Mother Ocean welcomes you to the sweet Outer Banks after the never ending tribute to Father Time! “Ruggles” is the crème de la crème of Oceanfront living harmonized with superb views, a private boarded walkway and direct beach access. Feel like royalty with expanded sun decks, inviting hammock and bubbling hot tub to remedy tense muscles and everyday stresses.

Further melt away stress with the boost of cathedral ceilings, skylights, the tender ambiance of a stone fireplace and upstairs loft with extensive reading library. The material pleasures of a fully stocked kitchen, custom counters and master bath welcome each day and give you the vacation you have deserved and expect!

Keep a sharp eye out to snap that candid shot of your neighbors, the wild roaming Spanish Mustangs of Corolla while combing the beach looking for that perfect shell to add to the collection. Historical attractions will astonish the whole family such as the Corolla Lighthouse and Whalehead Club while evenings come alive with exceptional cuisine, live music each night at local venues and sun lit strolls along the surf.

We've stayed at this home more than a few times now. It is beautiful home on the beach for a small group. Perfect for parents or grandparents with children and grandchildren or even if your just a couple like ourselves. Perfect direct access to the beach with a viewing deck over the dunes. Has a great Hot tub as well and the residence is maintained very well.
Dear Peter,
Thank you again for staying at RUGGLES. There is nothing better than a pleased guest who returns year after year.
We are so very happy you enjoyed your stay and look forward to seeing you again next spring.

This house was everything we wanted and needed. Loved the den where the TV was as it brought us together in the evenings! The library is incredible though we didn't start reading towards the end of our stay so..I guess we'll have to rent again so we can finish the novels and books
Margie,
Thank you for taking the time to review Ruggles.
The owners will be please that the library was a hit.
The den is awesome for family together time.
Looking forward to seeing you in the 2024 season.

This is our second time staying at the Ruggles property and we will definitely be back again in the future. The space is always clean and has all the essentials and more for a relaxing vacation. You can really tell the owners care for the rental and it has that home away from home feeling. Our family of 6 had enough room to spread out when we weren't at the beach!

We particularly enjoyed watching the sun rise from the steps, using the hot tub every evening, and reading in the hammock. The house is close to shopping and restaurants as well. We loved every second in the lovely home!! Thank you!!

Despite missing the first two days thanks to Dorian, we had a great vacation. Would have loved to stay there another week. It's a great house, beautifully decorated, and sits snugly behind a big dune. Would love a small landing off stairs for ocean viewing, but otherwise, the place is perfect.

This was the first time we have rented an ocean front, and have enjoyed the Whalehead area for several years. It was the most that felt like home as soon as you walk in you could feel the owners pride and joy in this place. To top it off the owner called us on the first night and made sure everything was all right. We will gladly come back to this home.

All aspects of our stay were very positive, BUT I have a real problem with the rental office retaining my $500 damage deposit for 30 DAYS following my stay. A damage assessment can be made in a day or two following our departure (especially in this very slow off season). I will not rent from Carolina Shores again because of this.

This house was a perfect spot for our first visit to Corolla. Right on the Oceanfront in Whalehead beach with a private boardwalk to the sand. Quiet, very clean, nicely decorated, fully stocked kitchen, games, books, beach chairs/umbrellas, lots of extra blankets, pillows, etc. About 2 miles from Food Lion, restaurants, and shops (easy bike ride). Dune view from the main level—we saw beach deer. Ocean view from the upstairs master bedroom. We would definitely love to stay there again.

It was great being right on the beach. Chilly while we were there in April but quiet and nice. We met some great young people in Timbuck I who were friendly and fun. We’re able to walk on the beach several days and what a joy to have a nice quiet walk. The house was lovely. Spotlessly clean. Which means a lot. Loved being able to walk out the patio door, up the walkway and directly to the beach. In the upstairs bedroom you could open the patio door and listen to the beach sounds. Cannot think of a nicer experience. Told my husband it was the best birthday gift ever. I would love to go back to this little house but will not. We have two chihauhaus and the older one had an anxiety attack while we were away. She was boarded with our vet and well cared for, but she is so attached to me she would not eat.snd just sat and shook. Next time we will have to go to a pet friendly house. I do highly recommend this house. It is beautiful. The staff at Carolina Realty were excellent. They were very supportive and helpful. Had a great vacation. Just shorter than planned.

Our third year at this home. It is a favorite of ours. It is one of the few modestly sized homes in the area. It is really just the right size for the two of us. It sleeps eight so a young family would be very comfortable there as well. We love the quiet and open atmosphere. It has everything we ask for. I have been vacationing at the outer banks since the early 70's. I know what works well for me and the Ruggles provide it with no excuses. This is a one owner home since new. It is very well cared for. The owners want to make each renter happy with their experience.

