Corolla Adventures Right Outside Your Door!
About this house rental
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. **RENTALS ARE WEEKLY FROM SATURDAY TO SATURDAY DURING THE PRIME SEASON BUT SMALLER RENTALS CAN BE BOOKED (3 NIGHT MIN) IN THE OFFSEASON**

The property was very nice and pretty clean. I would suggest getting window air conditioner units for the upstairs bedroom very hot up there. And they need some dish towels. Kitchen very well stocked.

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!

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.

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.

Vacation
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.

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.

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 - 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.

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.

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.

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.

Good experience. Wish house was a smidge closer to the beach. Kids loved the pool.

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.

The property is in a nice location and we had a good stay. We especially enjoyed the walking path around the pond, where you can see and feed turtles.
There were a few small issues. When we arrived one of the beds didn't have linens, there were none the right size in the house and it took a couple days to get them. The listing mentioned there were beach and bath towels but we only found bath towels, and there weren't enough of those.

My family had a good time in Corolla. The house was nice. It does need some upgrades and maintenance but overall fine. The house is carpeted throughout the second and third floors and can get a bit musty and damp given the humidity and activities (pool/beach). Mattresses were not great and bunk beds on first floor were not very functional. Some lights/lamps were not working and extra light bulbs were not supplied. Two of the smoke detectors started beeping for low battery overnight and woke kids both nights. Thermostat is capped at 70 (which I don’t blame property owners) but can get warm at night with doors closed. Overall nice place but could use some tweaks.

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!

My family and I enjoyed our stay based on the location. Upon arrival we ran into a few cleaning issues and an ant problem. When we spoke with Elysha she apologized and tried to have the cleaners come back out the next day but we did not feel comfortable until we cleaned it ourselves and did not really trust them to do better this time. The ants were all over the downstairs kitchen area and pest control never made it out. Overall this vacation was very relaxing and we enjoyed our time together. I would recommend having a few more cleaning supplies on site if this happens again. We had to purchase our own which was a bummer.

Perfect week
The house was perfect for our family. The short walk to the beach was nice and being near the pond was good also. My family enjoyed the pool and hot tub.
Only thing I would suggest as an improvement would be to have more kitchen supplies. Mixing bowls, griddle and small things of that nature. Overall the house was perfect and we very much enjoyed our stay and family time.
