Basic beach house
The house is simple with classic, if dated, beach decor. It was generally as pictured. It is aged and the carpets are well worn and there was not much comfortable common area seating for our group. The grill needed a good cleaning. The management company was very responsive when we asked for the propane to be refilled and for a hose.

Family Vacation
The area was great and the house was more than comfortable for a family reunion of 10 people. The beach was a short walk away which makes it easy for those with younger kids.

Great house and location - need to work on some things
We saw roaches a couple of times which was not great. The morning of our check-in I received a call that the a/c was out on the top floor, which is where the living area and kitchen are. The woman I spoke with told me they had known since Tuesday but for some reason waited until Saturday, when we were already on our way to tell us. They did provide window units but they were very loud and didn't keep up in the middle of the day nor when we were cooking. I was surprised that they didn't check in mid-week to see how we were. The top small bedroom was unbearably hot and there were no screens on any of the windows, so we couldn't open the windows in the evenings. The sliding door to the main porch was inoperable but my brother is luckily a mechanic and was able to fix it. I told them my sister was 30 weeks pregnant and my 80 year old dad was with us, I thought they would care more about their comfort in the heat, but alas.

Great place to stay!
Overall my family and I had an amazing stay here! It was clean, close to many shops/restaurants, and a short walk to the beach!
We did run into a few issues as far as two toilets were messed up upon arriving and had to get those fixed, then the AC upstairs on the third level was not working properly which resulted in them having to install 2 window AC units.
While no one wants to have to experience anything wrong or needing maintenance done while on their vacation, I will say they were very quick to respond and quick to get someone out there to resolve said issues.
Overall I would return to stay here again in the future as we love Corolla!!

Great Beach Week
The house worked perfectly for our family and friends. So much space, many outdoor decks, a great hot tub. The kitchen was wonderfully outfitted so we were able to make all our planned menus very easily. Easy, short walk to a beautiful beach.
