Come July, you can relax for a week on the North Carolina outer banks, in a tree-shaded, quiet house that’s an easy three-block walk from Corolla’s lovely beach. Fully furnished and equipped, with second- and third-floor decks, hammocks, and a hot tub—not to mention two bicycles and two kayaks—this 5 bedroom, 4.5 bath house will graciously accommodate eleven happy vacationers. If you prefer fresh-water swimming, you’ll find two life-guarded pools, one right on the beach. Had enough sun? Relax at the on-beach shelter. Don’t want to miss your workouts? Visit the clubhouse—where you’ll also find tennis courts. Other diversions include wild ponies at the Park Reserve; a variety of restaurants in nearby Duck; free music, wine-tasting, 4th of July festivities and a neat museum (www.whaleheadclub.org); and much more (www.corollaguide.com).
