Relax with a clear view at “Spyglass” on the Outer Banks! Located on the oceanfront in Corolla, this home’s unique location offers panoramic views of the ocean. In addition to stunning ocean views, this home features views of the Currituck Lighthouse from within the home. The elevated ship’s watch on the top level of the home was specifically designed to take advantage of the exclusive view of both the ocean and the lighthouse. With modern coastal decor and amenities galore, “Spyglass” will surely be the perfect setting for an unforgettable OBX vacation.
The great room on the third floor of the home features large windows on the ocean side, which allows natural light and the ocean view to fill the room. Relax and enjoy time with loved ones in the living area, which features three distinct seating areas and includes a gas fireplace for use during the cooler months. The kitchen is fully equipped with all needed to prepare meals for your entire group, including commercial-style kitchen appliances. Two refrigerators make storing food easy, and two dishwashers help make cleanup a breeze. The focal point of the great room is the custom boat bar that seats at least 8. Enjoy meals all together at the custom dining table with a large lazy susan that can seat up to 20. Additional seating is available at the island in the kitchen. Take your morning coffee and breakfast outside to dine al fresco under the covered patio while watching the waves roll in, rain or shine. There is an uncovered deck with lounge chairs for those that would like to soak up the sunshine. An additional covered reading porch can be found on the south side of the third floor. There are two master bedrooms on the top level, each with a private bathroom. A half bathroom can also be found on the third level.
The middle level of the home is a combination of common space and sleeping quarters. The exercise room features a Peloton bicycle and Peloton treadmill, as well as weights, yoga mats, and medicine balls. The middle level also includes a complete coffee bar, featuring a built-in Miele Espresso Machine, beverage refrigerator, and a commercial filtered water bottle filler. There are five master bedrooms on the second floor, each with a private bathroom. Laundry facilities can be found on the second level. The deck on the middle floor leads to the dune cabana, which has a lounge area.
The ground floor of the home was designed with fun in mind, inside and out. Take gaming to an epic level in the theatre room with XBOX. Play all evening in the rec room that features an arcade game and poker table, as well as a fully equipped bar that also opens to the pool area. A full cabana bathroom connects to the interior entertainment area of the home as well as the pool area outside. The fun continues outside in the pool area, which includes a ping pong table, and covered cabana area with a waterfall feature to keep cool while supervising all of the action in the pool.
An additional two master bedrooms can be found on each level of the guest house. Each master bedroom includes a private bathroom.

Guest recommendations
"Twiddy was very easy to work with. Check in was super easy and earlier than expected. The house was better than we expected. We had 26 family members for an entire week, but never felt like we were in each others way. Having our own bathrooms made it so nice. This house was super sound proof - I never heard another toilet flush all week. The views were spectacular. We had perfect weather, never rained a drop and got hotter and hotter as the week progressed. But probably our favorite was the pool area and all the great toys, boogie boards, extra beach chairs (at least 12), pickleball paddles, football, bocce ball, etc. Also 4 really nice bikes which was such a bonus as we wanted to bring our bikes but didn't want to haul them that far. Besides everything advertised there was so much more provided. The entire family said we would definitely rent again. A few items to be aware: 1) House is right beside the public beach entrance, so a few more people than we would have hoped 2) The cabana service was nice, but some days came late and was not able to provide a good spot for us. Also, he sets the chairs under the umbrellas instead of spreading them out so other families were very close. I do wish he would have set them up and spread out so we had more room on the beach. 3) If someone is running on the Peleton treadmill, the entire house shakes. We cooked most meals at home, had plenty of space for cooking and refrigerating enough food/beer for the week. Nice cookware, tons of plates and all sorts of items in the kitchen. Extra refrigerators throughout the house were wonderful. We rented a keg but didn't pick up when we realized the kegerator is for a 1/4 keg, not big enough for a 1/2 keg."
Good Afternoon and thank you for the detailed review! We have been visiting Whalehead for 25 years and when we designed Spyglass we wanted to make sure that we provided the things that we valued most. Over the years we've gone to the beach with big family or friend groups. Dinner is a special time for everyone to come together and for this reason we commissioned a custom black walnut table where the entire group could see and talk to each other (vs. kids or sub groups being stuck at the end of a long table). The dining area with the large northern windows is also one of the few spots in the OBX where everyone from dinner has a clear view of the Lighthouse. We love how it turned out, especially the 4' diameter lazy Susan. That said, we 100% agree that we need some foldable tables. Two have been ordered! The treadmill is indeed an issue when there is someone running fast. By code the home is built on pilings and even though they go extra deep, the treadmill should have been located on the concrete slap on the 1st floor. We are going to find a better spot for the treadmill and install an elliptical in it's place (we do not get any vibration from the peloton bicycle). We appreciate you pointing out the quietness of the rooms. Between each interior wall is a product called "rock wool". While expensive, the idea was that this combined with the special audio system would provide a magical escape: Concert hall quality music while watching a storm and lighting over the ocean (the off season can be magical)! The Kegerator supports a 1/2 Keg (what most people think of as a full keg). Not sure what the issue may have been but we will follow up with the vendor. Glad you liked the "beach closet". Thank you again!
