Oceanside, 5 BRs, Community Amenities, Keyless Entry, VOH2, Corolla Del Mar

Enough space to fit 6 adults and great access to all of Corolla

Was nice..trash was left in driveway full..a peice of door trim was in middle of floor upstairs. And the beds were all very hard and uncomfortable..other then those issues it was a nice place to visit. Our first family vacation in a long time. We researched a bit more once we were down there and would probably visit this area again every summer...for the price we believe there other properties a bit nicer with some amenities we would enjoy. Thanks

I’ll start with the negatives. We got a call at 1, the day of arrival that the AC didn’t work on the first and second floor, that they were working on it and would install window units. That was fine, except one bedroom didn’t have a unit and got very hot bc the other guests didn’t want to leave their bedroom doors open. AC was worked on every other day by someone but never fixed. Upon arrival at 520pm, keep in mind check in is at 4, we arrived to the house at the same time as the cleaners. We were told we couldn’t come in until it was clean and it would only take 20 minutes. They left and the house wasn’t cleaned well as they weren’t there long. Neither set of bunk beds had bedding on it, just tossed onto it. Cabinet doors broke off 24 hours in, put in a repair order and it took a few days to get it repaired. Bugs. There is a huge bug issue in this house. Cockroaches, spiders, ants. I asked neighbors if they had a problem with bugs and even my sister who stayed on the 4x4 beach and both said no. My daughter went to get a towel from her room and s cockroach crawled out of it. Outdoor shower had crushed beer cans in it and swim suits from the last guests. Pool is only open 10-6. Positives - there were bikes, beach chairs , umbrellas, boogie boards, which was great. The view was great, bedrooms spacious. 10 minute walk to the beach or to the pool and a short drive from the store. We will most likely pick another house next year.

Great time in Corolla. House close to beach, bike riding a pleasure on well kept roads. A few minute drive to nice places for food & drinks. “Food Lion” close for any forgotten necessities or treats. Brindley made our reservation process very simple. Make sure you visit the horses.

We had an amazing time. We loved our house

Check in was terrible, they didn’t let me know when it was ready, so we finally just went at 6:00 and got in, poor communication, and I got charged fees from both VRBO and Brindley, probably won’t get through them again

Great communication. Some updates needed but overall great time

For the price and location I have no complaints. As a vacation property owner myself its clear that this home is owned by an investment organization. Weeds were overgrown, green mildew on home, cobwebs, outdated furniture, tv's and appliances. Spend 10-15K and modernize the home and some TLC.

Lightbulbs burned out. Fan not working. These were taken care of when we informed the agency. Washer's handle was broken. Kitchen was not stocked well. Painting or staining the front steps would make a great improvement to the exterior appeal.

Cleanliness was our biggest concern, after reading review, but it was OK. Not great, but how 16,000 rentals get cleaned in six hours, I'll never know. The biggest issue/benefit of this property is the location. It is about a thousand feet from the Currituck Reserves, which makes for an amazing wildlife experience. However, the traffic getting in and out is insane. During the week, if it rains, the traffic on route 12 is a complete standstill. Be prepared, plan to walk or bike a lot, and schedule activities for off-hours as much as possible. For the negatives of the congestion, our vacation was absolutely amazing. My large family had a great time, lived on the beach, dined at home a lot, and went for excursions every other day. Being so far north, there is tons of room on the beaches and local activities. It was the most relaxing vacation we have had, probably ever.
