Three parking spots available in the driveway--which is probably where your cars will stay during the duration of your holiday because this house is perfectly situated for ease of walking and biking.

Camper vans and tow behind trailers are not permitted in the driveway per POA rules.

Owners have been OBXers for over 30 years and are more than happy to help you plan your stay! Please reach out with any questions or for more information. Also please know we do not employ a reality company to rent our house, no middle company, this allows you direct communication with us the owner to help ensure value and that you have a most enjoyable vacation.

We had a lovely time in the OBX! Fun for the whole family, from relaxing in the beach to riding the wave runner! Highly recommend!

We can’t thank Jerry for the beautiful weather, but we can for everything else! Immaculate, great location, well appointed. Our party was 7 adults vacationing with extended family.

Cleanliness was key for me and I was pleasantly surprised at the accuracy of the reviews. Very clean. Jerry was accessible for questions and the house was at a great location.
5.0 / 5.0
Loved this place. The house was very clean. Very spacious. The added toys for kids was nice. Very large kitchen table. The outside shower was perfect for kids. So many things for the beach which was nice to borrow. Very short walk to the beach, ONLY downside is the very tall, long staircase to the beach, so taking a cart or wagon is nearly impossible. But other than that, it was amazing. Would stay here again for sure.

I chose A Jolly Boat based on people’s comments about its cleanliness and I was not disappointed. The location was perfect for us (parents with adult kids and their significant others). We were so close to a supermarket and right next to the pickleball court which we used every day. The walk to the beach took 4 minutes door to sand. Jerry had beach chairs, beach games, nice bicycles, umbrellas, EVERYTHING you could ever need. We loved our stay and plan on returning again and again. Beautiful house

We couldn't have asked for a better location for our family vacation! We made good use of the bikes, beach chairs, grill, sand toys, etc. The kitchen is well stocked with most every utensil or appliance needed for those who choose to 'Eat In'. Jerry was very helpful with answering questions in a timely manner! We would love to return again!

This is a fantastic beach house. The property has plenty of room and is very well maintained. The location is fantastic- a short walk to the beach, a pickleball court right behind the property (which was a highlight for my teens), and walking distance to a great shopping center. The property owner is quick to respond and goes above and beyond to assure you have everything you need. Already planning to rent again next summer!

This was our first trip to the Outer Banks, and this house was perfect for us. Our family loves to be close to the beach, have space to play cards, and also have places to visit if we want to sight see a bit. We had 6 adults and one infant and it worked out perfectly. Jerry was super communicative and answered all of my questions quickly. The house was very clean upon arrival, and we had everything we needed in the kitchen. We absolutely will stay here again!

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!

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.

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!

5.0 / 5.0
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!

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!

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.

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!

Summer vacation
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.

Schools out for summer
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!

Perfect Thanksgiving Getaway
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.

Great place in a great place
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.
