Emotional Rescue

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

If you seek serenity, nature, and privacy, you will love this house and its fabulous nature views. Sitting on just over two acres, this home provides more than enough room for kids to play sports and explore beach living in a more wooded setting. Backing up to a large pond with a private dock, this is one of the most tranquil settings in Corolla. You can catch small fish, watch the turtles, and even catch a view of ospreys & eagles nesting right from the privacy of your deck. The home is nestled in the heart of Corolla Village and just a short stroll to unique shopping, the Whalehead Club, and the beach!

Enter your vacation home through a large, covered porch offering seating and hammock swings for the family to enjoy. The ground level hosts the living area of the house with a tastefully decorated great room with vaulted ceilings, a 55" smart TV with a soundbar, stereo, and surround sound. The west side of the home is lined with windows and glass doors to maximize the nature views. The recently (2022) remodeled kitchen sports a large bar with countertop space, a gas cooktop, a double wall oven/microwave, a separate beverage cooler, and a nice size pantry for food storage. There is a beautiful wooden dining table seating everyone and a separate, expandable breakfast table that seats even more. Just off the kitchen is a laundry room with a washer and dryer to use whenever you like. Around the corner, you'll find a den with a queen sleeper sofa for quiet escapes and a full bath. There is also a huge queen primary bedroom with a separate sitting area, TV, and walk-in closet. The bathroom there features a bath with double shower heads, a steam shower, and a bidet. Rounding out this level is a west-side queen bedroom with a sitting area, four skylights, and numerous windows for views of the pond right out back. The large back deck, extending the entire length of the house, has room for dining, rocking, sunning, fishing and just enjoying the wildlife and sunset.

Up a flight of stairs, you will find two more bedrooms. There is another queen primary bedroom with a large bathroom and a sizable kids' bedroom offering a queen and twin beds. Both bedrooms additionally feature TVs equipped with Amazon Firesticks. The latter room also sports a built-in play table for kids' games, puzzles, or arts and crafts. Just off this room is a full bathroom that also opens into the hallway. Tucked into the southwest side of the home are a cozy loft area with seating, and fabulous sound views.

Repeat Guests
Been going to Corolla for over 20 years and this is the only home that we have been repeat guests several times. The location is very private and an easy walk/bike to all of Corolla Village and Corolla LightBeach is uncrowded a there is something for everyone from ice cream, pizza, juice, bars and restaurants. Only need to drive is to the grocery. Feels like you are at home from the minute you arrive.

Emotional Rescue - Corolla NC
Awesome Place! We loved that it was tucked back in its own little area with its own fishing pond that was amazing for watching the birds, turtles and fish. !! Not too bad of a walk to the beach, and also short drive to the public beach access was also nice. The back deck provided tons of space to spread out and sit and enjoy the outdoors and the short walk to the hot tub was also a plus!!

Our most favorite place to stay ever
This house was the perfect place to spend a quiet, relaxing time in Corolla. From the beautiful decorations throughout the house, to the modern kitchen, to the back deck overlooking a peaceful pond, the house is a perfect choice for anyone looking for a quiet refuge. Unlike many rentals, the house felt more like a home we could see ourselves living in. Thank you for the chance to experience your amazing home.

Another wonderful stay, one more reason to come back- perfect place in a quiet setting. No complaints. Perfect - even commissioned an artist to paint the sunset off of the pond of the sound.

Perfect for large group
Pros: Lots of space to spread out; well equipped kitchen, (at least the knives were sharp) deck was awesome for early morning coffee, bird watching and feeding the turtles. Hot tub was so relaxing after a day at the beach. Loved the local shops within walking distance. Very short distance to beach access by car. Cons: Cleaning was in progress when we arrived at 6PM and had to wait almost an hour before entering the house. If we had arrived on time at 4pm check in the property would not have been cleaned and ready for us. Additionally, the hot tub is cleaned by a specific company but they did not come until Monday. Glad we didn't use the hot tub before it was cleaned. Front porch could have been more welcoming without the spiders and cobwebs. Some things were unclear like exactly what is available in the shed to use by renters; Who is responsible to refill the gas grill propane tank? Went to grill burgers and hot dogs and tank was empty and it was too late to have it refilled.

