Sep 5, 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Very disappointed We arrived on Friday to find the toilet, wifi, and tv's weren't working. I notified the property management team a few times via their text communication that was recommended then was told to call a 800 number. I asked for someone to call me regarding the issues and several hours later on Saturday finally received a call. They decided to send over maintenance later Saturday night without notifying me then left a note saying they couldn't enter because we weren't there. So I had to reach out again and told them how disappointed I was and so they asked for a good time on Sunday night to stop by. Since we were leaving on Monday am I said it was too late. The place wasn't in the best condition with mold in the bathroom and poor beds along with wifi, tv, and a broken toilet but the most disappointing part was the lack of customer service from the property management team. ##### karen w. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Matthew W. Jul 2, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great place! We had originally booked a different rental for our trip to Corolla, but had major issues when we first arrived leaving us with nowhere to stay! Thank goodness we found this place and it was available the next day! Such a nice, roomy, clean space perfect for our family! It was a short drive to the beach and had plenty of restaurants/shops close by! 100% recommend! ##### Matthew W. Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cinder M. Jun 22, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Location is perfect! Perfect location! The property has fewer steps than most beach homes..this made my vacation possible. Hope to stay here again next year. ##### Cinder M. Stayed 7 nights in May 2020 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jewel W. Aug 14, 2018 #### August 2018 Stay Loved the location ! Really didn’t care that the resort didn’t have much parking but the trolley made up for it . Also , didn’t like the broken bathroom door , and laundry room door ##### Jewel W. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### John H. Jul 19, 2015 #### July 2015 Stay We've enjoyed our time in this lovely condo - especially the great amenities at Corolla Light. The only thing missing was a hot tub. Our dog enjoyed being on one level, too. ##### John H. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Omni Charlotte Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Charlotte-Hotels-Omni-Charlotte-Hotel.h6961.Hotel-Information) > > [Drury Inn & Suites Charlotte Northlake](https://www.expedia.ca/Charlotte-Hotels-Drury-Inn-Suites-Charlotte-Northlake.h2097104.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in St. Thomas](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Thomas-Hotels.d6140138.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [The Westin Charlotte](https://www.expedia.ca/Charlotte-Hotels-The-Westin-Charlotte.h899229.Hotel-Information) > > [Kyomachiya Ryokan Sakura - Urushitei](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Kyomachiya-Ryokan-Sakura-Urushitei.h12291971.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Pembroke Pines](https://www.expedia.ca/Pembroke-Pines-Hotels.d9484.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Calgary](https://www.expedia.ca/Calgary-Hotels.d178245.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Cheap Hotels in Midtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Midtown-New-York-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-n6203489-0-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [La Grande Residence Vancouver at The Sutton Place Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels-La-Grande-Residence-Vancouver-At-The-Sutton-Place-Hotel.h1205026.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Charlotte Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Charlotte-Hotels-Sheraton-Charlotte-Hotel.h11574.Hotel-Information) > > [Econo Lodge Vernon](https://www.expedia.ca/Vernon-Hotels-Econo-Lodge-Vernon.h4992293.Hotel-Information) > > [Oceanfront Hotels in San Diego County](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-San-Diego-County-Oceanfront-Hotels.0-0-d178304-tOceanfrontHotels.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Hotels in Medicine Hat](https://www.expedia.ca/Medicine-Hat-Hotels.d4118.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Super 8 by Wyndham Dauphin](https://www.expedia.ca/Dauphin-Hotels-Super-8-By-Wyndham-Dauphin.h855267.Hotel-Information) > > [The Omni Grove Park Inn & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Asheville-Hotels-The-Omni-Grove-Park-Inn.h438107.Hotel-Information) > > [Hôtel Sacacomie](https://www.expedia.ca/Saint-Alexis-Des-Monts-Hotels-Hotel-Sacacomie.h1669175.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Pickle Lake (YPL) to Thunder Bay (YQT)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ypl/yqt/pickle-lake-to-thunder-bay) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to St. John's (YYT)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/yyt/edmonton-to-st-johns) > > [Flights from Buffalo (BUF) to New York (JFK)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/buf/jfk/buffalo-to-new-york) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Matane (YME)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/yme/montreal-to-matane) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Jackson (JAC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/jac/toronto-to-jackson-hole) > > [Flights from Winnipeg (YWG) to London (YXU)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ywg/yxu/winnipeg-to-london) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Honolulu (HNL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/hnl/vancouver-to-honolulu) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Denver](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Denver-Intl.d5129540.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Activities > [Things to do in Tampa](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Tampa.d602996.Travel-Guide-Activities) > > [Things to do in Indian Shores](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Indian-Shores.d10770.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Vacation Rentals > [Pender Island Vacation Rentals](https://www.expedia.ca/Pender-Island-Vacation-Rentals.d601380.Travel-Guide-VacationRentals)
