Gorgeous oceanside retreat with an elevator in Corolla NC!

How to spend your vacation at Carolina State of Mind:

Watch the sunrise over breakfast from one of the large rear decks. Stroll out the back gate and a few steps to the beach or stay home and enjoy the private pool area complete with a new hot tub and tiki bar. Play a game of volleyball, badminton, or bocce on the lawn, or make one of the upper decks your own box seat to watch a friendly tennis match on the community court adjacent to your backyard. On the front porches, take a late-day siesta, watch a round of HORSE at the driveway basketball hoop, or catch a spectacular sunset. If you must catch up on a little work online or want to shop or keep up with the friends and family, the internet is high speed (up to 100-140 Mbps) and reliable with strong WiFi signal throughout the entire property.

At night, enjoy a relaxing swim in the multi-colored lighted pool, make s’mores around the backyard fire pit, challenge the kids to a Foosball tournament or shoot some pool. Need a soundtrack? Feel free to stream your playlist throughout the house, back decks, pool, hot tub and tiki bar. If your energy levels are a little low from a day at the gorgeous Corolla beaches or the championship golf course, just relax with your favorite book or snag the remote to one of the 11 flat screen TVs featuring 290 Dish TV channels as well as HBO, Cinemax, Showtime, and Starz. Every TV is attached to a DVR and parental controls are easy to program so the kids lay claim to the media room or rec room while the grown-ups play cards or catch up on life on the upper level. This house truly has something for ages 1-100!

Household amenities include an outdoor shower and ½ bath conveniently accessible directly from the pool deck, yard and gate to the beach walk. There are full sized refrigerators in the tiki bar, the lower game room and the kitchen, as well as two dedicated beverage refrigerators on the main level and a third in the media room. In addition to the ice from the refrigerator freezers, there is a dedicated ice maker in the media room bar and two dishwashers.

The well-appointed kitchen has everything you need for your family meals. There’s counter seating for 5, a large dining table that generously seats 8 and an additional table that seats 4. A laundry room with 2 washers and 2 dryers lets you pack less and return home without dirty laundry.

Carolina State of Mind is over 5,400 square feet and has over 2,500 square feet of decks and porches. It is located adjacent to the southern beach access for Currituck County and is the only house on this dead-end street! In fact, when you turn onto Yaupon from Route 12, you will be confronted with a sign that prohibits vehicles. The only traffic allowed on Yaupon are guests staying at Carolina State of Mind and trolleys from the Currituck Club bringing guests to the beach access. A stockade fence and hedgerow make it very private yet is in the very epicenter of all that Corolla has to offer. When you return home from your vacation and tell your friends and coworkers that you were basically alone in a secluded oasis, they will just shake their heads and assume you got too much sun…you will just smile and start counting the weeks down to next year’s trip.

Bed and bath linens and bed-making are provided.

The private pool is approximately 13x29 and may be heated for $500/week.

This property is pet-friendly. There is an additional charge for guests bringing pets, which will be added and collected after booking. Pet fees range from $161-231 depending on the property, and will be assessed state and local taxes.

For 2026, this home will include credit for $315 in beach gear rentals from our partners at VayK Life. Stay between April 3rd and October 18th, 2026 (tentative dates, 7-night minimum), and use your beach gear credit for items such as bikes, beach chairs, umbrellas, paddleboards, and more!

All three bedrooms have direct access to the pool deck and are equipped with pool door safety alarms.
