This home is in a really great location (near restaurants, shopping), with a spectacular view of the ocean. We understand that rentals at the beach are tough to maintain, however, the home itself is in desperate need of some love. The furniture is really filthy and the carpeting is just gross. The house needs to be painted and there is evidence of window leaks in several locations. Critters are working their way in by the door to the upper deck from the great room too. What a shame for such an expensive place. We were very disappointed with the house (except the kitchen), but very happy with the quick help that you all (Twiddy) gave us to fix the leaking dishwasher, replace the stove hood lights and provide hot pads for the ovens. You all are great with the customer service, but you should consider demanding better home maintenance from the owners you represent. Starter dish soap, better towels and sheets that are not torn would be nice too! - Mary 10/5/2019

From the pictures, it looks like the view to the ocean might be blocked by numerous shrubbery. Can you see the sand and ocean from the deck?
Aimee, from the level 3 deck you will be able to see the ocean (please see photos 2-6 in the home photo slide show). The beaches are rather wide in this area so depending on the tide there may be times of the day you will be able to see the beach from the level 3 deck as well.

What items are available for the beach? Any beach chairs? Umbrella? Beach wagon? Is there a table and umbrella by the pool?
Great question, Leslie! Beach chairs are an advertised amenity and there will be at least 5 waiting for you at the home. Equipment such as umbrellas and wagons are considered specialty items and not advertised amenities. As a result we do not require owners to provide them nor do we take inventory of what may be in the home upon arrival. We recommend some local resources in our area who rent daily as well as weekly should you choose not to bring those items with you. Please give our office a call if you would like their contact information. Corollabunga does come with outdoor seating and furniture, but a table is not located in the pool area.

Beach Warning Flags
During dangerous surf conditions, red "No Swimming" flags fly at beach entrances. Whenever red flags are flying, swimming is prohibited. At such times, ocean conditions have been determined to be unsafe and swimmers are at serious risk of injury or death if they enter the water. For your safety, please heed all red flag warnings.
Ocean Safety
Rip Currents
Rip currents are fast-moving currents of water that can quickly pull even the strongest swimmers away from the shore. Since the current flows under water, it’s important to know the signs of a rip current and avoid the water in that area.
According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), indicators of rip currents include:
Be sure to read lifeguard stand signs when arriving at the beach. If you see warning signs of rip currents or moderate or high hazard flags, stay out of the water and alert others to do the same. If caught in a rip current, you should stay calm to conserve energy. Don’t try to fight the current. Instead, swim with the current, and swim toward shore once you’re out of the current.
General Beach Safety
The fun begins where the road ends on this unique stretch of Outer Banks shoreline just south of the Virginia border. A four-wheel drive vehicle and an adventurous spirit are required to explore this beach community, where there are no paved roads, no hotels or restaurants, not even a convenience store! What you’ll find is an uncomplicated, fourteen-mile expanse of wide, sandy beaches, dense maritime forests and marshy soundside coves.
Home to the Corolla wild horses, the possibility of catching a glimpse of these extraordinary creatures is practically commonplace. Keep in mind, they are wild - do not approach them. County ordinance states that you may not come within 50 feet of the horses at any time. Feeding, riding or petting a wild horse is prohibited. A wild horse sighting is always an exciting event, but please remember to use caution and keep your distance.
There are no fixed lifeguard stands on the 4x4 beaches. Three roving lifeguards patrol from the end of the road to the Virginia state line from 9:30 am to 5:30 pm from Memorial Day through Labor Day.
Corolla’s pristine beaches are wide with soft sand. Upon crossing the beach access over the dune line to the beach, you will find that the beach is relatively flat, which is ideal terrain for afternoon strolls.
