About this home
Welcome to Starboard, a beautifully renovated semi-oceanfront retreat in Corolla's coveted Whalehead Beach community- just three lots to the ocean access and our world-renowned Outer Banks beaches. A reverse floor plan and floor-to-ceiling windows fill the great room natural light and ocean views, while vaulted ceilings and a rooftop deck make the most of the coastal vistas, sunrises, and sunsets. The kitchen was completely reimagined in 2024 with new cabinetry, quartz countertops, and premium Bosch and KitchenAid appliances- an entertainer's dream. The sleek kitchen is open to the great room and dining, so the chef is always part of the gathering, whether it's a casual summer breakfast or delightful dinner party. Enjoy the highest vantage point inside the property in the cozy Ships Watch; imagine coffee accompanied by an oceanside sunrise. The primary suite and its ensuite bath were taken down to the studs and refreshed with a teak vanity, quartz, and a glass walk-in shower. Both the mid-level king and queen baths were fully renovated to match. A brand-new wet bar with granite countertops in the lower-level den, a new 2025 upper level HVAC, fresh exterior paint, and newer roof round out the major updates. A fully detailed list of ALL the updates and renovations are shared in the documents section. With 6 bedrooms and 5.5 baths, a spacious ground-level den, and three full levels of decking plus a screened porch, Starboard is designed for elevated coastal living. Take the party outside for sunset dinners on the deck, salt-air lounging, or a nightcap on the rooftop deck under the stars. Spend afternoons by the private pool and hot tub after a sun-filled day at the beach and gather at the picnic table under the gazebo. Ocean breezes and coastal views at every turn, from the rooftop deck down to the convenient beach access. Starboard is also built for income. Even with the current owners blocking personal-use time and in-season bookings only, two rental companies project $165,000 in annual gross rental income. Just a short bike ride or drive to Historic Corolla Park and Corolla's shops and dining, this coastal retreat strikes the perfect balance of luxury, prime location, thoughtful layout, and rental potential — the perfect place to start making your own OBX memories.
