Corolla, NC Outer Banks Rental Homes

Corolla, pronounced 'cor-Aah-lah', is a charming community that is home to the Wild Horses that draw travelers from around the world. Descendents of Spanish Mustangs, these ponies have occupied the Island for over 400 years. They can be seen running along the beach, grazing for grass, or just enjoying a beautiful Corolla day exploring the dunes and in some places, they explore right up to your doorstep! They used to be able to roam the entire Island, but with the area population rapidly rising they are now kept within a sanctioned area that keeps them safe and still lets tourists visit them. However, there are some Corolla vacation rental homes within that area, a secluded oceanfront region that can only be accessed with a four wheel drive vehicle.

The Corolla area is primarily made up of vacationers, and has become one of the Outer Bank's most popular areas. It is more common to find a rental home in Corolla than an Outer Banks condo rental; condos are relatively rare on the Outer Banks until further south. Corolla beach house rentals are beautifully located for enjoying the ocean, but also offer lots of activities to do during the day. Jet skiing, surf lessons, kayak tours, fishing charters, hiking, and of course, tours to see the wild horses are all readily available. There is also shopping that is easy to get to and open long hours, ensuring that you don't have to adhere to anyone's schedule but your own. Spas and other forms of pampering are prevalent and accommodating. For anyone seeking ultimate R&R, a Corolla Outer Banks rental is a great choice.

In the heart of Corolla sits the Whalehead Club and the Currituck Lighthouse complex. The Club, originally built for the pleasure of millionaires who enjoyed hunting in the area, is now open for touring as a museum. During the summertime, the Currituck Lighthouse is available for climbing. Year round, visitors can enjoy the educational restored lightkeeper's residence and information about the lighthouse itself. The climb is not for the faint of heart, as the lighthouse is 180 feet tall, and climbers must traverse narrow wrought iron stairs. The view at the top makes it all worthwhile. You can see over all the Corolla vacation home rentals to the pristine beach on one side, and the beautiful sound on the other. If you pick your Corolla vacation rental carefully, you might actually be able to see the sun rise over the ocean and set over the sound. Additionally, you could also choose a rental that is located just on the sound. Although these houses don't see the beautiful waves of the oceanfront residences, they are just as large and well-appointed for a fraction of the price. On the sound or on the ocean, the large size of a Corolla Outer Banks rental makes it a great choice for family reunions or corporate events. No matter what your particular needs, anyone looking for a relaxing beach vacation with lots of fun activities and friendly locals would be wise to choose Corolla.
