Day 7 at Whalebone Villa. Jon and I drove up to Duck and Corolla and saw the Currituck lighthouse. Then had lunch and shopped along the waterfront in Duck. Had dinner with the kiddos and then Jon and I hung out with Dana and Eric at Lost Colony Brewery in Nags Head. Schooner loves the little waterfront at Lost Colony! A rainy but fun last day of our trip!

A parting gift as we left Nags Head this morning to return home to our mountains. We so enjoyed this week of exploring the Outer Banks and hope you will visit soon!

Day Six at Whalebone Pierview was just pure heaven. From the Duck donuts to quiet times on the balcony to walks on the beach and dips in the pool, today was a perfect end to the week. We leave tomorrow. But stay tuned because while we were here we also decorated the condo so I’ll post some pics later in the weekend. Waiting to make pics just before we leave.

Day 5 at Whalebone Pierview. We went on a wild horse tour in Corolla with Corolla Outback Adventures. Amazing to see these Spanish Mustangs who roam freely. They originally came to the island when Spanish ships wrecked over 500 years ago. So fun! Video to follow.

Day two at Whalebone Pierview. Pure heaven! We are working on new decor for the condo so only got out a few hours today. Pool was so perfect!

Evening stroll on the beach in Nags Head, then sitting on the front balcony of Whalebone Pierview with a cocktail. I cannot tell you how beautiful this place is. And how much cleaner it is than so many other beaches.

Day One at Whalebone Pierview (condo). My kids and I arrived late this afternoon and grabbed an hour in the pool before getting an early supper. If you are looking for great pizza - Nags Head Pizza Company is amazing! And excellent strawberry, goat cheese salad as well. Love that they write a little message on the inside of the box. Going for a walk on the beach now so more pics later. -Heidi

Why is it called "Whalebone"? Check out these historical photos and information about Whalebone Junction.

People ask all the time why we named our business “Whalebone.” The short answer is, that’s the area around our properties is called “Whalebone Junction.” But where did that name originate? In the early 1930’s a local businessman owned a service station located close to Jeanette’s Pier....

Check out our new oceanfront condo: Whalebone Pierview! It indeed does have a view of Jeanette's Pier and an amazing view of the ocean. Plus, TWO swimming pools and more! We just acquired this property so we are going to need some time to gussy it up and make it stylish, but we are stoked to be offering it for rent this season. I'll share before & after photos as we complete the decor. If you'd like to rent this condo, visit https://www.resortrealty.com/booking/whalebone-pierview/5745/

It's a bit chilly in Nags Head right now but still a beautiful walk on the beach makes us happy campers. Dad loves to walk on the beach any time of year.
