So lovely!

Our family of 4 (3 adults & 1 teen) loved our stay. The house was everything we wanted & the perfect size (not too big & not too small). It had everything we needed to be comfortable & we enjoyed the fully equipped kitchen. We cooked all our meals. So close to the beach which was not crowded. Highly recommend!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: What a trip! What a house! Everything exceeded our expectations! Carolina Shores Vacation Rentals were a pleasure to deal with. Very responsive. Everything was as described in the listing. We were a little confused on the linen rental since we'd never done one before but eventually figured out how it work. We hope to make OBX at least an every other year vacation destination and will be using them in the future. Thank you again for making our vacation a memorable one!

Great family vacation

Loved the house and location! Views were stunning. House was well-maintained and clean! There was lots of amenities for my family, including high chair, booster seat, pack and play sand toys, umbrellas, chairs, boogie boards, laundry room! The only downside was having to pick up the key and Duck made us sit in traffic for a while longer being able to get in with access code would be nice. But everything else was fantastic!

Perfect for parents or grandparents with children and grandchildren or even if your just a couple like ourselves. Perfect direct access to the beach with a viewing deck over the dunes. Has a great Hot tub as well and the residence is maintained very well.

The space is always clean and has all the essentials and more for a relaxing vacation. You can really tell the owners care for the rental and it has that home away from home feeling. Our family of 6 had enough room to spread out when we weren't at the beach!

The proximity to the ocean makes it extra special. We particularly enjoyed watching the sun rise from the steps, using the hot tub every evening, and reading in the hammock. The house is close to shopping and restaurants as well. We loved every second in the lovely home!! Thank you!!

Great fit for a small group

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: All aspects of our stay were very positive, BUT I have a real problem with the rental office retaining my $500 damage deposit for 30 DAYS following my stay. A damage assessment can be made in a day or two following our departure (especially in this very slow off season). I will not rent from Carolina Shores again because of this.

Louis, We are glad you enjoyed your stay at WH1019 RUGGLES! We are sorry for the inconvenience of the return of your security deposit. However that is our policy to hold EVERY security deposit for 30 days. We really hope that doesn't be your reasoning for not returning to Carolina Shores. We hope to see you again in the 2019 season! Thank You, Carolina Shores.

Comfortable, Roomy and Right on the Beach

Our stay at Ruggles was very enjoyable. The house is exactly as pictured if not better, and both roomy and comfortable. The back deck was a great place to hang out, either to get sun in the morning to early afternoon or shade later in the day. Also, the house could hardly be closer to the beach, probably less than a 30 second walk over the dune, made easy by the wooden stairway (that also serves as a great platform to take sunrise pictures that are totally worth getting up early for). This was our first time on the Outer Banks and we were a bit taken back by the traffic jams, getting on the island and during dinner hour. Fortunately the kitchen is well stocked (although bring your own spices) and the grill is without a doubt the cleanest and easiest grill at any house we have ever rented, making dinners in the best idea.

OBX 2022

Great property! Loved the private beach access, outdoor deck space, and hot tub. Only complaint was in-person check in was required with no early check-in option. We arrived about 4 hours before our check-in window to avoid traffic. A keyless entry option would really improve this process! Definitely renting this property again next year!

Ruggles is THE place to stay for our family

We absolutely LOVED every minute of our stay at the Ruggles Beach House. It was absolutely perfect for our family of five. The only problem was when our time ran out. Can't wait to hopefully go back again next year!

Way better than expected

The property location, cleanliness, and size were perfect for our family. 3 of our 4 sons were able to join us (ages 25, 23 and 17) and we all had an amazing time. The house had everything we needed and we ate most of our meals at the house. There was a TV in the master bedroom and in one of the rooms downstairs, but we never turned them on. My wife and I watched the sunrise every morning, either from the deck off our bedroom or at the top of the new wooden walkway leading to the beach. Although the water was cold, most of us went in every day. The hot tub was refreshing, especially on those cool breezy evenings. We rented a Jeep from noon one day till noon the next (highlight of the trip) and were able to drive up the sandy beaches north of Corolla several times, and every time were able to see horses roaming the beaches. We enjoyed an amazing sunset from Historic Corolla Lighthouse park. The owners have kept guest logs going back to the early 1990s and it was so much fun to read about experiences that past guests had staying at this beautiful home. Thank you so much for sharing this house with us, we definitely plan on staying there again.
