This location was perfect. The area was quiet, it was close to shopping, yet
it was not in the busiest area of the Outer Banks. The house is not beach
front, but we did not mind that. It was only a couple blocks' walk to the
beach. It had a nice view of the ocean and the lighthouse. The pool seemed
small at first, but it's actually quite large for the neighborhood and was
perfect for our family. The house itself is very nice. There was plenty of
room, the kitchen was well stocked with appliances etc, and the master bath
had a huge tub and shower. I only had a couple of minor complaints. The
patio furniture at the pool and on the decks was cheap plastic, and frankly
with a house of this expense one would expect better. Half the chairs were
broken and the other half were just plain filthy. One of the bathrooms on
the second floor, although clean, smelled like a public restroom. We did not
use that bathroom at all because of it. Finally, it is normal for a beach
house to have a musty first floor in the middle of August, but I would
expect at least a dehumidifier to cut it back. The rec room was so damp
and musty I gave up on the pool table after the first night. I have allergies
so I probably noticed it more than others would. I am probably pickier than
most. More...

Loved the house, very nice, well layed out and had everything you could want. Liked that it was so close to the beach, close enough to markets and stores, but far enough away for a nice peaceful vacation, the beaches in Corolla are very nice, they are wide and not crowded at all. Plenty of things to do , kids loved the pool at night, and me and my son enjoyed the den, we would play pool and watch Espn on the big screeen at night. Kitchen was nice and the Great Room was a nice place to relax in the evenings, enjoyed our vacation there alot and would recommend this house and location to anyone. More...

Our family (all 15 of us) have been coming to OBX for 17 years. This was our first venture into Ocean Hills, and we loved it! We had been at Corolla Resort, but found it was getting more and more crowded :(
We loved the house. It was much better equipped than any house we rented that we could remember. We loved that we could all be in the common area and it wasn't crazy crowded. The kids loved the gameroom and the layout in general. We had two problems in the kitchen which we called about and were addressed within hours-- great service there. We have parents that have walking issues, so the distance to the beach was a bit of a bummer, but the lot helped with that. More...

first, i will say that the house was great! this is our 12th year in the outer banks and we've stayed in some great houses and some not so great - this was on the great side of the spectrum! truly, a very comfortable house, perfect size for two families (could certainly accommodate three families), wonderful pool area (had pook deck room to move!), very well maintained, great decks for outdoor reading, clean, well equipped kitchen, wireless internet, etc. we just didn't realize that in the villages of ocean hill you do not have easy access to the beach. you do have to walk a few blocks (depending on where you are) or pack the car and drive to one of two parking areas with voh beach access. the map made it appear that you could cut through the court in back of the house and beach access was at the end of the court. there are rest room facilities and a community pool (and ice cream!) at the beach access area, which was nice - and you can rent an umbrella there. overall - a wonderful value for the outer banks!

We have been to many beaches and I think we all agreed this was the best. The house was awesome. We didn't miss the boardwalk of other beaches because it was great to come back to the house and have everything we needed after a day at the beach. It was awesome that we could leave all our stuff on the beach from day to day and know that it would still be there! Pool was great as was the hot tub. Plenty of space inside for everyone to spread out and enjoy themselves! I will say for people who want to be in more of the action they probably wouldn't want to stay in Corolla, because it's a ways to travel to get to the more touristy attractions!
