OSJ05: Flip Flop

Overall this is a nice vacation home that has lots to offer. Master on top floor is nice and away from all other bedrooms. Kitchen is well stocked with utensils and dishes. Nice game table area with books, puzzles and games. Durable and comfortable furniture. Rental company extremely responsive when we had to call.Owners could make outdoor areas more inviting. Pool lounge chairs were grimy and badly need replacement. Top deck table is worn and one chair cushion had been ripped open. Hammock was dry rotted. It was not fun to be outside and would have been a total loss if not for the nice but small pool that was kept very clean by a great pool service. Hot tub needs repairs as most jets were not working although we still enjoyed it. We did experience some buzzing shock like feeling when standing and putting our hand in the water. Rental company immediately sent service over and we were told that the electricity was coming from the ground around the pool and that the owners were advised to put down rubber flooring. It was safe to use, but I hope this does get fixed. We also found some gross palmetto bugs on the second floor and a very interesting spider was in residence by the front door, but otherwise the housekeeping group had the bathrooms and living areas smelling and looking cleanThe distance to the beach is walkable but we often drove uo to the accessible beach entrance. If you have dogs, there is not really any grassy area at the house. This was hard for our two because they have a large yard at home and not accustomed to walking for elimination. The two flights of steps and dog walking was exhausting and we would rethink this when reserving next summers house. Corolla is quiet and very classy with beautiful million dollar homes. There is a Food Lion a few miles up the road, or a Harris Teeter a few miles south. There is not a lot of commercial establishments making it a nice getaway.Check in and out was a breeze. Nice welcome pack. All in all we had a great vacation.

Overall, the house was nice and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was well-worth the money. We were not happy to see ants in the kitchen and a rather large ugly black bug in the master bedroom. It is a bit of a walk to the beach, but easy to bike-ride to. The house could use pot holders and new deck furniture. We loved the pool and it was great being able to bring our pup!

Beautiful home with everything you need to relax and enjoy your vacation.

Our house was not as clean as it could have been. The mini frig wasn't cold and we thought it wasn't working at first. The bed mattresses were very hard and not comfortable. Other than that we truly loved our vacation. The house was large enough for the 4 families that stayed. The pool could have been bigger but it was very enjoyable. The outside pool area furniture was in much need of attention (rusted table that was about to fall apart and several chairs that were broken). Loved the hot tub. Thanks for letting us stay with you.

We had a great vacation! The house was perfect! Everyone had their own space and the living and dining rooms were large enough for the 9 (My husband, 3 kids and boy/girl friends and my mother) of us the be together! Nice quiet neighborhood! The walk to the beach was short! Easy bike ride to 2 shopping centers with restaurants, groceries stores, and souvenirs! 15-20 minutes car rides to Duck and Corolla for visits to lighthouse, historic sites, more shopping, mini golf, adult beverages( important for the 22, 24, and 25 year old kids!) and water sports. Everyone wants to go back next year,

We had a great vacation. House had enough big beds for our family. Pool was small but nice. Beach about 15 min walk. House could use a few things like a pizza pan, kitchen towels and pot holders but other than that was great. Hot tub was great also. If you have kids there are not many tv channels for them but there is Netflix in the bedrooms.
