Hi, we're Adrienne and Mike! The Outer Banks isn't just a destination for us — it's our happy place. We've been vacationing here for over 26 years, got married right here in Corolla, and spent years dreaming of hosting and sharing this special slice of paradise with others.
Now, as professional vacationers turned dedicated hosts, we get to do just that.
With decades of experience in public service, we believe the best hospitality is the kind that feels effortless — where every detail is taken care of so you can simply show up, exhale, and enjoy.
Whale Wishes OBX is our love letter to the Outer Banks, and we can't wait to welcome you home.

A quick note: as a guest, we’d also expect the same level of courtesy, and we would love it if you could complete a few quick tasks upon checking out.
Before you head out, here are a few simple things to take care of. Please turn off all lights throughout the home, and make sure the hot tub is closed and locked. Take any trash to the outside containers, and that's it — no need to strip the beds or gather towels, our cleaning team will handle the rest.
To ensure a comfortable and enjoyable stay for everyone, we have a few simple house rules in place.
Our home welcomes up to 16 guests — children and infants are always welcome!
We kindly ask that there be no smoking on the property.
As much as we adore our furry friends, we are unable to accommodate pets in our home — we hope you understand and appreciate your cooperation!
A refundable $400 security deposit is required at booking.
Guests must be 25 or older to reserve, and a signed digital lease and valid ID are required to complete your booking.
Please also note that the home is not wheelchair accessible. We can't wait to host you!
Check-in is at 4:00 PM and check-out is at 10:00 AM. Your detailed check-in instructions will be sent to you no later than 7 days before your arrival.
If you require a later check-out, we'll do our best to accommodate it. But please bear in mind you'll need to let us know beforehand. If we have guests arriving that day it will be almost impossible to offer a late check-out due to the cleaners needing to prepare for those guests.
The beach is closer than you think, just under 500 feet, or a leisurely 4-minute walk!
Yes, we have high-speed Wi-Fi throughout the house, reliable enough for work calls or streaming.
