The Space:

Whale with My Soul was made for the trips that take months to plan. Three-generation family vacations, milestone birthdays, reunion weeks — this home handles it all without anyone feeling squeezed. Nine bedrooms across multiple levels, a top-floor king suite with ocean vistas, a bunk room floor for the kids, and a lower-level setup that functions as a completely separate hangout space with its own living room, wet bar, and Keurig.



The outdoor space is where this home really earns its keep. The private pool and cabana bar, with its bar stools, is the center of gravity for the group. Add a hot tub, a full sand volleyball court, a basketball hoop, a propane grille, and a roof deck with unobstructed ocean vistas, and there's genuinely no reason to leave. Beach chairs, a wagon, and beach toys are supplied in the closet — no need to bring your own.



The beach is a 3-min. walk via Albacore access. Perfectly located between the beach and a grocery store, with eateries, stores, and family-friendly attractions a short drive away. Whalehead Brewery and Big Bucks Ice Cream are just a short walk!



And yes — Whale with My Soul is now pet-friendly. Up to 2 dogs welcome, $250 per pet, per week fee



What our guests are saying about Whale With My Soul:



"Our 3-generation, 18-member family vacation week was ideal. The home had ample room to be together, as well as spaces for peaceful alone time. The volleyball court, pool table, hot tub, and pool were appreciated by all. 809 Whalehead Drive far exceeded expectations for our OBX vacation week." ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️



"We had a family of 19 and every last guest had somewhere to sleep. The home looked exactly like the picture. The host was very nice and responded very quickly!" ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️



"The home was even better than the photos! The hosts were very fast with responding (within 10 mins.), and every luxury was as promised." ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️



"Our family and friends LOVED this home. It's ideally located between the beach and a grocery store. The pool area was marvelous, and we adored that the entire home could conveniently access the back decks to enter the pool." ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
