We had a relaxing and fun time at this house. There are so many small conveniences around every corner, so it feels like home away from home. The location was a short walk to the beach and close to shops and restaurants. The heated pool and hot tub were so nice, and the amount of pool floats and kids toys made it so enjoyable. The very best part was not having to bring a crib, high chair, baby monitor, outlet covers, etc because the owner thought of everything. We had such a nice time and would love to go back again.
5.0 / 5.0
We were all impressed with the details throughout the home. From the very well stocked kitchen to the sound machine in the bedrooms to the night lights in the bathrooms. It met all our needs and exceeded our needs with regards to making sure the home was safe for the littlest family members. They had outlet covers, a crib, two high chairs which got used and also gates for the stairs! Highly impressed. Saving the best for last - our host told us she would let us know if we could access the house earlier and she ACTUALLY DID let us know! Great home Megan!

Beautifully decorated home for a relaxing family vacation. There were a dozen of us. We had plenty of room for sleeping, eating, and gathering. The home is supplied with EVERYTHING you would need or want. The owners are very thoughtful and very communicative which was appreciated. We prepared 3 meals daily and were grateful for a kitchen very well stocked. The boardwalk for the beach access is visible from the front yard. The pool water temperature was perfect making the pool area very enjoyable. We would recommend Go Your Own Wave to all :)

This property is prettier than the pictures show. There was so much space for everyone in our party. The pool was perfectly warmed for our chilly April visit. The kitchen was out of this world full of everything you would need for cooking, the aqua back splash was so pretty. Megan checked in and was available if needed

We loved our latest stay at Go Your Own Wave! The host, Megan, was great to work with and made us feel as though this was our home away from home. The house is well-maintained and stocked with everything we needed to enjoy our Thanksgiving. We noticed many upgrades since our last visit two years ago. Our favorite was the pool heater! The water was so warm, and the kids and adults had hours of fun splashing around. We also loved that it was just a short drive to the 4x4 beaches, so we could air down and see the wild horses. Many happy memories made. We look forward to returning!

This house was a great find for our friend group. Multiple floors, all with attached bathrooms so everyone could have their own space. A great spot if you have babies as they are equip with a good amount of baby related items. The best pool closet, we recommend!

The place was plenty big to accommodate our group and had a beautiful deck and screened in porch that I enjoyed. The pool was excellent and the proximity to the beach was exactly as listed. It was very close to the public beach access and a short walk. We had a wonderful time on our first trip to Corolla in the Outer Banks. Megan was very easy to communicate with via the Vrbo app.

Go Your Own Wave was a fantastic property for our two families. We had more than enough space and everything was exactly as shown in pictures and described.
All our questions were answered in less than 24 hours, everything was in working order which made our trip very relaxing! We would love to come back again next year.

We have done same trip w/VRBO & other sites. I have the highest ratings & treat rentals like my own. The Outer Banks NC is known for larger houses and people travel with groups. This owner has a requirement very outside of the norm and it is NOT clearly called out in the VRBO listing. Buried in a 10 page contract it states family by blood or marriage only. The owner watches the cameras very closely - creepy. You can't even have another family over for lunch. I put 10 adults and 4 kids in my request but didn't realize friends weren't allowed, only my husband and I are drinking age so no parties or noise complaints. We had to get a lawyer engaged and rent a 2nd house last minute while down on vacation. It was my mistake for not noticing this requirement in the contract but I don't normally feel I need legal review for a 1 week rental. I was honest and said there were friends, offered higher security deposit, offered to add a new person to the lease, offered to move most to another location, owner clearly wanted the house back for themselves this week and would not work with us at all. VRBO tried calling her to explain contract is unexpected and the type of renter I am, she was unwilling to cooperate. Her property mgmt co were shocked when asked to come inspect and saw our calm group. If planning to bring anyone who isn't officially your family (even 1 person) RENT A DIFFERENT HOUSE!!! Also tons of worms on 1st floor. Many others to pick from!