Peace and Serenity
Beautiful open concept home with enough space to get lost in your own space. Back deck overlooking pond was the perfect spot for morning coffee. We saw and fed the turtles daily. There were lots of beautiful herons and two ponies would come daily to graze on grass in the yard. No worries they totally ignored us and were so peaceful to watch. Great house.

Seclusion in Corolla
The house is nestled in a nice secluded area giving you the opportunity to enjoy nature and still enjoy the typical beach activities close by. The house in itself has lots of character and is well decorated. The house could use more up keep, general maintenance, and was not as clean as we would have liked it when we arrived. Overall, it was a great family vacation and lots of memories were made.

Lovely Corolla stay
Our family really enjoyed our stay. The house is perfectly situated for a stroll around Corolla village, a drive up the beach, a climb up the lighthouse and it was close enough to explore the other nearby towns. There was lots of space, we particularly loved the views from the upper-floor sitting room. Unfortunately, the weather was terrible during our stay so we didn't get to use the hot tub or the deck, but that looked lovely too. Overall a great property that we'd love to stay in again.

Retreat to beauty and rejuvenation
My family of four stayed here during a cold week in March and loved it. The house is spacious enough for 6-8 people and we hope to share with another family next time but we enjoyed the luxury of a spacious house. The pond, large living room and fireplace, steam shower and hot tub made this a spa like retreat. The kitchen had everything we needed. The location was amazing near the beach, the wildlife education center, lighthouse, and bookstore/cafes. Some were still closed for the winter season but walking in the area was interesting and beautiful. We hiked nearby in the maritime forest but didn't go on any of the wild horse tours bc of the cold and not really knowing enough about the air up/down strategy. The back deck overlooking the pond was peaceful and rejuvenating. We saw five turtles, egrets, bald eagles, and a neighbor stopped by with some rescue ponies. I will bring binoculars next time. The kids also enjoyed the tv and the puzzles. The management company was super responsive when we had questions or issues. The check in instructions were a bit confusing and left out info on the fire places and thermostats but we asked and the company responded quickly. We hope to come back someday!

Beautiful home in the perfect location!
Emotional Rescue was the perfect home for our family vacation of 6 adults and 2 babies. After lots of research and spreadsheets, we ultimately chose this home for several reasons. First, we loved the location. The home is just north of the shops and restaurants, but it was pretty easy to walk to (@ .7 miles each way). It was also an easy walk or super short drive to the public beach (.8 miles walking) - and it was easy to walk to with the beach cart they provided! Additionally, you will find yourself extremely close to the Corolla Beer Garden (became our favorite spot) and to the public park on the water with trails and beautiful spots for photos. You're around the corner from the historic village with a coffee shop, smoothie/juice bar and historic lighthouse. Aside from location, it was a great space. The home is huge and spread out so we were able to have private spaces to work in the morning and socialize at night. The kitchen is big and well-equipped; although I wish we knew all of the amenities that were included ahead of time (like a blender, some spices, etc.). We ended up bringing everything just to be safe! The patio out front was so nice later in the day and we loved hanging on the porch swings and having drinks - and my nephew loved the daily horse visitors! The back deck is beautiful too with views overlooking a pond. It was hot and didn't provide much shade but we would grill frequently and wait to eat closer to sunset. The one thing to note about the space is that the gorgeous master bedroom shares a bathroom with the room on the other side. It was a bit difficult with privacy as we shared with my brother and sister-in-law. But I will say, the walk-in closet and shower were AMAZING! Just something to keep in mind when choosing rooms. We appreciated that we were provided with different beach items; the wagon and chairs were key and made our beach trips easier. Overall, we do recommend this home and feel it's perfect for a large family or some couples. You will love the serenity, location, and comforts of the house!

We loved our stay here! Such a peaceful, tranquil spot with lots of wildlife
We LOVED our stay here. The home is beautifully decorated. The back deck over looking the water and the front porch swings were some of our favorite aspects. The kids used the hot tub daily, that was a great much needed benefit. We enjoyed the use of it and the outdoor shower after the beach .The house is away from the chaos of some of the busier areas. Set back. So quiet. Very close to 4x4 beach. The home Overlooks the water and has so many turtles 🐢. At one point my daughter counted 24! They were always popping up to the surface to say hello! We spotted an egret and spotted a few deer around the water in the backyard. We found a baby Turtle in the yard about the size of a half dollar. We loved the 3rd floor nook for reading and the fully stocked kitchen for at home meals. Neighbors living over the garage were friendly. Only negatives were no pool and that you’re only allowed 2 cars. We had to pay to leave a third vehicle locally where there was definitely ample space on the property for a 3rd car but were told it was not allowed. We would definitely stay here again. We loved it for our family (our family was 8 guests but could have definitely slept 10 guests but max occupancy is 8) thank you for a wonderful stay

