The top level of the home offers spacious seating in the family room, which is comfortably set up for watching the big game on the 50" ROKU Smart TV or lounging by the fireplace during the chilly, winter months.

The ground floor is where all of the fun happens! A full-sized pool table, arcade game programmed with 60 classic arcade games and a mini-fridge offer fun for the whole family, and with the pool deck just being steps away, there is plenty to do, rain or shine.

Great family getaway house. The extra bit of a drive up to Corolla was worth it - not crowded for mid-June! Still lots to do in the area. We enjoyed the community amenities! Beach access was very short drive and easy to get to. Note: kitchen was very well stocked with kitchenware, but spice rack, etc was empty. Bring spices from home if you are going to cook. Would highly recommend this house if water view is not essential!

The house itself is fine, pretty much what I expected for the price, but, the management company needs to step up its game. cobwebs all around ceilings and in low corners of most rooms, the sofa looks like a science experiment, in desperate need of a steam clean, jetted tub in master is labeled all around "jets broken- tub for soaking only", pool lounges filthy, all it takes is a hose?! weeds and dirt all around the hot tub and pool area. Also... be forwarned, we paid for a week of pool heat and our pool was v ery chilly when we got there, we tried to be patient thinking it just took awhile to heat up, on Tuesday,3 1/2 days into our stay, our pool maintanance person came to clean and check the pool, we asked what the heater was set on and she indicated the heater wasn't on beczause you need to pay extra for that, we told her we HAD paid extra 478.00 +-, she said "oops, I'll turn that on for you now, it usually takes 24-48 hours to heat up. We've inquired about a partial refund of that fee and have not heard back. Moral: make sure the company follows through on what you are promised.

The house was great overall! It had everything we needed for the most part! We were disappointed to have our check in delayed 2 hours due to cleaning delays. The cleaners only took 45 mins to clean the entire house and at first it looked like they did a good job but unfortunately it was just surface & the house wasn’t deep cleaned. Otherwise we had a great week!

Fantastic house perfect for spring break - it has everything- heated pool, hot tub, game room. We had a blast - less than half a mile to the 4x4 beach access and right next to the Corolla Adventure Park. I bookmarked this one to stay again next year!

It was my first trip to the OBX and it was during the off-season. We needed a place that accommodated dogs and were looking for a place to kind of get off the grid for a bit. Well this place had everything. It was extremely spacious with multiple levels, a game room, washer/dryer, grill, pool (off season so it was understandably closed), hot tub, and just a beautiful place in general.
We were able to find places to eat nearby that were great, Uncle Ikes and Corolla Cantina to name a few and grocery shopping was also nearby. We wanted to see the wild horses and .... well... they were literally walking around the development 2 of the 4 mornings we spent. While they were rounded up and returned to their safe natural habitat, it was amazing to hear them nearby and see them close.
This place would be ideal for a larger multifamily trip. In fact, the people that stayed there before us seemed to have a good time for Thanksgiving based on the recycling left out in front for pick up when we arrived. All in all, I would recommend this place 10 out of 10 times.

This house fit our family's needs. Everyone had an appropriate bed whether it be for the kids or adults. Plenty of kitchenware to go around. And plenty of space to spread out if needed.

We liked having the pool but it was on the small side. We had plenty of space for our family. We requested to have the Gas Grill fixed for our use or to provide a replacement. Needless to say, we did not have a grill to cook on. Lazy Suzy door in kitchen was broken. Never fixed while we were there. Other than that we enjoyed our week in Outer Banks at this house.

Nice accommodations-lots if stairs with no handicap access, so be ready to climb. Well appointed kitchen.

Our stay was lovely and the location was perfect. It was fall so the beach was not our main attraction. We could watch the kids on the basketball, pickle ball, and basketball courts from the deck and we walked to the Adventure Park in less than 5 minutes. A great outdoor bar is walking or biking distance away as well. The house has plenty of room and the game room was a big hit with the kids!

Nice house for a long weekend stay for a family wedding in town.

Castle in the sand was the perfect house for our adult only vacation. The kitchen was well stocked and furniture was sturdy. The pool was the perfect size for a few couples. 5 minute drive to the 4x4 beach. Check in was a breeze. Bedrooms were all in great shape and great sizes. Washer and dryer was in excellent working condition.

This rental has thought of everything you need. Kitchen is well equipped for meal preparation. Games, DVD's and books are available for renters' use. Even has a football & basketball!
Did have several issues. The area where the outdoor trash / recycling bins are kept smells horrific. Flies are terrible in that area and when you open the door to enter the house they follow you in. The one bedroom has an ant problem. Ants were crawling on the furniture and bed. The couch needs a good cleaning. Many stains on the upholstery. Overall the rental needs a good thorough cleaning. I understand the cleaning service has limited time to attend to it between renters but at some point it needs some attention.

There was twelve of us off and on thru the week. Best weather we have ever had during our stay. The house was great, the porches always had a breeze and loved the landscaping and pools area. We had two older dogs that had a hard time with the stairs but other than that everything was great. Kitchen was fully equipped and we did not have to use any of the stuff we always bring just in case. Also like being across from the fitness center, tennis courts and pickleball courts too.

This was a great family spot for our beach vacation. Plenty of room for everyone, full kitchen, pool and hot tub. We had a few maintenance issues when we first arrived but we called customer service and they came out to fix it right away. Very pleased.
