Outstanding Ocean Views! Simple Beach Cottage On Private Sand Road In Corolla

The house location, for us, was perfect. We have 3 kiddos and the location was great in regard to privacy and very little to no traffic. Super close to the beach which made traveling to/from with 3 little kids so nice & easy. Definitely need 4wd just to make it easier on you and your vehicle. Communication with the host was easy and efficient, when needed! Everything is as described/pictured. We would definitely stay again!

The house was your typical beach house which is what we like. You definitely need 4 wheel drive, which we had, but still got stuck. 400 for a tow. Close walk to the beach with beautiful views from the second floor deck of the house. Great outside grill. Awesome to see the ponies. The owner lives in the next house. She watches the rental house very closely. So that’s a bit unnerving. She contacted us two times, one time in person once on the phone. I know she meant well, but at the same time feels invasive. Make sure you arrive during daylight so it is easier to find the house. Also, since we have never been there, we didn’t realize how much traffic is driving on the beach. Overall good time.

My wife and I stayed at Angi's beach cottage and it was the best vacation we ever had. First time in OBX. Cottage was perfect for us it was simple, secluded and the scenery was breathtaking. Horses visited often day/night. We fell in love with OBX Smooth Sailing exceeded my expectations in everyway.

Great location...horses visited often, great views, close to beach...allows dogs!

Good

Our trip was great. We loved the 4x4 beach and the wild horses. The house was a great location and the host having a beach parking permit and 5 gallon water jug was so nice. Not sure who cleans the house but it doesn’t get cleaned well. In the kitchen above cabinets and ceilings had loads of dust and cobwebs. All pictures in the house haven’t been dusted in a very long time either. I also have never stayed somewhere where they didn’t provide bed sheets or towels so that was a big inconvenience to bring our own because I wasn’t paying over 100 for sheets and towels. The pine tree hanging over the outside stairs needs trimmed because we kept getting hit in the face going up to the second floor. Over all our stay was great but the property has been neglected some.

We are older so the stairs were a little tough for us. The beds were not comfortable for us either. The view was spectacular. It was really had to find the first time. The manager responded to every request very quickly. There was a bug frozen in the freezer.

Great location and communication with property manager. The house is good size for single family. It has a rustic and beach vibe decor. Although I prefer white simple decor. The furniture is comfortable. The mattress and bed linen could use an update. The place is clean enough but can use a good full house cleaning.

This property was amazing. Secluded enough to feel comfortable and safe but within a few miles of shops and dining. The wild horses come to the house everyday and the ocean view is amazing. Driving on the beach is a unique experience. We will return for sure and Angi was a pleasure to work with. Kathleen C

Smooth sailing is a peaceful gem on the 4x4 beach. We love the location. Sitting on the deck or in the sun room is magical. You can only hear the sounds of the waves and the birds. We saw 4 wild horses in yard on our last day!!! Truly a wonderful place to stay. The house is nothing special/fancy, but it has character and is well equipped with everything you may need!
