House was pet friendly and on the canal. The home was easy to access and was well stocked for a vacation. Only concerns were mosquitoes at night but once you follow the recommendations of the homeowner, there were no problems. Highly recommend staying at this home if you’re looking for a quiet, relaxing vacation!

Charming Cottage

Our stay here was excellent! We enjoyed using the kayaks, trying a little fishing, and having a bonfire. The location of the cottage was perfect for spending the day on beach and then coming back to relax in the evening.

Fantastic Waterfront Stay!We had an amazing time at this Corolla Beach property. Check-in was super easy, the home was spotless, and everything inside felt high-end and thoughtfully designed. The kitchen and bathrooms were especially impressive. Loved waking up to the water views — truly a relaxing and luxurious stay. Highly recommend!

The property was amazing and just as advertised. We came for the wild horses and were not disappointed as they appeared multiple times each day. Driving down the beach road was just so much fun to experience. It was the perfect get away for our family of four. Places to rest and relax, near the beach, and water activities in the back.

Had an amazing time! The place was a little smaller than I originally thought it’d be but the outdoor living space more than made up for it! Despite the limited indoor space we were still very comfortable! We were a little worried about driving on the beach for the first time but we had no issues in our Subaru Outback (make sure to air down). We saw the wild horses every day when going to/from beach. Would definitely stay again!

Off-the-beaten-path beach vacation

Our family of 4 had a wonderful time at this charming and comfortable cottage. Driving on the beach was intimidating at first, but it added to the adventure and fun. We also loved using the kayaks and paddle boards to explore the canals and sound. The cottage was very clean and had everything we needed. If you’re looking for a unique way to experience the outer banks, without the crowds and traffic, this is it! We will definitely be back.
