Nice location!

Overall, good experience and relaxing home for our vacation. I greatly appreciated the beach equipment the homeowners provided for our use. The house is in need of some minor improvements like exterior painting and landscaping but this did not affect our enjoyment of the property.

Corolla beach house

The house was clean and everything was in good order. No complaints. The beach gear was a bit haphazard but adequate. We enjoyed the small pool, hot tub, and pool table. Great house for a mixed group like ours.
