First time visiting the Outer Banks and what a great experience. This house had everything you need to enjoy a family vacation without having to leave to find stuff to do for the kids. Our host Matthew was excellent and was on top of everything from checking in to making sure our trip went smoothly.

Family Vacation

We loved our stay here. The house and property was absolutely amazing for our family of 14! So many amenities at the house and the short walk to beach was perfect. Matthew was so helpful and gave us so much info for the area. We will definitely be back soon!! 15/10 in our books. Gem of the Ocean will forever be a favorite!

The host was incredibly welcoming and responsive, providing clear check-in instructions and great local recommendations.The space was well-equipped with everything needed for a relaxing stay, from a fully stocked kitchen to cozy linens and towels. I especially appreciated the attention to small details that made it feel like home.The location was ideal—quiet and peaceful, yet conveniently steps away from the beach, close to shops, restaurants, and attractions.I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great experience. Thank you for a fantastic stay!

50th Wedding Anniversary

Gem of the Ocean property was perfect for our family. Plenty of room inside with nice amenities. The back yard was the gem for us with the pool, hot tub, putting green, corn hole and a volley ball court we used for ladder golf. There was also plenty of areas in the backyard for shade or sun bathing which ever you were in the mood for. . Access to the beach was right across the street which gave us multiple options everyday. Matthew the owner was very accessible and gave us very informative, detailed insights to the house and surrounding area before our trip.

Gem of the Ocean

The house was nice and the weather was great. Short walk to the beach. The house has many bees by the pool which was difficult with the children even with cans of bug spray. The house needed better cleaning by staff.. we had to clean the floors and clean items like the coffee pot upon arrival. Many cob webs throughout.

First Family Vacation at the Beach

This was one of our best vacations ever! We brought the entire family to this awesome beach retreat! The beach was easy to access by a short walk across a dead end, very low traffic street and then across the boardwalk. The beach was very private just the few families that were staying in the surrounding houses, no public access which was great! The house had so much to do, that the kids weren't really too interested in the beach until the last day! The place was exactly as advertised with a few upgrades as well. Matthew our host was very responsive before we the vacation started which made us very comfortable throughout our stay! We couldn't have chosen a better spot to spend our beach vacation! If we come to OBX again, I will definitely be staying here! Thank you Matthew for keeping such a nice house for us to rent! I have rentals as well and I know it's not easy to keep them up.

The property is exactly as the pictures show, very clean, well equipped, and well kept. The Pool Deck was absolutely amazing with something for everyone. The beach access is directly across the driveway which makes trips to and from the beach painless. The property owner/host was extremely helpful and responsive. We had a minor issue with the oven function and Matthew was on it immediately. My family can't wait to return.

Our families had an absolutely incredible stay at this beautiful Corolla beach house over Memorial Day weekend! Even though our trip was far too short, the home exceeded every expectation and quickly became one of our favorite vacation rentals ever.The house was spotless, spacious, and perfectly designed for large groups like ours. With four families staying together, we had plenty of room to spread out while still enjoying quality time together. The layout was ideal, the bedrooms were comfortable, and the common areas made it easy for everyone to relax, cook, play games, and make unforgettable memories.The location truly could not have been better — just a short walk to the beach and easy access for both kids and adults. The pool, hot tub, volleyball court, mini golf and outdoor spaces were huge hits with everyone, especially after long beach days. Every detail of the home felt thoughtfully prepared to make guests feel welcome and comfortable.What stood out most was how effortlessly the property brought everyone together. Morning coffee on the deck, evenings by the pool, family dinners, and laughter throughout the house made this trip incredibly special for all of us.We genuinely wished we had booked a longer stay and are already talking about coming back again in the future — next time for much longer! Highly recommend this property for large families or groups looking for a relaxing, fun and memorable OBX getaway.

Great stay at an awesome place

The property is conveniently located with public beach access within very close and convenient proximity. This rental property is designed to delight the tenants just as if they are the owners themselves. Specifically, lots of attention to details, modern appliances, and beautiful landscaping with well thought out amenities like volley ball court and putt putt golf . Details, details, details. Last but not least, Matthew Kelley is an awesome property manager. He is very responsive, helpful, and professional. No complaints throughout during our one-week stay whatsoever. Thanks much Matthew!