This is a beautiful house that does not at all feel like a rental. The furnishing and amenities felt like we were visiting someone at their home. The house is in wonderful condition, walking distance to the Old Village and located on a little pond filled with curious turtles. We had one hiccup however. When we arrived after check in we found the unit to be not cleaned from the previous renters. I called Vacasa and they were responsive in attempting to get it resolved, but we were told that no one would be coming until the next day. So I went to the store and bought laundry soap and bleach wipes to do laundry and clean bathrooms. Not a great way to start our relaxing long weekend. After getting some sheets and towles in the washer and scrubbing all of the dirty toilets (yuck!), a cleaning crew did arrive around 9:30pm and gave us fresh sheets and towels and agreed to come the next day to clean the entire unit - which they did. If not for this inconvenience, it would be a 5 star place to stay. One other weird event...we arrived back to the house after exploring one day to find a woman and her dog on the front porch looking in the windows. We asked what she wanted and she said her dog likes to look at the turtles. The turtles are in the back so I'm not sure why she was in the front. She also left fresh dog poop in the back yard. Not sure if she was a nosey neighbor, but she wasn't respectful of our space either way. Would stay here again though.

Great House
The house itself is beautiful, well stocked and felt completely “home” like. The owners did not skimp on furnishing or supplies and it did not feel like a rental at all. It felt like we were visiting friends in their home. There are turtles in the back pond that we really enjoyed and the back deck was wonderful. This would have been a 5 star stay, except that the unit was not cleaned prior to our arrival. We arrived two hours after check in after traveling all day, to find dirty bathrooms, towels on the floor, bed sheets used…it took until 9:30pm to get someone there with sheets and towels and then they returned the next day to clean the unit. But by the time they’d come that night, I’d already had to go out and get cleaning and laundry supplies (because we were told they weren’t coming that night) and I had to scrub toilets and wash sheets (yuck). It was an unnecessarily stressful beginning to our weekend. Vacasa did follow up and refunded my cleaning charge, but still. Another sort of weird thing…we returned from venturing out to find a woman and her dog on the front porch. We inquired why she was there and she said her dog liked to see the turtles. But the turtles were in the back. I don’t know why she was on the porch looking in the window. After she left we found fresh dog poop in the back yard so I’m not sure if she was just a nosey neighbor or what. But she wasn’t considerate of our space regardless. Other than these two events, we had a wonderful weekend and the house was gorgeous and relaxing.

The pictures don’t do this place justice. Huge vaulted ceilings and a little “look out” room up high, perfect for viewing sunsets on the Sound. Right on a big pond with tons of wildlife around, yet just 100 yards from Old Corolla Village, an easy walk to the Lighthouse and Whalehead.

A quiet and beautiful home in a perfect location
The home is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. I especially enjoyed the pond behind the house at night. The sounds of the birds, frogs, insects, etc were very soothing. The night sky is clear and the reflection of the moon on the water was amazing.

Great location, views and a wonderful time!
We stayed a month and will go back. Although we were there in the off season, it was what we wanted. Beaches were breath taking, shells abundant! House was perfect- the back deck was a great place to feed the ducks, watch the otter swim, see the eagles fly overhead, count the turtles and count the colors of the sunsets.

Amazing paradise
I have been coming to Corolla for years and this house is unlike any other - the art, the flow, the beautiful details (pocket doors! Amazon fire stick! built ins, plush area rugs) made me feel like I was staying in someone's gorgeously appointed home. The pond is so quiet and peaceful and we loved seeing turtles, herons, not to mention rabbits, lizards and frogs during our stay. Incredible!

The house was beautiful and very spacious!
We truly enjoyed our stay. We loved the decor of the house. The only thing we didn’t like was the outside of the house needed a good power washing. There were spider webs all over the one porch and the back door was very hard to close. The refrigerator did not work well. We ended up throwing out some of our meat because of the refrigerator not getting cold enough. Other then that we really enjoyed our stay. It wasn’t a bad walk to the beach and you are right in Corolla Village.
