The best!
We had a wonderful stay at this property. The layout of the home was perfect - we especially liked the lower level rec room for those who wanted to stay up a little later. The house was very well equipped inside and with plenty of beach toys/equiptment. It’s a quick 5 minute walk to the beach and the Corolla Light amenities are also very accessible. The property management company was very responsive and easy to communicate with. We have rented multiple properties within Corolla Light and this was among the best. We can’t wait to return!
Heidi K from Marion, MA - Guest's stay: 8/15/2026 - 8/22/2026
Absolutely recommend this place!
This house was more than I imagined. It was spacious, clean and a great location. It was in a resort complex so you get access to all the resort amenities. It was a short walk to the beach and the house had beach chairs, toys etc to borrow. There was bikes for the kids to ride. The owners were also super nice and checked in via text while there and as we were leaving which I thought was nice. We will definitely be coming back!

Greatest family vacation ever
We had three adults and eight kids ages from eighteen years to twenty two months . Plenty room for all of us. Great house very nice, and well taken care of. Every thing you need in the kitchen. Lots of bikes for the kids to ride. Close to the beach, we found something to do everyday. But the best was driving on the beach seeing the horses by the beautiful ocean. Another wonderful view to thank the Lord for!!!