"I was very impressed with being met by an ambassador to review features of house. The gift bag with wine from the owner AND totally blown away by pie delivery. Our family had an amazing time— family members of all ages were able to use different features to really make the stay great."
"Everything in the house was great. The appointments were selected with great thought."
"Spyglass is an oasis on the OBX. Our family has been vacationing together at the OBX for a few years and this exceeded our expectations, from the beautiful look out room down to the pool area and everything in between"
"The views were spectacular! Each suite had amazing views and most had balconies; the kitchen was equipped with everything you could imagine with high end appliances! Direct beach access and PLENTY of room for everyone. We had 18 adult guests and everyone is looking forward to returning to Spyglass! To top it all off, Twiddy’s service was exceptional!! Checking on us throughout our stay and making sure every need was met…absolutely top notch. We are looking forward to another trip soon! Thank you for helping to make my husband’s 60th memorable! Cheryll"
"The location and house's decor are fabulous. And Twiddy was great to work with."
"Just returned from Spyglass and LOVED, LOVED, LOVED this home! From the moment we walked in it was WOW! Everything upscale, yet the décor was so cozy! Each bedroom was a beautiful suite with spectacular bathrooms! Amazing kitchen with all upscale appliances! Pool was fantastic. Owner's put much attention to detail in every room making sure everyone's needs were tended to - from the beach to the pool, the exercise room which was used daily to just lounging on their upscale furniture. The outdoor games and ping pong brought the family together every night for friendly competition! Highly recommend this home!!"
"The home was absolutely beautiful and had everything we needed for a memorable vacation. Simply wonderful!"
Thank you for the review; it makes us very happy to hear that you enjoyed the home. We have been coming to Whalehead for over 20 years. In our mind, Lighthouse Drive is truly the best that the OBX has to offer and the top cover lot is the best in Whalehead! We're all temporary custodians of our little slices of paradise so we are very appreciative of the time looking at the Ocean. We have a new pre-arrival manual that indicates the various beach games that we supply. Along these lines, we appreciate having things in place vs. packing the car! So in addition to the beach Cabana service (daily setup of 6 chairs and some umbrellas) we are now supplying 16 Tommy Bahama Chairs, 4 high-quality boogie boards, and extra umbrellas. Depending on the wind direction, there are either very few or many bugs. We power wash several times a season but will pay closer attention to this as we appreciate the time spent outside!
"I thought we'd stayed in great OBX houses before, including even more expensive rentals, but Spyglass was the best yet. The attention to architectural and construction detail and to providing "all the comforts" was just fine. The house was designed to give the guests the best imaginable appliances, cabinetry, furniture, and of course the views. . And since it was built only 2 years ago, everything was in perfect shape."
John-Really appreciate your comments and enjoyed the home as much as our family does. We've been in Whalehead for 13 years now and waited a long time to find that special lot. Hopefully you can visit again and you'll enjoy some new upgrades that we've planned (things we could not get during covid)! Thank you.
"The house was amazing and we enjoyed spending time around the giant table/family room. The rooms were all pretty comparable/comfortable. The views are incredible from so many vantage points. The kitchen could probably be stocked a little better with supplies."
"Decor was beautiful!! Loved everything about it, including the movie theatre & beautiful outdoor deck areas!!"
"Wonderful house!"
"Beautifully decorated. Plenty of bedrooms."
Glad that you enjoyed your stay.
"Great location, wonderful amenities and beautiful design of home."
Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback.
"The house, location, and the service that Twiddy provided for our vacation was amazing! I wish we could rent Spyglass the same week every single year!"
We're glad you you enjoyed your stay and appreciate the unique location with those spectacular views. Getting everything in place through the pandemic was challenging...for this next season some of the final touches will be in place including the "Spyglass". It's a beautiful tripod mounted WWII 30:1 telescope for dolphin and boat watching!
"Immaculate home with everything you want and need in a beachfront property. The owners did a fantastic job designing this place and furnishing it. 10 out of 10."
