Harper's Point

Our family of great grandmother, grandparents-2, parents-2, uncle-1 and children-2 loved the spaces provided by this home. Great Grandmother of 90 years old enjoyed the beach and ocean views from the third floor as she is not comfortable walking in the sand. The two separate seating areas are very comfortable, the dining table is plenty large and also offers great views. If you are a "view person," this one cannot be beat. Proximity to the beach is perfect, pool, outdoor showers and especially a pool side bathroom with a newly potty trained toddler were perfect. Bedroom configuration is excellent, bathrooms were good, though showers were small. Shower and kitchen water pressure were not good on third floor if a second floor shower was being used. We were disappointed in the condition of the exterior spaces with the cost of the rental for this property. Window sills were full of bugs, windows were dirty, some screens were missing or broken, third floor deck furniture was merely plastic deck chairs, master bedroom deck chairs so dirty they could not be used. In order to wash feet after the beach, we had to walk across the pool deck, therefore, the pool area always had sand around it. The hot/cold outside showers and hot tub were great, but the area where feet are washed was already full of sand, and when the hose was on, the sand merely washed onto the sidewalk. To enter the house, guests walk across the sandy carport, and into the house. We created a foot bath out of a styrofoam cooler top, but a permanent foot bath next to the house would help keep sand outside. The website photos show a beautiful front yard, so we planned on playing yard games with the children. The yard has not been maintained and was mostly weeds and sticky vines, unusable for children and throwing balls. Interior: The elevator is great for unpacking and packing. Of note: the elevator exits inside the house on the third and second floors, but the first floor exits outside. That arrangement is perfect for unloading cars. The kitchen is well appointed, however, one of the two dishwashers did not get hot, nor clean dishes. We chose not to use it (and reported the problem.) There is a toaster oven, but the racks and pans are missing. (also reported). Excellent drip coffee maker, looks new. It is really nice to have a lower level refrigerator for the extra food and drinks. Although we loved the gathering spaces, we were disappointed in the condition of the maintenance. With some TLC, this home would be perfect for repeat renters.

Had an amazing family vacation in Corolla. House served all our needs and it was in a great location. Our family said as a whole, we would definitely rent this house again. However, I do have some similar complaints as everybody else. The refrigerator was leaking and we had to call to get it fixed. The outside furniture was in need of desperate repair. We called about that as well and all the upstairs chairs were replaced the same day, which was nice. They need to call an exterminator to rid the upstairs of all the ants. There were a lot of spiders outside, maybe an exterminator could take of that. All the decking needed to replaced, I would say half our family got splinters over the course of the week and there were loose nails and screws laying around. The heat pump doesn't keep the house as cool as our family would have liked. Finally, the entertainment system was very difficult to figure out. The tvs worked in all the bedrooms, but we could never get the living room tv to work properly. It wasn't a huge deal because we were on vacation and were outside most of the time but some nights it would have been nice to sit around together and put a movie on. We talked about the house at the end of the trip and it just needs a little love. Village Realty was attentive, the app was great, we paid for early access and that was great but a little investment from the owner and this house would be a five star house.

Location is fabulous. We had a wonderful time in this house with the many amenities and location to beach. Just wish the house was a little more loved. There is some upkeep/updating that would make this jewel shine, decking is worn with nails and splinters poking through, many lightbulbs out, ripped window screens. House could use a good wash. The rental company was very attentive in replacing broken chairs- much appreciated. Overall, nothing to prevent us from re-booking but for the rental cost one would expect it to be in pristine condition.

What a wonderful vacation for our family of twelve! Bedrooms and bathrooms were great, except for running toilets and low water pressure but certainly adequate. Family living space was incredible, views spectacular. Kitchen was furnished with everything that we needed only compliant is that the refrigerator leaked and we needed to call for repairs. My only complaint would be the outside care and maintenance, furniture was old and in need of being replaced. Bugs everywhere! Siding could use a good power wash. All in all our stay was great and would be happy to return.

We spent a lovely week at Harper's Point. I think the rooms and the bathrooms were really great and the view is excellent. The pool is fantastic and being on the beach was incredible. I would definitely come back to the house. The one thing I really hope that Village Realty will do is to overhaul the outside areas. There was broken furniture and old seating. I think that a few bits and pieces to make the out side areas cleaner and nicer would go a long way. Other than that, I loved the house!

We really enjoyed our week at this place! We were very happy with the bathrooms adjoining most rooms, the view from the family room and all of the sea life that was right in front of the house! It suited us well! There were some things that are a bit rundown including runny toilets, a complicated entertainment system, broken refrigerator drawers etc... also, we thought the place could use a good grass cutting and some landscaping. Finally, the outdoor furniture needs to be replaced and some exterior maintenance (spider webs galore). But none of that would stop us from coming back again!
