About This Home

1089 Lighthouse Drive

Set along the Atlantic in the heart of desirable Whalehead, this classic oceanfront cottage offers a rare opportunity in one of Corolla’s most sought-after communities. With approximately 100 feet of direct ocean frontage, the setting alone speaks volumes—wide views, the sound of the surf, and the timeless appeal that first drew families to this stretch of coast generations ago. The home itself is one of the originals, a true throwback to an earlier era of Corolla living. It stands as a reminder of how this community began, when simplicity, location, and connection to the ocean mattered most. The cedar-lined walls and brick fireplace will take you back! Where this property truly shines is in its large oceanfront lot. The generous footprint opens the door to endless possibilities for the next chapter—ample space to design a custom oceanfront retreat that takes full advantage of the views, the frontage, and the prestigious Whalehead location. Whether envisioning a grand coastal estate or a thoughtfully designed modern beach home, this site provides the canvas to build something truly special. Opportunities like this are becoming increasingly rare. A legacy oceanfront setting, substantial frontage, and room to create a future classic—this is Corolla oceanfront at its very best.
