Landes Dream: Private Pool & Hot Tub, Putting Green, Volleyball

This house needs some proper care and maintenance. Prior to and during our arrival there was heavy rain in the area. When we entered the house we found the ceiling actively leaking in one of the bedrooms onto one of the beds. It appeared that this was not the first time this leak occurred as a piece of that part of the ceiling was cracked and missing. We notified the emergency maintenance manager for Village Realty, due to the late hour, who had someone come out the next day only to tell us they needed a roofer to look at it. We also noticed that the house was not clean, especially the floors. There was a layer of sand all over the floors on the entire top level as well as pieces of broken glass. Most of the surfaces of the house seem to be in need of a deep clean, most noticeably things like hand rails and door knobs. No one from the office called us to check in about the leaking ceiling so I mentioned the lack of cleaning when I reached out to them in the morning. They offered to have someone from housekeeping come over and clean, but did not seem too concerned about any of the inconvenience we had to deal with to that point. Housekeeping was very nice and the difference was obvious when they were done cleaning. We did not allow these issues to ruin our first OBX trip though. I will say that the location was great, even with the walk to the beach being a decent hike (the beach access on Dolphin is stairs only by the way). We really enjoyed the pool as well as the hot tub. The grill they provide is charcoal so be prepared for that. Also, you will only find pots, pans and dishes in the kitchen, so bring all of your own ingredients down to the salt and pepper.

Great location and value for price. Nice to find single family home in Corolla so well appointed. Pool and hot tub were clean and pivotal to our experience. House was surface clean but floors needed a mopping. Also, ac on bedroom level smelled strongly of mildew and was concerning. Realtor was very responsive and came to try to assist quickly. Would recommend and rent this property and realtor again!

What a great family home! Had everything we needed and a wonderful pool. Walking distance to the shops and a 5 minute walk to the beach. Had an amazing trip with my family and enjoyed the beautiful home with many nice touches throughout.

We had a great time!! Pool was used everyday...love the seats in the pool!! House was perfect for all of us. The house had everything we needed and felt right at home. Rental office was wonderful...had an issue with the AC not working and they were here within a few hours to fix. Love the Corolla area! Thank you for letting us enjoy your home! PS- Loved looking at the photo album of when there was hardly any homes in the area and horses could just walk up to the house. Just amazing how developed this area has become over the last 30 years!

Great pool and comfy beds. Bathrooms need an update but are clean and the whole house is appointed with thoughtful items from owner. A bit dated but great location and has everything you need.

Close to everything. The pool and hot tub were enjoyable. All of the amenities we needed. My family was very comfortable here.

Great location, nice pool and hot tub, attentive rental office, comfortable house. Our family loved our beach vacation!

Great place. Needs a new hot tub.
