The house itself was beautiful. Very clean and well appointed. Location was excellent... a short convenient walk to beach, clubhouse, and an awesome Harris Teeter. Short drive to restaurants, shops, and beach parking. Corolla Park and Lighthouse were close and both worth a visit. The playground at the park was perfect. Currituck Club facilities were excellent, especially the pool and weight room. Golf course view was beautiful although we didn't play this week. Sunsets were amazing off the back upper deck. The Pool was clean, but had many rough areas (especially on the steps) and is in need of resurfacing. Corolla and Duck were both amazing towns. We had a great stay! We even took our Jeep on the north beach drive and got several great pictures of the wild horses on the beach! A truly great week with the family!

The house is in a great location and overall very good. The family really enjoyed the pool and arcade games. It needs maintenance in some places like loose fixtures and sliding doors, but the kitchen was recently renovated. The grill needed propane and the rental company quickly took care of that. I think everyone would be happy to stay here again.

Very clean and family-friendly! Great amenities at nearby club and still close to the ocean. Front door lock didn’t work a couple of times. Pool was a little dirty.

The property is very nice and well situated with a short walk to the grocery store. Corolla tends to be a bit quieter than other areas of the OBX and that is why we enjoy it. VRBO has this property listed as an 8-minute walk to the beach. This is not accurate. It is a 5-minute drive to public beach access and then a 5-minute walk. The neighborhoods across the street have “no trespassing” signs specifically targeting those staying in this community. However, it was simple enough to drive to the public beach access and walk from there. The private pool is nice but desperately needs to be resurfaced. We really enjoyed sitting out on the upper deck each morning with coffee and each evening with a cocktail. This was also the first VRBO where we have stayed that did not include basic kitchen items (salt & pepper, oil, etc.). If you cook at all, you will need to go purchase these items from the grocery store across the street. Also, I would recommend buying your own dish detergent as the one that the realty company gives you does not cut grease but merely smears it around. It is sad to see them waste money on such an inferior product. Despite my picky comments, I would stay here again.

The check in and out process was seemless. The house was clean however attention to detail needs work. There were spiders in corners of rooms and black mold growing in bathrooms. I do understand that there is a cleaning company that cleans prior to check-in and a conversation may need to be had with them. There was gum on the downstairs rug and the slider to the pool was damaged. The pool needs a little resurfacing.Other than these concerns, our vacation was great. We enjoyed the house and all of it's amenities. Loved the organization of the kitchen. We thought the idea of leaving non-perishable items for local families when checking out was an awesome idea.The location was great and we especially enjoyed feeding the turtles and the entrance. Please know they love hot dogs if you are thinking about feeding them.We also enjoyed the thought that the owners are fellow Marylanders by the decor and especially the "Orioles" themed golf cart in the garage.I would recommend this home to anyone and wouldn't discourage them by the minor issues as everything was in working order. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your home.

Tee to Shining Sea Review

The house was nice. Great location as it was close to entrance and grocery store. House has plenty of room. Amenities were ok. But it needs a lot of updating. Broken toilet, poses deck boards, in need of serious paint job (fence and outside), gas grill wouldn’t light, dirty pool and pool deck. Just put a little bit of TLC into the place and it could be five star.

Beautiful property.

We stayed for a partial week. So, unfortunately, we didn't have a chance to take advantage of the activities and facilities offered by the resort. However, the house was enough to keep 4 adults, 3 teenagers, and 3 little ones from getting stir crazy or bored, which ain't easy, lol. I loved that there is a grocery store, souvinier shop and ice cream parlor within walking distance, you don't even have to get on the main road. Added bonus, grocery store is open 24hrs. Also, we loved and appeciated the valet service at the beach and private parking. We didn't use the shuttle service to the beach but is another added perk. I would definitely stay at this property again.

Tee to Shining Sea

Best house we have stayed at in our 13 years of visiting this gorgeous island, cant wait till next year! Ocean and Sound Views, walking distance to grocery store/eateries/etc.... Could not ask for a better location with such a beautiful house. Amenities were plentiful in the house, I just can't say enough good things regarding our stay! ❤️ OBX The Kasza/Howell/Mulcahy Families
