An amazing stay for our vacation that was perfect for the whole family!

This was our 6th time vacationing in OBX and this property has been our absolute favorite! It was very hard to find a beach house that affordable, great location, consistent reviews and clean! The Jolly Boat checked all of those boxes. Between the detailed pictures of the property as well as the exceptional 5 star reviews we knew that this was the perfect choice for our beach vacation. This house was fully stocked with everything that we needed for a family of 5 with young children and a teenager. We greatly appreciated the bikes for all ages, games, and especially the beach chairs and umbrella that was provided. We had the most memorable week and can’t wait to come back! Thank you Jerry!

Arriving at “A jolly boat” it was everything we had hoped for and more. The house is spotless and located in an excellent location! Would highly recommend and would definitely return!

I can not speak highly enough about this property and the owner Jerry. This is our second year staying at "A Jolly Boat" and it did not disappoint. You are only steps from the beach and the upper deck of the house is perfect to watch the sunrise and stars.

Enjoyed are stay great location .

This is a beautiful, perfectly clean and well maintained home really close to the beach in Corolla. The house itself is updated and nicely equipped with everything you'd need for your beach vacation. The beach is a short walk away, just a short path and then steps over the dune. The house is really close to a grocery store and a very quick bike ride or drive to a great shopping center. We would absolutely stay here again!

We’ve vacationed in the Duck/Corolla area for the past 14 years! The Jolly Boat stands out. We loved the clean feel to the house from the flooring and the air quality, to the kitchen and bathrooms. The location, so close to the beach, and yet so close to the grocery and restaurants/Duck Donuts was an incredible plus. Jerry, our host, was so kind and helpful. The hosts’ thoughtfulness was clear in the quality of the furniture and kitchen appliances, and in having clean linens and towels provided. Thank you so much for a most relaxing and wonderful time at your home, and hope to be back next Summer!

It was our second time to stay at this house. The location of the house is fantastic and it only takes 4 minutes to walk to the beaches. The house is very clean. The owners provide many beach chairs, bicycles, beach umbrellas, and other entertaining items, which are huge pluses for the guest. We just reserved a week for our 2024 vacation.

Our family has stayed in the OBX for over a decade and this has been our favorite property. The house is perfection. From its layout to its cleanliness to its amenities, this home has all you need to have the perfect getaway. Jerry and Gail are the absolute best and go above and beyond to be sure everything is perfect! Absolutely the best rental out there!

Perfect mix of beach cottage with updated flair! Excellent location, and owner very responsive. The house exceptionally clean! We loved our stay😊

This was such a sweet property! We stayed here with our two children and my husbands parents. The rooms were spacious and had plenty of storage in them. The children’s bunk room is closest to the living room and with the door closed and their white noise machine on, they had no disturbance with us watching a show, talking or going in and out to hang on the deck. The washer, dryer, fridge & dishwasher all look brand new! The kitchen was stocked with all the necessary items to make a meal and the deck has a comfy 2 seater hammock swing. We did have a few issues upon arrival with spotty internet and a confused AC service guy playing around with our AC. I mention this only because Jerry was so quick to respond and resolve these minor issues, neither taking away from our wonderful experience. I also really appreciated that the home was very child friendly and had some toys, games, books, beach toys/chairs and umbrella, and a booster chair. It made our stay that much nicer. From the end of their deck to the beginning of the boardwalk is truly 60 steps. Just a heads up, the boardwalk is double that length and some recent dune repair adds several flights of steps to get up and down at the end, maybe 40 steps both ways. Obviously that is out of the owners control, I just thought it’d be helpful info. Truly though, this was an incredible week stay and the home was perfect for us! Thank you Jerry!

Very comfortable amd clean home with nice updates! Convenient location to the beach and grocery store! Bikes were a nice bonus. Quick and Easy communication with Jerry

My family and I loved our stay here! Jerry was easy to communicate with and very accommodating. The property itself was great! Is has a very clean and attractive open feel in the common area. The beds were very comfy. And the entire place was very clean and had a modern yet beachy vibe; it was awesome. There was a great sand area for the kids under the house and plenty of chairs for the adults to sit and chat while watching. Would absolutely stay here again!

