Absolutely Perfect

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect place to stay for our family’s first trip to OBX. From a very spacious house with all the amenities, to the access to the Corolla Light Resort, to the short walk/drive to the beach, it was the complete vacation package. We will definitely book here again!

Great spot!

Perfect place for our group to use pool, hot tub, balcony space, plenty of bathrooms and beds to accommodate all. Location was ideal for pickleball and sports center. Would've loved to be a little closer to the beach, but easy public parking. Couldn't even get around to all the amenities and restaurants!
