Amazing week!

This was a perfect stay for an excellent week. Our rental was extremely clean and well maintained with everything we needed. Very close to beach and the pool! Plenty of room and extremely comfortable. Having access to the bikes, beach chairs and umbrella made our trip even better since we didn’t have to pack ours! Excellent communication from our hosts and the check in process was flawless. We really enjoyed ourselves and would highly recommend!!

A Hidden Gem

This condo is clean and comfortably fit our family of 6 adults. We loved the proximity to the beach, which was never crowded, and it was also convenient to anything we needed. It was perfect for a relaxing, reading and enjoying the beach and pool. The table on the deck was a huge bonus for family dinners.

Week stay at Indian Summer.

We really enjoyed our stay here. Because it has private beach access to the beach was never too crowded and it was a quick and easy walk to the beach. (our weather was perfect!) The stretch of beach couldn't have been better. The pool is a great amenity to have; and for the most part was not too crowded which given the Pandemic I was a little concerned about. Things were as equipped as was described; however, if you like to cook, you should bring some of your favorite cooking utensils . . . it was a great week and I would return to this spot!

Nice getaway

Location and size of this condo are great! It was our first time in Corolla. The condo is a great size, is in a quiet complex, has a nice pool with surrounding deck, and is only a short walk to the beach. I appreciated the use of chairs and bikes while we were there; it was less for us to pack. Owners were fantastic and helpful from the time I booked through the end of our stay. The only negative thing I have to say has absolutely nothing to do with the property: traffic through Duck was a bear at times…

Nice condo!

A very good fit for the size of our party. Location was great-pool easily accessible, beach close enough to walk, and great front porch for meals! Only concern was cleanliness-since we had small kids who lose toys, we were perhaps looking in non-standard places, but under the beds and couches there were some surprises. But if you don't have to get down there to retrieve toys, you'd probably never know!

Great location

Nice sized condo in a family friendly community. It’s an older condo compared to a lot of the new building on OBX but has that laid back beach atmosphere. I love the pine paneling :). The pool is clean and right near the condo. The covered porch was a great spot to sit and have coffee or a meal with sun hitting it in the morning. It’s a short walk to the beach which was not overly crowded. You can walk, bike or drive a short distance to the supermarket and an assortment of stores. There is ample parking, some of it covered. There was a maintenance issue but the owner was very responsive. My only downside was the king mattress was very firm - that’s just not my preference. We enjoyed our stay here!

Great weekend

The property was as stated in the listing. We did have to supply our own bedding and towels which they had told us but was a little hassle coming from a long distance. The closeness to the beach was wonderful - just a short walk. Weather was great. Items in shed were helpful - chairs and umbrella. We didn't have a chance to use the bikes. Communication was good although we had a little glitch with the entrance code. Hostess had sent it but we couldn't find it - finally looked in our "junk" email file and all the details were there. The unit was clean but dated and worn. Brand new pool area and deck were very nice. Overall we had a great time with friends there. Thanks Susan

Great condo and location!

We loved our stay here! The weather wasn't the best during our weak but the condo was wonderful. Very roomy, furntiure and beds were comfy and both bathrooms were enough for our 2 adults and 2 teens. It was nice to have the pool as an option, especially since it's open until 10pm, and being walking distance to the beach was a great treat this year, compared to where we stayed last year. The community is very friendly and it was a perfect week away! Thanks for all the touches that made our stay great. Communication with the owner when needed was always very prompt!

Great family vacation property

The condo was clean and comfortable. Close walk to the beach, and the owners closet contained chairs, boogie boards, etc so no need to pack that type of stuff. Pool on property was nice and shallow (goes up to 5 ft deep) so a great place for families with small kids to hang out. We enjoyed our stay, and owner was responsive to the questions we had during our stay.

About the host

Hosted by Susan Wilinski

Host profile image
I have been coming to the Outer Banks since 1982, when my parents built one of the first homes in Ocean Sands. They sold that home (how I wish they didn't!) and my husband and I began our own tradition of vacationing in Corolla and Duck every year with our two children. Although we live in New Jersey and are only an hour or so from the nearest beach, we all love the Outer Banks so much that we can't imagine our yearly beach vacation anywhere else.

Why they chose this property

We chose this condo in Indian Summer because it is a wonderful unit that is such a short walk to the beach, only five minutes. It is a great community, and the residents were so helpful to us before we even closed on the property. It has everything we need: three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a pool and best of all, close proximity to the beach! So close, in fact, that I can hear the waves while I have my coffee on the deck in the morning.

What makes this property unique

This is an end unit, so it only shares one wall with another unit. It is one of the rare units that has a covered deck and three bedrooms. It overlooks the pool area and is so convenient for an all-day beach stay or a last minute decsion to take a walk on the beach. Indian Summer is in a great location being that it is just across the street from Harris Teeter, restaurants and the Currituck Club.
