About this property

Mother Ocean welcomes you to the sweet Outer Banks after the never ending tribute to Father Time! “Ruggles” is the crème de la crème of Oceanfront living harmonized with superb views, a private boarded walkway and direct beach access. Feel like royalty with expanded sun decks, inviting hammock and bubbling hot tub to remedy tense muscles and everyday stresses.

Further melt away stress with the boost of cathedral ceilings, skylights, the tender ambiance of a stone fireplace and upstairs loft with extensive reading library. The material pleasures of a fully stocked kitchen, custom counters and master bath welcome each day and give you the vacation you have deserved and expect!

Keep a sharp eye out to snap that candid shot of your neighbors, the wild roaming Spanish Mustangs of Corolla while combing the beach looking for that perfect shell to add to the collection. Historical attractions will astonish the whole family such as the Corolla Lighthouse and Whalehead Club while evenings come alive with exceptional cuisine, live music each night at local venues and sun lit strolls along the surf.

So lovely!

Our family of 4 (3 adults & 1 teen) loved our stay. The house was everything we wanted & the perfect size (not too big & not too small). It had everything we needed to be comfortable & we enjoyed the fully equipped kitchen. We cooked all our meals. So close to the beach which was not crowded. Highly recommend!

Great family vacation

Loved the house and location! Views were stunning. House was well-maintained and clean! There was lots of amenities for my family, including high chair, booster seat, pack and play sand toys, umbrellas, chairs, boogie boards, laundry room! The only downside was having to pick up the key and Duck made us sit in traffic for a while longer being able to get in with access code would be nice. But everything else was fantastic!

Each year provides us with a very restful and enjoyable experience. This particular home is one of the moderately sized homes remaining. It sleeps seven.

Perfect Beach Week

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is our second time staying at the Ruggles property and we will definitely be back again in the future. The space is always clean and has all the essentials and more for a relaxing vacation. You can really tell the owners care for the rental and it has that home away from home feeling. Our family of 6 had enough room to spread out when we weren't at the beach!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house was everything we wanted and needed. Loved the den where the TV was as it brought us together in the evenings! The library is incredible though we didn't start reading towards the end of our stay so..I guess we'll have to rent again so we can finish the novels and books

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house is fantastic!! It is beautifully maintained and has everything that you might need. The proximity to the ocean makes it extra special. We particularly enjoyed watching the sun rise from the steps, using the hot tub every evening, and reading in the hammock. The house is close to shopping and restaurants as well. We loved every second in the lovely home!! Thank you!!

Great fit for a small group

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: All aspects of our stay were very positive, BUT I have a real problem with the rental office retaining my $500 damage deposit for 30 DAYS following my stay. A damage assessment can be made in a day or two following our departure (especially in this very slow off season). I will not rent from Carolina Shores again because of this.

Comfortable, Roomy and Right on the Beach

Our stay at Ruggles was very enjoyable. The house is exactly as pictured if not better, and both roomy and comfortable. The back deck was a great place to hang out, either to get sun in the morning to early afternoon or shade later in the day. Also, the house could hardly be closer to the beach, probably less than a 30 second walk over the dune, made easy by the wooden stairway (that also serves as a great platform to take sunrise pictures that are totally worth getting up early for). This was our first time on the Outer Banks and we were a bit taken back by the traffic jams, getting on the island and during dinner hour. Fortunately the kitchen is well stocked (although bring your own spices) and the grill is without a doubt the cleanest and easiest grill at any house we have ever rented, making dinners in the best idea.

OBX 2022

Great property! Loved the private beach access, outdoor deck space, and hot tub. Only complaint was in-person check in was required with no early check-in option. We arrived about 4 hours before our check-in window to avoid traffic. A keyless entry option would really improve this process! Definitely renting this property again next year!

Ruggles is THE place to stay for our family

We absolutely LOVED every minute of our stay at the Ruggles Beach House. It was absolutely perfect for our family of five. The only problem was when our time ran out. Can't wait to hopefully go back again next year!

Way better than expected

The property location, cleanliness, and size were perfect for our family. 3 of our 4 sons were able to join us (ages 25, 23 and 17) and we all had an amazing time. The house had everything we needed and we ate most of our meals at the house. There was a TV in the master bedroom and in one of the rooms downstairs, but we never turned them on. My wife and I watched the sunrise every morning, either from the deck off our bedroom or at the top of the new wooden walkway leading to the beach. Although the water was cold, most of us went in every day. The hot tub was refreshing, especially on those cool breezy evenings. We rented a Jeep from noon one day till noon the next (highlight of the trip) and were able to drive up the sandy beaches north of Corolla several times, and every time were able to see horses roaming the beaches. We enjoyed an amazing sunset from Historic Corolla Lighthouse park. The owners have kept guest logs going back to the early 1990s and it was so much fun to read about experiences that past guests had staying at this beautiful home. Thank you so much for sharing this house with us, we definitely plan on staying there again.

The perfect beach house

This is a wonderful beach house! Extemely clean and well maintained. Love that it is a smaller, cozy home - perfect for the three of us. Great deck space with sun and shade. Beautiful beach just over the dune. Loved walking down the beach to Corolla Village for lunch at Barbeque or coffee & breakfast. Bedrooms all nicely decorated and comfortable. Great master upstairs with view of awesome sunrises over the ocean. This house has it all!

Absolutely perfect!

We rented this house for a week in April and absolutely loved everything about it: the main room with cathedral ceilings and sky lights, the large sunny deck, the hot tub, the shaded hammock, the private easy access to the beach, the great location - an easy bike ride to both shopping and historic sites, the sunrises on the sea and sunsets over at Whalehead, all of it. In an area full of huge tacky Mc Mansions, this property is tasteful, beautiful, comfortable and perfect for a single family unit. Everything was clean, everything worked. We even used the fireplace on a cold night! Strongly strongly recommend. We can’t wait to get back there.

Perfect for us!

So very much enjoyed our time at Ruggles! Needed the quiet November peace of the area, with lovely places to walk and bike. The house is beautifully designed and decorated in serene beach shades. Even a cozy fireplace for the one night we used it this warm November. Excellent cooks’ kitchen with everything needed right at hand. We always take our own sharp knives to rentals, but never had to unpack them here. Would go back in a heartbeat!

Incredibly clean, attractive, well-maintained property

We had a fantastic time here, the property was spotless when we arrived, and everything looked like it had been well-kept (as in, sometimes the houses look/feel a bit dated when you walk in but this place emphatically DID NOT.) Our children were remote learning - and my husband and I were working - the first few days and the nook upstairs and the reading/TV room were perfect for setting up "shop." If there was one teeny tiny downside, the internet or WIFI kept dropping during meetings (although it was REALLY fast when it was up), so I imagine the firmware needs a bit of TLC. But that was nothing compared to the location and charm of the property. We will stay again for sure.
