Our family of six had a fantastic stay here! The house is very comfortable. We enjoyed the many little "extras" the owners provided including the two beach carts, chairs and bikes, as well as their large movie collection, games and puzzles. We had several nice evenings where we cooked at the house and enjoyed hanging out together. The homeowner Ed was very communicative both before our arrival and throughout our stay and provided many recommendations for restaurants and other fun things to do in the area. The house is also conveniently located to the neighborhood community pool and is about 3 blocks off the ocean (5-10 minute walk). We had a great time and hope to be back again!

We had a great stay. Our two families from VT traveled with our high school graduates for their graduation trip. We were close to lots of activities and really enjoyed spending a lot of time fishing at at the 4x4 beach. We enjoyed the hot tub at the house and the community pool as well. The kitchen was well stocked to cook instead of always eating out. The house fit us well. We hope to return again in the future. Our communication with the owners was great.

Had a great vacation in Corolla. The house was very clean and nicely decorated. The hot tub was a huge hit and the pool was 100 yards away. It was nice having access to the bikes. Ed was great to work with. We had one small issue with the cable app. Ed made himself available and we solved it quickly. Will absolutely rent here again. Thanks for the great week Ed!

Takes a good 30-45 min from bridge to get to house but once there the neighborhood was great , 4 min walk to beach, pool across street. Host very receptive to not having enough hangers & sent to us same day. Restaurants/ shops/ ice cream/ putt putt liquor store all close 1 -2 drive or can bike it or walk. Lighthouse nearby had great views from top. House was good overall. Lots of positives: hot tub, kitchen stocked, (gift cards were nice add- thank you) bikes were a plus but 4/6 adult bikes were usable. Kids bikes not sure about. Lots of books and games. Master bedroom nice shower and bathroom, but the chest of drawers need work, could barely slide drawers in and out, need wood sanded or cut down-Very annoying. Daughter and I rode bikes to a wild horse tour ( back of a side padded pickup truck) such a bucket list kind of thing to do. Super fun! Love outer banks except the flies were out of control annoying anywhere you eat outside- not sure why but very few were biting. Outer banks vaca packed away a lot of fun memories! Nearby tennisPickleball Courts 50/hr we enjoyed! Overall a great week!

A very nice property and neighborhood! The kids loved the community pool just across the street, and the beach was an easy 5 to 10 minute walk away. Our trip was more convenient with the fully-stocked beach gear in the garage. We look forward to staying there again!

A lovely home that was perfect for our family. The kitchen was well stocked, the furnishings were attractive and comfortable and the kids enjoyed playing with the beach toys, games and bikes. Not to mention watching movies from the endless DVD collection. It was a fairly short walk to the beach with many restaurants and shops nearby. We also enjoyed the local fish markets as well. Ed, our host, was very nice and let us know that he was available to help if there was anything that we needed. Thanks to his attention to detail our stay was perfect.

Comfortable Beach House in Corolla!

Lovely property with a full kitchen, beach supplies (toys, bikes, chairs and even a wagon). We stayed here with my wife, 2 kids and parents and were very happy. A few of the appliances could have been cleaner and in better condition, but overall everything worked just fine.

The house is in a very quiet cul-de-sac that is a 6 min walk from the ocean. It is across Rt 12 from the bay and close to many activities and shopping. The neighborhood boasts a salt water pool and volleyball court. It was a great fit for 4 adults and 3 teens. The king beds were amazing.

Pleasant Stay

We are a family of four with two kids in college. It was nice to spend a quiet week together. The house is big enough for everyone to have their own space when needed. The kitchen is well equipped, and we appreciated the propane grill. We made use of the community pool across the street and the bikes in the garage were used daily. Great location with easy access to stores and activities. Our host was very responsive.

Jerry thanks so much for your review! We used to include several items for our guests in past years but they regularly went missing causing issues on a weekly basis so we removed a few that fell into this category. We may revisit the bath towels again however based on your comments here and what we have heard from others. Thanks again!!

About the host

Hosted by Ed Jackson

Host profile image

We have been avid beach goers (up and down the East Coast) all our lives and are thrilled to be able to share our dream with others! After 10 years of renting other beach houses, we learned what we like and didn't like, and tried to blend this into our home. Our goal is to make it a comfortable and relaxing stay for renters with no worries or problems!

Why they chose this property

We are an active family of 5 and the OBX offers so many options for each and every one of us; from kicking back and relaxing at home, to playing on the beach, pounding the waves, building sand castle masterpieces, long walks, bike rides, shopping and more! We could go on and on!!!!!

What makes this property unique

A single family home provides privacy (and a sense of anonymity if you so desire). Add to that being in a small, safe community close to the beach with everything close. Paradise awaits!
