Let yourself be \"Swept Away\" BOOK OUR BEAUTIFUL HOME NOW FOR 2023
About this house rental
What do you look for in an ideal vacation spot? A lovely home, tastefully decorated with upscale furnishings? A well-equipped home, stocked with your needs in mind? A family-friendly home, supplied for fun indoors & out? A centrally-located home, near the beach, shops, restaurants, historic & natural attractions? You've found it! Let yourself be Swept Away by this terrific home, loaded w/ comforts & amenities. Relax on 2 floors of wrap-around decking, including 2nd level porch swing and top level hot tub. Lounge on Tommy Bahama furniture & beds made w/ cotton sheets. Enjoy a quiet book or lively game in the ship's watch loft. Be surrounded by sunny skies and partial ocean views, thanks to plentiful windows & an open floor plan. Just a short walk to the beach - we've supplied a beach cart, chairs, boogie boards & sand toys. At Monteray Shores Clubhouse enjoy the pool, playground, tennis courts, bike & kayak rental, sound fishing/crabbing off the pier, fitness center & kids' activities. We're just steps away from some of the Outer Banks' finest shops & restaurants. You'll love it here! Added Bonus: We offer Early Arrival at no additional cost! This is unusual for the northern beaches, where almost every other home has a 4pm check-in. There is one main road in and out of the area -- as it gets closer to that 4pm arrival, all that traffic can really back up. Our earlier check-in allows you to beat most of the traffic crossing onto the island and up the coast. We hope you will enjoy this extra benefit : ) Updates: We've owned this home since 2008 and every year we make repairs, upgrades and additions to what we offer. A few major changes recently include: in 2014 we had the entire exterior of the house painted, added flat-screen tv's in the living area and master bedrooms, and upgraded the entry with "wood" tile flooring. In 2015, we replaced all carpeting throughout the house, added a new washer & dryer and replaced the upper floor HVAC unit.

House is in need of maintenance inside and out. Loose bannister in second floor dangerous. Toilets slow to fill. Refrigerator slow to cool. Range with one eye not working at all. Upstairs air out on arrival, contacted owner and repairman did come next day. Outside grounds with downed tree limbs and brush. Sumacs poison ivy has overtaken trees and shrubs on ground, along shrubs in walk ways and even up trees touching upper deck, also very dangerous had someone in our group been sensitive to the aroma that poison ivy ir sumac in this case gives off. Luckily nobody in our group that sensitive but some truly are. Would not stay in this home again. We made the best of it and still enjoyed our trip.

Having stayed in this neighborhood previously we knew we had a good location - especially for the cost. The earlier check-in time was a BIG plus. The house had a nice Hot tub, nice views, good layout and our family enjoyed our stay here. The house cleaning good be just a little better, window panes were dirty in dining room and a window treatment is missing here also. We also noticed some of the walls around the doors could use painting and or cleaned. The house came with many beach chairs, boogie boards and toys which was a plus. The beach carts could use some help, rust, etc but overall very nice to have beach items if you need them. The outside could use some TLC, with trees and shrubs against the home and the Deck really needs some attention, rough in places and needing some Deck over, or other treatment. Again, our trip was about Family and this home worked just fine. Thank you.

We loved the location of this property and the layout worked well for our family. That being said, the property was not as upkept as we had hoped. We had an AC situation that was quickly rectified by the owner. The door to the deck from the master was damaged and needing replacement. There was a terrible smell noted on day one that continued to get worse in the master bedroom. On day three we came back to the house after a long day to discover Maggots in the master bath coming from around the tub. The exterminator was called in but unfortunately there was not much he could do to remedy the situation except spray for the maggots. A dead animal was decaying behind the wall and the wall would need to be cut open and new drywall added. None of which could be done with us staying there. The owner did offer us a $500 credit for the inconvenience, but it was rather disgusting to have to sleep in a room with that odor and knowing what was behind the bathroom door.
It is understandable that sometimes things happen that the owner isn't aware of, however we lost time with family and friends while dealing with this situation on top of having to spend more than half our time living with the smell of death on the living level. This was not an experience I care to repeat.

Every year six friends take turns picking a vacation spot. This year was our turn and we picked Corolla, NC. Communication from the owner was excellent. The property was as described but could use a little updating. The stove was older and took a long time to heat and the queen mattress was said to be sinking in the middle. The other beds were very comfortable. Pleanty of seating available on both decks. Enjoyed having the separate decks and bathrooms which allowed for privacy when wanted, even with other guests. It is in the check out rules to remove anything brought (spices, soaps, detergents, etc.) so be sure to bring or plan on buying anything you might need. Would definitely recommend to others and would stay again if back in the area.

