HK39: Sound Spirit

Staying at Sound Spirit felt like home away from our home. It felt cozy and comfortable as soon as you enter the door. During family vacations, we look for security and proximity, and this house has both. It being in a gated community contributed to our peace of mind as we stroll around the quiet neighborhood. It is also close to a big supermarket for grocery runs, to a public beach access, to the community pool which is a few steps away, and even to some tourist spots. The whole week flew by, but we will surely come back to this happy place. Highly recommended even by our toddler girls!

It’s a different feeling…We’re always happy to return to Sound Spirit. The bright and airy, pet-friendly vacation house is on a hill in a secure Hammocks neighborhood, located in the middle of the island (soundside). The rooms are big, cozy and clean. It’s nice to sit on any of the three decks with a cold bottle of beer. The Tower Room has distant views of the ocean; can even watch morning sunrise and sundown colors. At night it’s sooo quiet, like in a remote island, that we always enjoy a good night’s sleep--of course with all the MBR doors and windows tightly shut. Kitchen is well-stocked with cooking implements. The house is nearby a trolley stop (check for winter schedule) that can take you to community activities—swimming pool, golf, tennis, shopping, beach, etc. Sound Spirit never let us down, except when it’s time to leave that we’d always feel sad, “Do we have to go?”

This was our 4th time at Sound Spirit. This house fits our family perfectly. Easy walk to the shuttle & community pool. Kitchen is fully stocked with everything you should need. We love the new hardwood floors & the new living room sofa. Cant wait until 2020 --- see you next year Sound Spirit!Suggestions: I think hardwoods throughout the house would be a fantastic addition, as well, as blinds on the sliding glass doors & the windows in the kitchen area. At times, we were uncomfortable eating at the table, as the neighbors could see in.

We really loved this house. It was a perfect seize for our family of 5 and our dog. The shuffleboard table on the first floor was a huge hit with our kids. We wanted our dog to like the yard more but there was no shade during the day and no grass - only mulch and stones. The home was clean and nicely decorated. Overall a very comfortable stay and would recommend this home to friends.

We enjoyed our stay at Sound Spirit. The house was the perfect size for our family of 3 and we enjoyed being able to vacation with our dog. A few small things that we would have changed: We thought the floors could have been cleaner. We had to get the vacuum out as soon as we got there to sweep up the crumbs and dirt. The house doesnt have any kind of view. There werent any trees so the only view was the road or other houses. There is quite a bit of road noise from NC 12 although at night it wasnt much of a problem. Overall, a cute and comfortable vacation home!

The home itself is beautiful inside and out. It has 3 large bedrooms and is very well decorated. My only complaint was that it was super loud in the master bedroom at night. It sounded like a large city was right outside the window at night. We had all of the windows closed. The neighbors were very nice and the pool was very close and also very pleasant.

Sound Spirit was a perfect home for our week in Corolla! We enjoyed the extremely close proximity of the home to the community pool and trolley stop. The rooms are all spacious and the multiple floors and decks make the house seem much larger. The only feedback I would offer for future guests, is that the multiple stairs can be a bit much for older guests. Also, the main living space provides limited soft seating options for when the entire family wants to gather. We really enjoyed our stay and look forward to future visits!

A very nice house. Kitchen is well stocked with all the gadgets and pots/ pans. The fenced in back yard was very nice for the dogs. The neighbors are great. The only thing I'd change is to have reality company make sure the ac is set on a comfortable temperature. It was 77 down stairs it took 2 days before it was comfortable and that's because it was cool outside and we opened the windows.

We had a great vacation week in Corolla. Our first time in OBX. Property was great for our family and for our dogs. Close to pool and quiet neighborhood. Friendly neighbors and offered most amenities of home. Would recommend a garden hose connected in the yard for easier cleaning of the dogs and beach gear. An assortment of basic spices for cooking would be a plus. Overall a very pleasant OBX experience.

Great, what can you say. OBX weather was great for the end of.October. The office was.extremely helpful. We.will definitely recommend the realty office to our friends.and.family.
Looking forward to next season.

Great vacation, house was perfect for a small family of 4. Great location to the pool. Backyard could be fixed up some to make it more useful but it was perfect for the dog.

Home is lovely and in a great location. But the backyard is a disaster! The weeds are 10" tall and I had to cut the grass while I was here so my Lab could use the yard. I don't cut the grass at my own home let alone while on vacation!

Second year staying at the Sound Spirit, plan to be back for many years to come.
