My husband and I stayed at Catch Me N Corolla in September of 2011 with some friends. The house was perfect. Since we are a group of working professionals with no children, the large number of Master Bedrooms and bathrooms were especially convenient. Also, the beds were very comfortable, we slept so well! (And we are a picky bunch!) We had perfect weather to enjoy the VERY LARGE pool, which is the perfect depth for playing some pool volleyball and general lounging! There are plenty of chairs by the pool as well! The owners of the home were especially friendly and attentive, very easy to get in touch with. Wifi made checking emails a cinch, and there is even a desktop computer to use in case you left your laptop behind. Easy walk to beach, shops are close by, we had the perfect week and will definitely be returning to this home, hopefully next year. The house is well furnished and every detail is covered. This house was a phenomenal value! We all loved it! Thanks so much Jay and Bridgett!

Once Again, The Place to Stay

This is the second year in a row for Catch Me N' Corolla and once again a good time had by all. We're already booked for 2012. If you are traveling with multiple families with children, this home and neighborhood is for you. Both years we have had four families, each with two children. It's a perfect fit. A short walk to the beach is nice, but a short drive to the beach with private parking, a pool, and best of all; a bathroom is perfect. Grocery shopping, carry-out, the lighthouse, everything is close by. The early check-in option is a great way to beat the OBX traffic. If you are looking for a great place to relax for the week, look no further.

Christmas at the Beach

We moved to NC about 2 yrs ago and decided to spend Christmas at the Beach this year. The home was exactly as advertised and the owners are wonderful to work with. Were able to see the Corolla lighthouse with its Christmas lights and was beautiful in the snow! We found the wild horses on the beach and right as we drove off the beach there were 3 more! The only drawback to spending Christmas at the Beach is the lighthouse was not open to the public. Plenty of attractions are still open this time of year tho and within a short drive. Definitely planning on a return visit.

You will not be disappointed with this home. This is our second year renting from the owners of this house; we've already reserved a week for 2011. This home is everything that you could ask for and more. The bedrooms are quite large, the kitchen is perfect w/ two dishwashers and the pool is great. Four families, each with two children fit perfectly in this home. The beach is a very short walk and has a community oceanfront pool that has a snack bar and restrooms. What more could you ask for? The Soundside community pool and play area was wonderful for the kids. The lake that is next to the pool had scores of turtles that the children were able to feed from the observation deck. Views of the Corolla Lighthouse were just icing on the cake. If you are looking for a great house in a great location, look no further....Catch Me N' Corolla is the place for and your family.

This house is what they say: well equipped, great location, near the beach, shopping, and attractions. A great spot for a large group, in our case a big family gathering. Owners were helpful with tips and suggestions and a pleasure to deal with. The lighthouse was great as a very close attraction, the beach beautiful, so we ended up there the most. Fat Crabs was great for steamer pots, Children and adults all had a great time. definitely a great experience!

Thank you for a fabulous week. The house is gorgeous! Relaxing in the hot tub with a full moon rising over the ocean to the left and Currituck Light flashing in front was an unforgettable treat. My brother and family enjoyed things as well. The living areas are cozy and comfortable, perfect for relaxing, and the tables are great for family games. We cooked some great meals and the grill was perfect to use. Two dishwashers are very convenient. We played a lot of pool and basketball. Exploring Corolla was a lot of fun, thanks for all the helpful advice in the advance packet. Thanks again for all your flexibility - it made for a great week!

All I can say is WOW!!! In all the years coming to the Banks for winter fishing or summer vacation, this is by far the best house I have ever rented. The six king/queen bedrooms were great. Four of the bedrooms opened onto the balcony. The furnishings were tasteful and bright. The rooms were spacious and the kitchen was beyond expectations - great cookware you have. The dual dishwashers and the countertop icemaker was just the ticket. I cannot tell you how nice it is to use a coded door pad instead of trying to pass around copies of keys to 3 or 4 people. The hot tub was great - except for the part where we had to go from the hot tub to the house in 35 degree weather. Aside from that, this house is above and beyond expectations. Bridgett, thank you for working with us to make this happen. You will be my forst call for the summer trip next year.

Thank you so much for the opportunity to enjoy our week at the beach at your house. Since this was a return trip it immediatley felt like it was our home away from home versus another beach house rental. Your delux accommodations added to our extended family's joy and pleasure at our annual beach gathering. We appreciate you sharing your home with us and look forward to another week of fun and good times next year. The O'Malley and Eckert Family

Fall of 2008 I started planning a family reunion in Corolla for 30 of us, some coming from as far away as Alaska and Vietnam, for the following summer. We found this property on VRBO and rented it and a neighbor's so we could all be close. You can imagine the level of anticipation building since the fall, and being the planner of the vacation I was very anxious that it would all turn out perfect. I cannot put into words how awesome our vacation was. The home was absolutely wonderful, bright, cheery, and had everything you would need for a vacation. The top floor is very family friendly with a large kitchen and lots of living area. We started each morning with an hour walk on the beach which we loved. Most of our days were spent on the beach (which was very easy to get to) and in the pool and hot tub. Two of us had four-wheel drive vehicles that we took on the beach. We set up awnings, made return trips to bring more guests, and enjoyed the gorgeous beach, warm water and abundant waves. We were so excited when we saw the dolphins jumping in front of us and then all of a sudden we noticed 4 of those magical wild horses. One day we did go on a scavenger hunt set up by two relatives. I am thankful they did that because it forced us to leave our beautiful accomodations and visit all the quaint offerings of Corolla. Make sure you follow any suggestions the owners give you for food and entertainment. We truly enjoyed the bagels and pizza. The only problem with the vacation is that it ended after one week! We all would have loved to stay another week.
