We had the most wonderful weekend at Jessica’s townhouse. The townhouse was exactly as pictured, beautifully decorated and very spacious for the 8 of us. Location was perfect, very close to the beach and just across the street from the sound. We enjoyed all the amenities/games provided, from ping pong table to dart board to the private hot tub. It was especially fun showing my nieces and nephew (age 11-15) the old school video games my brother and I used to play when we were kids and see them enjoy it as much as we did. Jessica is the most gracious host, always friendly and responsive.

We’ve been vacationing in the Outer Banks for the past 12 years, and this is by far the best-stocked home we’ve stayed in. Every detail was thoughtfully considered, from the games and beach gear to the fishing equipment and fully equipped kitchen. It had everything we could have needed and more.The house was spacious, clean, and comfortable, making it perfect for our family. The host was wonderful as well, friendly, responsive, and easy to communicate with.We would absolutely stay in this exact house again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fantastic place to vacation in the Outer Banks!

Reel Keeper is spot-on!

Excellent property with outstanding amenities - especially for teenage kids (or grandkids in our case). Very well equipped, lots of games and distractions like bikes, ping-pong, hot-tub, cornhole, video game table, X-Box and much more. Walkable to beach, sound and main rec center. Jess was easy to work with. Highly recommend.

It's about the little things

We had a great time here. The host is very communicative and the house is updated, clean, plenty of space for everyone, and has plenty of amenities - games, activities for toddlers, outdoor equipment. The kitchen is VERY well stocked, had everything we needed for a full Thanksgiving dinner. There were a lot of little things that made our stay easy - like the host not leaving us with single ply toilet paper, stocking plenty of kitchen utensils and appliances, and giving us plenty of info ahead of time. We'd love to stay again!

The perfect place for our first time in the OBX!!

The Reel Keeper was the perfect place for our first time in the OBX!! The house was immaculate and had absolutely everything we needed! From things we needed in the house to things for the beach…we had it all! Jessica was a dream host and communication was perfect! The bedrooms, kitchen, shared spaces, hot tub space, and outdoor patio blew my mind when we walked through! If you’re looking for an amazing place, close to the beach, close to all the activities in Corolla…then this is your place! Thank you for creating a beautiful place to make special memories!

Spacious, yet Cozy

We had a wonderful time in this spacious and well-stocked townhouse. The multiple floors and various living spaces were perfect for our family of 5 plus grandparents. The location is excellent for exploring all that Corolla has to offer and the hosts have supplied closets full of games, beach toys, etc. to add to the fun. Jessica communicated clearly throughout the process and even graciously let us know we could check out a bit later on our final day. Overall, we had a great experience and highly recommend!

Awesome Stay

This place exceeded our expectations. We went to Corolla for a long weekend with three other couples. Immediately upon walking in everyone loved the house and felt completely at home. We enjoyed sitting around the firepit, were able to have a beach picnic, and our sunset happy hour on the sound pier was awesome. We were able to soothe our competeive sides playing multiple board games provided at the house and discovered horeshoes, bocce ball, and shuffleboard at the oceanside pool complex. We will definitely come back!

Ohhh yes! Beach picnics during these winter months are just the best! Happy you were able to watch a beautiful sunset after your short walk to the sound side of OBX! Sounds like the weather was nice enough to head over to the Oceanside complex and play the provided activities! Hope to have you visit A Reel Keeper again :)

Spring Break 2023

We had an excellent stay for 5 days over Spring Break. 2 adults & 6 teenagers with plenty of room to stay & socialize (2 family rooms). The hot tub was terrific as the ocean was too chilly (and u fortunately Corolla Resort chose now to close indoor pool for maintenance). The home had everything you need: air fryer, pots & pans, baking trays, and even Tupperware. Even soap & paper products… been coming to OBX for 40+ years and never had a house so well appointed. We enjoyed our stay! Thank you.

Amazing holiday vacation!

5++ stars for Reel Keeper! We can only say non-stop great things about this beautiful vacation home from the variety of activities they offer (ping pong, bikes, darts, fishing poles, fire pit, hot tub, board games) to the best stocked kitchen we have seen! House is so clean, spacious, and welcoming. Loved the short walk to the beach, sound side, and the Whalehead Club. Jessica is absolutely the BEST host and loved all the great communication. Thank you so much for welcoming us into your home. Happy New Year!

Great New Year at OBX!

We stayed at A Reel Keeper to get together with family and friends for New Years. The home had the perfect amount of space for us to share our time together yet still enough room for everyone to have their own space. Though it was the off season, we were able to check out the pools, play some tennis, shuffleboard and several of the other Corolla Light amenities. We can just imagine how wonderful it will all be in the summer time, and are already planning on when we can return to A Reel Keeper. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful home with us!

Great House, Better Location

We had a combined family vacation stay at A Reel Keeper for Christmas and the place was perfect for what we needed. The house is updated, clean, and has a fully stocked kitchen for cooking. There are also plenty of games/activities in the house if you have a couple rainy days (like we did). The location was the best part, being right in the center of the Corolla Light Resort with a short walk to either the beach or the Sound for the sunset. The resort kept us and the kids busy with plenty of activities, including a scavenger hunt, basketball shooting contest, and a 5k run through the resort. The owner was also very responsive and had lots of suggestions on how to spend our trip. Our family would highly recommend this property and we look forward to staying here again!

Great place to enjoy obx

Everything was clean and modern and very well stocked. Location is good, we were lazy and drove to the free public parking to get even closer to the beach but you can walk to beach in about 10 mins w/o doing that. Family enjoyed the community pools and some activities like making tie dye tshirts. Walk to get ice cream. Ping pong and Galaga were big hits and relaxing in the hot tub. Place was very clean and host was quick to respond in a friendly way whenever we asked about anything. Nice walk-in showers in main baths also gave a modern look and feel to it. We had 2 families w teens and had plenty of space and even used the nearby overflow parking one day for visitors as we had 5 vehicles that day. Would definitely return.
