A Sound Retreat | Private Pool, Hot Tub | 2,400 ft to the beach
Enjoy this refreshed “Sound Retreat” with your family at the top-rated resort in North Carolina for many years! It's just under 300 feet by community sidewalk to get to the sound front walkway that runs all the way through Corolla Light up to Whalehead Club and the Currituck Lighthouse. Cozy and fresh interiors welcome you into a family retreat that offers plenty of smart tvs for streaming, movies, and games. You will enjoy hours of meals and games on the large, screened porch. Plenty of deck space to unwind and relax and the back deck even has a nice sound water view between houses and the trees in a natural setting.
If you are adventurous and love the outdoors this is the spot! Corolla light has a lifeguarded beach and easy access from the main oceanfront complex with a large pool, a smaller trainer pool surrounded by food, beverages, and seating. Miles of multi-use paths along highway trail or on the sound where a public natural surface softer public path meanders between the oaks with a water view. The sound front pool is a quiet respite from the busy oceanfront and has a kiddie pool and sound view. Sports? You name it, we have it! You can bike, run or walk for miles. There are multiple tennis courts, outdoor with lights and indoor, a playground, a large sports complex for weights, cardio, and indoor tennis. Check on the link below for the full list of amenities available! Local historical sites and plenty of natural beauty await you at “Sound Retreat”. Don't forget to check out a wild horse tour!

Sound Retreat Review
Property was ok but not quite as sharp as the pictures illustrated.
Our friend group goes on a couple of girl's trips a year to help us stay close and we've stayed in OBX a few times since it's fairly central for our group to all come in.In general, we like the house and have even stayed in it previously, though we may not choose to again.There was some "end of the season" wear and tear. Pesky things like the pod style coffee maker didn't work, but the drip coffee maker did, so that certainly wasn't an issue.I would prefer if we were warned if maintenance was going to be showing up on the property in the middle of our stay for nonemergency work. I understand things happen on a schedule, so I won't complain about it simply happening, but the communication wasn't poor.