We had a bit of a hiccup on arrival but the owner went above and beyond to quickly take care of the issue.(much appreciated) The house has everything we needed for our family vacation and really felt like home for our stay....The location was great with a short walk to the beach and stores, restaurants and shopping very close as well. The beds were comfortable and we had plenty of room for the kids to play, make big family dinners and we especially loved the wrap around decks...everything was just as described and we hope to make an annual trip to this lovely location. We loved this house and the town💜

This was a great getaway for our elderly mothers who had not been to the beach in over 10 years. Great property for families to be together but have their own space as well. There are a lot of stairs inside in case there are family members with mobility issues. Thank you for the wonderful accommodations.

This was a first vacation for our newly blended family and we couldn’t have asked for a better place! The home was beautiful, clean and full of space for together time and separate downtime! The central location to everything was perfect! 5 stars isn’t enough!!

We had 7 adults staying for the week with different schedules. The close access to the beach was wonderful so we could all leave at different times and eventually walk to meet up at the beach.

Nice Place—As Described
We had a great stay. The house was as described and located close to shops and restaurants. Short drive to the beach…could also walk but we had younger kids in our group so it was easier to drive. All around a great place!

Wedding weekend getaway
Perfect location and very roomy with lots of bathrooms! Was provided one bath towel per person so would recommend bringing towels. Bed linens are provided which was great. Noticed kitchen was well stocked with dishes, utensils and cookware but no seasonings or basic kitchen staples. Deck furniture is a little rickety. Didn’t use hot tub-darn, but some random guy showed up in the house to service it as we were getting dressed for wedding. Overall wonderful place and I would come back here again!😎

We have been at this property before and loved it, however this time it was not very clean at all. It appeared to not of been dusted in a long while. Bathroom sinks had other people’s hair on it . Toilets dirty. Inside stove hasn’t been cleaned in a long while. Dirty sponge mop at the door you go out to use hot tub. Dirty blankets in one tub. 2 dirty towels shoved in a draw. Light switches with dirt all over them. I could honestly keep going. The owners let us know that they do not check up on their cleaner and she was having a bad week. Then only suggested given to us was to have her come back while we were there to fix it. We are hoping this gets fixed and no one else experiences this especially paying so much for just a weekend getaway. We had to clean everything we used. As some of the dishes had food on them and the silverware draw had food it in as well.

The house was absolutely gorgeous, however, there were spiders and cob webs all over the porches and balconies. Definitely spacious as pictured. The beach was fairly close, definitely a drive if you plan on taking all your beach gear, chairs, coolers, and umbrellas/tents.(which alot was already there for our convenience) The clubhouse was fairly close but all closed after labor day, so you had no access to the pool. Plus you now have to make reservations for the pool/ fitness center/boat launch so you can't just walk in and enjoy the amenities.
Beth was very responsive and helpful which was nice and the house was well stocked with everything you would need. There were stores for shopping, food, and groceries very close or even walking distance.
Biggest complaint was that early check was offered for 1pm, was told the housekeeper was running a little late (which was fine because so were we) however, we arrived at almost 4 pm and the housekeeper had just barely started cleaning. She did not finish up until after 5pm so we could not get our stuff in and situated while she was there with her kids. The kitchen was left unclean with crumbs and dirt on the floor and grease marks all over the microwave and countertops. While I understand things happen, it was frustrating as after a 13 hour car ride, I didn't expect to get there and spend our first night cleaning and tidying what should have been done prior to us being there.
Definitely a great place to stay with a big family.

the house was very clean and loved all the bedrooms and bathrooms. Perfect for our family. could use a few updates, but all in all it was a comfortable house. The walk to the beach was a little long for us but there were parking lots close by that worked out perfect. The pool access was nice to have it was like having your own private pool.

We loved the house, everyone had room to be together or apart. The beds were very comfortable. We loved the swing and the hot tub. The walk to the beach was about 3 blocks so we took turns dropping everyone off and one person walking back. The only suggestion I would have is to buy new bath towels for the home.

We were long overdue for a vacation. This plaçe was just what we needed. The house was beautiful and clean on the inside. We have 2 older teenage sons who have always shared a bedroom. They especially enjoyed having their own room and bathroom! The hot tub was also a favorite. We found some movies in the homeowners stash that we hadn't seen and had a couple of movie nights. It's nice that it is within walking distance of the beach! It was a little chilly the week we were there (upper 60's, low 70's). Ironically, the weather was in the 80's back home in PA! Lol. It didn't matter to us , we found some cool things to do but mostly enjoyed relaxing and hanging out at the house. We visited the lighthouse, rented a Pontoon for a couple hours, walked the beach, and shopped at some.gift shops. Our favorite meal was at the philly cheese steak place! Thank you Beth for being a great host and offering a comfortable house for us to rest and relax in!

The house was fabulous. If there was anything negative, it would only be the 15 mile trip up there and back if you want to travel around the island! But, close to the house there are many things to see and do! And if you're a beach bum, then you are going to be pleased.
