Everything was perfect except the pool there was no pool available.
You should take off the ad about the pool. If I had know I would have gotten a place with a pool. Everything was fantastic the place was perfect and 300 steps to the Beach.

Great house and great location
We loved this house and how close it was to the beach. The community was cute and safe and kids loved riding their bikes around. The pond was also a huge hit and we enjoyed feeding the turtles. Literally the only downfall was not having a private pool but it didn't matter greatly as it was super easy to get to the beach.

Very relaxing
Prime location! Close to shops and the beach. Loved the open floor plan for the kitchen & living room upstairs. The deck has a nice small view of the ocean that can even be seen from the hot tub. Would definitely stay here again!

Nice place near the beach in Corolla.
This is a nice house near the beach and in general was a good place for our families to get together and enjoy a week in the Outer Banks. Our only comment is that it looked as though a previous renter had a dog that had been on the bed in the main bedroom. We had to shake out the comforter and use a roller to get rid of the little white dog hair. Overall, it didn’t feel as though the house had been cleaned the way we expected it to have been, but it was acceptable. I would recommend this rental for its proximity to the beach and its capacities for a larger group.

Awesome place with a short walk to the beach
We loved every part of it other than not having our own pool. Lol we intended on using the community pool but with COVID 19 going on it was shut down. But great place!
