Great Relaxation
This property was cozy and well suited for our first family vacation to the OBX. We had one issue which was addressed promptly by Matt the owner and a kind gesture by the owners as well. Which we appreciated. The house was only a few minutes from the beach which we loved. We would definitely stay here again on the future.

Lovely
Our stay started a little rough as the cleaning people were still present when we arrived after our check in time, and left a bit of a mess in their haste. But the owners were responsive and friendly. The home was well fitted and cared for, and you can tell the owners have pride in the home.

Fantastic place with everything you need!
Property was great family and kids had a cantastic time!
The house was just the right size for our 2 families (12 guests).
It was equipped with all you'd need while there, so much so, that we could have saved packing so many items. One of the best we've been to.
House is cute and charming, there is plenty of entertainment for the kiddos with games and puzzles.
We were visited multiple times by the wild horses. The locals were friendly, we cant wait to return!

Perfect Getaway
I have stayed at a few houses in Corova. Large, small, pricey, cheap, however this house was perfect for my family and I. The home was absolutely beautiful, cozy and relaxing. We had privacy and plenty of yard for my 2 labs to roam and do their thing. The house was well stocked with everything that's needed for a remote vacation. Plenty of games to entertain the kids including cornhole. It was clean, tidy and lacked nothing. I loved that the home supplied beach chairs as well. Less stuff to pack up and bring with me to the beach! Looking forward to booking again after all the reservations have been completed over the winter :)

Wonderful stay.
We really enjoyed our stay at this property. It was exactly what we wanted - a beautiful house away from the main tourist area. Beware your GPS. For some reason, maps took us to a community a couple miles south. We had a small hiccup checking in, but the owners graciously made up for it. The rest of the vacation was complete bliss. We’d drive out onto the beach at mile marker 23.5 everyday and have fun. I made a few trips to town to the seafood and farmers market and cooked in the beautiful kitchen with very nice appliances and a gas range. As a professional chef, I was ecstatic when I saw the kitchen, since we like to do the majority of our own cooking during ocean vacations. We had a ton of fun, and lazy time, on the wrap around deck. All in all we would 100% go back again.

Nice Place
The house was very up to date and clean. Exactly as described. It had everything we needed from in the kitchen to chairs for the beach. The only negative was it was pretty far down the beach so the drive to town was a little lengthy, but if you're looking for seclusion it is great.

Great house
We really enjoyed our stay. Seeing the horses everywhere was wonderful! The House was perfect for our stay! Plenty of decking all around! Kitchen was great, love the appliances! Bedrooms a little small but who stays in the bedroom while on vacation?
The only frustration was finding the house, neither Google Maps nor Mapquest could get you there! Specific directions when you get onto the beach would have saved us an hour of time searching and trying to find the house especially when you've been on the road for hours! Be sure NOT to go at High Tide!!
It would be more helpful if the Island had more road signs, but that has nothing to do w/ the house!
Wonderful House!!

First time at Corolla. Definitely a must return. House was practically new. Love the kitchen appliances. Comfy beds. Very quiet and peaceful setting.

Awesome adventure away from it all!
This was our first time to the area and it’s absolutely beautiful. We “unplugged” and enjoyed the gorgeous beach where we walked for hours. Enjoyed all of the wildlife: beautiful horses hanging out in the yard, dolphin sightings, deer...loved sitting out on the deck at night gazing at the stars...the owner is awesome and super responsive. This is just what we needed and we will be back! House has everything and good to get your groceries before arriving so you can just “be still” and unwind...

Great Vacation!!
We had a wonderful time on this vacation. House was beautiful and Chris was quick to respond on any questions or issues. Perfect for one family or 2 couples! Hope to be back again next year!
