Enjoy OBX vacation bliss at “Carolina Cottage”. Nestled in the Ocean Hill community of Corolla, this home offers stunning lighthouse and ocean views. Carolina Cottage is just five houses from the beach, less than 500 feet, so you will quickly be at the beach to enjoy serene stretches of sand and take a dip in the ocean. This cozy cottage includes access to the Villages at Ocean Hill community pools. You’ll love strolling through Historic Corolla Village as it is just a quick mile walk, bike ride or drive away.
The third floor features a great room, full of coastal charm and comfortable furnishing for relaxation. The fireplace is perfect for the cooler months while curling up with a beach read. Adjacent, the kitchen is equipped for preparing your favorite meals during your stay. The dining area is perfect for gathering for meals or solving a puzzle. Step outside and take in the warm salty breezes on the sundeck. The ample deck space is designed for blissful mornings and unwinding after a relaxing day at the beach.
The second floor features three master bedrooms, each with a private bathroom and deck access. There is an additional bedroom and a full bathroom. Take a rejuvenating soak in the hot tub on the deck before heading to bed.
The first floor features a laundry area and a private pool oasis. Splash in the pool or soak in the sun rays on the outdoor furnishings. Utilize the outside shower to wash the sand away. When you want a tasty snack, the outdoor kitchen and bar are ready for you to add your favorites.
Have the ultimate relaxing vacation at “Carolina Cottage”!

Guest recommendations
"Wonderful, comfortable home..just a little over a block to the beach. You can see the ocean from the upper deck.We have stayed in the house a few times before and think the updates are very nice, Wrong season to enjoy the pool..we didn't use the hot tub but it looked nice. Very comfortable house. We enjoyed it."
"House was perfect size for our family. Loved the pool area and close beach access."
"The home was everything we expected. Well equipped and a perfect location. Then pool was perfect and a welcome addition for hot afternoon swims."
"We love this home. We have stayed here 4 times and we love the location to the beach, the layout of the house, the pool and the quiet neighborhood."
Angela, thank you so much for the positive review and for appreciating the changes/updates we have done; we do try to respond to renters recommendations, especially when they come from repeat guests like you. More shade around the pool will go on our list for next season, it's just challenging when umbrellas can be very dangerous in the windy conditions at the beach. Hope to see you back for year #5! Kris
"This was our fourth year in Carolina Cottage, and we had such a wonderful time! We loved the addition of the outside barbecue area and the gate at the top entrance to the upper deck was so appreciated with our dog and toddler granddaughter! I’m putting in my reservation for next year later today!"
Shelly - we are so glad you had another good stay at Carolina Cottage, the changes you noted, such as the additional gate on the top deck, were direct responses to our repeat guests like you. Thanks. Kris
"Carolina Cottage is fantastic! It's close to the beach, stocked with lots of kitchen amenities and the backyard/pool area is perfect for family fun. There are so many decks for morning coffee and afternoon cocktails. Our only challenge was getting from the kitchen to back patio with arms full of food and table settings. This is probably our favorite Corolla house we've stayed at so far."
Lara: thank you for such a great review, we are so glad you and your family enjoyed Carolina Cottage. We are going to give some thought to how we can make the trek from the kitchen to the pool area easier, not sure what that might be, maybe one of those outdoor dumb waiters but we'll get some ideas from Twiddy and our handman. We hope you consider a return visit next year! Kris
"Just the right size for our family, pet friendly, lovely pool, great dining area too. So, so clean, didn’t pull out my Lysol once! This is the 4th time we’ve stayed at this home, and it just keeps getting better! And, within minutes walking to the ocean, (which you can hear the ocean waves & view from the top livingroom/deck area), Corrituck Lighthouse, Corolla Pizza & a new adorable coffee/latte outdoor Camper Shop @Banana Dog, Americanos & Chia Lattas were delicious too! We had gorgeous weather too this past week. Thank you Twiddy for your exceptional customer service & care. We will see you again!"
