What the Shell | Oceanfront | Private Pool, Hot Tub, Community Pool

Time to enjoy the best of Corolla! “What the Shell” is an adorable oceanfront house with a private pool, hot tub, and a great rec room to keep the kids happy! Three master bedrooms give the adults the privacy they need. The kids will love the pool table, ping pong table, and basketball goal! This house was meant for your family to spend time together playing and bonding on your week at the beach. Tastefully decorated and appointed, you will feel at home as soon as you step in the door.

“What the Shell” is in Crown Point, offering tennis courts and a community pool if the teens want to gather outside. You can even walk to restaurants and shop in the Tim Buck II shopping center. The kids will love watching the turtles in the canals on Crown Point Drive on the way in and out. Bring bikes because the multi-use path is there for jogging and biking. The historic Corolla Lighthouse and Whalehead Club are just minutes away by car. The 4-wheel drive area is also just a few miles north for adventurous folk with 4-wheel drive vehicles. Take the opportunity to hop on a Wild Horse Tour bus and leave the driving to the pros! You will make memories for a lifetime at this amazing vacation destination.
