Potential

We first arrived at the home we were very excited. But as we started walking through the home we started noticing things. First off, the carpets are stained up badly especially going upstairs. There was a nail head sticking out of one of the landings on the stairs and we didn't notice it until my son stepped on it. We were looking out of the glass door going up the stairs and it was absolutely covered in dead gnats. I understand insects and bugs happen but you could tell this glass door had not been cleaned in a long time. Next thing we noticed was none of the tvs worked. They would come on but they would freeze up or not connect to our hotspot since Spectrum Internet was out because of the outage, but the tvs still didn't work well at all. Then we went to make dinner and the dishes, pots, pans, bowls were so disgusting. The dishwasher was absolutely FULLof dishes when we opened it up. You could tell it hadn't been emptied and dishes had kept being added and then the dishwasher would be ran and instead of emptying it, more dishes were added We then had to wash pots, pans, dishes before we used them and then afterwards by hand. We went to use the pool which was nice but the pool chairs were green and dingy with holes in them. We opened up the pillow storage box on the porch and the pillows had black mold and mildew all over them. We moved the couches in the living room to look for something and Yuck. Manager came while we were gone but didn't call or come back. Disappointed!

Home away from home!!

This vacation home was perfect for my family. We all had plenty of space and never felt like we were on top of one another. The pool and the hot tub were a big hit with my kids, my husband and myself. We were a short distance from the stores and the beach. The neighborhood was quiet and everybody around was so nice and pleasant. The only issue I had was when we got there the garbage cans outside were completely full to the top. However, when I did request for some help, they sent someone over right away, but they only cleaned out one garbage can. There was plenty of towels and supplies. We love our vacation to the Outer Banks and can’t wait to come again.

Good, fun property. Poor check-in/out process.

Property was simple and clean. Pool and hot tub were a huge plus and in excellent condition. Location was great as it's a short bike ride to Food Lion and several ice cream shops. Neighborhood is quiet. Only negative is they wouldn't let us check in before 4 pm even though was no one there the day prior. With us arriving to town around noon it would have been nice to be able to get to the house even 2 hours earlier in order for us to get settled in. Also wouldn't let us check out an hour later when it was storming out, and there was no one coming in behind us.

We had four generations stay in the home and everyone slept comfortably. We prepared wonderful dinners for the family every evening. It was a wonderful reunion. Also, I love the owners love fur babies. Our fur babies were very happy also. I will definitely rent again.

Nice dog friendly home

Nice clean home with room for larger group. Hot tub/pool area was nice big area to visit while the kids swim plus had a grill for outdoor cooking. Kitchen was fully stocked with cookware. Open living room kitchen area was nice for visiting and eating. Suggestion would be bigger trash can. With so many people we had to take the trash out often. Also bedrooms could use mattress pads or updated mattress. They were pretty hard. Location of house was close driving distance for shopping and Food Lion for groceries. Beach was short driving distance. There is a lot of steps for older people. So be aware of that when booking but it was nice to have some separation when needed. We enjoyed our stay plus being able to bring our dog.

Our favorite home we have booked!

This home was impressive with the cleanliness, organization, coordinating decor, and space. The beds were comfortable, plenty of blankets, towels, and starter supplies. We were able to enjoy the large hot tub on the cool days and the pool on the hotter days. Loved the little bar and fridge by the pool, that was a surprise amenity! We had a great vacation and enjoyed our home away from home.

Great place!

The location and property itself were absolutely fantastic. It had everything we needed and then some and what it didn't have we were able to pick up at the grocery store less than a minute away. It was very clean and spacious we absolutely loved it!

Wonderful Family Vacation

The house had plenty of room for our family. The layout was great, bedrooms were very private with a large gathering area near the kitchen including outdoor space.

Family Week at Corolla Summer 2023

Plenty of room for 10 people. The kitchen was well equipped. The pool and the hot top were cleaned twice while we were staying at the house (6 nights). The house could use some deep cleaning. There were spider webs in many rooms. One thing to consider is the distance to the beach. It is a hike to get to the beach so be aware especially if you have kids. Also, there were no instructions in the house for things like trash pick-up days (Wednesdays & Saturdays). Overall we all enjoyed our stay :)

Beautiful Home, Interesting Lack of Amenities

Overall we LOVED the actual house, the location, the neighborhood. It was a great house to have young kids as we could all hang out on the top floor while the kids took naps/went to bed. My biggest critique was the complete lack of amenities. I grew up going to the Jersey Shore and it is common practice for basic amenities like toilet paper/paper towels/hand soap/trash bags to be provided. We arrived at 8 pm and had exactly 3 toilet paper rolls total for a house with 5 bathrooms. I called the property manager and they confirmed that is all we get. No soap, nothing. Definitely frustrating to not be able to do something as simple as wash my hands on arrival to a home I paid nearly $4000 for. Aside from that, I do feel that there were so many great things that WERE provided, such as board games and beach accessories. It is hard to know if this is the owner's decision to deprive guests of amenities or the property manager deciding for them. My only other mention is that the beach is not very walkable as you cannot really cut through the housing community. We anticipated being able to walk there so that was a little disappointing. That said, it is doable, just a detour to get there and would take much more time than driving.

Family Vacation

Great location! Close to the beautiful beach, close to stores/food. Really nice having the pool to swim in later in the day, a little small but still enjoyable. Only complaints...it could of been cleaner, the fridge wouldn't stay cold and could use some updating. Overall great trip, the location and beach made up for the other stuff.
