We had the most memorable Thanksgiving stay at this property last year! The home is spacious, beautifully decorated, and incredibly comfortable. We loved the proximity to the beach and grocery stores. We cannot think of a better location or home to share with family and friends for any occasion. We would stay here again!
We enjoyed our stay. The Ryan’s were extremely responsive and you can tell there was a lot of time and thought put into their property. This stay has encouraged us to come back to the OBX. It was the perfect place for some R&R!!
Very well appointed newer home in an excellent location.
One of the cleanest Vrbo’s we’ve stayed at...inside & out....BY FAR!!!!!! Owners are easy to communicate with.
Thanks for a wonderful stay!
Such an awesome stay at this house. The backyard was so much fun with the pool and hot tub. House was very clean, located in a beautiful quiet neighborhood. The host was very responsive/helpful during our stay. Only a short walk to the beach along a nice trex deck trail. Don’t hesitate to book this home, you will love it.
Well-equipped, beautiful house. Small, but very nice heated pool. A nice 15 minute walk to the beach. Close to downtown Corolla.

I’m so happy to hear you enjoyed the house and heated pool. I’m sorry to hear it took you longer to walk to the beach than advertised. I’m always available to communicate if something doesn’t seem right and I can assure you are taking the quickest path to the beach. Thank you for booking Marine Life OBX and we hope you all stay with us again in the future.
The house is so comfortable and clean that we preferred to stay in nearly every night versus going out for food or entertainment. The walk to the beach is just about 10 minutes and the entire property is very well-maintained. Communication was top notch.
The owner was very responsive and everything lived up to expectations. Everyone actually thought it was new construction. The house was well thought out and appointed. Would highly recommend:

Thank you for the kind words. We cannot wait to host you soon again.
This house is beautifully appointed, inside and out. Weather didn’t cooperate during our stay but the heated pool and hot tub saved the day. The location was convenient to the beach and Corolla’s attractions. Most importantly, host Lisa was very responsive to any questions and we truly felt like honored guests — not just anonymous weekly renters.
This house is a gem. It has pretty much anything you could want in a beach home and is exactly as pictured here on VRBO. Lisa is very communicative and made checking in and out very easy. You cannot go wrong booking this home. We hope to return someday very soon! Thank you for opening up your wonderful home to us so we could enjoy it for our vacation!

Thank you so much Emily for the wonderful review. We are so happy you enjoyed your stay and we look forward to hosting you again in the future. 😊
The house was amazing! Everyone loved the pool and especially the hot tub. The rooms were spacious, the social areas were so cozy and well lit. A few of us sat outside on the top floor patio and watched shooting stars. The short walk to the beach was very convenient. We will definitely be back.
The house perfect for two family with five young children 6-2 years old. We enjoyed the pool and the beach daily. Plenty of space for all us to spread out or snuggle up on the downstairs or upstairs levels. Kitchen was fully stocked, we cooked or grilled most meals at the house for the week. Lisa was very great at communicating, check in and check out were easy and seamless.
We absolutely loved our stay at Marine Life OBX! We were a group of 7 (2 families) and the space and accommodations were perfect for us. Very spacious, clean, and well-equipped home with all of the great vacation amenities - pool, hot tub, beach gear, tiki bar, great back yard for cornhole (rented), downstairs fridge, etc! Beach access is a 10 minute walk or 3 minute drive to public parking. Lisa was very responsive and welcoming and provided a wealth of information about the area. We would definitely book this wonderful home in the future. Thank you!!
The house was well decorated and tastefully appointed throughout. It is very nice home and everything was new and the photos are as advertised. Our family of five enjoyed everyone having a separate bedroom and bathroom with a large dining space for family dinners. There are many balconies and outdoor spaces to relax, not to mention the hot tub, pool, and tiki hut. We enjoyed the beach a short walk away and the stores and dining options nearby in Corolla. Lisa was a tremendous host answering questions and providing recommendations. It was a week that we enjoyed and would recommend to all.
Great quiet neighborhood, located near anything you could need.
We encountered a cold snap for our stay, so beach time was sparse - but, our water play was plentiful thanks to the heated pool and hot tub! My son made it a point to be in the pool every day of our trip - loved it, and his first time in a hot tub!
Pool and backyard was mostly private (neighbor on one side has visibility from their deck)...but very enjoyable and relaxing, to the point that we had to force ourselves to leave the property.
We left the property for some half-day trips/activities, but the group was always happy to arrive back to the comfortable confines of the house!
Last minute decision to rent a house for the weekend. We absolutely loved the house. Everything was clean and as shown in the pictures. While there we needed assistance with the hot tub, in less than 5 minutes they were there and assisted us. The heated pool was a nice addition as well. The area is quiet yet close to whatever you might want to do in Corolla. The communication with the owners is pretty much easy, getting into the home as well. We most certainly will consider and recommend this home and any others the owners of this home might have.
We had an absolutely fantastic stay at this rental! From the moment we walked in, we were impressed by how spacious the layout was—there was more than enough room for our family of four to spread out and truly relax without feeling like we were on top of one another.The amenities really set this place apart:The Game Room: The shuffleboard table and pinball machine were massive hits. We spent every evening engaged in some friendly family competition!The Backyard Oasis: The pool area is gorgeous. We spent most of our afternoons soaking up the sun and swimming; it felt like our own private resort.The Location: You couldn’t ask for a better spot. The walk to the beach was incredibly easy and quick, making it a breeze to haul our gear down for a day on the sand.If you’re looking for a comfortable, fun, and perfectly located getaway, this is it. We’re already looking forward to coming back!
Rented this property for a ladies weekend. The layout upstairs was wonderful and great for a large group. Fantastic furniture and decor throughout the home made made the trip feel like a true getaway. The beds are very comfortable and views from all rooms beautiful. The extra fridge downstairs was great to have and would be awesome in the summer for bbqs. So sad we were here out of season and couldn’t use the pool but loved being able to see it lit up at night and we were still able to use the tiki hut area. Noticed the home came with a ton of beach stuff for in season visitors. The neighborhood is beautiful and safe and great for walking. Enjoyed seeing the deer in evenings. The kitchen was stocked with every appliance one could need. You can tell the owners have put a lot of thought and love into this home to make it enjoyable for everyone. It would be fantastic for families but I think the amount of stairs would be hard for elderly. The owner is very responsive and extremely helpful. Not sure I have ever received a more well put together informational booklet on a home- very much appreciated. We hope to return to this home again!
