From a very spacious house with all the amenities, to the access to the Corolla Light Resort, to the short walk/drive to the beach, it was the complete vacation package. We will definitely book here again! ##### Meridith R.

The bunk bed room I would like to mention there needs to be new mattresses in there. They were rock hard and with a bump in the middle. Nice area close to the Sound. Pool and Hot tub was nice. We enjoyed our stay. ##### Carrie C.

Perfect place for our group to use pool, hot tub, balcony space, plenty of bathrooms and beds to accommodate all. Location was ideal for pickleball and sports center. Would've loved to be a little closer to the beach, but easy public parking. Couldn't even get around to all the amenities and restaurants! ##### Betsy H.
