"Our stay at this Corolla Beach home was wonderful! The house was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. The kitchen was well stocked, the beds were comfortable, and there was plenty of space for everyone to spread out.The location was perfect—just a short walk to the beach, with beautiful views and a quiet, peaceful atmosphere. We loved spending our days on the beach and our evenings relaxing back at the house. definitely make sure you have a 4 x 4 and not just all-wheel-drive."

"The house was very clean. The kitchen had all the necessary items, including a grill on the deck right off the kitchen. They provided toilet paper, paper towels, shampoo, conditioner, dish washer pods and laundry detergent. These items were very much appreciated. The house was decorated nicely and the beds were very comfortable. The drive to the beach was very short, making it easy to come back during the day as needed. The outside shower was perfect for rinsing off the sand when returning from the beach. We saw horses in the front yard and on the beach. Overall it was a great trip for our family!"

"We had a great time here. The The house was beautiful and the bedrooms and bathrooms were spacious and all of my family loved it and had a great time. The furniture was very comfortable and two of the bedrooms had an adjacent bathroom equipped with a jetted bathtub which a few of us enjoyed. It was great having access to the beach through the gazebo and walkway attached to it. It was very private there and although there were other people on the beach it was by no means crowded and we had a vast area to ourselves. The pool was excellent and with the weather so nice we spent a lot of time at the ocean and in the swimming pool. The host was nice and was very responsive. We had a portion of a day where the electricity went out on the whole island and we contacted the host to see what was going on and she got back to us right away to let us know what was happening. We had a few other times where we had to contact her and she was always prompt and responsive. If you plan to come down make sure that you have a good 4 x 4 vehicle because you are driving a good six or 7 miles I think on the beach to get to the property. You generally have to drive about 15 to 25 miles an hour depending on the beach conditions so it can be a good 45 minutes to get to the home."
