Welcome to your family’s perfect Corolla escape—a modern coastal classic home tucked into a safe community full of activities for families of all ages. Everything you’ll need is just steps—or a free tram ride—away. You’ll be steps from the Sound and a short trolley ride or walk to the beach. And pets deserve a vacation, too.

You’ll be among our first guests in this newly renovated home, which is so fresh and clean! You’ll love our serene, light-drenched aesthetic, with high-end décor and finishes. The renovations include updated furniture, new flooring and brand new mattresses and bedding. We asked ourselves, “Does this make us feel relaxed? Is this comfortable?” for every decorating decision, and our guests benefit from the restful details we thoughtfully curated. 
The reverse floorplan highlights relaxing Sound views from the top-floor living space and multiple decks. And with 2 primary king bedrooms, including a private top-level primary suite, and thoughtfully arranged mid-level bedrooms for everyone else, it’s an ideal layout for multigenerational getaways.