Thank you Barbara for the positive review, we are so glad you had another good experience staying at Carolina Cottage. We will give some thought to the seating in the living room, it's a pretty tight spot but there may be some solutions. Hope to see you back next year. Kris
"Love the gas stove! Appreciated how quiet the dishwasher ran. The anti-slip pads on the stairs were also appreciated."
"We love this house, the kitchen was stocked with everything you could need and the beds were comfy! We had the best time! The house was in the perfect location to the beach and the backyard was amazing!! The pool was our favorite part. We will definitely be back! Twiddy was also super helpful and quick to respond the couple of times we needed them."
Jade: thanks for the positive review, we are so glad you enjoyed Carolina Cottage, we love it ourselves. We hope to see you back next year. Kris
"Location and condition of the house"
Justyna: thank you for the recommendation, we are glad you enjoyed Carolina Cottage, we love it too! Hope to see you back next year. Kris
"Carolina Cottage was wonderful. Perfect for a small group."
"We absolutely loved Carolina Cottage and will stay there again I'm sure. The convenience to the beach and the warmth of the home were exactly what we love. We wouldn't change a thing and look forward to our next visit to Corolla and working with the Twiddy team."
Paula - thanks for the positive review and recommendation. The idea of adding a crock pot is a great one, especially for those visiting in the colder months like you. We do have a big steamer pot, not sure if you didn't see it or if Twiddy moved it but we will investigate this when we are there in September. I hope we see you back next year. Kris
"Great house! This is our second time staying here and love the layout of the house and the proximity to the beach."
Kelly - thanks for the positive review, we are glad you enjoyed your stay and hope you will be back again!
"Love the! Pet area under house. I have small dogs that go out frequently it saved me from walking my dogs in bad weather. Love the gas stove. It is actually my third time renting this house. I rented before the new owners and what a difference the new owners made."
Sandra - thank you so much for the terrific review, we are glad you enjoyed your stay and like all the improvements we have made. We love our place at the beach and will keep investing in it so we and our guests can make many more memories. I hope you will be back.
"The house was clean upon arrival. Kitchen well stocked with dishes, silverware and cookware. Nice view of the ocean from top deck. Beds were comfortable and all the bathrooms had new shower curtains. Very good weather for mid November. Have always enjoyed working with Twiddy and they don’t charge extra for your 4 legged family members!"
Thank you Wayne for the review, we are glad you enjoyed the house and hope you will come back some time.
"The pet friendly hardwood and tile floors, the fenced pet area underneath the house, the hot tub, and the landscaping. A superb house!"
Thank you Linda for such a great review, we are glad you enjoyed your stay. We love our house at the beach and our dogs have a great time there, glad we could share it with you. Hope you will come back sometime in the future.

"Clean, lots of room, & close to the beach"
Dennis - thanks for the review and we are glad you enjoyed the house. Great suggestion on the guide for TV remote/channels. We hope you will be back sometime.
"This is a really nice, tidy and well cared for home. You can tell the owners are making changes/additions. The pet area is great, easy to keep clean. Same with the outdoor shower area - wonderful. The pool and surrounding area is amazing. The cabana is a nice addition and I'm sure it will be even better once completed. By far the best we've stayed at in 15 years on the OBX"
Patricia - thanks for the great review, we are glad you enjoyed the house and property. We'll definitely check on the AC issue, we have not heard of that issue before. We love our house at the beach and invest in improvements every year, we'll conside the fencing in the future, also a new suggestion so thanks. We hope you will be back.
"We just stayed at the Carolina Cottage for the first time. We absolutely loved the house. It was close to the beach, we loved the pool and new outdoor bar area and the house was clean and up to date."
"We love the view of the ocean, the closeness to the beach, the pool and the layout of the house. We also love the outdoor kitchen that is being built."
