About this house rental

Friday Check-In/Out for Summer to avoid weekend traffic! "The Whistling Clam" (search the web for it more reviews & listings) The Whistling Clam is a 7 bedroom, 6.5 bath (5 master bedrooms) beach house directly in front of the beach access for Ocean Sands H, a private community. Located at the end of a private cul-de-sac (no through traffic or busy streets to cross with children like many other OBX locations), it has a large private pool, hot tub, rec room with pool table, and tons of deck space to enjoy the outdoors with a hammock, bench swing, and many adirondack chairs. Note that the pool is not heated, so reservations between October and Mid-March will only have access to the hot tub (and beach obviously). We also received a few complaints about cleaning in 2021 and would just like to make it clear that we have hired a new cleaning company as of January 2022 that came highly recommended and have had no complaints since. The kitchen and master bathroom were just renovated in 2021, as well as putting new floors throughout the living rooms and bedrooms. The mid-level king master bathroom was also renovated in 2022 with all new furniture for the main living room purchased as well! A rec room in the basement contains a pool table, fridge, ice maker for filling up your cooler, and TV. There are adjoining bedrooms in the basement for parents with younger kids to keep close by with custom-built bunk beds in one room and a king bedroom in the other. A large sliding barn door can either open the two rooms together or slide closed for privacy. On the second level, you'll find 4 bedrooms, a King master (bathroom remodeled in 2022), a Queen master, a master bedroom room having 2 sets of bunk beds (bathroom remodeled 2023) and another master having 2 twin beds with trundles under them (bathroom remodeled 2023). This level also has a mini-fridge and living area with a smaller sectional couch. The top level has the main living area, kitchen, dining area, and another King master bedroom. Off of this top level level is a screened-in porch with access upstairs to the crows nest. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do! Feel free to look for more info by searching "The Whistling Clam" and clicking the second link for our number, email, reviews, questions to the owners, and updates! Also, if you would like to have beach chairs, tents, coolers, etc. set up, please message us after booking. We can get you a discount with Corolla Beach Services! Per VRBO Surveillance Policy - we are also disclosing that there are security cameras in the carport of the property for your protection and owners' protection. No cameras are in the house or pool/hot tub area.

We had 9 adults plus an infant in this house and it is nice and spacious. Master Bedrooms are large and roomy, there are 7 bathrooms with nice rain head showers. My only drawback is there are no real ocean views unless you’re outside the house above the 3rd floor in the birds nest. It’s still really nice but in need of some updating. The air is hard to control on all levels. One level is too hot while another is too cold. Overall we enjoyed our time!

Stayed here 8/16-8/24. Check in process was easy! Location of the house is perfect. We rented bikes and took them to the shopping areas as a family every day. House is across the parking lot from the beach. Walk to the beach is tough because of the dune height but it’s like that everywhere. Pool area was clean and perfect for us. Only suggestion would be to install a bit taller fence so it’s a little more private. Other than that this house was absolutely perfect and we would return again.

Our family of 19 from New York had a wonderful time at the Whistling Clam. It was our first time to the Outer Banks. Between the ocean, the pool and the hot tub, we were not lacking for ways to cool off. The kids made an obstacle course in and around the pool and had a blast. There was plenty of space on the top floor together for meals and play games. The two refrigerators and the two dishwashers were wonderful features. The host was very accommodating, it was a relaxing and enjoyable week and a great way to spend time with your. Family.

The overall accommodations were satisfactory. It was obvious the owners were not experienced in general maintenance & management of their property. Upon arrival, at the designated time, VRBO failed to provide access to the house. A phone call to the owners was required to obtain the code/keys to gain entry. The pool was clean but the concrete deck surrounding the pool was filled with weeds and grass, it was not a clean area. The outdoor shower had scalding hot water. The washer & dryer were convenient but washer had only hot water hooked up. No cold water washing!! The double refrigerators in the kitchen were great but ice makers did not function well. The hardwood floors had not been cleaned/mopped before our arrival. The owners/manager was not attentive when plumbing issues needed addressed. General exterior maintenance was fair, yard needed mowed and the driveway drainage needed attention. Great location but I doubt we would rent this property again.

Large comfortable beach home, with plenty of room choices and space to spread out and relax. Convenient to beach, and greenway trail to shopping.

We were very excited due to the house space and location until the first few days of the experience were ruined by the following. No matter what, owners OWN the experience not matter what causes it. Day 1-2: No wifi or cable Day 3: Fire Hazard, Bad wiring to electrical box. We identified a fire occurring as the cable company investigated poor wi-fi. The morning of, one of the parents smelled smoke. If we did not identify and help in resolving the issue, there would have been a major house fire. Fire company came and we lost most of a day with our kids and family having to be outside and had to take everyone out for the evening until electrical was fixed and house was safe to return. We also had to play onsite property manager brokering conversations between the fire department, electrical company, and cable company. Without knowing it, we were at risk on Days 1 & 2 (with kids in the house) Most of the week - Hot tub was not safe to enter - for part of the time there was a felt electrical current. Then it did not work and someone had to come to fix. Day 4: AC unit began to leak and drip water down on lower level floor --- we had to stay to ensure the AC guy was able to put a temporary fix. This was the day after the fire dept had to come. Cable was finally fixed on Day 4. I expected some sort of comp for the experience the first few days but property manager and owners would not negotiate. They gave a CHARCUTERIE BOARD instead. Don't risk it, many other options

Everything was really great with one exception. Had no sheets on top floor master bed, and none in the home. Was told by the property manager to contact cleaning service which we did. Cleaning service said property manager had been told no sheets in the house for that bedroom and expected some to be dropped off. I guess the drop off didn't happen. Property manager gave us a $100 credit to get sheets at Harris Teeter, a 1/4 mile away, but Harris Teeter doesn't sell sheets, so we didn't have them for that bed.
