Our favorite place to get away.
Our family enjoyed every minute spent at this house. It was easy to get in and out of. The pool and hot tub were a great way to relax at the end of the day. There was plenty of space for 5 adults, a child and a dog. The house was clean and comfortable. It was a great home away from home

One of the Best in Corolla
This property is so amazing. The house was so clean and organized. Very comfortable living space with wonderful connecting decks on each level to enjoy the outside. The pool and hot tub were perfect and the yard was plenty big enough for outdoor fun such as their awesome corn hole custom boards! Walk to the beach was 5 minutes and a short ride to the 4 x 4 beach where you can spend the day and see the wild mustangs without paying for a tour.You do need a 4WD truck or SUV! The hosts are great people. Super responsive with questions or concerns and they have "boots on the ground" management in case you need something! I spent 2 weeks here and it felt like I was there an eternity. Can't wait to return to paradise next year!Enjoy!

Great time away I
Although the house is dog friendly, we didn’t experience dog smell, or dog hair. Loved the shuffleboard game! The house was great for my husband and I. Walk to the beach was easy and I was able to walk and watch the sunrise several times during the week. Although it was cold, I was able to enjoy the hot tub a few times. Highly recommend this property.

A relaxing Christmas
The house was very clean and had a lot to offer in the way of amenities. It was too cold to go into the ocean at that time, but the hot tub was available, and the pool could be used too if the heater is requested. Enjoyed using the propane fire pit several times, and there is a great view of the surrounding area from the highest vantage point on the deck. This is definitely a place that I would not mind returning to.

Great house, location and host!!
The house is charming, decorated nicely, super clean and has everything needed! Plenty of cookware, dishes, glasses, mugs, etc. Also, there are filters for the drip coffee maker and k-cups for the keurig already there. The house has a broom, vacuum, cleaning supplies and hair dryer in the master bath. The beds were comfy, and the shower pressure was great! We really enjoyed the hot tub and pool (although only used pool a little because weather didn't cooperate). The walk to the beach was 5 minutes through a neighborhood and there is a nice walking path right out front. The decks were nice to sit and read or have coffee and you can see the ocean from the very top deck. The house is light and bright yet feels private due to trees on the sides and the back. Amber, the host, is very responsive :) I don't have anything negative to note and we will try to stay here again in future! We didn't want to leave!

Needs a little TLC
Overall a good stay. Near the ocean (10 min walk), easy to get to Duck and shopping in Corolla. Owner Amber is very responsive when we had to contact her about issues we had during our stay. Pool and jacuzzi were clean. Lots of chairs for the pool. A lot of beach supplies but many we didn’t use. Some issues I would comment on include being woken twice by the pool cleaning company arriving at 7:00am. First time we thought maybe someone was trying break into our cars. Woke our dog who began barking and woke the whole house. After letting the owner know, it happened again the day we left. Not all the tv apps were available to us as described. Owner did say we could download the apps and she would work with us on signing in. Minor detail but guests shouldn’t have to take time out of their vacation to do these things. We had an issue with the front door lock. Appears the batteries were an issue. The owner helped us resolve the problem but again not what we wanted to have to deal with. We thought it was odd to be asked to take out the trash and trash cans to the street for the owner. Typically, from past VRBO stays, the owner or their managment company dose this when they clean the home. Some TLC…lots of mold on the outside of the home and front door, rotted siding, rusted air vents in home. Holes where left in the master bath shower wall where previously the curtain rod hung. Our dog got thorny burrs stuck in his paws, face and fur everyday from the weeds on the property.

Private and Restful
We have been coming to the Outer Banks for about ten years now. This property was perfect for our party of five. Extremely clean. Poolside extremely relaxing and private with the high wooden fences and greenery around the location. A quick five minute walk to the beach and the owners supplied everything you would need. Chairs, umbrellas, sand toys, and a couple of wagon's if needed to tow all your belongings. Owners were quick to answer any questions we had before our stay and even checked in with us a few days in to make sure we had everything we needed. The property made for a memorable stay for our family. We will definitely look to stay here again in the future. Highly recommended.

We had an amazing stay. The house was wonderful. Amber would get back to me really fast whenever I had a question or concern. My only wish was that we had a broom. The vacuum was nice but a broom would have been very helpful when we needed just a quick clean up. Other than that we had everything we needed. Our grandson feel in love with the beach toys that we could use. Thank you again for a great trip!!!!

Close to the beach, the house is a bit older but maintained fairly well. The bedding and towels were clean and decent. The AC is cold appliances up to date. Not much grass in the yard, mostly sandy. Great sidewalks for going back and forth. Try to get number for your manager as the Vrbo app kept crashing.

Perfect vacation
My husband and I stayed with our two dogs and regretted not staying two weeks! The home was very cozy. We stayed in the king bedroom and the bed was so comfortable (this is always important to us because my husband has back issues). The weather was in the low 60s the first few days but we didn’t mind because the pool was heated and so amazing to swim in and the hot tub was perfect! The walk to the beach was short so that was good! We got a pass to drive on the 4x4 beach with our Bronco and saw the wild horses and relaxed watching the ocean. Overall our stay was amazing!

The PERFECT home and location for a family vacation!
Everything about our stay here was flawless from beginning to end. The owners/ hosts are incredibly kind and knowledgeable, and they were consistently timely with communication. The home itself was very clean and its size was perfect for our family of four (it could easily accommodate more). We had everything we needed! We visited the second week in April, and the pool heater was worth every penny as we played in it every day. The adults enjoyed unwinding in the hot tub and views from all three decks. The home is located on a primary road, but we didn't notice much (if any) road noise during our stay. My daughter gives the home "ten stars," and we're in complete agreement.

After Christmas Getaway
We had a very enjoyable five night stay here! The house was exactly as pictured and checkin was super easy. The hot tub was AMAZING and the walk to the beach was short and sweet! We took in the beauty of sunrises on the beach (and finding conch shells!) and the stunning sunsets from the “tippy top” deck over the Sound. Shops were open nearby at Timbuck II and in Duck (donuts!) and we ate a delicious steamer pot to go from the Outer Banks Boil Company. Also the Wright Brothers site was a worthwhile stop! It was wonderful to have sheets and towels ready for our use as well as a washer and dryer. Thank you for lending us your home for a great family trip!
