Summer Winds - Corolla, Whalehead, 300 Yds to Beach, Elevator, Pool, Hot Tub, Pets OK

We had a wonderful stay at this beach house! The elevator and close proximity to the beach made it so easy to get around with kids and gear. The home itself was very spacious, with large bedrooms, a great kitchen stocked with plenty of pots, pans, and dishes, and a back deck layout perfect for relaxing. We especially enjoyed the larger pool, and the quick response when the grill ran out of propane was much appreciated. Having sheets and towels provided was also a big convenience.A few small things could make the stay even better: a larger dining table would be ideal for big family dinners (we had to push a few together to make it work), potholders were missing from the kitchen, and the pool does get shaded in the afternoon. It would also be nice to have a bit more silverware and more hooks around the pool area for wet towels.Overall, this was a great house for a family beach getaway—comfortable, spacious, and so close to the ocean. We’d definitely recommend it and would stay again!

We loved the number of private bathrooms, the pool, hot tub, and the living area. I’d recommend adding to the coffee pot description what size filters would be needed. Over all we really enjoyed our stay, but wish it was a little cleaner.

All the well furnished decks were most enjoyable. The beach is a short walk and groceries and shopping are nearby. The furnishings were all in good condition, and overall the house was quite clean, until you looked under the beds🫣.

Some details were overlooked (blankets, not needed, were balled up in the closets. Pot holders are filthy. The gas grill was a disaster (all clean now)). Can not sweet the small stuff.

Other than some slow-moving drains and normal wear you would expect the last week of the season, the house is exactly as you see it in the pictures. The only problem we had was cooking for a large group because the stove top burners were not working properly - took forever to boil water. There is a similar comment from a prior year so hopefully it will be fixed/replaced. The house is now well stocked with ice cube trays we purchased and left in the freezer since there is no ice maker in the house. We have vacationed in OBX for years but this year needed an elevator for our mom and we were relieved that it enabled her to move around the house with ease. We are definitely considering renting this house again next year.

We booked it for next year before we left!!!

Pool, media room, and volleyball court was perfect for my family! Kitchen was well stocked for our families. We like to cook. Bedrooms were great with king size beds and own bathrooms. The only thing we would have wanted was a long dining room table. Our family likes to all eat together. The elevator was great to have for groceries and family members that recently had surgery. Parking was great. I would recommend this house to family and friends and would definitely rent it again. Friendly customer service! Trey and Megan were especially helpful!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Summer Winds has private bath with each bedroom, close to the beach access road. The kitchen has one fridge, dishwasher, oven stove and microwave, not enough for large groups. (house could accommodate 22)Dishwasher made a noise that was heard loudly in the bedroom below.The most disappointing thing was the house was generally dirty. One bathroom was not cleaned at all. There was urine stains on the seat, tooth past and hair in the sink. Sliding door on one bedroom was laying on the concrete deck. Outside there was a broken chaise and baby gate. Grill had not drip pan so hardened oils were piled under the grill. There was mold on shower curtains and a blob of mold on the counter near the sink. Rooms with berber rugs were stained and pulled. Dryer did not turn off automatically and the support for one bed in the lowest level broke. What is most disappointing was that many of these issues are noted in prior reviews. The minimum improvement would be to make sure the house is clean!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I was notified that the house was ready at 1:47pm but when we arrived the pass code didn't work. When I called the office I found out the code wouldn't work until 4pm. We found hair and grime in a few bathrooms but they sent cleaners right over to take care of it. The pool area was a mess but that was because the previous renters left it a mess. My daughter had hair in her bed. We had to buy a shower liner because one of the bathrooms had just the material curtain. My daughters shower curtain had some mold on it.We loved the layout of the house. The internet was horrid and no ice machines were working. I see in a previous review the rental Co. replied that the owner were looking into getting a ice nachine. I guess they decided against it. Despite a rough start but our family had a great time in the end.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great family vacation. Good location to the beach. Very spacious open area for big group. All the bedrooms were very good size. Only negative was with the cleaning service. Property was missing some linens, one room looked like it was not cleaned at all, and overall house could have been cleaner. However with that said property management responded quickly and rectified linen situation and was more than willing to assist.
