This is a very well stocked rental in a prime location! The host’s clear communication about the property and what to expect made it effortless to prepare, check-in/out, etc., and bedrooms and living area exceeded our expectations. We would love to stay here again next time we’re in the area.

It was a little more work packing to leave, but well worth it. We learned our lesson last time (1st time) we visited OBX. Pack groceries to eliminate needing to go grocery shopping on the weekend.

The home was just as great as advertised. I have been renting home properties from various websites for the past 17 years. This house by far had the best stocked kitchen supplies of any home that I have ever rented. The community pool was excellent and the beach was well within walking or biking distance. The host communicated well and always replied quickly to my emails. I highly recommend this property for your next trip to NC.

Lovely house and wonderful vacation for us

This house was lovely and exactly as pictured and described. Easy walk to the pool, and the nearby beach is beautiful - soft sand, pretty surf, and long enough for long walks on the beach. Everything felt easy and so relaxing. A wonderful vacation for our family.

Great week in Corolla!

Great vacation house!

The home was very clean and spacious! It was perfect for our family of 4 plus two friends. It was nice to have so many places to walk to. On rainy days we cooked dinner, played cards or watched movies. So it was a great balance of activity and relaxation. This was a great place to spend quality time with our family.

Perfect Setting for A Family Vacation

We could not be happier with our stay at this OBX home. It was perfect for our 2 families to share with teenagers & young children combined. The house was well-equipped with beach supplies & bikes. The inside was perfect for our families. It was convenient for our families to walk down to the pool, the beach, & also a little local dock where we can watch the sunset. The owner was also great to work with. We would definitely stay here again.

We had a great family vacation. Host was very helpful and provided great suggestions to the area. House accommodated 7 adults. Beds all comfortable and a very nice open kitchen. Coffee on the deck every morning watching the birds and deer across the street. Pool was a pleasant surprise. We Used it more than anticipated. Nice sunset walks to the docks. Beach was walking distance but also had a free parking lot. Corolla a very relaxing village with good coffee shops and a nice beer garden.Overall a fantastic experience.
