Beautiful and charming is how I would describe this home. Alot of light but not overwhelming. Property management was very responsive and personable. Very clean with a nice welcome basket and the view of the ocean every morning was so relaxing. I'd definitely stay here again and work this property manager. Only suggestion would be upgrade mattresses...they weren't bad just mid and I like a bougie mattress. Overall great stay and just what we needed. This was our first family vacation after losing our matriach and it felt like home...for a week Thank you.

Great extended family get-away

Staying at Maxximum Views was our family's first beach vacation together - six siblings, spouses & kids. The living area was roomy with separate sitting areas, large kitchen island & very large dining table. The crow's nest was a favorite of everyone with great views of both the bay and the ocean.

Great home for the price!

We mostly chose this home because it was super affordable and had a lot of bedrooms. Living space was a little small but it did the trick. House was clean. Walk to the beach was a little farther than we’re used to but overall great stay! Would recommend to friends and family.

Great views and house!

Our group loved this house and it's location. The views from the crow's nest were great and better than anticipated. The house was big, and we enjoyed the large dining table particularly. The neighborhood has nice walkways to the beach as well. The only surprise to us was how steep the driveway was, but it didn't cause an issue for us personally.

Beach Vacation

We had an amazing stay!! The house was beautiful and the area was amazing. The house was so spacious and so cozy. We definitely will keep this house in mind if we’re ever at OBX Corolla again. The only note is that the master bedroom’s shower on the top floor had a loose handle, and then one of the bedrooms on the middle floor had a shower head that would shoot out just on powerful jet, which was hard to shower with. But overall the house was great!

Big house nice location

The house was a great size (fit all 24 or us), and a short walk to beach. Enjoyed the pool and hot tub after beach or on rainy days. It defiantly could use more plates and silverware. (did not have enough to feed 24 people). Would be nice if they had more sitting on the decks like outside table and chairs off kitchen. The bedrooms with the doubunks were a little small hard to get around when you had the trundle bed out. Overall we had a wonderful time!

Overall nice, but a few issues could be improved.

The master bedroom king bed has a problem… not with the mattress, but the support underneath. It slopes downhill. Skimpy on towels, and they need to provide bath mats to step on when you get out of shower. Also not being able to check in until 5pm and having to check out by 9am essentially cheats you out if a day.

Nestled beach escape

The house was very clean. It was as described online. Took a minute to find the bathroom in one of the basement rooms--be sure to look behind the door to the room. The beach was approximately a 10 minute walk. Everything operated smoothly. We did have an error code on the dishwasher, but management was quick to respond. Parts of the house have been updated, including the kitchen. Our group was 11 adults. We do wish there was a second fridge, but we made it work. The outdoor grill was used, as was the pool. Overall, it was a great experience. Would definitely return.

Outer banks 9 bedroom

The property upon arrival was still dirty. Windows were filthy and had fingerprints all over and spit on a couple (all on outside). There was garbage all along side of the house opposite pool side. There were cobwebs all over tables and lamps. We encountered cockroaches so they sent an exterminator. Trash was overflowing so they sent an empty can after we called. Otherwise house was very large and sheets were newly laundered and fresh.. the kitchen was kinda stocked. Griddle doesnt work cause plug dont fit. Housekeeper said outside inst her area to clean. So we cleaned what we could of the dirty hand smears and other stuff. Called from a leak in closet and maintenance brought a blower. Room stunk whole trip. Patty was a great help. She tried to respond right away. I may stay again if given the chance and they clean it up.

Angela, Sorry the house started out on a bad foot but hope that you still had a nice time with your family. We did have an less than ideal family the week prior to your arrival with the cleaner needing extra hands to assist. We do hope you give us a second chance as the house is going through a significant upgrade in the main living level (Kitchen/Living/Dining), flooring and painting throughout.

The Maine Gang

We have 4 families that have traveled together since our girls met in PreK. They are now going into their Junior year of HS! Moms and Dads are great friends and we all travel well together along with the other children and siblings! It’s a big but great group! The house was able to accommodate all bodies with a bed!! So great for all adult couples to have their own bathroom! I would highly recommend a golf cart for beach access. It would be a tough walk, especially in the heat and with little kids and beach gear. Bikes were also helpful. Kitchen/dining area was great! Beautiful large table to host about 22-24! Great Escapes had a great communication throughout our week. For the amount of people it fits, I would also suggest more bowls and utensils. Very random but would be helpful! We had a blast and hope to return to Corolla soon! Thank you Great Eacapes!

This house has the potential for 5 stars. Everything in the house is old. Seems like they haven't changed or fixed anything for years. If they would upgrade some items and maybe paint etc..& clean the outside, it is a Great house. The layout of the house is great, the number of bathrooms is wonderful, the view from crows nest is amazing.

I Won't Rent from VRBO Again

Home was very nice, comfortable, and had a wonderful great room/kitchen/dining room. HOWEVER, "Pantry items are not provided. Disposable items such as trash bags, TP, PT, napkins, foil, cling wrap, Soaps and Detergents." Luckily, one family was driving in, so they brought necessities, otherwise, we'd have arrived late at night with no TP in the house. First time I've EVER seen this nonsense. Second and larger dishwasher never worked, though repairmen came out mid-week. Ice maker also needed repair. Several door locks didn't function.
