Corolla Lightkeeper's Home

“Ottavia” is an exquisite 8-bedroom, 8-bath coastal retreat in Corolla that effortlessly combines modern comfort with classic seaside charm. Named after the Nuova Ottavia, a ship that wrecked just offshore in 1876, the home pays homage to the area’s rich maritime history through its name and nautical style. Perched steps from the sand, it offers sweeping ocean views and a direct line of sight to the iconic Currituck Beach Lighthouse from its decks. The top-level great room features beamed ceilings, sun-drenched windows, and a cozy brick-accented fireplace, while the oceanview kitchen and dining area make entertaining effortless. The screened porch and wraparound decks provide ideal spaces to soak in sea breezes and lighthouse. Each bedroom offers a private sanctuary, many with ensuite baths and deck access, while the ground-floor rec room, resort-style pool, tanning ledge, and outdoor bar ensure fun and relaxation for all. “Ottavia” blends luxury, history, and local character—where every sunrise, sunset, and lighthouse view becomes part of your lasting memories.