"This is the third year we have rented Carolina Cottage and we just love it! A new outside bar area is being constructed, so next year we'll get to enjoy that as well!"
Shelly - thank you so much for being a repeat guest and providing helpful feedback. We have thought about the extra gate too for our dogs so I will put that on this year's off season to do list. Kris

Sandra - thanks for the review, we have worked hard each year to improve some space in or out of the house, glad you were impressed. Hope you will come back, next is the outdoor kitchen/bar that's under construction.
"Carolina Cottage was perfect. We loved every minute of it. It has everything we needed. My older dogs did struggle with the steps being not carpeted but that is on us. we helped them up and down. I am actually sending the link to a colleague she just asked as well as other colleagues here in Annapolis. MD We will be back :)"
"We fell in love with the Carolina Cottage. This is a well-maintained home and it is our goal to visit again next year. The owner has thought of everything to make their guests comfortable. Just a few minutes walk to the beach which is very important to us! Thank you to the owners of the beach house and to Twiddy for making our week stay a very memorable one."

Thank you for the positive review for our home, Carolina Cottage. Hope you will visit again.
"We enjoyed our stay at Carolina Cottage! It is beautifully decorated and updated. Feels like a brand new home! Beds are extremely comfortable and clean. The kitchen is well stocked. This pet friendly home is so clean. We LOVED the pool area and hot tub that was under a deck. Ocean views from the top deck were a wonderful treat. Ocean Hill is a quiet location to spend a beach vacation. We look forward to returning to Carolina Cottage. Thank you for sharing your home and all the hard work you do in maintaining this lovely home."
Theresa: thank you so much for this review, we are so glad you enjoyed your stay and we hope you will return!
"We had a great time in this home. The only problem we encountered was my son-in-law and daughter had to do a few work things on their laptops and were not able to do so with the wifi in the house. They had to use their hotspots to complete their work."
Shelly: we are so glad you enjoyed the house, we love it. Sorry to hear about the wifi issue, we recently had Spectrum upgrade our router and modem and we all work from the beach often so not sure what the issue was. Were you able to sign in or not even access the wifi? We have had trouble when multiple people are trying to simultaneously use video conferencing, we may need to get a second router/modem if this continues. Thanks again for letting us know. We are also planning to add some type of
"Great house! Tastefully decorated and comfortable. Outside areas were great and immaculately clean. Very well stocked kitchen. House could be cleaner; some painting inside would be useful; bathrooms could use updating. Short walk to the beach and short bike ride to Corolla Light and Lighthouse area. Would stay in this house again."
Margaret: thanks for the review and glad you enjoyed the house. We update at least one major project a year, we'll add the bathrooms to the future, we are doing new HVACS this fall and some outdoor, covered area in early 2022. Would love to know more about it being cleaner, not sure if this is a reflection on Twiddy or if you just think it needs a paint job. Again, appreciate the feedback and hope you will consider renting with us again.
"Very nice house and location. The decks and railings could use updating."
"Loved this house. Stayed Sep 2020. Nicely decorated. Outside dog area for our two dogs to relax. Everything worked well. Pool was great. Three flights of stairs, which kept us in shape. Very near beach, and the beach was nice. Walked to 4x4 area. Short drive to stores and eating establishments. Nice drive to Duck. My family had a great time. Thank you."
Jeannette: thank you for the wonderful review, and we are so glad you enjoyed the house. We love it too!
"Location is great. Great value. Only negative was some electrical issues and dishwasher malfunctioned and was not fixed before the end of our stay."
Brent: we are so glad you enjoyed the house, sorry about the dishwasher, Twiddy is usually much more responsive, this was a difficult summer for them to keep up with demand. I assume you got the refund we approved.
"The pool and surrounding outside area is beautiful! Very short walk to the beach!"
Shannon: we are so glad you enjoyed the house, the location is ideal and we have enjoyed improving the outdoor area with the pool and deck. More to come with a covered bar area next year. Thanks for the review.