House was clean and in good repair. SO many extras provided. Kitchen is very well stocked and bedrooms are spacious and so comfortable. Beautiful decks with great safe access for small children and dog. Pool area was a great hit and also had safe gates for young ones. Excellent family home rental for young ones and a pet. Easy beach access, beautiful neighborhood with a great beach! Would stay again in a heartbeat with my family! Owners are amazing and take great care of their beachhouse.

The communication with the property owner was fantastic, never had any issues and my questions were always answered promptly. As far as the house goesโฆ it looks exactly as listed! Which in and of itself itโs a great thing. Itโs in the perfect location, a few minutes walk to the beach and around the corner from multiple grocers and little shops. This home has everything you need (coming from a family that traveled with an infant) to ensure you can pack just a little bit lighter! I highly recommend this stay to anyone whose looking and I canโt wait to come back!!

The house was wonderful. We were impressed with how clean it was on arrival. The owner was very helpful and nice. They seem to have done a lot to update the home, and the pictures don't really do it justice to how nice it is. My kids LOVED going in the color changing hot tub each night. The neighborhood and proximity to the beach were outstanding. We loved all the decks. We could feel the stress melt away as we sat out there and enjoyed the view and peacefulness of sunrise and sunset. This was our first time vacationing in OBX and this experience convinced us to return in the future. Overall and easy and fun New Year celebration!

We wanted to try something different this year so we decided to spend Christmas at the beach. The house was spacious and very clean when we arrived. It was well furnished and the kitchen was fully equipped for preparing a holiday meal. The house has great amenities and is an easy walk to the beach. We would love to stay here again.
5.0 / 5.0
Best stay Iโve had in the OBX. Weโve rented a lot of houses here over the years and the group consensus was that this was one of the cleanest and nicest. You can tell itโs well maintained by the owners. Megan was great to work with and very responsive to any questions we had. The house is in a great location and the lots are big so youโre not right on top of your neighbor. Thereโs a foot path to the beach practically right off the driveway and itโs close to the stores and restaurants. Hot tub was awesome. Kids especially loved having their own โbig kidโ bunk room. After staying further south for many years, weโll be returning to Corolla. Highly recommend this house.

My family and I traveled 12hrs for our Thanksgiving celebration just to be greeted with BEDBUGS! After the discovery the owner didnโt contact us back for several hours and had Zero empathy when told about the situation. She kicked us out of the property stating she wanted pest control to come. Megan gave us 2hrs to get off her property or she was going to call the police. VRBO was very nice and gave my family and I 3 hotel rooms. Megan never even apologized! DO NOT STAY IN THIS PROPERTY THE WHOLE BOTTOM LEVEL IS INFESTED!!!!!!

Our stay at Go Your Own Wave was wonderful! The one word I would use to describe the property is, comfortable. It has everything you need. It was clean and everything was in working order. It was an easy walk to the beach, within 15 minutes of opening your eyes in the morning you could be at the beach with coffee in hand to watch the sunrise! We did almost every day.
The house itself is in transition and the new owners are doing great at updating the property. We all enjoyed the pool, hot tub, and outside shower. Star gazing from the upper deck (decks galore, front, back, side) was an evening highlight (seeing the Milky Way and the ISS was pretty cool). We rented bikes and enjoyed biking in the neighborhood of Whalehead and Corolla. Itโs a very family friendly neighborhood. The beach is nice with many public access points. Coral, the closest access path to the beach is only two houses down, and has just been renovated to include bike parking and a shower station!
The owners are very easy to communicate with and the check in/out process was a breeze. We all had a very enjoyable week in a very comfortable home! Go Your Own Wave is a โhomeโ we would go to again!

We had another great stay at Go Your Own Wave. House was very clean. The owners have done a great job continually updating the property. Megan is always so thoughtful and responsive, truly one of the best hosts weโve had. We love the Whalehead neighborhood and will be returning to this house next year!

