About this property

Corolla Adventures Right Outside Your Door!

Welcome to our Corolla escape, a well-appointed beach home with all the latest amenities that also harkens back to early beach cottages, lined on the inside with juniper walls and ceilings! This home is tastefully decorated, outfitted with beautiful touches, and has fun coastal amenities such as a gated private pool and hot tub. The kitchen is well stocked, and the art throughout the home pays homage to local birds and wildlife, which you may see, year-round right outside the front windows on the lake! The entire family will enjoy bike rides and walks around the nature trails and roads of this quiet community.

Kids will love the first level of the home, featuring a TV room of their own and a pool table (which converts easily into ping-pong). Up to six children can bunk up in the level 1 bedroom and have a bedroom of their own. Also all guests will enjoy getting snacks and beverages in the kitchenette just steps away from the pool deck.

On the second level, your family can gather around the large kitchen table and breakfast bar for meals and entertainment. Just off the kitchen is our comfortable den, featuring TV and surround sound stereo. Walk out onto the deck and take in the breath-taking lake views. Two bedrooms (Queen and Double) each have a bathroom of their own.

Walk up to the third level to find two bedroom (King and Queen) suites and a cozy reading nook. The master bedroom boasts an airy cathedral ceiling and natural light. Just off the bedroom, you'll find the third level deck where you can enjoy the sun rising over the Atlantic Ocean.

Our home would be the perfect getaway for you and your pet!

IMPORTANT NOTE: We only rent to family groups. Also, while we list this home at a capacity of 14, please note that six of the beds are not suitable for adults. We ask you to keep this in mind when booking. We reserve the right to cancel reservations containing more than 8 adults.

Family vacation

The house was great! Access to the beach was a little challenging with younger kids but it was still a nice walk. Only downside was no broom or vacuum to keep the house tidy through the week and the 3rd floor got very warm at night as we couldn’t change the temp any lower than 70.

Nice property

Loved the layout of the house. Nice size pool and surrounding area. We would stay there again. My only recommendation would be to replace the older TV’s with flat screens with HDMI capability.

relaxing 4th of July week!

Beautiful location and accurately listed. The host was very communicative and responsive. There was a storm one evening and the next day a lot of debris was in the pool. I contacted her to see about cleaning it sooner and she had someone out there the same day. The layout of the house is perfect for a family with teens. We enjoyed using the kitchen to cook a few meals and had a good time walking to the nearby shops a few mornings. The beach is an easy 10 minute walk also and beautiful location. Overall a relaxing and enjoyable trip to OBX. Would recommend this property and give the host 5 stars.

Beach House Stay

Overrall it was a nice house and fairly spacious for our group. The only thing we weren't happy about was the roaches in the grill and the hot tub was not working right. We enjoyed using the pool table and the ping pong table alot at our stay. The pool was great for the kids as well when we did get in.

Family Vacation

The house was very clean and well maintained. Beds were comfortable. The only disappointment was the pool area. The lounge chairs were a bit rickety and some cushions were missing and what cushions were there were worn and moldy in the creases. I honestly dont blame the home owners. I blame the maintenance team they have watching the house. I let homeowners know and they appreciated the info.

Fun Fall get-away

We took advantage of the kids in 'virtual school' and enjoyed a week in Corolla. The home was clean, well-stocked, with room for everyone to spread out as needed. The internet connection and wifi was strong enough for all to do their online classes and work before heading out to the beach, walk around the lake, soak in pool/hot tub, etc. With easy access to grocery store for any needed items - we ate almost all our meals in. Was a wonderful stay!

Great Layout, Owner needs to keep up on routine maintenance

The Property and layout of the home was great. Communication re issues that arose during our stay tainted our experience somewhat. Several individually minor issues, when looked at in total, suggest the owner and host need to pay more attention to the details. An example - two sinks were nearly plugged and took 10 plus minutes to drain very slowly. The same for one of the showers. Not sure how the cleaners could not notice the condition of the drains when cleaning the bathrooms.

First and last time to OBX.

The house was very dirty from the unorganized entrance to one bedroom had dirty used sheets and the bathroom had dirty towels and dirty rugs. I emailed manager right away and she apologized and ask if she could send someone to clean I had already washed sheets and towels and cleaned. A cleaning lady came 4 days into our stay and asked if we needed her to clean, a little late at that point. I don’t ever plan to rent another house for vacation, I will stick to hotels or condos.

Plenty of Room but...

