S033- 4 BRs, Private Pool, Hot Tub and Shuffleboard in a quiet cul-de-sac!
The Hiding Place has it all, including modern decor and a kitchen with all granite countertops. Tucked into the corner of a quiet cul-de-sac (with room for extra vehicles), this lovely vacation home offers privacy that is a rare find on the Outer Banks.
The private pool and hot tub are almost completely out of view of the neighbors due to mature trees and shrubs. Enjoy the outdoor sound system while grilling, playing basketball, swimming in the private pool or playing on your own shuffleboard court.
The Hiding Place is well-stocked with movies, books, games and puzzles for all ages- including a toy box for young children. Take the kayak to the bay for a paddle (PFCs provided). Under the home is a spacious area for shaded activities on a hot afternoon or rainy day. Don't forget to walk to the pond- the turtles love cereal!
You even have access to the famed Currituck Club Public Golf Course. Schedule a tee time at least two weeks in advance. Community tennis is also nearby!
Only 2000 feet to the beach in Section J of Ocean Sands.

Ehhhhh
The house itself is nice, loved all the accommodations. Toys, board games, pool, all the things. But the cleanliness of the house was poor. Ants everywhere, and the drier was broken. They did replace it, but did not notify us they did so, and we were not at the house when they did so. The rental office was definitely not the friendliest, and really actually upset me. All in all vacation/house was great. But definitely need a good cleaning and look over for repairs.

The hiding place
We loved this house!! It was SO cute and just the perfect amount of room for us all. We loved the pool and hot tub. The upstairs tv’s didn’t work which was frustrating. I loved that they had everything we needed for the kids. I just wish I would have known that they had everything so I wouldn’t have brought it. (Highchair, toys, sand toys, packnplay, etc)

Grown children and grandchildren said ""Perfect vacation home for us!"
This home had the perfect floor plan, location, amenities, outdoor space, and location for us! The pictures do not do it justice for it is much better. Perfect for family time, individual time while others are close by. The pool was delightful!
Thank you for a wonderful OBX vacation!

We had a great time at the beach
Will never rent through this realtor again. Pool was broke when we got there. You could tell it wasn't cleaned or serviced although it was supposed to be on day of arrival. Called realtor on Monday morning g said the would have someone out. Nobody came till Wednesday and by that time I fixed it myself. No pool from Sunday till Wednesday afternoon. Terrible customer service

The house was fine. It was advertised accurately. It was not clean. I sent pictures to property manager. Pet hair on floor (no pets allowed), very dusty, mildew in bathrooms, sand in pool, trash not taken out by previous tenants, vacuum completely full.

Fun and perfect size
We have a family of 6 and invited two more kids with us. The size of the house was perfect for kids. Loved that the kitchen overlooked the pool. All our kids swim but we could keep an eye on them while cooking dinner.
It’s a little hike to the beach so we appreciated the carts provided. They were a huge help, don’t think we could have made it without them!
Our boys enjoyed the basketball net and the large driveway was great for two cars and enough room to play a game of hoops.
Privacy of this home was amazing for us. We felt secluded without a whole lot of people peeping in the pool/yard like other houses right in the road. We are nature people so The greenery around the pool really set the oasis mood for us.
We loved our stay and would recommend. Wish it was a little closer walk to the beach. That was tough on really hot days. Our kids are 7-16 so they all were self-sufficient and walked independently. I wouldn’t want to imagine trying to do the beach walk with any younger kids. Next time we’d entertain renting a golf cart. Also, we quickly realized there is no parking at the beach access closest to the house so even if we wanted to drive the 5 blocks with kids and beach stuff we wouldn’t have anywhere to park.

Nice place, clean, well organized. Beach is a little inconvenient because there's no where to park so there's about a ten minute walk, but we knew that going in. Would stay there again.

Good location, property okay
Great: Location. Convenient to all of Corolla!
Good: Pool, hot tub (cover needs to be replaced), fairly private, walk to beach
Not so Good: Broken chair left at end of drive way greeted us on arrival. Shower doors were mildew stained. Trash and items were left around exterior and pool area including shoes from prior guests, bottle tops, fake finger nails, and kids toys.

Would not stay again
Property needs a good overall cleaning. Cobwebs and dust everywhere. Clearly not being cleaned under furniture, there was food and trash from previous guests under beds/furniture. Inside kitchen cabinets dirty. Appliances needed cleaned before use. Ants got into food on counter, traps not helping. Had to call to have pool deck lights fixed, hot tub light and internet. All were fixed in a timely manner. We did enjoy the pool/hot tub and shuffleboard. Short walk to beach. Enjoyed our time in Corolla but would not stay at this property again.

OBX Oasis
We absolutely loved our stay here. Home was clean, beautifully decorated and nice and secluded from neighbors due to the trees. We stayed in the pool and hot tub any time we weren’t at the beach and it was perfect- refreshing and clean. Check in and out was easy and painless. This home was perfect for my husband and I but definitely had room for many more! We loved the neighborhood we were in as well. Quiet and laid back and not a lot of traffic to fight. Great distance from local shops, restaurants and grocery stores. Only recommendation I would make is changing the lock on the front door. We struggled most days getting it to lock or h lock. Would definitely stay here again!
