Always arrive before dark because the beach is more difficult to navigate at night. We recommend lowering your tire pressure to 15-20 psi so bring a tire pressure gauge along. Tires can be re-inflated at any of the area gas stations or the county put in FREE air stations at the Historic Corolla Park, 1100 Club Road, Corolla. The Park is on the sound side of the road. Turn in at the park road, make a right at the stop sign and another quick right into the gravel parking lot. The air up stations will be at the end of the lot. Check area tide charts prior to arrival. Low tide is ideal for beach driving. Follow all posted speed limits (35 mph or 15 mph when within 300 feet of pedestrians or wild horses). Drive on the hard-packed sand near the edge of the water or close to the dunes. Leave the middle of the beach available for parked vehicles. Drivers must be 16 years of age and possess a valid driver’s license. ATVs are not permitted. Also, Currituck County does not allow personal motorized watercraft on the ocean. Jet skis and personal motorboats are allowed on the Currituck Sound. The closest boat ramp is located at the Whalehead Club in Corolla. Due to shallow water and grass, this ramp is suitable for small craft only. For more information regarding Currituck County's rules and regulations, please contact the Currituck County Chamber of Commerce.

A perfect friend’s gathering for a week of celebration! The house was exactly as described online. The kitchen was stocked well with appliances and cooking tools! Bedrooms were all a great size and beds were comfy! We had no issues with the water. Loved the deck and enjoyed sitting on the deck on top of the dune! Perfect walk to the beach with gorgeous views of the beach!!! We will stay again!

The house itself was very spacious and accommodating! The location was great, as it was right on the beach, just a very short walk over the dunes. It was so nice have our own pool right on the property. The downfall of the house is that it wasn’t very well cleaned. We arrived to a dishwasher full of the past guests dishes, along with the washer and dryer full of the past guests towels. The house was pretty dirty overall- bugs squished on the walls, couches caked with filth under the cushions, fridge dirty, etc. At the end of our stay we were instructed to remove the sheets from our beds and place by the washer but not the blanket or pillow shams, which to me implies they do not get washed regularly between guests. Just not what you expect when paying this kind of price. There was also very low water pressure, as only one person could shower at a time (although there was 6 showers). And at times there wasn’t enough water pressure to use any of the sinks or wash laundry. This could just be from being in the location it is though. Overall would rent there again if the cleaning was stepped up a notch! Owners were very pleasant and easy to communicate with.

We recently stayed at this beach rental and were excited about its prime location, which is undoubtedly its best feature. However, our experience was marred by several significant issues. First and foremost, the water system had severe rust issues, which we discovered when our laundry came out stained with an orange hue. This problem extended beyond just the washing machine; even our swimwear was affected after being worn in the pool. The owner did send maintenance to address the issue promptly and provided a partial refund for the ruined items, which we appreciated. However, the compensation was minimal, and the owner’s dismissive attitude and lack of empathy left a sour taste. The owner suggested that sunscreen interacting with the water was the cause, which implies future renters should avoid using sunscreen to prevent damage—an impractical expectation at a beach property. Additionally, we encountered several other issues: The cleanliness of the floors was questionable, leaving our bare feet dirty. About half of the outlets did not work. A light fixture was hanging from the ceiling in one bathroom. While we managed to overlook these problems and enjoy the beach, the overall experience with the property and more so the host was disappointing. I would advise future renters to be cautious, especially with laundry and swimwear. In other reviews, cleanliness seems to be a problem so perhaps a new cleaning company should be utilized.

This was our second visit to this property. It was perfect for our family and the home is more than adequately stocked with kitchen needs and linens. Highly recommend!

We came on an extended family vacation (infant, parents, cousins, grandparents). The house had everything we needed, aside from some kitchen basics (salt, pepper, oil) but we were able to easily purchase those at the food lion. We had plenty of space for everyone. The beds were comfortable and the view was amazing. It was a short drive up the beach and the beach parking was always available close to the house. The parking passes made it very convenient to bring our gear back and forth to the beach. On the choppier/windier days, lounging by the pool was perfect. As we only had 1 4x4 vehicle, it made for a few trips up and down the beach. I would highly recommend a thorough shopping trip on the way in! We will definitely be staying again!
