About this property

3 Little Gulls - Corolla, Ocean Sands, 30 Ft to Beach, Semi-Oceanfront, Pool, Hot Tub, Pets OK

3 Little Gulls is a coastal cottage, nestled beside the pristine Corolla shore in the northernmost Ocean Sands community. You'll wake up to the soothing sound of crashing waves, and breathe in the salty sea air from its screened porch and private decks (accessible from the living area and two bedrooms). The cottage also boasts views of the Atlantic, providing the perfect backdrop for your morning coffee or evening sunset.

With DIRECT access to the beach (via boardwalk) just steps from your door, endless days of sun, sand, and surf await you. Whether you're lounging by the water's edge, building sandcastles with the family, or taking a leisurely stroll along the coastline with the dog, the beach is your playground.

You can also take a dip in the private saltwater pool (14x32), grill some dinner, and unwind after a day of beach adventures in the soothing hot tub under the starry night sky.

Inside, this home exudes charm and comfort. Thoughtfully decorated with beach-inspired decor, you'll feel right at home in this serene seaside retreat. Relax in the cozy expanded living area, whip up a meal in the fully equipped kitchen, play some games, or just chill in one of the comfortable bedrooms (each equipped with a Smart TV).

Beyond the beach, Corolla offers a plethora of activities and attractions to explore (many within walking or biking distance). Visit the iconic Currituck Beach Lighthouse, embark on a wild horse tour, or indulge in fresh seafood at one of the local restaurants. Two grocery stores are also within a short drive.

Whether you're seeking a romantic getaway, a family beach vacation, or a gathering with friends, 3 Little Gulls provides a tranquil and relaxing setting to create unforgettable memories that will last a lifetime.

Great location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed at the Diane Marie for a week with the family and had a great time. The house is very close to the beach and has a wonderful pool. The kitchen is well stocked and the rooms are spacious. Our only complaint was with the refrigerator getting too cold and freezing food, but we contacted maintenance so it should be resolved for the next guess. We loved our stay.

a great spot in corolla

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a good two weeks here. The house has a great layout and a lot of small, thoughtful touches. I honestly LOVED that the cabinets were labeled! The location is great, across from the beach access and close to the shops in Corolla. We didn't get to use the pool as the water was still too chilly but we enjoyed the hot tub. We had a lovely trip.

It is right across from the beach access. The ocean was a little rough when we went, but the Beach was nice and the lifeguard/beach rescue stand was right at entrance. If you like turtles. Be sure to take a short walk to community lake. What an experience! We would go back!

Disappointment

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We looked at the pictures online and were well aware that it was not new, large, or even that updated, which we were ok with as it was so close to the beach and dog friendly. We were very disappointed in the upkeep of the property and cleanliness. When we arrived the beach access across the street was closed for 2 days. One of the showers would not drain. It took 3 days til it was fixed. This property has great potential but needs a major cleaning. The pool was nice but not much concrete space around the pool. The hot tub was very nice but the cover was extremely heavy and took all the strength of 2 people to put back on the hot tub. Very disappointing vacation, nothing relaxing about this property.

Amazing location!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The rental home location to the beach was amazing! We loved that it was pet friendly and that it had a pool and hot tub. The home itself is very dated. We cleaned the home again when we arrived because there was clumps of white dog hair everywhere. The yard was overgrown and is very sandy in areas, which was tracked into the pool (no way to avoid it). Landscapers did come the day before we left and cut the grass. Before then we picked up lots of sticks and debris that were everywhere around the yard and put it in the beach buggy hoping management would remove. The fridge freezes food so set to a very low setting. Overall we made the best of it.

Our Big Chill Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was PERFECT! We were four couples having a beach vacation together and the Diane Marie was perfect. The location is directly across the street from the beach walkway and we also had our own big pool and hit tub. The living quarters were all open and the kitchen was large enough for three - four of us in there getting the meals done. The house was spotless, large and comfortable. We are planning on staying thee again.

The Diane Marie

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Location was super and the house was much cleaner than past years. However not being able to control the AC is horrible. Bedrooms had to be 80 at night, calls resulted in owners dropping temperature 2 degrees. Unacceptable. The pool was great but the sand was never vacuumed before we arrived or during the week . I would given overall rating a 5 if not for the AC

Response from VrboOwner on 11 May 2022

Hi Herb, thank you for your review. We are so sorry to hear that the AC temperature did not provide you with a comfortable stay and for the pool maintenance that did not occur. We will certainly look into this. Otherwise, we are glad to hear that you enjoyed the location of the home and hope to see you again next year.

Not what it seems

The pictures were clearly taken many years ago. This house is outdated and run down. I had to call and have them come back to clean. It didn’t look like they cleaned at all! When they sent someone back she couldn’t clean much cuz our stuff was all over. This place was a huge disappointment and should have been half the price.

Great Location -could use updates and repairs

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was a decent size but in need of some upgrades and repairs. We were concern that a ceiling might fall in due to prior water damage at the house for starters. There were also a few other deficiencies that needed to be addressed. The house keeping staff forgot to put sheets on one bed and we went two nights without sheets on that bed. The house cleanliness upon arrival was as if the last renter tried to clean the unit instead of a housekeeping staff. The location was excellent and the pool was much enjoyed. We would stay here again, but not for the same price we paid given the condition of the unit.