As former Whalehead property owners we know the area well and witnessed many giant houses constructed over the years. None of those McMansions captures the true essence of a beach vacation like the Ruggles home. Comfortable and functional furnishings, a well stocked kitchen, books, games, barbecue grill, hammock and situated right on the beach. Perfect! If you want to spend your beach vacation indoors playing pool or video games, then this is not the home for you. If you want to spend your time on the beach and connect with your family around the dinner table in the evening, then this is the perfect home. We will be back.

This house was just right for our family's comings and goings. Great location, loved the access to the beach, loved the hot tub, great floor plan. House was clean and kitchen well appointed. Grocery stores close by but still had that residential feeling. We've stayed in other parts of the OBX several times and would choose this house and location again. We did day excursions to Jockey's Ridge, The Wright Bros. Memorial, climbed Hatteras Light House, went to Currituck Light House, went on a Wild Mustang tour, took the ferry to Ocracoke Island.

Ruggles was the perfect house for our beach vacation. This house was comfortable, clean, and very well equipped. We appreciated the private beach walkway, hot tub, hammock, beach chairs and umbrella and all the great books found throughout the house. The location was ideal, a quiet residential neighborhood, just a short drive to shopping, restaurants, minigolf, etc.... We had a wonderful time exploring the OBX, seeing the wild horses, watching many dolphins in the ocean, and just relaxing on the beach. We would highly recommend Ruggles if you are planning a trip to the Outer Banks.
Dear Susan,
Thank you for your positive comments. I am so glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us! I hope your next stay is just around the corner. Call us if there is anything we can assist you with.

This was one of the best vacation rental experiences we've ever had. Perfect for our family of 6. It was right on the beach and very convenient for those with small kids. The rental was clean and updated with everything we needed during our stay. We would definitely come back if we go to OBX again!

House was in excellent condition and very clean. <br/>We found both the outside and inside amenities were set up for a perfectly relaxing vacation, whatever the weather may be. The beach was fantastic, the water was perfect and the house only added to the pleasant environment. Will definetely be back!

Ruggles is a gorgeous beachfront oasis perfect for one family (sleeps 8-10, but comfortably 6-8 is more reasonable)--the owners keep the house up to date, adding new amenities every year--this year it was a new, beautiful kitchen. The beach is easily accessible via the wooden walkway--couldn't ask for anything quickly feels like home--light, bright, gorgeous views and everything you need to make your beach vacation wonderful~

This house is perfect for a family vacation. It has plenty of room for a family of 6. It was my wife and I and we loved it. The house has a lot of amenities including almost new kitchen, hot tub, 2 tier deck, hammock, and most important STEPS to the beach. Fantastic property and location, we will be back.
Dear Kellie,
Delighted to read how much you enjoyed RUGGLES!
This is the perfect OBX vacation home and so many families just love it! We do too!

This place is perfectly sized for a couple or two. Excellent location. Great outdoor space. Could do without all the notes taped all over the house providing instruction (if you feel compelled to provide "helpful" instruction, how about a book that guests can refer to? having notes everywhere takes away from relaxation). Think it'd be better to have the TV in the living room as opposed to a contained den. Also why not just include linens and adjust the price accordingly?
Dear Barry,
Thank you for taking the time to review RUGGLES!
We sincerely take your comments and suggestions to heart and will share them with staff and the homeowner.
Thanks you again for being our guest and we look forward to seeing you again in 2016.

The property is exactly as described and the location was really perfect. Close enough to jog or bike to shops in Corolla, private steps to access the ocean right over the dunes. Everything was clean and well-maintained with information provided to help us throughout the week with logistics like garbage and recycling days and how to use the hot tub. Would consider staying here again in the future, especially to enjoy Historic Corolla's bookstore, kayaking, Whalehead Club, smoothie shop, etc.
Dear Sarah,
Carolina Shores Vacation Rentals is glad to hear you enjoyed your stay.

This was our first trip to the Outer Banks and it was great. The house was perfect for our family and had everything we needed from baby monitors, pack and play, highchair and much more. The views were gorgeous and the location was perfect. We would definitely come back here again. The streets were perfect for morning runs and the kids loved the ice cream truck coming by too. The pictures were spot on and it was very clean when we arrived. We had to call because of a clogged tub and they came right away to fix. The horse tours were a lot of fun and having shops close by was a nice break from the beach too. We can't wait to plan our next trip to the Outer Banks and we will definitely come back to Corolla.
Dear Beau,
Thank you for the stunning review of RUGGLES! We agree, this is a super OBX vacation home that everyone just falls in love with.
The homeowners will be delighted with your comments and we certainly look forward to your return stay next summer.
