We absolutely loved everything about this house! The layout, all the accessories the house comes with including beach chairs, a hot tub, in a nice quite neighborhood but most of all proximity to the beach. We also enjoyed biking to the local shops. Sara was an exceptional host. We would recommend this house to everyone and plan to spend another week at Take 5!

Fun Off-season

My family came in from Colorado for a beach vacation and we enjoyed our time in this home. There was wind and rain but smiles all around. Location was perfect, very short walk to the beach. If we head back to The Outer banks we will love to stay at this location again. Thank you Sara!

Great house, location and owner

We had a wonderful week! Sara was really responsive to a couple issues due to previous guests. The house had everything we needed and more, but best part was literally right over dune and at the beach!! We will be back😍

Wonderful beach house with lots of extras

Our family had a great vacation staying at this property. The house was clean and inviting - the upstairs with the open floor plan was a great place to hang out. We appreciated the excellent location - near the beach, the grocery store, restaurants, and more. We used the bikes, the hot tub, the beach chairs, the games. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook for a large group - love the fiesta ware! Sara was great with communication and gave clear instructions. We would love to stay here again some time!

An amazing experience

working with Sara was nothing short of splendid. we had great communication and her accommodating nature made our interactions smooth and effortless. The prime location of her property, a stone's throw away from the beach and conveniently close to essential amenities like supermarkets and restaurants, enriched our stay and added an element of convenience to it. We will definitely contemplate staying there again!

We had an amazing week at this beach house. Communication with Sara before and during our stay was perfect, she even was able to communicate with the cleaning crew and get us into the house early before the 4pm check-in time. The house was 25 yards from the beach access, in a small community with no public beach access so there was plenty of space on the beach. 5 bedrooms helped our two families spread out. Large jacuzzi helped us unwind after long day at beach. Warm water outdoor shower was clutch. House was well stocked with board games, books and puzzles. Short walking distance to Harris Teeter shopping center in Corolla. We'd definitely spend another week at this house again in the future.

Great house for kids and multiple families to use. We loved our stay and especially loved our host and her quick responses to any and every question we had. Lots of beach equipment and boogie boards was a plus for the adults and kids. We also loved having so many bathrooms and the outdoor shower was the best to wash away sand after a day at the beach.

Spacious property and excellent location!

The house exceeded our expectations in many ways!!! Super clean, the proximity to the beach, extremely spacious, lots of extras (beach chairs, laundry, bath towels, garbage bags…ect) . The beds were all very comfortable, and the air conditioning kept all of the floors cool. We had 10 adults, and we all fit perfectly! We like to place games and all eat together, the huge dining room table was perfect!!!!!The hot tub and hammock were fantastic, and the decks were awesome! For you cooks… the kitchen had more gadgets, glasses, large bowls, blenders, pots and pans ( large and small) than mine at home;) with lots and lots of counter top space. We would highly recommend this property!!!!

Wonderful beach house steps from the ocean!

We rented this house for the wedding party of my daughter who got married on the beach. The house was excellent. Everything was very clean, abundant bedrooms, and space to be together or have private time. Decks were great place to relax and hot tub was added benefit.

Great house for a family beach vacation

This was our second year at Take 5. Our entire family could find room to sit and relax in the 3rd floor living space, and the owners have replaced some of the furniture with more comfortable options. The kitchen has everything you could need, and there is a picnic table on the deck. Access to the beach is easy as can be, which is important when you have small children in the family. We are well pleased with Take 5!

Spacious house w/ beach access that can’t be beat!

Sara was a wonderful host! So helpful and quickly responded to any questions or concerns. We unfortunately arrived to a cold front in May, but the house had plenty of space, games, and a hot tub to make the most of it. Also the tennis court one block away was a plus for outdoor activities when the beach wasn’t nice! But the Sun came out for the last couple days and the beach and water were perfection. Beach access is steps from the driveway. Dunes blocked some of the ocean views, but they also provided much needed protection from the wind and sea levels during the stormy days! Hands down a wonderful vacation spot.

Friends Reunion Getaway

The rental process was simple, clear, no stress. The descriptions and photos of this property were exactly what we found upon arrival! The 5 of us had a ball, could spread out throughout this huge house when desired, enjoyed the short trek to the beach several times a day, ate and shopped in town, but often just lazed around the house enjoying the view and sounds of the beach. It was a heavenly break from our busy lives and we couldn't thank Sara, our host, enough for her attentive care!

Perfect location, wonderful house!

The house is exactly what we expected. Very clean and well maintained. Plenty of space to sprawl out, view of the ocean and listening to the waves while having our morning coffee was great. Location is perfect, the beach is just a few steps via the boardwalk path. Beds were very comfortable, kitchen has plenty of supplies for whatever you need for cooking. Hot tub was a must! Weather was good during the day but chilly at night, was nice to hang out and relax. Owner was GREAT to work with! Communication was top notch, provided great recommendations and answered all emails in a very timely manner. I would recommend this property to my friends and family.

Loved our stay!

Take 5 was the best stocked house we have ever stayed in! The kitchen (with well labeled cabinets and shelves) had everything we needed and then some. Not to mention the extra cleaning supplies, a nice touch in the times of COVID with multiple people staying at the house. It was clean, well decorated, spacious and comfortable. The location to the beach was ideal, we loved being so close without feeling on top of anyone. The hot tub was also one of the cleanest we've seen! It was a big hit with our group. Our host was super helpful, very fast with communicating check in information, weather alerts and answering our questions. Thank you so much for housing our vacation!