Great stay for a week

I would only say to not book this property because we liked it so much and don’t want anyone else to book it ahead of us next year. Location was great! House had plenty of room for groups to gather so that everyone was not on top of one another. Blinds or some type of window covering of the windows in the kitchen would help with the late day sun. Matthew was a great host and very helpful. I only gave the accuracy of the booking two stars because of VRBO. They had listed the availability as short or long of a time that you wanted. We booked it for a Friday to Friday rental. Matthew called a day or two after the booking to let me know that the property was only Saturday to Saturday. We were able to change our schedule to accommodate. I do NOT blame this on the host! Matthew was great and very helpful with everything we needed during our stay. Will definitely look to book again in the future.

Truly, this house is a gem in every sense of the word! Everything about the home is as listed and more. The home is super well kept and updated, the kitchen is incredibly well stocked with cooking supplies, and the beds and bathrooms are all super clean and comfortable. Beyond all of this, though, are the amenities at the house from the hot tub, to the pool, the incredible backyard with volleyball court and putting green, BBQ, and huge area for all to enjoy and relax! Plus just a 30 second walk down the private walkway basically at the end of the driveway to the beach. It really couldn’t be any better. The owners are absolutely wonderful and incredibly responsive if there are any needs whatsoever, which we really didn’t have any!! We couldn’t give this home any higher of a recommendation. Thank you for having us!

Perfect house

This house was everything we needed for our family vacation of 16. Plenty of space, everything we needed and the pool was a must have. We almost never left with 8 kids between 2-12. The owner Matthew was always. Responded super fast and even went so far as to ship home the shoes and clothes my son left at the house during vacation. 100% would go back to this house the next time we head down to OBX. Thank you.

Perfect Family Getaway Spot

We fell so in love with this vacation that we've already made plans for the years to come! The house is exactly as advertised. It has so many amenities that show thoughtfulness on the part of the owners. Conveniences such as a large ice maker, mini fridges on every level, ceiling fans indoor and outdoors right where you want them, ample flatware/dishes for a large family and beach equipment for borrow are just a few reasons we'll be coming back here. The backyard is really fun. The pool is clean and well maintained. The putting green and sand court provided entertainment for adults and kids. We did several happy hours at the tiki bar (which has granite counter tops, electrical outlets, a ceiling fan, sink, mini fridge, bar stools with cushions, recycling and trash cans and storage) while we grilled dinner on the very good quality grill. The house has a great outdoor shower and an outdoor bathroom poolside (genius). The beach access is directly across the street. It's a wooden walk way and stairs up and over the dune. The same 4-5 families were on the beach each day with plenty of space between us. Matthew was a pleasure to work with and readily available by phone or text. This house is certainly appropriately named - the Gem of the Ocean! Can't wait to come back!

This was our 4th time visiting the OBX, and this house is now our favorite place to stay! Loved the putting green and volleyball net! Great layout! Everything we needed! And owner was very attentive to our needs. He had a plumber there the same day that we let him know about a clogged sink. Very short walk to the beach! Loved the location. Easy walk over to the nature trail by the fitness center. Would definitely come back!

Great time at Gem of the Ocean!

What a great find this home is! Well-appointed, clean, with tons of extras. We took full advantage of the volleyball court, corn hole, putting green, hot tub and pool! Easy access to the beach but without the extra cost of being right on the beach. Easy drives to both Duck and Corolla for shopping and eats. Matthew was great to deal with--very helpful and responsive--even as he and his family were suffering from illness. We had a minor issue with ants at the start, but easily remedied with ant spray and some traps. We would definitely consider being repeat customers here and can't recommend it enough. We've stayed as a family at the OBX for decades and this was the best place we've stayed.

Owner is amazingly clear with instructions and does all the homework for staying in the OBX for you. The house is in a great private neighborhood that is very quiet and a nominal walk across the street to the beach. We had a fantastic time with our family and will be back!