Perfect house for a couple or family. Very clean and comfortable with easy beach access. Jerry was a wonderful host and very accommodating. Would definitely consider renting again. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Great house close to the beach accommodated 8 of us comfortable and plenty of stuff to do would highly recommend in wanting to go to OBX

From the beginning Jerry commu

The house was very clean and well taken care of. The towels were wrapped in cling wrap so you know they are clean. The beds were comfortable and the sheets and blankets were all clean. All the appliances are new and you have access to pretty much anything you need like toasters, blenders etc. The Beach is just a short walk away and is easily accessible, the outdoor heated shower is also a plus. First time at the outer banks and was definitely a relaxing and enjoyable experience.

Excellent place to stay. Kids loved the games and toys you supplied.

As mentioned in many other reviews, Jerry truly is the perfect host! He made everything so easy, from check-in to restaurant suggestions that I asked for, and always responded quickly to any questions we had. The location was perfect - nice and quiet and close to everything you need and also to our favorite town - Corolla. The boardwalk to the ocean is just steps away and the beach was absolutely beautiful. The house was super clean and decorated just perfectly for a beach house. We highly recommend A Jolly Boat for your next Outer Banks vacation. We can’t wait to go back!

Our family of four had a wonderful time staying at “A Jolly Boat”. The property was clean, well equipped, beautifully updated, and very comfortable for our week at the beach. Communication with the owners was great and they were very accommodating. The beach boardwalk is nice and close to the house, and our kids enjoyed using the tennis court next door. The week flew by way too fast! We hope to be back soon!

This was our second year staying at Jerry’s house and it did not disappoint! The house was clean, organized and had everything we needed. Great location for a beautiful getaway to our favorite location!

The property was exactly as advertised. Jerry is a very kind and very communicative owner. The house was clean and obviously well cared for. The location is steps from the beach and very close to amenities. Would highly recommend.

Excellent vacation home everything was spot on and clean and well maintained.. perfect house only thing it lacks is a kureig

The house is fantastic. We liked the location, cleanliness, setting, and the extra bikes and beach chairs and umbrellas.

On July 10, 2022 we arrived to find a very clean, bug and spider free, newly renovated beach cottage close to all amenities of Corolla. The walk to the beach is very short, and we loved the decks and outdoor furniture.

Great week at the beach. Well stocked house with tons of extra amenities that we didn’t end up using but was nice to have the choice. Beach gear, kitchen tools. Plenty of linens. Communication with owner was fantastic, Would definitely recommend and stay again.

This property was updated, well maintained, very comfortable and the beach was just a brief walk down the path. We enjoyed riding the bikes, having beach chairs was a bonus! From the roof deck we could hear the ocean.at night and watch the stars. It was a great place to relax after a long school year!

Jerry is very responsive for any needs and provides great recommendations. The house is recently remodeled and is very clean. It’s in a great location and easy access to the beach. Definitely will stay here again when coming back to OBX.

A wonderful location, a lovely clean light space, the cleanest storage shed I have ever seen!---- loaded with bikes, racquets, beach chairs and more, an outdoor grill (with gas, thank goodness!)- everything needed for a fun getaway. Excellent communication from host and an easy beach access. All in all, we are very glad to have lucked in to such a good rental.

This property appears to be recently renovated inside and out with great attention to detail. It was very clean and communication with Jerry (the owner) were all very nice, including once on the phone. The location is very convenient to the beach and the amenities include use of a beach umbrella, chairs and bikes -- both big plusses in our view! We will definitely look at this property's availability before our next visit to OBX.

Loved ocean sands. Excellent location right near the beach, Harris Teeter and the golf course.

Lovely house. Hosts were super nice! Our Family had a great week. Super close to the beach. Weather was perfect and had some great beach days. Would definitely recommend!
