Welcome to Corolla!

The Turning Tide is just steps away from beach access which makes it’s location so unique! Just minutes from local Corolla shopping and restaurants, it’s also nearby the Currituck Club golf course, and miles of highway-adjacent trails for walking, running, and biking. The most unique feature about our home is that it sits just north of open dunes and natural vegetation that provides both breathtaking views and more privacy in our backyard and decks than almost all rental homes nearby (as pictured).
