Important Guest Information
-
616 Tern Arch, Corolla, North Carolina
(Ocean Sands Community, Section H)
-
In Corolla, we have large protective dunes that separate the beach from the homes. Unlike many towns and cities, Corolla does not have “public beach access” with parking lots for non-locals. The beach access paths are for owners and guests of the homes in each community.
Our home is about a driveway or so away from the nearest beach access point on the Tern Arch cul-de-sac in Ocean Sands Section H. There is a long wooden crossover path, with stairs leading over the dunes and down to the beach.
Our home is fortunately SO close to the beach compared to other homes nearby, it’s so convenient! It’s perfect for anyone who loves the versatility of a beach day, pool day or a mix of both.
-
Both the Pool and Jacuzzi are located in a fenced and gated pool area just next to the driveway. The Jacuzzi is maintained and heated year-round. Our pool season varies each year, but we generally open the pool in April and close it for the season in October. We offer optional pool heat in the spring/fall and pool AC in summer. The pool is either heated or cooled down to 85 degrees F. Prices are below:
POOL HEAT: $350/week if booked ahead; $75/day for shorter length stays
*Heat is recommended April, May, June, September and October
POOL AC: $250/week if booked ahead *recommended in July and August
Please let us know if you would like to add optional pool heat or pool AC to your booking!

Our home is pet friendly. Our pet fee includes 1-2 dogs. If you have additional fur-friends you’d like to bring, please reach out to us either on Airbnb or via email so we know how to best accommodate you and your group! If you plan to bring more than two dogs, we will charge $150/dog for each additional dog up to 4. We will charge additional fees for any unmentioned dogs, excessive stains or damage to our home.
-
Travel/Trip Insurance - IT IS NOT INCLUDED in your booking and we do not offer refunds within 60 days of your stay. PLEASE consider purchasing it if you need flexibility! Renting during prime summer season is a huge investment you have made to take a vacation, we always want you covered.
FYI, you can usually buy travel insurance up to the day before you leave on the trip — sometimes up to the minute before you leave. But it’s better to buy it within 15 days of your initial trip payment/deposit. You’ll have more coverage options if you buy within a certain window.
