Don’t Worry, Beach Happy at Beacon Quarters

8/10 Good

"I loved that it was pet friendly. The condo is perfect for the price. And, the pool is clean and great for relaxing in the sun."

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!"

Crabby Mermaid: 8 Bedrooms, 775 Ft to Beach, Saltwater Pool, Hot Tub

8/10 Good

"Farther to the beach than described, I believe, unless went in a straight line through back yards. I recommend renting a golf cart. Should clean up some trash behind the house , not a big deal. Fire alarm went off three times for no reason. Now for the good!Pool was great! Plenty of space and the kitchen / family room was perfect!Loved the hammock and the views! With the golf cart took a ride every evening in the wonderful neighborhood and the grandkids Loved it!Would definitely recommend!"

Pet-Friendly Beach Escape with Elevator, Pool Cabana Bar w/TV & Scenic Deck View

8/10 Good

"The outside areas of the house needed some work. The bar area was not clean. There were tons of cobwebs all around the bar. All areas around the fence had leaves and debri. Several weeds growing in cracks around the pool area. There was a garbage can full of old rain water. The description said the driveway can hold 6 large SUVs. It may, but we had difficulty juggling a truck and two mid size SUVs in and out. Luckily we don’t have young children because the playground area was not nice. It was weedy and dirty-neglected for several weeks.That being said, the inside was clean and well kept. The amenities inside were adequate for any needs. The elevator was a plus for our older members. Overall, we had a good experience and the house was adequate for our needs. If a little work was done cleaning and sprucing up the outside I would call it a great stay."

New Oceanside,Pool,Walk 2 the beach,No Stairs

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."

1426 - Pelican's Lantern - Spacious Oceanside Corolla Home w/ Private Pool

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!"