Overall we had a fantastic time. The pool and hot tub perfectly fit our family's needs. The house is set back at the end of the street so there are two neighbors but it is very secluded still. The hosts are great to communicate with. Some areas needed work. 1. The house was not very clean. Very dusty, you could tell the filter in the house had not been changed in a very long time. Lots of very large cobwebs inside the house. We were required to clean the countertops and tables, and vacuum before we unpacked. We all developed a cough that stopped once at home. 2. Ants Ants Ants, everywhere. There should be some continued services for this. 3. If you have a hard time with stairs, do not choose this property. Very steep stairs. 4. The AC in the Master was not working very well. It was by far the hottest room in the house. 5. All of the shower curtains are moldy. 6. The fire alarm kept going off at weird times. 7. The "short walk" to the beach was not at all. It was a long walk, especially with kids. Positives 1. Pool and Hot Tub were GREAT! 2. Washer and Dryer worked great too! 3. Pool table was fun. 4. All appliances worked well. 5. Lots of room in the house, comfort for the families. 6. Property owners are very responsive.

Not clean

Had to clean when we got there. There was a bag of goldfish a peach in the pullout couch in living room. The pool pump only worked for 5 minutes it needed to be taken apart cleaned and put back together. I messaged the owner 2 days before check in about the kids scooter and never got a reply. Wifi wasn't working 3 days later they fixed it. The garbage cans smelled so bad that was sitting by the door we almost threw up. Not a good experience at all.

The house and location are great. The property is a need of a little updating. The deck is old and splintering and the access to the path around the lake is in need of better landscaping.

Family Getaway

The owners were easy to communicate with, responsive and unobtrusive. The house is nice and set up nicely to accommodate a large group. It really needs a good thorough cleaning, though, including having the carpets shampooed and the beds/mattresses need to be updated. I would also have liked to have, at least, some of the basic accoutrements in the kitchen, such as salt and pepper. The hot tub is amazing and the pool was very nice and well maintained, but, much smaller than it appears in the pictures.

Perfect for our family of 8

We had a last minute cancellation with our original rental and this Corolla property was a godsend, saved our family vacation. I inquired about the property and the owner, Elysha, got back to me right away and was able to help me book it so quickly even though it was so last minute. She was completely understanding. The property was absolutely perfect for our family of 6 adults and 2 kids. Everyone had their own bathrooms and bedrooms. The pool was perfect for an everyday swim for our little ones and the kitchen was fully stocked for our family cooked meals. The house is also perfectly located right in the middle of Corolla, just off the main road but hidden from all the traffic. The beach is quite a walk and you have to carry all your beach gear up the stairs over the dunes. We solved that by having someone drop us off by car. But the beaches are not crowded and the water was warm and clear when we visited. I highly recommend staying at the Corolla escape. From the inviting house, to the central location and great communication from the owner, it was all outstanding.

Using the site and renting was very easy. Especially during the pandemic we really appreciated the flexibility to cancel with limited notice . It was a big decision factor in selecting a property.

Pros and Cons

Pros - Large, fairly well stocked, lots of amenities (pool, pool table, water toys) Cons - Not very clean, lots of leaks when it rained, too far to walk to the beach.

Loved the Location!

This was our first visit to OBX. We loved the location and the lake views! The walk to the beach was not far, and we liked that we only saw one neighbor when sitting on the deck! We brought our dog, and when I vacuumed the carpet on Tues and Thurs, I noticed the carpet was dirtier than just from our dog. Not sure anyone vacuumed as well as I did. Also, the tiled floors were dirty and our socks were black after playing pool one night. I could save my cleaning fee and do a better job.

Corolla vacation

This property is dated but has great amenities. We used the pool and hot tub daily and loved being close to the lake. We all loved walking the trail and feeding the turtles on the north side of the lake. The entrance to the trail is on the other side of the neighboring home. Elysha was an amazing host and very responsive. The master bedroom has great views but you can't really see the ocean. Sunrises are great and the beach is about a 7-10 minute walk. The bunks are really tight in the kids room downstairs so I wouldn't feel comfortable with more than two kids per bunk. It's a great location if you need to go to Duck or Northern Corolla. We would stay again.

A little worn but comfortable

The property was somewhat private - It was at the end of the lane and the lake bordered the back. The furnishings were a little worn. The kitchen table was permanently sticky. The “decor” needed decluttering. (For instance the king bedroom had a broken wicker basket, in the closet were wicker little chairs and a box of packaging for the tv.) The extra blanket was dirty. The hot tub cover was in bad shape. Bring your own beach chairs if you have good quality ones. Despite some shabbiness my family enjoyed the location, the roominess, and casual comfy atmosphere.
