It s a restored mansion from the glory days of the great hunt camps of the gilded age. Tours are given daily. Right next door, the Currituck Beach Lighthouse is also open for tours. There s a lighthouse, keeper s cottage and a bit of the old Corolla village.
Call me about day trips that can keep you busy all week. We even have pontoon boat sound trips, a great half day Wine Tasting trip on a pontoon boat that takes you to Knotts, across the sound.
If you re in the mood for a beach drive, the Virginia border is a 14-mile jaunt North. Drive carefully the beach is visited by sea turtles, seals resting on their migration, etc. Dolphin sightings are common whale sightings are much less common.
You will know when you ve made it to the border. We can t get a straight answer as to why, but the border is fenced, and crossing is forbidden! Some kind of dispute between NC and VA? As recently as the 80s, a portable casino plied its trade right here. When the Feds came up the beach on a raid, the locals would hitch up their tractors and drag their rec. hall to the safe side. Those were the days.
Also available for rent. The availability calendar is at

Just another perfect day at SUNNYBANK
Oceanfront 3 acre Estate Compound
Hey Look! The Tide s going out. Time to go beachcombing. Which brings up the big decision of the day When I hit the beach...Right or Left?
If I go North, it is a mile of mansions, then a mile of wildlife refuges. Same to the South. Life is good when the big decision of the day doesn t matter.
Shelling is fantastic everywhere but between milepost 14 & 15 the kids usually find the most sand dollars. Between milepost 15 & 16 one of the Corolla wild horse herds usually stroll by & umber up onto the deserted dunes to graze. A migrating sea lion was taking a rest on our beach a few days ago. Viewing these beautiful wild creatures in person is like a present from God that never ceases to take ones breath away.
In front of us the dolphins are chasing a large school of fish and playfully jumping up through the water. Last month I was lucky enough to see a whale go by! Look the pelicans are playing follow the leader again! How can those little sandpipers legs move so fast?
After a hard day at the beach swimming, surfing, playing and building sand castles some of us meander back to Sunnybank for a refreshing dip in our large salt water pool.
Because we are one of the few beaches that you can drive right onto the younger adults stay behind to Empty the beer cooler load up all the kayaks, surf & boogie boards and beach chairs that come with Sunnybank.
Dinner is going to be something very special. No waiting in line, no loud restaurant chatter, putting up with cranky tired children, (mine or anyone else s for that matter), no worries about traffic, how to get there or who will have to be the designated driver coming home. We re already there! My husband was smart enough to hire Chef Wes and Cindy owners of the Red Sky Caf to serve us and our guests a gourmet meal so we can all relax sooner and be served in style. (My husband s reward will come later.)
What a fantastic evening and dinner. Agreeing this was the best 4 course meal that we have ever had anywhere in the world my guests gave Wes and his staff a long standing ovation. We were all pampered, served with elegance and best of all when Wes left my kitchen was cleaner then when he arrived.
What more could anyone ask for you may wonder! How about no streetlight so you can spend the rest of the evening relaxing outside with cold drinks and gazing into more stars than you have ever seen in your life. Finally with everyone peacefully tired we head to our various bedroom suites to be lulled to sleep by the sounds of the ocean. The magnificent Sunset that mesmerized us earlier this evening has inspired all of us to meet early for coffee down in our oceanfront gazebo. We hope to witness what promises to be a glorious sunrise and the beginning of another marvelous vacation day at SUNNYBANK.
