House was beautifully decorated inside, very clean, great size rooms, and hot tub. At an awesome location - just steps away from the beach and town. Any questions we had were answered right away by the owner.

Last minute family vacation

This was a great experience from start to finish! Our hostess was on quick to respond to any questions and went the extra mile during our stay. This home is the perfect location and has a great morning view of the water from the walk up. It was very clean, cozy and the kitchen was well stocked. Also, beds were comfortable! We hope to return again!

Fabulous Location!

Comfortable bedrooms and wonderful comunal space are abounding at this beach house. The location to the beach can’t be beat!! We had pretty much everything we needed for our family vacation to the beach. Kitchen was well stocked - many things we didn’t even use/ need. Only suggestions: get rid of the crib. It isn’t really safe. We had a 3 year old and we were afraid it would fall apart with her in it. We had plenty of space for 11 of us. Enjoyed playing games every night, star gazing and of course going to the beach mere steps away during the day. Thanks!!

Thank you for such a wonderful review. We have someone checking in later in the month that asked about crib or pack in play. Thank you for letting us know the condition of the crib (its been a long time since we used it). There are two pack in plays. Just curious, did you try those also?

Location Location Location!

Just as the pictures and description say, this property is directly across the street from the beach boardwalk. In fact you can see the water from the living room windows. Great views for sunrise, sunset on the decks and easy access to everything Corolla offers. The house is definitley more cottage feeling than a new build with some quirks such as the typical August musty/moisture smells and thinner walls/floors for noise. This adds to the charm in my opinion. Everything is clean and in working order including A/C (ice maker is fantastic!) and amazing dining space for 12 comfortably. FYI for those looking for a yard (we weren’t) but there isn’t one. The beach is your yard :) Though we had a lower level flood from the water heater that did not allow us to use that level, communication was great and the owner took action to resolve quickly. Overall a great first stay in OBX! Thank you!!

Nearly as good as beachfront

Great location directly across street from beach access (closer walk than some of the beachfront homes on the street). Note that there are a lot of steps on the walkway going up and down the dunes, so it's still a bit of a pain to lug beach gear or for people who struggle with lots of stairs (but this is true of all Corolla beach access). The house was great and very well-equipped. It was not lacking for any kitchen utensils, appliances, tupperware, etc. Debbye provides a welcome kit with hand soap, shampoo/body wash, paper towels, etc. Smart TVs and sound machines in every bedroom. A/C worked perfectly and kept the house very cool. Outdoor luggage lift was very handy for unloading the car and moving in. The upper level was a perfect hangout spot for our group with a very comfortable family room/great room area. There are 5 bedrooms (Top floor: 1 king room; Middle floor: 2 queen rooms, 1 double bunk room, 1 twin/king room) and the bottom floor with a sleeper sofa (not a private room and we used a lot for entering/exiting the house). Only downside is hot tub deck is only accessible from two downstairs bedrooms, so anyone else wanting to use it has to walk through those rooms. Debbye is very communicative and wants to make sure you have a great experience. Overall the house felt very welcoming and comfortable due to the decor, furniture, upgraded kitchen + baths (unlike many typical rentals which feel very sterile). Would recommend to anyone with 10-12 people.

We had a great time at Cockle Isle. The owner was easy to communicate with, answering any questions we had. The welcome basket was a very nice touch! The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed for meal prep. The house had a cozy feel, with the owner’s personal touches throughout (good thing, because sadly, we had a fairly rainy week) . It was a terrific layout, lots of room throughout. We were able to enjoy our coffee a few mornings on the top deck with a view of the ocean. That was the other very nice feature…steps to the beach, literally! Great, convenient access to the beach. Being used to New Jersey beaches, the North Carolina beaches were quieter, cleaner, and also had the advantage of bringing our dog to the beach anytime we wanted! The outdoor shower was useful, and in a great location for privacy to enter directly into the house. We enjoyed some of the games and unusual puzzles that were available in the house. Being closer to the northern end of the island, it provided a quieter retreat in the neighborhood itself, but minutes away from the shops and restaurants as well, if you’re looking for entertainment! All in all, our hosts were very accommodating and we would definitely rent again!

We enjoyed this home. It was clean, well appointed, and just steps from the beach. The beds were comfortable which was important for those of us with aging backs. The outdoor shower area was perfect coming in from the beach. And the kitchen and dining areas were perfect for cooking dinners in. There were a few hiccups with appliances and the hot tub but communication was easy and repairs completed as quickly as possible. Our family of 13 made wonderful vacation memories.

This was my families first stay in Corolla and I dont think I could say enough good things. The house was so adorable with all the little cozy things in place to make it feel like a home away from home. The charm and character of the house was unbeatable.The large living space was perfect for everyone to hang out and the big dining table was great for family dinners. The location to the beach was AWESOME. It was so convenient to walk back for a quick lunch or potty break. Debbeye had great communication and made sure we had all the information needed prior to check in and check out. 10 out of 10!
