Family vacation at Corolla Odyssey
Perfect house for my large family. We had 16 adults and four children. With 9 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms, everyone had their own space. The house had a pool and hot tub. The walk to the beach was a little hike- about 20-15 minutes. Having a wagon helped to bring chairs, umbrellas and other beach things. The kitchen and great room were all open and with two large tables and eight bar stools, everyone could sit and eat together. I highly recommend this house got large groups.

2025 Newton/Rocha/Rucker vacation
I don’t know where to begin, the house is perfect for large families and handicapped friendly! The rooms are a great size, the pool was a lifesaver with the kids, the location to the beach is just a short distance in either direction, the neighborhood is clean and quiet, and one of the kid’s favorite things was the icy truck that drive through the neighborhood every day! We loved it so much that the kids were coming to me the day before we left asking to come back next year when we do our family vacation!

Beautiful house/Grossly under kept
The house would have been perfect except for the beds were terrible to sleep on. The house wasn’t kept clean( found blood on pillow, mold in shower and on shower curtain. And filth on floor around baseboards.) Who paints the front of the house but not the back? TV’s were not Samara TV’s.

Family reunion 2024
Great location, spacious for large family, with a decent pool. Reasons i wouldnt return to this rental or refer others. Mattresses were EXTREMELY uncomfortable, pool decking had a large hole at the entry, definite safety issue, grill had no propane but was replaced within 2 hrs altho too late for that nights dinner. There wasn't any cleaning supplies, not even a broom. Cushions need to be lifted as there were food particles found there.
Doors and locks were stiff and difficult. Left refridgerator ice maker was checked by maintenance but never returned to fix it, leaving us to purchase ice. Overall the mattresses desperately need to be replaced. My absolute reason for not returning.
That being said, we made do, shouldn't have to tho for such a price.
Managed to have a great reunion and Corolla, itself, didnt disappoint as usual.
hard and uncomfortable

Needs a thorough cleaning.
Property was the perfect size for my family, but was not thoroughly cleaned. Several bed spreads as well as fabric shower curtains had food stains. One bed spread had blood stains. Some rooms included extra bed spreads in the closet but one of them were also soiled which made me lose complete trust in the cleanliness of any of them. We had to wash most of them before we could use them. There was also a lot of dust and spider webs over the breakfast bar. One of the second floor rooms had insane amount of dust so much so that my cousing had an allergic reaction and broke out in hives. She spent the majority of our stay on the leather couch because she could not sleep in the bed. We were so worried that it could be bedbugs that we went and lifted up the mattress and found huge dust balls on the bedrails as well as on the carpet, we also found a cracker which let is know there had been no vacuuming under the bed in some time. There was sand in the master bathroom as well as animal poop on the back deck. The siding on the house is also rusted and cracked in places. I called management two days into our stay to let them know and their response was that I should've called sooner so they could bring clean linen. I let them know that we had already washed them. My famiy arrived at different times so we discovered things progressively. I tried to compile a list so I could reference everything. We made the best of it but I would not stay or recommend this house because of cleanliness.

Beautiful home that could use some TLC. Beds could use new more comfortable mattresses. Decks have some nails sticking up and one board sticking up. Rental agency very responsive to us with everything. All areas that have carpet need replaced as pet smell is pretty prominent. Take toilet paper with you! Only had it in one bathroom when we arrived. I listed all the negatives first but overall a very nice place to stay. It would have been nice if the pool could’ve been heated because the weather was cooler than usual.

Great Family House for Large Gatherings!
This is a great house if you have a large group to gather for your special event or vacation. We were able to max out the capacity with almost no problems whatsoever. This house comes completely stocked with everything you need for cooking and entertaining. There are only a couple of little things which kept this from being an absolute five-star house.
- The beds on the bottom floor have poor quality mattresses barely sufficient for even teenagers.
- There were a couple of towel racks broken or barely attached.
We would definitely come back to this house again.

50th wedding anniversary celebration with family
This property worked wonderfully for our family of 20. The location and house layout was perfect for 10 adults and 10 children. The kitchen is amazingly well equipped with 2 refrigerators, 2 dishwashers. and 2 coffee makers. We went to the beach during the day and returned later in the day when the pool was out of the sun. The 4 rating is primarily the result of some cleanliness issues and the property needing some tender loving care which will be shared with the property manager. We would definitely consider renting this property again.

Large space great for families
We had a family vacation to OBX and this property suited our needs for all ages. Having private bathrooms in most bedrooms was an amazing amenity. They have every cooking utensil you could need and then some. It is very well designed for large groups. We contacted the property management company during our stay for a very minor issue and they were quick and responsive. There were a couple minor things that aren’t included on the VRBO listing (ie no bath mats, no kitchen hand towels provided), but all of that information was provided after booking by the property management company allowing us plenty of time to pack and plan accordingly. Overall a great stay!

Great house for family trip
Great house for a big family. Having bathroom in every room is such a nice perk. Yard was small and exterior needs some TLC. The grass in front is useless with all the hornets flying around. If backyard was bigger for after beach or pool day activities it would be a 5 out of 5.

Family Vacation
Four generations of my family spent a week together and had a wonderful time in the pool, at the beach, on a wild horse tour, shopping and sharing meals. The house was great and well supplied with everything we needed!
A minor plumbing problem was addressed very quickly.
