This was a great beach house in Corolla for my family of husband, two 20-something kids and 88 year old mother. This was our first time in the Outer Banks and we loved the area. The cleaners were not as thorough as they should have been, my daughter found underwear and socks behind her door and there were tampon wrappers on the floor in my mother's room. The property manager suggested the cleaners were spending more time sanitizing than actual cleaning. Otherwise than that small blip, everything in the house was great. Excellent remodeled kitchen with everything you could use on your vacation. Good bedrooms and bathrooms too (except no comforters on any of the beds). Great view (a little distant, but still) of the ocean. The wooden Adirondack chairs were very rough though and snagged every one of our brand new Land's End beach towels, I have major runs in every towel!! And because the chairs are so low, you can't see the ocean once you sit down. The living room was well equipped with nice TV, DVD and great selection of movies which was helpful since it rained hard for 3 days while we were there. Rain didn't bother us, we had plenty of books, board games and time well spent together. There are fun things to do in the area, we went to the Jockey's Ridge State Park to see the giant sand dunes and the Wright Brother's Memorial Park. Also saw the wild horses! Harris Teeter grocery store is very close and has a terrific selection. Only downside to the Outer Banks is the one road in and out and that makes for a long wait coming and going on Saturday, the most common check in day. There is a longer walk to the beach we are used to from beaches in South Carolina but that's because the dunes are so much wider and longer to cross over. We very much enjoyed our vacation in this house and we would come back to this house!!
