Our stay at Banks Retreat in Corolla was amazing! The weather was perfect & so was the house. Close walk to the beach! The house is perfect! From the pool with the basketball hoop, to the rekaxing hot tub, to the awesome yard with the sand volleyball court; there is nothing this house doesn't have! Inside you have the convenience of an elevator to take your heavy stuff to the other floors. The bedrooms are very roomy & the beds are great! We hope to book this house again next year as this was our best house in almost 20 years of coming to OBX!!!! LOVED IT! THANK YOU!!!!

Although the weather was not the best, we enjoyed our stay at Bank's Retreat. This was the 4th year renting this house which we love.

I planned our annual family obx trip for 10 adults and 6 kids (and 2 dogs) and this house was everything we needed and more. The elevator made each floor easily accessible, the beach was a 5 minute walk down the street, plenty of patio space when you just want to escape the family fun for a bit.
The kitchen has everything you could need and it’s all great quality. Loved the house and will definitely book again.

We loved this house, especially the outdoor area where the pool and sand volleyball court were. It was very private and the grands had so much fun! The owners have done a wonderful job updating the property, especially the deck and stairs. What small issues we had, Village Realty took care of very quickly which was great!!

Elevator, pool, hot tub, short walk to beach, nice kitchen, comfortable furnishings. Fixes needed: right dishwasher didn’t work much of the time, was unreliable and thus couldn’t be used. Some ceiling lights were out. The four gates (doors) on pool fence don’t lock. We used twine. The refrigerator is outdated and broken inside and needs to be replaced.
