The extra living spaces on the other floors made it possible to spread out for games etc. The pool area is a great size with plenty of lounge chairs and the outdoor bar is a nice feature. Being directly across from the beach access was so convenient for hauling our gear and going back and forth as needed . There were several beach chairs and toys at the house which saved some of us from packing our own. I would definitely recommend this vacation home! ##### Amy Y. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dan J.

Oct 31, 2023 #### Our 2nd stay at this House We like vacationing in Corolla in the Fall and this is our second stay at this particular house. My son is a surfer and likes being able to check the waves from the top deck. The rest of us like the ease of walking across the street to get to the beach and the views in the morning and evening are beautiful. The decks around the house are fun for morning coffee and evening snacks and cocktails. The house was clean and well organized for our use. We were all adults and liked being able to find areas of quiet when needed for working remote or just reading.You get a workout with all the stairs but we were fine with it. The kitchen has an induction stove top and we loved it. We enjoy cooking together and the kitchen seemed well organized with everything we needed to prepare meals. The grill had propane so it was ready for our use too. We didn't use the pool this time but loved reading in the pool area. ##### Lynn M. ### 8/10 Good #### Mickey B. Aug 8, 2022 Liked: Location, listing accuracy #### Perfect Beach Vacation We had a lovely time at the house. The pool is great and the beach is across the street and so nice! There are plenty of restaurants and the food lion is open 24-hours for food shopping. Super Wings is in the same parking lot as Food Lion and covers all of your souvenir needs. The house had plenty of pool toys and beach chairs. The kitchen was well stocked with all your cooking needs and the grill worked well too. Some cons: The house was not properly cleaned when we arrived. Sand was everywhere and the floors were so dirty our feet and socks were black. We also weren’t given enough towels at first. But management came back the next day with a cleaning crew and they cleaned everything. We were told that turnover day is Saturday and they were short-staffed so it took extra long for the cleaning to happen. We arrived for check-in on time but the house wasn’t “cleaned” until almost an hour and a half later. The gardener came on Friday morning and made the pool dirty with grass shavings so we couldn’t use the pool for a few hours until the filter cleaned it all out. They should come on another day in our opinion. We had some WiFi connection issues and the AC on one of the floors was broken one day but management came quickly to repair both which was good. The house accommodated our family of 13 so nicely and we made wonderful memories and despite some of the annoyances, we chose to rebook for next summer. We had such awesome views of the sunset from the top roof deck. Keeping the cons in mind, you can work around them and have a great time at the house. ##### Mickey B.

Apr 10, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Communication confusion, but overall a great house This house is listed on several sites; we found it via VRBO. But all communications will come from Vacasa. This caused some confusion on our part due to minor inconsistencies in the descriptions on the two sites and responses to direct inquiries we made to the property manager. One site says no beach chairs or other amenities, so we packed chairs, only to find the house has several! Same with comforters/quilts - we were told that due to COVID, only sheets and a blanket per bed were available. So we packed bedding, only to discover ample bedding, including comforters and extra blankets. In addition, we made sure to inquire about the hot tub availability, and were told that it was available during our April stay. When we arrived, the hot tub was dirty and empty. The pool, which we knew was not available for heating, was a swamp. We called Vacasa and the representative was very pleasant and had the management company call me. The management company woman was rude. The owner of the house called me, and he was very apologetic and arranged for the pool/hot tub company to come out the next business day. He explained that there was a miscommunication with the management company. So, the biggest complaint we have is that there seems to be an exceptional number of cooks in the kitchen with respect to this property (and probably many similar properties in OBX). We have never experienced such confusion and miscommunication in renting a vacation property. That said, the minor inconveniences were not really a big deal (mostly annoying to deal with after a 10-hour drive) and were ultimately resolved to our satisfaction. The house is very spacious, well- maintained and the kitchen is very well-stocked. The beds are comfortable and the linens are of decent quality. There is ample comfortable seating in the house and on the many decks. The dining table is gigantic and seats at least 14. The appliances are relatively new and work well. We especially appreciated the ice machine in the lower kitchenette. The location of the house is great. A mile from two shopping plazas, including one with a grocery store. The public beach access is literally across from the front yard. The neighborhood is lovely and all the houses around are well-kept and it was very quiet at night. The police keep a regular patrol so we felt comfortable letting the teens walk/bike around alone. We would consider this house again if we return to Corolla. ##### Erika B.

