'Bikini Bottom' Invites You to Relax and Play By the Sea

We just returned from our second stay at this beautiful home, and once again, it didn’t disappoint. The house is very well maintained, clean, and has everything you need for a relaxing getaway.During our stay, there was an unexpected issue with the air conditioning, but the owner was incredibly responsive and worked quickly to resolve it while we were still there. They kept in communication with us throughout the process and even provided compensation for the inconvenience, which we really appreciated.It’s clear the owner takes great pride in the property and genuinely cares about the comfort of their guests. We had a great experience both times we’ve stayed.

We’re a family of 5 and we stayed at Bikini Bottom for a week. Michelle was an exceptional hostess and was so prompt in answering all our questions. The house is stunning, clean, modern, and steps from beautiful Carova Beach. The pool and hot tub are 10/10! Can’t say enough great things about our experience here, we loved it so much we’re booking again for next year! The house has everything you will need, including a fully stocked kitchen, beach gear, and lots of space to spread out while relaxing at the house. Our favorites this week included sunrises on the beach (a must!!!), the wild horses everywhere (we saw them every day!!!), the pool and hot tub area and boating and jet skiing in town. Make sure you have a 4x4 as it’s several miles to reach the house. My husband really enjoyed driving on the beach, seeing the wild horses made it a fun adventure. Overall an excellent rental, highly recommend if you want something a little more quiet and secluded!!!

This house was absolutely perfect for our family of 10 and left us wanting for nothing. From the short walk to the gorgeous beach, multiple decks from which to enjoy the view (including sunrises!), including a lovely screened-in porch with cozy seating, comfortable beds in the spacious bedrooms, wonderful pool and hot tub and well-stocked kitchen, we wanted for nothing during our stay. We found every kind of cookware and pans that we could have needed which is a big deal for a family that likes to cook like we do. We saw the horses daily on the beach, the walk to the beach and hanging out near the house. Michelle was readily available and responsive and a terrific host. A few insights to share - one, while we we were able to navigate the dune in our Subarus (Ascent and Outback), if you have the option to get there in a vehicle with higher clearance I would definitely suggest going that route. We were fortunate not to get stuck (experience driving in unplowed snow helped!) but all of the vehicles we did see requiring a tow were similar to ours. Two, the dune drive makes getting to and from town a bit of an undertaking so stock up on all of your groceries on the way if you can (truthfully, we didn't want to leave anyways!). Also, be forewarned that the traffic can be no joke. Three, make sure you plan to get up early at least a couple of mornings to watch the sunrise - it is WELL worth it! Finally, do not hesitate to book this property - you will not regret it!

We had a wonderful week at Bikini Bottom. The location was great, once we realized we had booked a 4x4 beach house. SURPRISE! That mistake was 100% my fault and I’m so glad I made that “mistake”. It was an adventure and we would do it again. The pool was a wonderful amenity, as was the screened porch. The owners were in communication with us the entire week but not in an intrusive way. Have your cameras ready to take pictures of the wild horses.

We stayed at Bikini Bottom with our entire family of 10. The house was very spacious and provided lots of outdoor space as well! The house was very clean and the kitchen was stocked very well! We were apprehensive about the 9 mile drive in the sand but it turned out to be very manageable! Michelle was probably the most responsive host we’ve ever had! She responded to questions any time we asked! She went above and beyond to help with recommendations! We Would highly recommend this house for any family looking for complete relaxation!

Everything was what my entire group expected and we couldn't be happier woth our stay.

The vacation house is very accommodating and close to the beach. We had a the best week here and Michelle always answered quickly if we had any questions!

We had the best time! We had an issue with water that was out of the control of the owner, but she was very quick to respond and had the issue handled and fixed extremely quickly! We were very impressed on how quickly the issue was resolved! We had a mix of kids with us ages 2, 6, 7, 8, and 10 and they all had fun. We would definitely love to stay again some time in the future.

If you want to get away from it all, this is the house for you. Nine miles down a four-wheel-drive-only beach, which is seriously daunting the first few times. Don't worry, though. By the end of your stay, you'll be a pro. A couple days before checkin, I got a text from the owner, welcoming us, if you need anything, etc. It was a big relief having direct communication with her, and she was very prompt in her responses. We had two adults, four teens, and a tween staying in this house, and we were very comfortable, didn't feel at all like we were on top of each other all the time. This is the first time in my many years of renting vacation homes that I actually felt like I was living in a home. The kitchen had everything we needed and then some. Foil, cooking spray, sandwich bags, flashlights, food storage containers, and more. There were tons of books, board games, and coloring books with crayons. Lots of beach chairs, sand toys, and pool toys. We did try out the kayak with success! The only thing I would have liked better would be restaurants nearby. This is only a personal thing, I realize, but I really don't like to cook on vacation. There are restaurants in Corolla, but they are a half hour one way away, down the nine miles of bumpy beach. Luckily, there is also a great grocery store in Corolla. In all, this house was amazing!! We loved it so much and really didn't want to leave.

There’s a lot with the cleaning service that is lacking. We also only got one parking pass and after contacting the owners no solution to a second pass was relayed. There were items that didn’t work or were broken. There were just several items that stacked up for us that made for a disappointing trip.
