The property was nice and as described. We had a nice stay with minimal issues. These were the type of things one would expect at a remote beach home at the end of a rental season. The owner was very responsive and did as much as could reasonably be expected to address them. The home was a good price for the size a layout. The owner allowed us to bring an extra pet without hesitation. He has not owned the property for very long so he obviously hasn't had time to make many updates. My suggestion would be to upgrade some appliances and hardware to commercial grade items. Due to all the sand and salt the door knobs and other door hardware did not function properly on several doors. I'm not sure if higher quality hardware would make a difference considering the conditions though. We had great time with our family. The wild horses loved to graze on the property almost daily while we were there.

The pictures do not do this location justice. The location is perfect if your looking to be away from the rush of everything. as we were. You will need to plan ahead on what you need to bring and ensure you don't overfill your vehicle as it will get stuck easily if it is weighed down. We brought everything we needed for a week and plenty of drinking water (the property is on a well). The Foodlion in Corrolla has tons of water so even if you don't bring enough there is a place to get more. The hot tub and pool were amazing and the beach is a 3 minute walk (only because the sand is deep). We woke every day to horses which my daughter loved. The house is quite large and you'll need to ensure your ready for the stairs especially during the unpacking and packing part of the trip. The view from the third floor is amazing and the the second floor deck is great for napping. There was a closet with plenty of umbrellas and chairs for the beach so you don't need to bring that. The drive from the end of the road to the house depends on time of day. Early to mid day the drive is easy and afternoon to evening it gets pretty busy. Don't be afraid to go around slower moving vehicles as you could end up stuck behind them when they get stuck. For parking on the beach you'll need to pre-order the permits online as they only issue 300 a week (this filled up quickly when we went). I would say this stay and this property are top notch and I and my family enjoyed every moment and plan to go back!

Beautiful home, neat location, horrible weather

So peaceful, no one bothers you, all in all good experience

Beautiful home, neat location, horrible weather

First I want to say that the house was priced very well and considering what we paid its a situation of you get what you pay for. The owner is was very nice and responded timely as did his handy men. I just felt like the pictures online do not represent what we had when we got there. The pool even though we could not use it (and we knew that) was an eyesore. The house was surface clean but not deep cleaned but thats okay its the beach. The biggest issue is the water temp and pressure. There was only enough hot water for maybe 1 shower a day and if someone was showering you could not run water anywhere else in the house at the same time. We had an issue with the hot tub not working and being very nasty but we worked with Steve and his guys had it up and running for the last 2 1/2 days of our 7 day trip. We took trash out 2 or 3 times a day so as not to encourage ants but no one ever came to actually pick up the trash so it really piled up for the week and was starting to attract critters. I don't want to say it was horrible because it wasn't. We have stayed at way worse places. I think we were just disappointed because on the pictures we had this awesome idea of what it would be like and it wasn't. It is a lovely home and has great potential if it where to be updated/remodeled a little bit. Like I said though Steve and his team were very good and there is nothing negative to say about them or how we were treated :)

Our stay started out pretty rocky. We had on and off (mostly off) water for the first 3 days which was unfortunate because the location of the house was great but 7 adults in a house with limited to no water at times and barely any hot water was really not the way we wanted to spend our thanksgiving vacation. It also seems like the owners were aware of water issue prior to our arrival but didn’t let us know. Thankfully the maintenance team was awesome. They were so helpful and I honestly felt bad that they were out there digging up water lines, but again they were so wonderful and did the best they could to help us in a bad situation. Thankfully Tuesday evening around 11pm they fixed everything and we had water for the rest of our week. The hot tub also didn’t work which we weren’t informed of prior to our arrival either and was unfortunate because we would’ve used it. The rest of our stay was good it’s just sad we lost the first 2 and a half days of our vacation being extremely aggravated. The interior of the house is good but cleaning of interior and exterior could be better. Some bed linens were old and dingy with old stains …, just basic things that people notice. Overall our stay was okay. Without the water and hot tub issues it would’ve been great.

