We loved the open kitchen/living room with the bedroom & bathroom close by. We loved the upper deck, the short walk to the beach. Loved the roominess of the bathrooms & bedrooms. The kitchen is well stocked. We love how the sofa & carpet are well - worn & loved....from years of families enjoying their stay at this house in Corolla.

Two blocks from beach and any amenities you want. Pool, hot tub, volleyball court, ping pong table, good for beach and non beach days.

This house is the perfect size for our family, plenty of room to stretch out, swim, cook, read, be together without being confined. The walk to the beach is the perfect length, the kids enjoyed pulling their wagons to the beach. The house is comfortable, well loved, and the aged carpets reflect that.

We felt comfortable the moment we entered the house. Our favorite room was the great room where we spent time together making & enjoying meals. The kids could be playing inside or out on the beautiful deck. The pool area was nice also, keeping the small children safe. The house had plenty of room, was well stocked, and clean as a beach house can be. The location is perfect, loved the walks to the beach. The carpet is old & worn, but shows the steps of many beach goers that have stayed at this wonderful home. Could use a dustpan!

This is a lovely house. Very spacious. It has everything you need to have a good time whether you have a family with lots of kids or a large group of adults. It is so centrally located that the beach, shopping , or golf are just a quick walk or car ride away. The kitchen has all the implements you need to whip up a meal and the gas grill is very nice and easy to use.

Perfectly located - close to the beach, close to the shopping center, and close to Timbuk II! Plenty of room to spread out and enjoy all the amenities the house has to offer. Pool, hot tub, and deck area are fantastic for enjoying the afternoon sun. We've stayed here 4 times in the past 6 years and will continue to rent if we come back to OBX!