Sep 19, 2022 #### OBX/family vacation/wedding We have been doing family vacations for 15+ years at Whalehead beach. This year everyone loved the house!!! The upstairs room was open and plenty of space for everyone to enjoy. The large kitchen table was great for eating dinners together, and the pool area was the best of any of the other houses we stayed at in Whalehead. Beach access was suburb. We would love to stay here again. ##### JULIE L. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Linda R. May 16, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication #### Gorgeous, well equipped, private bathroom in every bedroom. The weather for ourweek in May 2022 was really ugly ;but the house solved all our problems. 4000+feet. With several sitting areas, play room. We ate out and in. The kids were taken to a local sports complex, where there was swimming, another place offered trampolines. Dinners out were very good. Above anything was the layout, it was perfect and a private bathroom in every bedroom! ##### Linda R.

We just completed a wonderful stay! We are a family of 4 adults. This house gave us plenty of space and during the week we talked about returning here with extended family! Bright and cheery with a well stocked kitchen and we like to cook! We enjoyed the pool and the pool area! It’s a very convenient location across the street from the public beach access. Easy to go back to the house from the beach if you forgot your book! The house was clean and did not feel worn after the summer season. Thank you to the cleaning crew! This is our third stay in the area and we will return to this property. Views of the ocean from the living and dining areas were beautiful! ##### Lynn M. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Omni Charlotte Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Charlotte-Hotels-Omni-Charlotte-Hotel.h6961.Hotel-Information) > > [Cheap Hotels in Downtown Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Downtown-Toronto-Toronto-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-n6057934-0-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Fairmont Le Chateau Frontenac](https://www.expedia.ca/Quebec-Hotels-Fairmont-Le-Chateau-Frontenac.h12522.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Vacation Club at Desert Oasis](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Welk-Resorts-Palm-Springs.h1140793.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Kingston Waterfront by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Kingston-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Kingston-Waterfront.h4812.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Granville Island](https://www.expedia.ca/Granville-Island-Vancouver-Hotels.0-n56153-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Drury Inn & Suites Charlotte Northlake](https://www.expedia.ca/Charlotte-Hotels-Drury-Inn-Suites-Charlotte-Northlake.h2097104.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Charlotte Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Charlotte-Hotels-Sheraton-Charlotte-Hotel.h11574.Hotel-Information) > > [Ahern Hotel Las Vegas](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Vegas-Hotels-The-Ahern-Luxury-Boutique-Hotel.h74620733.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Charlotte](https://www.expedia.ca/Charlotte-Hotels-The-Westin-Charlotte.h899229.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Grand Forks](https://www.expedia.ca/Grand-Forks-Hotels.d1312.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Four Seasons Astir Palace Hotel Athens](https://www.expedia.ca/Athens-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Astir-Palace-Hotel-Athens.h16279225.Hotel-Information) > > [Homewood Suites by Hilton Chicago Downtown/Magnificent Mile](https://www.expedia.ca/Chicago-Hotels-Homewood-Suites-By-Hilton-Chicago-DowntownMagnificent-Mile.h8796842.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Curaçao](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Curacao-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d6143269-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Hotels in Durango](https://www.expedia.ca/Durango-Hotels.d180048.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Gardiner](https://www.expedia.ca/Gardiner-Hotels.d7362.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Cheap Hotels in Niagara Falls](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-0-d6023515-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [The Omni Grove Park Inn & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Asheville-Hotels-The-Omni-Grove-Park-Inn.h438107.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Delhi (DEL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/del/toronto-to-delhi) > > [Flights from Ottawa (YOW) to Paris (CDG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yow/cdg/ottawa-to-paris) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Ajnala (ATQ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/atq/montreal-to-sri-guru-ram-das-ji-intl-airport) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Milan (MXP)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/mxp/toronto-to-milan) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Ho Chi Minh City (SGN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/sgn/toronto-to-ho-chi-minh-city) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Dakar (DKR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/dkr/calgary-to-dakar) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Tamarindo (TNO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/tno/vancouver-to-tamarindo) > > [Flights from Kitchener (YKF) to Alberta (YQL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ykf/yql/kitchener-to-lethbridge) ### Cars > [Minivan Car Rentals in Ottawa](https://www.expedia.ca/Minivan-Car-Rentals-In-Ottawa.d178296-tMinivan.Car-Rental-Guide-Class) ### Packages > [Toronto Zoo](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Zoo-Scarborough.d503151.Vacation-Attraction)
