Beautiful place - perfect for my families’ needs. Everything you’d want in a Corolla beach home. The property management company was super responsive and accommodating. I’d highly recommend for any future guest. This home is very special to my family and we would definitely return. Thanks so much!

I enjoyed working with Village Realty. They communicated well with the information I needed to know about renting a house. We had a minor issue - smoke alarm beeping. They took care of it quickly. The house had all of the necessary amenities and was very comfortable. Close to the beach.

Our stay at a Ruff Life is a Happy Place for our family. Have enjoyed our stay every year for the last five years. Looking forward to next year. Just wondering if pool heater gets turned on at a certain date? Thank the owners for their thoughtful gift.

The house had a fully stocked kitchen. The location to the beach was good. The elevator came in handy.

The 1st floor bedroom was very warm. A garbage disposal would be extremely beneficial. The house was very clean. However the grill had not been cleaned from the prior occupant. House was decorated nicely and kitchen well stocked.

Absolutely beautiful property. Short walk to beach. ONLY improvement needed would be some umbrellas for the back patio. We had to manufacture our own shade.
