10/10 Excellent

"We had such a wonderful, relaxing weekend here! The location was great, very clean, and the house was the perfect size for a couple traveling with a dog. We loved the pool and amenities, the bed was incredibly comfortable, and renting bikes to explore and catch the sunset was one of our favorite parts of the trip.One helpful tip: the walk to the beach was a little longer than we expected, but we found it super easy to drive to a nearby lot and park. Overall, such a comfortable beach getaway. We’d definitely stay again!"

10/10 Excellent

"Super clean, modern, comfortable, and beautifully decorated. The grounds are very nice, as was the outdoor pool. Love the assigned parking space. Really is a 10 Min walk to the beach! A added plus was the public parking near beach entry, very convenient. We arrived early and had a bit of a pause hearing back about getting in early. I saw later that the response was initially sent shortly after my request, but did not pop up on the VRBO text area for a while. Nice location, close to Corolla shops and about 5 miles from grocer. Rented cart and bikes, that was super easy and close. Info booklet provided was very helpful. Would definitely reserve again."

8/10 Good

"The house was beautiful. There was a lot of space. The kitchen was renovated to all the pool deck. Chairs are new. The pool, hot tub are amazing. Here was the disappointing part. I don't think any of the showers were cleaned. There was urine around the bottom of one of the toilets. All the main areas were super clean like countertops fridge, stove, etc. but the detailed stuff was not. I did a lot of cooking. Five of the pots were dirty and there was stuck on food on them probably due to not Having a scrub sponge. The owner should invest in in nonstick pots. There was a bar of soap in the downstairs bathroom there was a hair clip in the bathroom on the second floor. I had to spend two hours cleaning when I got there. Also two beds didn't have the top sheet I had to ask for more linens and towels. I only say this was frustrating because the cleaning fee was 380 and the linen fee was 250 on top of that. That's a lot of money and the cleaning staff should've paid attention to details. There should be a checklist of the entire house. Bring everything there was no starters except for one roll of toilet paper and one roll of paper towel towels no sponges no dish soap nothing. Overall, we enjoyed our stay it was a beautiful property. These are my only critiques that housekeeping and linen people will be held more accountable, especially with paying these high fees."

10/10 Excellent

"We found the home spacious and cozy for movie nights with the family. 8 dining chairs and 4 bar stools worked well for meals for the 12 of us. The house was exceptionally clean and all the kids and adults loved their rooms. There were even brand new shower curtains in each shower. I called about a few things that the realty company handled for me right away. ( we wanted bikes) .The house is very close to the beach and all the shopping and grocery stores within 5 minutes. Great pool and hot tub!"