Go Your Own Wave provided our family all that we needed and then some!! We truly enjoyed the house! It was spacious, very well equipped with all you need and then some. We loved having the pool and hot tub as well as access to the many beach items in the carport shedโฆfrom several beach chairs, sand toys, wagon, corn hole Etc. Only a couple miles to the drive on beach which we thoroughly enjoy going to!! Thank you for opening up your lovely home to our family!! The memories were beautiful and we will return!!

Make your own Wave was a lovely property/house. We were 4 adults, 3 teenage boys and 2 dogs. Everything was perfect when we arrived. House was clean, pool and hot tub were ready to use and contact-less check-in was a breeze. The kitchen was well stocked with all the dishes/glasses/pots/pans/ utensils/ appliances you could possibly need. (You do need to bring your own kitchen towels and dishcloths.)
We spent a lot of time on the decks around the exterior of the house. Loved the hammock!
There were plenty of beach chairs in the storage closet and other assorted beach items.
Our two dogs enjoyed the front yard for playing ball and chasing each other around.
One teeny, tiny thing...the nearest walkway to the beach was closed for reconstruction, so we had to walk a few extra steps to get to the beach.
The gift certificate for Lighthouse Bagels was a nice touch. They were delicious, but know that there is a line of people, even if you arrive just when it opens!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Make your own Wave and would highly recommend!

Vacation
House was dirty. Dog hair everywhere, trash filled when we got there as well as recycling. found broken glass on floor in living room. bubblegum stuck to headboard. Lots of clothing tag trash through out house. No shades in living room. Kitchen pans were old and hard to cook with. no toaster just toaster oven. Some of our party arrived at 3 oโclock, an hour early. Pulled into the driveway and the cleaning crew pulled in behind them. they cleaned whole house in one hour. Bedroom tvs had child hand smears all over them. Beds have very hard mattresses. definitely will not be coming back to this house.

Wonderful vacation
We had a wonderful time on our vacation in the Outer Banks and at Go your own wave! Megan is a wonderful host, when issues arose she was extremely responsive even over a holiday weekend! I would definitely recommend this home!

Perfect Family OBX Getaway
We couldn't have had a better stay! Property owners were great and went above and beyond. Communication was excellent. We had 8 in our group and had plenty of extra space, especially with a 22 month old. Clean and well stocked. Loved the different deck levels as there was always an area for shade, rocking or in the hammock.
Pool was great although we didn't use it much with the beach so close. The hot tub was enjoyed. The lid needed to be replaced, but the owners were quick to notify us that a new one had been ordered and they even sent someone out to check on it while we were there. It was not an issue but we appreciated the notification. You will not find any better communication or quick responses to any of your needs at any OBX rental.
If you have a family outing this is the place you want. Very Clean! The kitchen was not lacking for anything. Baby and toddler equipment was appreciated with high chairs, cribs, pack and play, gates and all needed baby safety protocols. Plenty of chairs and beach toys for all and the walk to the beach was short along an easily accessible boardwalk.
The Sunday - Sunday dates worked out well and avoided the huge rush on Saturdays. The beach was not very crowded at all!! Plenty of room. We traveled back on the Sunday of Memorial Day Weekend and it worked out well as most people were traveling that Saturday.
Book this place!!! You will not regret it and you will make memories to last a lifetime.

Updated house in a great location!
Megan's house, Go Your Own Wave, was just wonderful for our April Vacation week! She was kind enough to open the pool and hot tub early for us, which I was able to surprise my kids with and they loved having access to both all week :) The pictures online are before many, many recent updates, so the house far exceeds the impression the pictures give. All new floors and carpets, all new furniture in the Great Room, etc..... Just beautiful! We were lucky enough to be the first guests of the season, and everything was clean, comfortable, and cozy. We actually ended up scrapping a lot of our plans for the week and just enjoyed relaxing at the house and walking to the beach. The kitchen has plenty of supplies for cooking if needed, and the house guide Megan has put together is incredibly helpful and comprehensive - one of the best I've seen in all the VRBO houses I have stayed in over the years. Megan is also really great about answering questions and getting back to guests quickly if there is an issue. The updates look fantastic, but the house also still maintains its original beach house charm. Whalehead Beach is also a lovely neighborhood to stay in in Corolla, close to lots of conveniences and plenty of beach access spots to walk to drive to to get to the long. wide gorgeous beach. We were incredibly happy with our stay, and hope to go back sometime in the future! Thanks for everything, Megan!

