Whalehead Club Review

This 1920's manion is right on the water and it is absolutely beautiful. I took a tour and I definitely recommend it. Also, don't be afraid to ask the staff questions. They are kind, knowledgeable, and love their job.

This historic site offers very interesting tours and is a great way to see the beauty and history of Corolla. There is also the Corolla light house near by, which is fun to explore. This is a great way to spend your day and support the local businesses near by. Staff is also very friendly and helpful.

Amazing place. Walk through here and imagine life on the OBX before the tourists.

An excellent historical treasure that has a fascinating self guided tour.

the nicest location i have seen peacefull and extraordinary beauty

An excellent historical treasure that has a fascinating self guided tour.

Great place for sunsets and a look back into NC's history!

A very Beautiful Place to visit. Great Scenery for pictures.

Very authentic and well put together exhibits and displays.

Absolutely beautiful spot to take the perfect sunset pictures!

Great walking park. Lots of green, ponds & sounds views.

Very well cared for. Good walking/biking paths and info markers.

Historic Whale Head Club on Outer Banks in North Carolina close to Kitty Hawk.Nice to see on your visit.

This is an absolutely beautiful mansion, nearly on the water! Very nicely finished and appointed, with high quality materials and thoughtful touches. There are many original artifacts on display, as well as other period-correct pieces. My favorite is the basement, where there is so much to learn that I could spend hours reading down there. Check it out for yourself! Walking distance to the Currituck Beach Lighthouse.

Always a great visit! Lots to see, walks are easy & free & educational!

We did not tour the inside, but the area is beautiful. There is a number of informational plaques scattered around the property with great info. There is a boardwalk and a number of picnic spots, plus you can crab in the sound

Lovely house. Self guided tours with ipod stations. The staff was extremely friendly. It was a free tour. Great views of the sound.

Best $5 I have spent in a long time. A real jewel of a place. I would love to visit again.

It was really nice to your the museum, but what really has earned the 5 stars is the events the club holds in the summer. Wine tasting + a signature glass + discounted fee? Fantastic!

Beautiful property and grounds. Sadly opted to not take the tour based on how unwelcome the gentleman at the front door made us feel.

We thoroughly enjoyed everything about this place, Corolla, and Duck on the way down. Very friendly and hospitable folks at Whalehead.

Cool historical place. Corolla lighthouse is just a few hundred yards away. Nice park too.

Pretty area for people watching and taking pictures.

Beautiful peaceful place. Took our dogs for a walk on the grass. The sunset is beautiful

Beautiful park around the historic house. Great for biking, picnics, Frisbee, walks...

Very beautiful, many activities offered, you can climb to the top of a lighthouse and contemplate the landscape.

Beautiful building to look at. There is an entrance fee. I wouldn't take small children inside. Located on a beautiful grounds with proximity to the Currituck Lighthouse and Wildlife Education center. A great place to take a picnic lunch and enjoy the scenery.

The July 4th festival and Firework show was amazing and the best part is it was free!! Had free activities for the kids, food trucks (paid for food of course) and firework show. I highly recommend taking the family.

There is a reasonable fee to get in. My wife and I were surprised that it was a self guided tour. This was actually a very pleasant way to tour the building as you could listen to the recordings and take the time that you wanted to look at the building. The only downside was that you are not allowed to take pictures inside.

-great, clean family park area
-fishing, crabbing, bike riding, trails

Amazing historical site and the Sound side is very fun if your into nature. I was able to see a lot of different wildlife.

Very interesting piece of history and to think this place was neglected for many years and now is so beautiful- great stop for some history and architecture appreciation.

A trip to the OBX is never complete without going to the whalehead club!

Cool historical place. Corolla lighthouse is just a few hundred yards away. Nice park too.

Beautiful!! One of the best things we did on our trip to the Outer Banks.

The area is beautiful and well worth a stroll, especially at sunset.

If you come for the wine tastings, though, be aware: your ticket gets you two vineyards and a single brewery. They ll rush you through and won t be able to answer questions about the wine. Not at all the experience I expect for the price.

Beautifully restored period house, with knowledgeable tour guides.

The house is an interesting way to tour life of a bygone era. Very affordable admission. Parking around the grounds was easy to find. I enjoyed seeing the exhibits in the basement. See all 3 levels of the house!

Beautiful mansion and grounds. Somewhat handicap friendly in the house, the grounds have wonderful paths for wheelchairs and accessible restrooms.

I have been coming here since before it was restored. This place is truly worth the visit especially at sunset. The tour of the house is incredible and well preserved. The long history of this house and the family are truly amazing. The views of the sound and lighthouse are worth it. Great wine festivals in the fall and a great place to picnic or hold a photoshoot. The Whalehead Club is a staple of the Outer banks rich in history and grandeur. Don't miss your chance to take the tour and see the grounds!

This is a very nice hunting camp. There is lots of fine Craftsmanship. Pay close attention to the little things. Hopefully they can find the rest of the furniture. The tour is worth the $7.

Nice quiet park. Walk around enjoy views of the lighthouse and the sound. Bring lunch and relax

First visit here and we toik the Behind the Scene tour. Excellent tour. The history and renovations on this house are fantastic.

Nice place to spend the day can go boating , play Cornhole , or just walk your dog. I enjoy it here.

Lovely old home and amazing views of the Currituck Sound. If you love art deco styles then you'll love this house. Really beautiful examples lovingly restored to its original glory

Very nice. A well organized self tour of a one of a kind house built by elites who liked to entertain and hunt ducks. A look into the past at a well maintained residence in an era of opulence. Many preserved period curios, furniture, clothes etc.

Full of interesting history, and the staff was very knowledgeable and clearly very passionate about the history they are preserving.

Great place to chill on a nice day. Beautiful sunsets!

Beautiful views, clean bathrooms and easy ramp to drop an SUP at

We enjoyed the many interesting items that were displayed in the house. The self guided tours using a push button devise in each room gave us a lot of time to just look around at our own pace. The staff were very nice and answered all of our questions. Going there was recommended by a fellow tourist. The cost of $5.00 was very reasonable for us senior citizens.

Amazing views and a very cool history. $7 entry fee.

Next visit I'm taking the tour. It is such a beautiful place with an amazing story to go with it.

Interesting history about the property and wildlife that inhabitat the Corolla, OBX.

We didn't go inside the club but just walked around after our visit to the lighthouse. Very nice walking area. Beautiful scenery.

Pretty neat place, they have done a lot of renovating and this place now shine. My only complaint is I wish they were open longer.

The tour of the house is a great way to see how the 1 percenters of yesterday lived, played an hunted. Every Wednesday they have art in the park with music, wine, art and food. Bring the family!

Great place for picnic. Lots of events hosted. Well worth a visit.

Very interesting tour of this beautiful home. It's like visiting a version of Downton Abbey in America. The only small drawback is that the tours are self guided and not staggered enough to allow you to see the house without other groups intermingling which on occasion was distracting when trying to listen to the recordings.

A beautiful piece of history well worth taking in while in this area. A time we'll preserved of life when life was much more simple.
