Wonderful Location!!!
This home is steps away from a beach access in Corolla making it super easy to walk back and forth from house to the beach. Spacious kitchen/dining/living area on the top floor made it easy to enjoy everyone's company.

Great stay
Great stay with our family. The living room and open layout was perfect for everyone to congregate. Kudos to the hosts for their great interior design in all of the rooms too! The house is a few steps from the beach entrance which made going back and forth super easy. Would definitely recommend!

Summer Stay 2023
We had an incredible time during our stay in Corolla. As advertised, the house was steps away from the beach. Newly renovated interior, kitchen is stocked with appliances and bedrooms spread out on all 3 floors (with big balconies). The house was perfect for our family (8 adults, 2 kids and a toddler). Matt was very responsive leading into our trip. We will definitely be back!

Great memorial day long weekend
Great property, we stayed over a cloudy long weekend with lots of family. It was close enough to the beach that we when we saw the conditions flag change from red to yellow, the kids grabbed their boogie boards and ran for the waves.
It was the second time we stayed at this spot, and was just as much fun as the first. Highly recommend, bright and airy place and very responsive host.
