog to Corolla? Beaches are pet-friendly year-round. Leashes are required, but there are no length requirements.