The property was located in a very serene area of Corolla just off the beach easily located via gps. All aspects of the property was as advertised in the listing. 4x4 is not optional to get there, and is highly advised only at low tide intervals. The wild horses roamed the beach and property freely, which was amazing. The beach can be seen from the balcony, and the waves heard at night. There are no streetlights, so it is dark at night, and the ocean breeze with the windows open was a welcomed relaxing ending to each evening. The sunsets were multi coloured red, pink, orange and stunning. The sunrises were also as equally beautiful. The surf fishing was relaxing and fun, with drum and whiting primarily being the catch in October. The property was well kept and had plenty of room. Definitely recommend doing your food shopping and fishing bait/tackle, prior to arrival as the closest place is the Food Lion, a mere 12 miles away, yet a 30 minute drive or so due to the sandy beach and 4x4 ride to the property. There are some quaint restaurants that are also in the area that we enjoyed. Definitely recommend to visit this place as Steve, the owner was very nice, hospitable, easily reached and welcoming. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and will return. Thank you Steve for allowing us to visit Corolla at your home. Sincerely, Ken and Melanie Myers

We had a fantastic week loading up the Tahoe and spending the day on the beach. We were very pleased with the beach house. Super comfortable furniture, good WiFi, enjoyed watching football on the TV. Appliances worked well. Really appreciated the pool being open first week of October. The beach table and stools were a bonus for lunches on the beach. I would definitely stay again and recommend to family and friends. The only reason for 4 stars were the outdoor spaces. They definitely need some love. Overall, a fun time was had by all!! Thanks, Steve, for sharing your home!

It was very easy to rent. Owner very helpful. Location was great very short walk to beach.

We had a terrific time at Out of the Blue. The spacious house was very well maintained. The kitchen was well equipped and had everything we needed and there was plenty of beach equipment available for use. We never tired of looking at the ocean views and wild horses spent some time in the backyard several days of our visit. It was a short walk to the quiet beach where we had plenty of space to enjoy the outdoors. The pool and hot tub were perfect for relaxing when we weren’t, at the beach. The house was a nice distance away from other houses so it afforded a lot of privacy. We had 2 questions during our stay that were promptly answered by Steve. We had an amazing stay-thank you!

The home is in an amazing location. Short walk to the beach. We seen the wild horses everyday! We were also lucky enough to see dolphins during our stay. The home was clean and ready upon arrival and Steve was very attentive.

Staying at 'Out of the Blue' was an enjoyable experience with my family! The place was spacious with the fun amenities of a private fenced in pool and hot tub. All amenities worked well and were used throughout our stay. The ride to the rental is an experience itself, so saddle up if it's your first time driving on a 4x4 beach! Make sure to deflate your tires before you get to the entrance. There are air pump signs in Corolla and the owner provides tips & tricks for you as well. The wild horses were a joy to see and they will travel by the beach house thorough out the day. You'll get wonderful views of them and the beach on the top deck! We can't wait to go back again in the future.

We really enjoyed our stay. Great location and plenty of room in the house for our family. Beautiful view of the ocean from the decks. Loved seeing the horses every day. The sitting area above the kitchen provided fantastic views. Great communication while booking and throughout the process and stay.

I have pictures of what this property looked like when I arrived and it does not look like the pictures posted. I had problems with the landlord Steve from the get-go because I had 9 girls with me. On the 2nd day I received a message telling me that I was evicted because he assumed that we had too many people in the house at one time. Bugs everywhere, snakes, algae covered entire deck, sand on beds, no sheets on any beds upon arrival, no toilet paper or paper towels, one bath towel per person, sand in mini fridge freezer, horse feces everywhere, huge unpassable pond in front of house for the entire stay, constantly accused of wrongdoing and looking for ways to evict us and keep security deposit. Pictures upon arrival do not lie.

This was such a relaxing vacation! Wild horses every day, that others had to take a tour bus to come see. Quick and easy walk to the beach. Perfect size pool and hot tub was a bonus. Perfect for what we needed to enjoy with our friends and family! Thank you, Steve!

Great, quiet location! Property is just as described, a bit of an adventure getting there and I would highly recommend arriving in the daylight if you’ve never navigated it before, but once we figured it out, it was no problem. The hot tub was amazing, the kitchen was super well stocked, the beach was super convenient, but being one “block” off it added to our privacy and quiet without compromising the view. Property owner and local property managers were amazing and helpful.
