It was poorly maintained—screen door must be forced open, windows do not stay open, ice maker doesn’t work, outdoor shower area filthy, part missing from refrigerator door—and minimally equipped. Charcoal grill on its last legs. Furniture worn and uncomfortable.Good beach supplies like chairs.

I appreciate your feedback and I'm glad to hear the beach supplies were a highlight during your stay. None of the concerns you mentioned were brought to my attention during your stay, as I would have been happy to send the maintenance team to address these items had you flagged them to me. I'm sorry for the inconvenience, and I've taken note of your feedback and shared it with the owner and the team so that all these items can be reviewed and addressed properly.

Great location, communication was great! However, internet was spotty, coffee machine was broken, and the fridge was leaking. Someone did come by to assess the problems that were addressed, however, the problems were not fixed during our stay.

The house, pool, and hot tub were very clean. We enjoyed being so close to shopping and within walking distance to the beach. James responded quickly whenever we contacted him. Was a bit disappointed in how the kitchen was stocked as far as cookware and serving bowls. Unfortunately, the previous renters did put the trash out before leaving (no fault of owner) which caused the lower deck area to be smelly. Good value for the price!

Thank you, Sandra! I am so glad you enjoyed the pool, hot tub, and the walkability to the beach. I will take a look at the cookware and serving bowls to make sure the kitchen is better stocked going forward. I hope to have you back again soon!

Perfect short getaway

The Ocean Sands was the perfect fall getaway for my family over a holiday weekend. Check-in was easy, with the owner sending us the instructions well before we arrived. The kitchen had all the essentials we needed to cook, and there were plenty of linens for us. The location in Corolla afforded us the chance to visit a lot of local venues. We would definitely consider staying here again soon!

The best part of our stay was the quick, responsive, and knowledgeable communications with our host, James. The beach house is conveniently located next to a small lake and short walk to the beach. Having a pool and hot tub certainly added to the stay. We had 7 adults and 4 kids which the house accommodated nicely. It has several porch and deck areas where everyone could find some private time. It could use some landscaping and outdoor cleanup to improve overall enjoyment.

Thank you so much for your kind words about my home. I’m so glad to hear you and your group had a great stay and that I could help you during your visit. I truly appreciate your compliments on my communication, the location, and the amenities and it’s wonderful to know the house accommodated everyone comfortably and gave your group the space to both connect and relax. Thanks also for your note on some of the outdoor areas of the home. If I had known during your stay that you felt additional landscaping or exterior cleaning was needed, I would have gladly sent a vendor out right away to address it. Unfortunately, I didn’t hear about it at the time, so I wasn’t able to resolve it while you were there. The property is regularly maintained, but with the coastal environment, things like sand, salt air, and wind can sometimes make upkeep an ongoing task. That said, I’ll certainly take another close look to ensure the outdoor spaces remain just as enjoyable as the rest of the home. I’m very glad to know your overall experience was positive, and I’d love the opportunity to host you again in the future!

Fun family stay

Overall the property had everything we needed. Both families had a great stay with use of the pool, hot tub and game room. My only constructive feedback would be new pots/pans. The host James was very communicative and jumped on any needs right away. Thank you!

Great time!

We had a wonderful time here! The house was roomy and comfortable, and the 10 minute walk to the beach was reasonable and enjoyable. We had an issue with a fire alarm and James and his team were super responsive and helpful! The only caveat with the property was the outdoor shower was broken (they fixed it right away during our stay, though) and it was dirty, like it hadn’t been cleaned in a while. Other than that, everything was great and having linens and towels provided was also a huge help!

Great location

The location of this property is pretty great. The kids were able to bike into town, and we walked everywhere. Once you remember the path/directions to the beach, it’s abt an 8 minute walk. The pictures are very accurate, although the outside of the house, including pool area, decks, furniture and outdoor shower need a good update and cleaning. The outdoor shower is not mentioned in the listing, and it doesn’t work. Disappointed to see it in that condition nonetheless. The pool was cleaned and checked during our stay, which was a great surprise. Overall, the house needs a good updating. Great location.

Thank you for your review! I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the location and that the kids were able to bike into town. I’m sorry the outdoor areas didn’t meet your expectations. If I had known, I would have been happy to send someone over during your stay. I’ve since looked into these concerns and they’ve been taken care of, as guest comfort and care are always a top priority. I appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back again!

Overall Nice

House matched the photos very welll. King bed and queen beds very comfortable. Twins mattresses were horrible and bunk beds were squeaky. Would recommend changing the mattresses on the bunk beds so everyone can have a good night sleep. Pool table was nice but only has one operational pool stick, if you are going to have a pool table make sure it has good quality equipment. Hot tub was great and in excellent condition. Pool is hot heated so keep that in mind when booking. Parking is very limited. Can only fit 3 cars in the driveway. Walk to beach is about 10 minutes and make sure to remember your path.

This home is in desperate need of some maintenance. The screens in the screened in porch were all torn. The sliding door to the porch does not operate properly. It was extremely hard to open and close. The majority of the dining chairs have holes in them. The pool was full of leaves and the filter was not running when we arrived, however someone came to address this shortly after I spoke with property manager. This is our third time renting a home in Corolla and this is by far the worst kept home we’ve stayed in.

Thank you for your feedback. I am glad that when you reached out about the pool, I was able to have my vendor come by promptly to get it addressed so you could enjoy it during your stay. I always make guest concerns a priority and work quickly to resolve them. As for the other items you mentioned, I do want to clarify that the home is regularly inspected and maintained, and my team works hard to stay on top of wear and tear that naturally happens in a coastal environment. Salt air, heavy winds, and high guest turnover can all impact things like porch screens, sliding doors, and outdoor furniture more quickly than in non-coastal homes. While some of these items may show normal signs of use, they are not reflective of a lack of upkeep. Had I been made aware of these specific concerns during your stay, I would have gladly sent maintenance to make adjustments or provide alternatives so they did not impact your visit. This property is enjoyed by many families each season, and I consistently receive positive feedback about both the home and the care that goes into it. I take pride in being proactive, responsive, and committed to ensuring a comfortable experience for every guest. While I understand your perspective, describing the home as the “worst kept” is not reflective of the majority of guest experiences or of the effort my team and I put into maintaining it. I do sincerely appreciate your input, as it helps me continue to monitor and improve the home, and I am glad you were still able to enjoy your time in Corolla.
