This is a beautiful home in a perfect location. The house has so many beautiful outdoor decks including a stunning rooftop with clear ocean views as well as a large pool, hot tub, tiki bar and volleyball area. It never felt crowded with our group of 14 as there were so many spaces to hang out and relax. Large kitchen and dining area. Bike and walking paths right outside the door and lots of great amenities. I highly recommend!

Annual family beach week
Lovely house with easy beach access; has its own pool, outside shower and bathroom. It has a well supplied kitchen for those who like to cook and a very large table for those who like to eat. It was a great place for our annual family beach week.

Perfect Beach Vacation
We had a lovely time at the house. The pool is great and the beach is across the street and so nice! There are plenty of restaurants and the food lion is open 24-hours for food shopping. Super Wings is in the same parking lot as Food Lion and covers all of your souvenir needs. The house had plenty of pool toys and beach chairs. The kitchen was well stocked with all your cooking needs and the grill worked well too.
Some cons:
The house was not properly cleaned when we arrived. Sand was everywhere and the floors were so dirty our feet and socks were black. We also weren’t given enough towels at first. But management came back the next day with a cleaning crew and they cleaned everything. We were told that turnover day is Saturday and they were short-staffed so it took extra long for the cleaning to happen. We arrived for check-in on time but the house wasn’t “cleaned” until almost an hour and a half later.
The gardener came on Friday morning and made the pool dirty with grass shavings so we couldn’t use the pool for a few hours until the filter cleaned it all out. They should come on another day in our opinion.
We had some WiFi connection issues and the AC on one of the floors was broken one day but management came quickly to repair both which was good.
The house accommodated our family of 13 so nicely and we made wonderful memories and despite some of the annoyances, we chose to rebook for next summer. We had such awesome views of the sunset from the top roof deck. Keeping the cons in mind, you can work around them and have a great time at the house.

Gorgeous, well equipped, private bathroom in every bedroom.
The weather for ourweek in May 2022 was really ugly ;but the house solved all our problems. 4000+feet. With several sitting areas, play room. We ate out and in. The kids were taken to a local sports complex, where there was swimming, another place offered trampolines. Dinners out were very good. Above anything was the layout, it was perfect and a private bathroom in every bedroom!

House exceeded expectations!
The pictures of the house didn’t do its size justice - it felt incredibly spacious and easily accommodated our group of 12. Even the second Single in one of the Queen rooms was large enough to sleep in! Overall a great experience and would recommend to anyone.

Communication confusion, but overall a great house
This house is listed on several sites; we found it via VRBO. But all communications will come from Vacasa. This caused some confusion on our part due to minor inconsistencies in the descriptions on the two sites and responses to direct inquiries we made to the property manager. One site says no beach chairs or other amenities, so we packed chairs, only to find the house has several! Same with comforters/quilts - we were told that due to COVID, only sheets and a blanket per bed were available. So we packed bedding, only to discover ample bedding, including comforters and extra blankets.
In addition, we made sure to inquire about the hot tub availability, and were told that it was available during our April stay. When we arrived, the hot tub was dirty and empty. The pool, which we knew was not available for heating, was a swamp. We called Vacasa and the representative was very pleasant and had the management company call me. The management company woman was rude. The owner of the house called me, and he was very apologetic and arranged for the pool/hot tub company to come out the next business day. He explained that there was a miscommunication with the management company.
So, the biggest complaint we have is that there seems to be an exceptional number of cooks in the kitchen with respect to this property (and probably many similar properties in OBX). We have never experienced such confusion and miscommunication in renting a vacation property. That said, the minor inconveniences were not really a big deal (mostly annoying to deal with after a 10-hour drive) and were ultimately resolved to our satisfaction.
The house is very spacious, well- maintained and the kitchen is very well-stocked. The beds are comfortable and the linens are of decent quality. There is ample comfortable seating in the house and on the many decks. The dining table is gigantic and seats at least 14. The appliances are relatively new and work well. We especially appreciated the ice machine in the lower kitchenette.
The location of the house is great. A mile from two shopping plazas, including one with a grocery store. The public beach access is literally across from the front yard. The neighborhood is lovely and all the houses around are well-kept and it was very quiet at night. The police keep a regular patrol so we felt comfortable letting the teens walk/bike around alone.
We would consider this house again if we return to Corolla.

The Perfect House
We have rented houses in the Outer Banks for years and this was the absolute best! Perfect location (how can you beat walking across the street to the beach?!) every bedroom has its own bath, huge gathering room, kitchen (2 Dishwashers and easily the best stocked kitchen ever!) dining, great pool, bar and so many decks! Even when it was raining and the wind was whipping, we could comfortably sit on the deck.
