  • It was a cool, windy day; so it was a great day to be indoors at the Whalehead. The docent was very knowledgeable; the architectural details were stunning, and the history was very interesting.

  • The grounds are beautiful, lovely bridge to walk across, and of course go to the Lighthouse. We didn't do the house, but the grounds are just so lovely.

  • This beautiful piece of American History hearkened back to Newport, Rhode Island and all that went with it. The house was beautifully appointed. The docents were well versed in all the history. This was well worth the trip and the modest price of admission. No photos are permitted inside. But the decor! Oh my goodness, decadent and unique.
  • A beautiful and interesting place. A huge home built by a very rich family when the area was barely developed. Take the house tour it is worth the small charge. Visit the 1800s church and see the lighthouse and grounds.
  • Great park with boardwalk and soundfront areas to explore. Historical footbridge over the water leading to the boathouse is very picturesque. Ample parking. The maritime museum adjacent to it has the nicest public restrooms I have ever seen. Great area to go birding.
  • Such a neat place. You are also right next to the Lighthouse so you can knock two sights out with one trip. Did not do the tour but I had a blast wandering around the grounds and reading the signage.
  • Took the self guided tour after year's of visits to Corolla and it was well worth the time. Learned so much about the original builders & occupants and their lifestyles, as well as the people who visited. The tour was well laid out. We had the greatest access to the house I've ever had on a house tour, getting to view three floors, including the owners personal areas, the servants areas, kitchen and the basement which contained a museum of period items. There are well informed guides that are close by to answer any questions you may have.
