Corolla Adventures Right Outside Your Door!

I will start by saying that the view to the lake beautiful, especially from the third floor. There are many turtles in the lake and it’s a nice walk to enjoy. Upon arriving the first day, the 3rd floor was 88 degrees and there was no air circulating. I did contact the homeowner and she responded quickly and called the HVAC company who unfortunately did not arrive until Tuesday morning so we had to spend 3 whole days in sweating heat. They did however replace the system and from that moment on it was cool on the 3rd floor. The layout of the house isn’t the best for kids, as the bunk area is on the bottom floor of the home, with direct access to the outside and the pool area. It is specified that the pool is to be cleaned on Saturday and Wednesday but no one came on Wednesday, and there is no skimmer to remove any debris yourself. The TV on this floor did not work either so we didn’t use that sitting area at all. Midway through the week we did find a cockroach climbing the walls of the bottom floor, not sure where he came from. Now onto the second floor, or main area of the home, since the kitchen and living room are there. Unfortunately there are no blinds or curtains in the living area so it’s very difficult to watch tv when the sun is blazing into that room. I understand the beach homes are meant to enjoy the sun but a few blinds so you can control the light yourself would be beneficial. The windows throughout need updating also.

Elysha was an amazing host! Her beautiful house was perfect for our family vacation and the location to the beach was an easy walk, even for small children. We hope to return next year

The Property and layout of the home was great. Communication re issues that arose during our stay tainted our experience somewhat. Several individually minor issues, when looked at in total, suggest the owner and host need to pay more attention to the details. An example - two sinks were nearly plugged and took 10 plus minutes to drain very slowly. The same for one of the showers. Not sure how the cleaners could not notice the condition of the drains when cleaning the bathrooms.

Beautiful location and accurately listed. The host was very communicative and responsive. There was a storm one evening and the next day a lot of debris was in the pool. I contacted her to see about cleaning it sooner and she had someone out there the same day. The layout of the house is perfect for a family with teens. We enjoyed using the kitchen to cook a few meals and had a good time walking to the nearby shops a few mornings. The beach is an easy 10 minute walk also and beautiful location. Overall a relaxing and enjoyable trip to OBX. Would recommend this property and give the host 5 stars.

The house was very clean and well maintained. Beds were comfortable. The only disappointment was the pool area. The lounge chairs were a bit rickety and some cushions were missing and what cushions were there were worn and moldy in the creases. I honestly dont blame the home owners. I blame the maintenance team they have watching the house. I let homeowners know and they appreciated the info.

The house was great! Access to the beach was a little challenging with younger kids but it was still a nice walk. Only downside was no broom or vacuum to keep the house tidy through the week and the 3rd floor got very warm at night as we couldn’t change the temp any lower than 70.

The property was very nice and pretty clean. I would suggest getting window air conditioner units for the upstairs bedroom very hot up there. And they need some dish towels. Kitchen very well stocked.

Overall we had a fantastic time. The pool and hot tub perfectly fit our family's needs. The house is set back at the end of the street so there are two neighbors but it is very secluded still. The hosts are great to communicate with. Some areas needed work. 1. The house was not very clean. Very dusty, you could tell the filter in the house had not been changed in a very long time. Lots of very large cobwebs inside the house. We were required to clean the countertops and tables, and vacuum before we unpacked. We all developed a cough that stopped once at home. 2. Ants Ants Ants, everywhere. There should be some continued services for this. 3. If you have a hard time with stairs, do not choose this property. Very steep stairs. 4. The AC in the Master was not working very well. It was by far the hottest room in the house. 5. All of the shower curtains are moldy. 6. The fire alarm kept going off at weird times. 7. The short walk to the beach was not at all. It was a long walk, especially with kids. Positives 1. Pool and Hot Tub were GREAT! 2. Washer and Dryer worked great too! 3. Pool table was fun. 4. All appliances worked well. 5. Lots of room in the house, comfort for the families. 6. Property owners are very responsive.

Overrall it was a nice house and fairly spacious for our group. The only thing we weren't happy about was the roaches in the grill and the hot tub was not working right. We enjoyed using the pool table and the ping pong table alot at our stay. The pool was great for the kids as well when we did get in.

Our family really enjoyed everything about this home. The baby gates were an added bonus. The owner was very responsive to any of our questions. Plenty of room, nice layout. I would recommend staying here.
