The house was very nice and appeared to be updated recently. The bedrooms were all comfortable and the view from the deck allowed us to watch the sunrise with our morning coffee over the ocean.

My family had a wonderful time and that's all that matters to me, fracturing my foot put a damper on my vacation but seeing my family together and smiling was enough for me. ##### Sherry G. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Clara S. Jun 19, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing Property The house was beautiful and the walk to the beach was easy. The rooms were set up well. One Queen room did not have a bathroom and the beds were not super comfortable but we made do. The area was fantastic and close to groceries and shopping. We easily traveled to the 4x4 Carolla beach and found the wild horses. The beach for the property was very secluded and only our area used it which was nice because it was not overly crowded and we were able to spread out and relax. We loved our stay! The only thing that we wished for was to be right on the beach and be able to see the ocean but we knew that coming into it and for the price it was great. ##### Clara S.

This house was recommended to us by relatives and it was everything they said it was. It was clean, comfy, and the kitchen was better stocked with cooking gear than we thought. The location was perfect for hitting the beach, biking to Duck Donuts, shopping or food. The historic village of Corolla was a nice bike ride and the museum was fascinating. We also loved biking up to the reserve for the horses. We didn't see any but it was fun to get to the sand dunes. We also took advantage of the kayaking, ax throwing, restaurants, and shopping in Corolla. Getting to the southern parts of OBX meant battling some traffic but there was enough to do in Corolla to keep us happy. Overall, it was a wonderful house in a great location and I would highly recommend it. ##### Patricia W.

Apr 19, 2024 #### Shoreline is great - the house...not so much First, let me say that I made this summer rental reservation through VRBO, which I will never do again. The house was completely run down (not like the pictures at all). Mold in the bathrooms, carpet filthy, beds lumpy, stove door was hanging off, the decking was coming up. It was a disaster. We called Shoreline and they responded immediately. They sent someone to clean the carpet, fix the stove, get rid of the mold in the bathrooms and fix the decking. The house, in the end, was still a dump, but Shoreline did a top notch job in responding quickly. I would go with them in the future. ##### Cinthia A.

No shade so how can you use it???? Furniture on the inside uncomfortable. Could not watch tv in most rooms because instructions were terrible. the living room had 7 remotes not labeled Access to the beach was DIFFICULT not just 500 feet to the ocean up steps and more steps then down steep steps...how do you do that with babies every day in 90 degree heat.

Apr 19, 2024 #### OSA-5 - Interlude There are good features about this house, however, there were more problems than good features. First of all, the furniture was filthy dirty and broke down. There was no comfortable place to sit. Second, the air conditioning for the 2nd floor did not function. Third, the surfaces in the kitchen and tables were filthy dirty and the small table was about to collapse. Fourth, the master bedroom had a terrible smell that seemed to be coming from the tub. Fifth, all the showers and tubs looked to have black mold in the corners and crevices. Sixth, the bathroom downstairs which we never used, had black mold above the toilet. The weather was nice is the only good part of this vacation. I would hope the rental company would refund my rental money. ##### Natalie M. ### 8/10 Good #### Denise F. Oct 12, 2020 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness #### Great home-Poorly maintained Home has great features and a well equipped kitchen. The carpets were soiled and not well vacuumed. Dirty and dusty between railings along stairs. Husband found prescription medicine on floor next to bed. If a child got that it could have been disastrous. All the dishes were greasy and had to be rewashed. The walls had dirt spots all the way to the ceiling in kitchen and dining area. Air conditioning in middle floor wasn’t cooling at all. Finally got it fixed on Tuesday, but wasn’t cooling again by Friday. When packing to check out by 9am a black SUV was scoping us out starting at 8:30, parked on a side street and as we were pulling out the vehicle pulled up to the end of the driveway and pulled in as soon as we pulled out of driveway. Talk about can’t waiting for you to leave!! Chances are we won’t stay there again. ##### Denise F.

May 13, 2025 #### Interlude review Overall we really enjoy coming to the Interlude. We've now been twice. The house is spacious and well laid out. It suits our family very well, and the price is right compared to many other properties around. The downsides were mostly regarding upkeep and cleanliness of the property. At first when you drive up you can see a few of the wooden deck braces were hanging loose. The kitchen had 2 hanging light fixtures with missing globes so they were just the bulbs. About half of the window cranks were broken and could only be closed by going outside and pushing them closed from the deck. However, many of the windows are not accessible from the outside, so that meant we had the windows closed most of the time. The covered porch was covered in pollen and you could tell it hadn't been cleaned in weeks. Additionally, some of the porch furniture was broken, and had been since our prior trip 2 years earlier. The deck furniture on the upper level was cheap plastic, which seemed out of place compared to other rentals which had much nicer furniture. The kitchen was missing a few important items like a full set of measuring spoons. Lastly, the floors did not seem to have been swept very well when we arrived. The TV died on us while we were watching a movie, but to their credit, they came and brought a new one within a day. The negatives I mentioned were not awesome, but in light of the price, still probably provided the right value for the price. We would likely go back again, maybe planning to invest a little time in mopping/cleaning the porch right away so we could enjoy that space better. Hopefully we wouldn't have to though. ##### Zachary H. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Amy B.

Apr 19, 2024 #### Fun Corolla Vacation The house is in a great location, but definitely needs some TLC. It's functional and has the minimums you need for a beach vacation. The outside porch railing looked to be in the process of being replaced but there was extra wood, old pieces of deck, etc just sitting in the sand in front of the house. The upper deck railing was wobbly and made me nervous with my young children. Outside looked worn and there was a lot of rust, etc. Lots of scuffs and marks/dents on all the walls- could use a paint freshen up inside for sure! Mattresses are all pretty thin and uncomfortable, and linens were minimal at best. The fourth full bath is on the ground level on a different floor from all the bedrooms, so that would be helpful to know in advance. Kitchen is well stocked and functional! Shoreline has you put all the linens on your own beds and provides you with three rolls of toilet paper to put in the bathrooms yourself, which in general I just found odd. Not a huge deal, but I've never rented a beach house that had me make my own bed upon arrival. It's a 2-3 minute walk to beach entry which was very nice. Overall, we enjoyed our stay but did feel like some basic maintenance and general freshening up would go a long way. ##### Jessica N.

We had a great family vacation. I think the house needed to be somewhat updated and some of the appliances needed to be replaced. But all in all the house did it's purpose gave us family memories to last a lifetime!! ##### debbie s. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen M.

Beach access is convenient with no hwy crossings and we had a really nice sand bar at low tide that was great for enjoying the water as it kept the waves at bay. Layout of house is good and the bathrooms and kitchen have nice stone and ceramic surfaces. Will definitely consider again for future stays. ##### Timothy Y.

Few updates/recommendations Cleaning needs to be better. The bathroom in the twin bed was not cleaned at all with sand all over the place. Also, the shower door and tower holder were broken. I think they missed a full inspection on this corner from the last tenant. Suggestions: 1) twin beds mattress makes lots of noise 2) wooden bars on the bunk beds need tightening. It feels like its fall apart. 3) The sofas and chairs were dirty & stained. 4) The sofa mattress is totally a mess and can't be considered as an additional bed. We had to bring in our own foam mattress topper and used all the comforters to make it work. 5) Oven door was broken. Good thing we had a handy man and he made a temporary fix. 6) Remove all broken items before your next tenant. There was a blue whale centerpiece broken. Overall we love the house! Its location, space, the view, access to the beach and all the amenities was perfect! Although we brought some of our own stuff it wasn't necessary! It was a great vacation and thank you for sharing your home! ##### Helena F. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2021
