Thank you so much for the opportunity to enjoy our week at the beach at your house. Since this was a return trip it immediatley felt like it was our home away from home versus another beach house rental.
Your delux accommodations added to our extended family's joy and pleasure at our annual beach gathering. We appreciate you sharing your home with us and look forward to another week of fun and good times next year.

Fall of 2008 I started planning a family reunion in Corolla for 30 of us, some coming from as far away as Alaska and Vietnam, for the following summer. We found this property on VRBO and rented it and a neighbor's so we could all be close. You can imagine the level of anticipation building since the fall, and being the planner of the vacation I was very anxious that it would all turn out perfect. I cannot put into words how awesome our vacation was. The home was absolutely wonderful, bright, cheery, and had everything you would need for a vacation. The top floor is very family friendly with a large kitchen and lots of living area.
We started each morning with an hour walk on the beach which we loved. Most of our days were spent on the beach (which was very easy to get to) and in the pool and hot tub. Two of us had four-wheel drive vehicles that we took on the beach. We set up awnings, made return trips to bring more guests, and enjoyed the gorgeous beach, warm water and abundant waves. We were so excited when we saw the dolphins jumping in front of us and then all of a sudden we noticed 4 of those magical wild horses.
One day we did go on a scavenger hunt set up by two relatives. I am thankful they did that because it forced us to leave our beautiful accomodations and visit all the quaint offerings of Corolla. Make sure you follow any suggestions the owners give you for food and entertainment. We truly enjoyed the bagels and pizza. The only problem with the vacation is that it ended after one week! We all would have loved to stay another week. |

| This house was FANTASTIC! All our needs rolled into one. A beautiful, clean, spacious home on a cul de sac. There were 8 of us in total and still PLENTY of room to spare. The beach was great and just a short walk (or bike ride) away. An awesome view of the lighthouse (it was fun to look for the house from there too)! We loaded the back of the pickup with our beach chairs and drove the short ride to the drive on beach in search of the wild horses. The owners were an absolute pleasure to work with and their food recommendations were spot on perfect! This house promises all you need for a great vacation and you won't want to leave! We were actually just looking to go back this summer but it's all booked!! Thanks so much for such an enjoyable and relaxing vacation! |

Every year my whole family gets together and has a relaxing beautiful vacation in the Outer Banks. We have stayed at this house twice now and will be returning this July for another relaxing vacation. Two years ago we stayed here for July 4th, the view of the light house on the back deck is amazing. That weekend the fireworks were done right behind the Light house, the view could not have been more stunning.
The house has anything and everything you could possibly need, that only leaves you with going to the grocery store which is only a few miles up the road.
The convenient walk through directly behind the house to the beach adds to this perfect location. The quite and peaceful neighborhood is exactly what every family is looking for when on vacation. No excessive traffic, No crowds on the beach, and if you are the athletic type it makes for a beautiful run or bike ride.
We would suggest to anyone that this is the house to rent. It is also about a two minute drive on to the beach for 4 wheel drive vehicles...makes for a wonderful day at the beach.

| This property will not disappoint you! We took our first vacation to this home in 2007 and all agreed -- it was the best family vacation ever (and yes, we have taken many)!! The home is fantastic -- the floor plan is nice and open and the owners keep the home in excellant condition - they really have made this home a true "home away from home" by offering numerous ammenities. The private pool is a great size and like the home -- is very well kept. The hot tub is also quite nice!! Inside, the kitchen is well stocked and if you choose not to cook -- restaurants are nearby and convenient to get to. Working with the owners is a true pleasure which is an added bonus! We have reserved this home again this summer (2009) and absolutely cannot wait to return!!! |

| Great view of the lighthouse and very easy walk to a nice beach and to the lighthouse. Accommodations were wonderful. Great having so many bathrooms. Loved the electronic entry so we didn't have to figure out who had the key when we went places in different cars at different time. Would love to go back any time!!!! |
