1600 5 O'Clock Somewhere * Private Pool * Game Rm
Updates for 2023 season: New Stainless Steel Appliances in the Kitchen!
What Would Jimmy Buffett Do? Leave your watch and cell phone behind because It's 5 O'Clock Somewhere! This oceanside Corolla beach home, located in the desired Ocean Sands community, will instantly put you in a state of relaxation thanks to all the amenities and coastal decorations. At just half a mile from the ocean, the nearest access is just an 8-minute walk away when you're ready to hit the beach. If your family doesn't want to haul all that beach gear and prefers to drive, you'll be just 5 minutes away from the Bonito St. Public Beach Access with a parking lot.
The ground level has plenty of parking space for the whole family and room for 1 vehicle to park under the house. Outside, a huge 12'x26' private pool is where you'll spend the day splashing around in the sun. Afterward, take a dip in the bubbly hot tub to relax your muscles. Inside, you can play a round of billiards in the rec room while you watch the big game or listen to music. When it's time to go to sleep, a comfortable Queen Bedroom shares a Full-Sized Hall Bathroom with another bedroom that has 2 Bunk Bed sets.
A split staircase leads up to the front porch on the middle level where you can access the main entrance to the home. For a more laid-back atmosphere, chill out in the charming den featuring an entertainment center and a wet bar that lets you truly vacation “Margaritaville”-style. You'll love taking your beverage out on the covered deck that overlooks the pool to relax in a colorful Adirondack chair. At the end of the day, curl up with your favorite beach novel in the Master King Suite w/ Full Bathroom. Another Full Hall Bathroom featuring a Whirlpool tub and shower combo is shared by a second Bedroom with a Pyramid Bunk w/ Trundle Bed and another Queen Bedroom. A convenient laundry room completes this level.
Upstairs, the top level is a large open-style floorplan featuring a living area, kitchen, and dining area. Lounge on the cozy living room furniture for a movie marathon or grab one of the many board games and puzzles for a family game night around the card table. The nautical-themed kitchen has plenty of counter space and comes stocked with anything you might need to make a tasty family dinner. There is room for 10 at the dining room table or for more space, 4 people can sit at the kitchen bar. A lovely Master King Suite is located on this level and features a Full Bathroom with a Whirlpool tub and separate shower. Whether you prefer to flip through a magazine in the sun, watch the gorgeous colors of the sky during the sunrise or gaze at the stars at night, the top-level sundeck will be your favorite spot to hang out and let your stresses flow away with the ocean breeze.
Better Than Margaritaville Corolla is the perfect getaway… this small beach town allows you to get away from the hustle and bustle of a big city but the local attractions and great restaurants offer plenty to do for the whole family. Conveniently located less than 5 miles away from Historic Corolla, your family will love touring the Whalehead Club and visiting the Currituck Beach Lighthouse. For a real one-of-a-kind experience, take a tour of the 4x4 beach area just north of your home to catch a glimpse of the Corolla Wild Horses. After touring the area, satisfy your hunger with some pork BBQ and ribs at Corolla Village Bar-B-Que or a French Dip and Club Sub at Bacchus Wine & Beer Bistro. If you're craving seafood, try Upside Restaurant & Bar for spiced shrimp, crab cakes, fresh local tuna, and a water view. Stop over-thinking and book your vacation now – after all… It's 5 O'clock Somewhere!
