"The Summer House was our favorite Whalehead beachfront rental to date and had everything we could possibly need for an incredible family vacation. We loved the layout of the upstairs, the comfortable beds, the large renovated kitchen and the TV by the pool/hot tub for football Sundays! It made relaxing and spending time with our family (with amazing views) the highlight of the vacation. The owners have gone above and beyond to make sure that this house has everything you could possibly need and more. We can't wait to come back again soon!"
"This spacious home was absolutely perfect for our extended family getaway! With plenty of room to comfortably accommodate all 16 of us, babies included, we never felt cramped. The layout is thoughtfully designed, offering both large gathering spaces and private areas for downtime"
"Beautiful, updated, well-appointed home. We appreciated the large pool, outdoor soundbar, gazebo, ice machine, and large kitchen with double appliances. Nice lighting throughout home. Can’t go wrong with The Summer House!"
"Beautiful home with everything you need. Love the spacious bedrooms, large pool, sunroom and theater room. House was clean and kitchen stocked. Ice makers are a wonderful update"
Thank you so much, Jen! <3. We are so happy that you and your friends had a wonderful week!!
"All the new updates were great. The home is very well-equiped and the kitchen is perfect for a large family gathering."
"pool, location, kitchen"
"The number of king beds in addition to the bunks rooms accommodated the adults and the kids. Great house for multi families."
"Location, layout, view, amenities, owners"
"We loved the new spacious kitchen and the new master bedrooms and bathrooms. The large seating area worked well for our large family. The gazebo was very popular too."
"Love the new renovations, the large pool and beach access and the number of master bedrooms."
"Having the game room off the kitchen is perfect! It keeps all the people together and allows the folks prepping in the kitchen to still be part of the fun. The pool is amazing - bigger than most pools compared to other houses we have stayed at in Corolla. Pool deck is great too. Love the big deck with all the outside seating."
"The house floorplan had several great areas to hang out and there was ample space for multiple families or a very large family. We loved the outdoor spaces and the recent upgrades to the pool deck were fantastic. Proximity to beach and to shopping areas are so important for groups with several children--we had a wonderful time!"
"Our group had been waiting four LONG years to make our way back to the Outer Banks and this house did NOT disappoint. We made our house a home for the entire week. The most commonly used areas were the pool, the terrace (where we could have movie nights), and the gazebo on our way to the beach. I stayed in one of the northwest bedrooms on the second level and it was a comfortable place to sleep. Having our own bathrooms for the week was really great as well! Our only complaints were the ovens and the range - which need upgrades - one of the bottom cabinets having a loose door, and the inside handle of the breakfast nook fell off. Those were the only negatives in an otherwise fantastic house."
"The Summer House was fabulous. There was more than enough room for our entire group. We took advantage of the two refrigerators, two dishwashers, and the two washers and dryers. The “big boys” had fun playing their video games in the media room. Everyone had their own bathroom! The kids enjoyed the pool. We paid the extra fee to have the heater turned on—well worth it. The house was ready on time. Everything was very clean. The towels in each bedroom were wrapped to ensure cleanliness."
"The kitchen and living area are great and the bedrooms are nice and spacious. Pool and outdoor patio area is really nice."
Thank you for the review, Trent! So happy you and your loved ones enjoyed the house and the new outdoor space!
"This is relaxation at its finest. The view of the beach from the house, the gunite pool, the gazebo at the top of the dune. It was all truly amazing. The location of the home is a short bike ride from the shops, restaurants, supermarkets, which puts it in a favorable location. The home itself needs some fine-tuning and more attention to detail to be competitive at this price-point (lack of cleanliness mainly externally (cobwebs, grit, missing shingles, rusting nails on rails), internally: low quality linens, lack of an external audio system, small fixes (toilets, doors, showers, etc.) that we had to call about in the early days of the stay that should have been checked ahead of check-in, etc.)."
"It’s a beautiful house with expansive rooms & amazing views. We stood at this home in 2008 and it’s been blown out & upgraded as far as kitchen & bedrooms on the south side. Though it’s been many years, I felt there’s been a lack in upkeep. We fell in love with the 2 fox that live in the dune as they soaked up the sun & came for occasional visits. We gave them fresh water next to the gazebo and they kept a safe distance. Twiddy was amazingly responsive to all inquiries during our stay. Everyone I spoke to was a pleasure, down to earth & very sweet. We had a wonderful family vacation with beautiful memories! The swag bag was sweet as we did not have anything like that last stay. Kelly & Paul great wine choices!! Thank you!"
"We had a great time sharing this house. One suggestion is a rail at the pool steps. Loved having the game room near the kitchen."
"This was an amazing home. We had such a good time. Location is great. Very pleased with our stay"
