Don’t Worry, Beach Happy at Beacon Quarters

10/10 Excellent

"This place was perfect for our family of 5 with small children. Pool was right across the street and short walk to the beach! Jeanine was very responsive and helpful!"

A few step to the beach/Private Pool/Spa/Linens/Beds made/office/Wifi/much more

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our time there and would love to stay there again. The games and puzzles were a hit with our youngest. We loved the pool, and the house was clean, spacious, and just a short walk to the beach, making it easy for us to go there every day."

Point of Views | 995 ft from the beach | Dog Friendly, Private Pool, Hot Tub | Corolla

8/10 Good

"Location was ideal especially walking to the beach and back. House had most of everything we needed. The hot tub was convenient and having the pool on site was great with everyone. Overall good just needs some updates, the yard is not suitable to use, and the driveway is steep we were lucky we had all 3 large suvs. One of the ac units struggled in the lower levels."

Brand New Beautiful Condo at Beach Club in Corolla, Steps from the beach!

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our time at the condo. It was a great location to the beach and had a pool onsite. There was also a delicious little Mexican beach bar right next to the complex. Everything was walking distance and convenient. The condo itself was very clean and we were provided with all the necessities and then some. The hosts even provided my family with new beach and pool toys for the kids. The shower and hose on the outside of the condo was also a life saver for washing the sand off everyday. We would definitely stay here again!"

Message in a Bottle at Beacon Villas, 4 Bedroom Luxury Townhome w/ Corolla Light Resort Amenities

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect for hosting multiple families on a group vacation! A quick drive to a public parking lot gave easy beach access. Plenty of space in the house to have fun with everyone and still hide away from other guests when you need a break lol. Would definitely stay again."

King & Bunk Beds, Beach Parking Pass, & Pets Stay Free

10/10 Excellent

"Calm and inviting space, perfect for a small family to enjoy a stay at the beach. Host is extremely thoughtful and provides practically everything we’ve needed!! The kitchen was perfectly organized and stocked, so easy to use! The hosts were easy to contact and answered any questions"

7BR w/ Heated Pool, Volleyball, Steps to Beach!

8/10 Good

"This review is more about our experience with the property management than the house itself, which is unfortunate because this house has the potential to be one of the best in Corolla. Property wasn’t ready at check-in time on Saturday so we sat in the pool area while the cleaners “cleaned” a 7BR house in 35 minutes, which tells you the level of clean that occurred. Pool area, tiki bar area and hot tub weren’t touched… We reported several issues with the house when we checked in (broken microwave, door on tiki bar wouldn’t roll up properly) and they were never resolved all week. With that in mind, here is our experience. Pros: - House layout was good, plenty of room to stretch out and privacy for a large group. - Nice mix of king-sized beds bunkbeds, all rooms with access to a bathroom. - Kitchen had plenty of utensils and whatnot. - Pool is one of the larger pools we saw in the area. - Hot tub was great. - Whalehead neighborhood and proximity to shopping, restaurants, etc. in Corolla was great. - Proximity to beach was great. - Volleyball court was great, bigger than most in the neighborhood. Cons: - Lack of towels, washcloths, etc. You get a sealed bag with one bath towel and washcloth per bed, no bathmats, additional towels, etc. - Zero documentation on the house. Would have been great to have instructions on Hot tub, Gas Grille (which was filthy BTW). - Kitchen appliances were outdated and falling apart (microwave)"
