"Beautiful updates to the kitchen!"

"Beautiful home"

"Joyful Sound was a beautiful house in a great location! We've vacationed in OBX 5 times, 3 of them in Corolla. This was the best house we stayed in! The house was clean, the kitchen was equipped with EVERYTHING you could possibly need and the top floor was big and spacious! Even though there were two refrigerators in this house, the only bad thing I could say that I would've liked a bigger refrigerator in the kitchen and wished that the ice maker worked. We just went out and bought ice right outside the complex at the Citgo Gas Station (not a big deal). One of our family members had an issue with the their bathroom and Village Realty sent someone right away to fix the problem. Also, I had to call Village Realty because their wasn't any propane for the gas grill and they came and resolved that within hours, so we were able to grill that night, when we came back from the beach. This house is approximately a 1/2 mile from the 4 x 4 beach where you can drive on to see the Wild Horses. We also were able to use the Community parking lot with the passes given to us in our Village Realty packet which was easy access to the beach and close to the house. Village Realty also gives you passes for everyone in your party to have access to the restrooms and community pool which is conveniently located right as you enter the beach. Having the pool right there by the beach was wonderful, especially on the days that the ocean was high tide and too rough to swim. Joyful Sound was in a very quiet location and we really didn't have any neighbors near us all week. However, we did have a slight problem with the next door neighbors. They obviously own the house next to where we were staying and we hauled a small 5 x 8 Uhaul trailer to carry everything we needed. We parked it in our driveway to left of our house, out of our way but I guess the neighbors didn't like seeing it when they came out of their house. I received a call from Village Realty asking us very nicely to please move it because there was a complaint about where we parked it. We had to move it to under the front of the house, due to HOA rules that we knew nothing about and the next day, the neighbors left for the rest of the week and never came back. We got there on Saturday, they complained, and we moved it on Sunday and by Monday, we realized they were gone. As far as I am concerned, that was just so unnecessary!!!!! In my opinion, Village Realty has been the best compared to all the others that we have rented through. They were very nice, accommodating and very quick to resolve any issues we had. 5 stars to the Joyful Sound house and to Village Realty!!! Christina, NJ"
