"Property and location are great. Phil, the owner, is fantastic. Our Fourth year at this property, and Phil has always kept it up to date with improvements and updates each year."
"Very clean and well stocked property. We enjoyed the seclusion along with a nice fire in the fire pit by the sound. We had horses visit most mornings on and around the cottage. Would definitely stay again."
"Tracy’s recommendations for things to do and directions about getting on and off the beach were great! (Definitely follow his guidance vs google maps which takes you over a more challenging dune). The house was amazing and fit our group of 14 phenomenally. The kitchen is well equipped for just about anything you may need. Everyone enjoyed the hot tub and cinema. The pool can get pretty sandy with the wind, but Tracy is very responsive if needed! Remember toiletries! We had kiddos with us and didn’t pack any so it made for an awkward first hour while some of them patiently waited for the Food Lion run before using the bathroom. Lots of sand toys and a few boogie boards which helped entertain everyone without having to lug things in. The horses love the backyard. We had rain the first couple of days and didn’t see any, but by the end the horses were in the yard several times a day. They can be curious so remember the 50 ft rule. The ability to disconnect and enjoy the simple things was unlike any other vacation we’ve taken. Even my teenagers were boogie boarding and flying kites. We spent hours on the beach with no one else within 1000ft of us! Highly recommend!"

"We had an amazing stay at this OBX 4x4 beach property! The house was clean, spacious, and had everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. One of the best parts was the peaceful location in the four wheel drive area of Corolla. It truly felt like getting away from the crowds while still being close enough to enjoy everything the Outer Banks has to offer.The wild horses wandering through the area were unforgettable and made the experience feel unique and special. We also loved being able to drive directly onto the beach instead of hauling all of our gear back and forth. The views, quiet atmosphere, and outdoor spaces made it easy to unwind every day.The hosts clearly put a lot of care into the property, and communication was excellent from start to finish. If you are looking for a true OBX adventure with privacy, nature, and a relaxing beach vibe, this is the perfect place to stay. We would absolutely come back again!"
"We enjoyed our stay and seeing all of the horses! It was perfect for our long weekend trip! My only suggestion is to provide more information on the listing. It did say 4x4 but not that you would be driving on the beach for several miles and that there are no restaurants, gas or stores after corolla. A big thank you to Brad for providing dinner for weary travelers! I should have done more research! It was so worth it!"

"The house was everything we needed! Enjoyed the space and all the amenities that came with! Its was very peaceful and quite area! The horses were always around and so cool to see! Only issue we had was the drive on the beach! There was a seal that came on to the beach for several days and was a little tricky to get around at times! But we really enjoyed our time!!!"

"We had an amazing experience at Under the Oaks. The house was clean and comfortable. We used the hot tub nightly and enjoyed making s’mores by the fire pit. The location was AMAZING! We saw wild horses, a seal, a baby turtle and 2 playful otters during our stay. We definitely recommend the adventure that is 4x4ing it along the beach! "

"Property was easy to get into. Andrew is great to deal with. I forgot my last payment and he texted me to remind me and I was able to pay and not loose my reservation. On key thing, although the listing says 4x4 it was easy for us to overlook the fact that there was an unpaved road on the beach that was required to get to the home. Thank goodness we had 4x4. Couple other things, the rule book in the home mentioned outside access to water for rinsing sand from underneath vehicles, but the outside water wasn’t working. The internet connection mentioned in the book with password, wasn’t working. The network connection listed wasn’t available as listed in the book. Additionally it was mentioned to clean up dog poop or you’ll be charged. We cleaned up so much dog poop that was definitely not from our 17lb Boston terrier. I love this property but there should be more info in the listing. "
