8 / 10Excellent·May 2026
The house was nice and clean and close to several restaurants, Food Lion, and other shops in Corolla. My kids enjoyed the pool and we had a fun time. Very little household items are provided, so visitors will need to bring their own.
8 / 10Excellent·Aug 2024
The house was perfect for our family of 8. We all enjoyed the pool and spending time together. Some things in the house are a bit dated and it could use painting inside and out. But not a bid deal. The rental company was very responsive to my calls and answered questions quickly. We would stay there again, but really want something on the beach next time.
6 / 10Average·Jul 2024
The beds were comfortable and the space fit the needs of our group.
Upon arrival we noticed some small issues and replied to an email that was received wanting to know about the cleanliness. As it was Sunday, a response was not expected. Sunday evening, we tried to use the oven and smoke just billowed out. Luckily there was a toaster oven that met our needs. Monday morning, I called to discuss the issued emailed and the issue with the oven. I was told that the oven was a major issue and that a technician would be sent out that day. Tuesday morning I called again to get a status update as no one showed up. I had to leave a message. I never got a call back nor did anyone come out to address the issues. Highly disappointing!
The home is in need of some TLC, there were blinds missing on the door in the upstairs queen bedroom, the shingles by the pool had chipped paint and the bathrooms and kitchen were dated.
