This was our second stay at the Corolla Beach Cottage, and we can't wait to return. The house was immaculately clean, upon arrival. It is beautifully decorated and stocked with anything you could possibly need, and a few things you may not realize you needed. We love that the porches are covered, so even a rainy afternoon is still a good day to sit and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
We were fortunate to see the horses hanging out in the yard on a few occasions. If you are considering renting this home, please don't hesitate. You will fall in love with this home and the area the minute you arrive. The owners are wonderful to work with and very quick to respond. The locals are very friendly, also!
We look forward to booking our next visit!

Randy and Susan’s house was absolutely beautiful! Had all the appliances you could ask for, plus spices, dishwasher soap, paper towels, zip lock bags cleaning products, etc. Seeing the horses every day in the yard made some great pictures for cards ! The only thing we didn’t like was the ride on the sand was about a 20 min drive with many trucks and keeps passing on the sand and hurricane Lee made the surf high and a few days we couldn’t get out .
It a great place for people that want no one around and love walking in the sand , it was a long walk to the beach but you can drive there in about 5-7 mins and up over the dunes.

This place was absolutely amazing. The drive along the ocean on the beach to the property was priceless. Saw dolphins our first day. Being able to put our toddler in the jeep with everything she needs for the beach and driving seconds onto the beach without having to pull a beach cart and all our goods was absolutely amazing. We vacation every year and this was our absolute favorite place so far. We were so excited to see the wild horses in the front yard and on the beach. Would definitely recommend.

This home is perfect for a secluded beach getaway. Fully stocked with everything you could need and spotless when we arrived. Randy and Susan reached out to me a few times prior to arrival to give me updates and tips which I very much appreciate. We saw wild horses at the property and surrounding block every single day. I have already recommended this home to two people and will probably return in the future. Thank you so much for an awesome vacation!

This is our third time staying at this property, and it was just as amazing and perfect as always. The owners are always so helpful and available for any needs. The house itself is always clean and well stocked. It feels comfortable from the moment you walk into the home. The location is ideal - quiet, yet has quick and easy access to the beach. Already dreaming of the next time...

This house is perfect. We had such a great week here. The house and property are immaculate and the location is amazing. We saw groups of wild horses everyday and the beach near the house is beautiful. We would love to return soon.

We, our two young adult children and our dog spent an ideal week at Corolla Cottage. After arriving to a cool oasis (with the air conditioner at the perfect temperature and soothing music playing on the TV), we especially appreciated the welcome note and bag with paper towels, toilet paper and a sponge and the surprise bottle of wine, which we enjoyed for Father's Day. The cottage had everything we needed, including puzzles and games; was a short walk to the beach; and even better gave us horses as neighbors. We woke up two mornings to a herd of four horses relaxing under the house and had frequent horse sightings when we ate dinner on the front porch nightly.

We don’t know the exact number of times we have stayed at the beach cottage but were closing in on double digits. The house is awesome. It is in a perfect location with easy trek to the beach. Very relaxing on both decks and has everything you need, even the wild horses love the house. They prefer to hangout under the deck in the evenings and early morning you can hear them walking around on the wood walkway under the house. So you don't have to go far to see them but please obey the law and do not touch them, feed them, etc. enjoy their company from a distance. Thank you for everything Randy and Susan!!!!

This was the perfect place. We absolutely have to say this is the best vacation rental we've ever had, bar none. We'd definitely stay again and would recommend to anyone visiting the horse reserve area of Corolla.

We so much enjoyed our first time staying on the 4-wheel drive beach. The spot was relaxing and quiet. We had visits from the wild horses almost every day as they grazed on the lawn. The walk to the beach was close and good exercise. Randy and Susan were excellent hosts providing more for our stay than we had expected. We will definitely make plans for a return stay.

Absolutely beautiful house! Wild houses walk right through yard with viewing possible on porches. Four wheel drive a must- will not be able to drive in neighborhood or beach without it.

We had the best vacation ever at this great property! It was quite an adventure from driving on the beach to get there to seeing the beautiful wild horses many times right in the yard. The owners kept us very informed since the hurricane had gone thru and there was flooding and problems at the property. All was well when we got there, but it was so nice of them to keep us informed. We could of had better weather but the last two days were just beautiful! We hope to come back next year! Our two dogs enjoyed their first trip to the beach!

We had the best week! The house was beautiful and quaint! It was quiet and peaceful- exactly what we needed.
Easy access to the beach ( short walk or drive) and the horses came to visit the house a few times. Highly recommend for a relaxing vacation!!

Definitely Recommend! Everything is clean and maintained, even the BBQ. The owners are very responsive whenever we've needed to contact them. It's hard to find a smaller house on the 4x4 within our budget so we are always happy to be able to reserve a week here for our trip.

3rd time and still a charm!
This was our third year here and we love it more each time. We even booked 2023 here already! The house is clean, modern and very comfortable. The quiet of the beach and horses are just what we need to get away and relax. This house is a gem we plan to visit annually!

The property was very nice with many extras in the kitchen in the way of cookware and even spices. We saw the horses several times a day including in our yard! Lovely home and a unique experience.

Great location to get away from it all and relax.
House was stocked everything we needed and more. Property was very clean. It is close to the beach and has porches to sit and relax after your beach day.
The owners respond quickly if they are needed. They are friendly and easy to work with. This is a place we plan on returning to.

This home was absolutely perfect. The pictures online hid nothing, there were no surprises. The location is away from everything and very relaxing. Driving on the beach was not difficult, easily navigated with an F-150. We will be booking again for sure. House is well equipped kitchen wise for cooking and the grill was a plus for sure. Horses almost everyday, one day they were even under the horse. We definitely made some awesome memories and this place is perfect for a couple or a small family. Only note to add is the linen service is not only towels but bed sheets! Haha, my mistake. Walmart had bed sheets, problem solved. Once again thank you for sharing your home with us and look forward to renting again, next time two weeks.

This was a wonderful trip. The property was well equipped and very clean. The location was so nice. We saw many sets of horses each day. When the kids were in the Ocean with their SUPs, they were surrounded by dolphins. We had an amazing stay. Thanks for sharing your home with us.

Amazing Family Vacation!
If you are looking to stay in the 4X4 area you should do yourself a favor and go ahead and book this property! The hosts were responsive and sweet. The house was charming, relaxing, and in the most beautiful place! Daily visits with wild horses, dolphins, and pelicans made this active Maine family so happy. We would 100% say again! Miss it already!

The house was perfect for our family of 5. It was updated, clean, and has a big spacious main living area. The location was great since it is not next to other houses, and just a quick drive to the beach. Staying in the 4x4 area is very unique and provides a great secluded getaway. Susan is also responsive and was very accommodating to our last minute requests. Thank you for the great vacation!

Thank you, Randy and Susan, for sharing your wonderful home! We loved every minute of our stay.
To anyone considering this home for their vacation, rest assured - it is immaculately clean, roomy and comfortable, the check-in check-out is super easy, and it's in a perfect location, away from crowds.
You will not find a better deal in all of Corolla!
We were visited by the horses every single day and took almost a hundred pictures and videos to reminisce over in the years to come. The beach drive portion took about 15-20 minutes, (fyi, we were in a 2000 Honda CRV with 4WD). We aired the tires down to 17 psi and had no trouble.
Thanks again, Randy and Susan, for all your helpful tips and communication during our stay. You're the best!