Perfect family Thanksgiving vacation at Go Your Own Wave!
We booked Go Your Own Wave for Thanksgiving and had a great time. The house was clean on arrival and has enough space for everyone to spread out so you donโt feel on top of each otherโa definite necessity when traveling with extended family! The kitchen had everything needed to prepare a holiday meal for a crowd. The hot tub was a nice treat and my son loved that it had color changing lights. The owners provided a lot of items for babies and toddlers which came in handy for our group. They were also very responsive to any questions we had. Weโre coming back to Corolla this summer and decided to rebook Go Your Own Wave. Canโt wait to come back

Relaxing vacation
The house was beautiful and close to everything we needed. Everything was clean and ready when we arrived. Having the private pool and hot tub was great. We did not have small children with us, but there were clean high chairs that looked almost new, if you have young children in your group. The neighborhood was very quiet and nice, and it is a fairly short walk to the beach. The owner/manager checked in with us when we arrived, and was very quick to answer any questions. We had no problems during our stay, but just from the ease of communication with the owners, I am sure anything would have been handled promptly. Our family really enjoyed our vacation, and will look to stay here again when we return.

Great Family Vacation
We had a great time here. This is a great home for families. The outdoor amenities were a big hit with the kids and adults alike. We spent afternoons in the pool, had dinner on the deck, and relaxed in the hot tub at night. It was also nice that they had high chairs and baby gates for our toddler as well as chairs and toys for the beach since we flew and couldnโt bring any of that with us. Easy commute from Norfolk airport. We just rebooked for next summer.

An Oasis
We went down to unwind and relax and did we find a great place. Go Your Own Wave was really a well-thought out and convenient place. They have everything you could possibly think of, i.e. board games, pool and beach toys, etc. That combined with the convenience factor of being a 5-minute walk to the beach was just great! Our hosts were super-responsive and great to deal with. Definitely a future visit is in order. Thanks again!

Wonderful vacation property!
My family and I just spent the week here and had such a wonderful time. The house had everything we needed and more. We enjoyed having the pool and the hot tub. The beach access was very nearby which made it very convenient for walking back and forth. Having the beach wagon, chairs and umbrella made things so convenient as we would not have had room in our car.
Check in and check out were so easy. Megan was such a pleasure to communicate with during the rental process and even checking in on us while we were there. We enjoyed being treated to bagels as well. Thank you for making our Outerbanks vacation memorable. We would definitely rent this home again!

Perfect Family Retreat with Great Beach Access and Amenities
Our family had a wonderful time at Go Your Own Wave, so much that weโve already booked again for next year! Pride in ownership is apparent, as the new hosts have obviously updated a ton of stuff. The whole home is spacious and decorated with fun beach themes. We were very pleased with how clean it was on arrival. The new mattresses were comfy, and it was a nice treat that sheets and bath towels were provided so it was one less thing to pack. The main living level is very open and a great gathering spot for meals or hanging out. The kitchen was well equipped for serving a crowd. We especially loved lounging on the decks to watch sunrises/sets and dining outside almost every night. The pool/hot tub area is awesome!! New furniture and grill were great and it is surrounded by trees on three sides for nice privacy from your neighbors. The walk to the beach couldnโt have been more convenient. A few steps up the street there is a short boardwalk path that cuts directly to the ocean. The owners were very thoughtful in providing a welcome book that explains how different components of the home work (AC, internet, etc.) and were very helpful and responsive to any questions we had. They even sent us a gift from Lighthouse Bagels, which was a delicious treat and nice surprise! We canโt wait to see what updates they make for next year. Canโt recommend enough.
