We never had to use the free Trolly service because we were close to it all. We usually bring bikes when we go away, but when I saw how close we were going to be using Google maps, we left the bikes home. The lighthouse was about a 15 minute walk and that might have been the only time I wished I had my bike. Not to worry, bike rentals are close by! Check in was at 4pm. We were able to stock up on food. About 3 miles from the house there is a Food Lion with anything and everything you could think of. (I was not walking there hahaha) When we arrived, the cleaning people were still there. They were nice and let us come in to start putting our groceries away. I think they could have done alittle better cleaning. There was alot of black mold on the floor of the shower that had just been renovated in 2018. How hard could it be to keep something only a year old still looking like new?! So another trip to Food Lion to get some mold and mildew remover and viola, clean and looking new again. You're welcome! My husband noticed some mold on the spare pillows in the closet, and my mother noticed the same thing on the pillows downstairs. I'm not one to pack extra pillows, nor do I like to waste time calling the realty office to put in complains and wait for someone to come scrub the shower or replace pillows. I treated this house like it was my own, cleaned what needed to be cleaned and since we didn't need the pillows, I let it go and reported it upon discharge. To the next family, I hope you got new pillows or brought your own. Again, you're welcome. The community has 3 pools, one is heated, and they also have a baby pool, perfect for the little ones. Downside, it closes at 7pm. It's summer and I had 3 teenagers with me. Push it to 8 please. The oceanfront grill has limited seating for dinner and closes around 9pm. I also noticed there were some events we missed because they were not on our calendar. So when you visit make sure you read everything posted by the pool in the resort, don't just look at your calendar in the welcome package. This was our first time in OBX and we absolutely loved it! It was a long drive from NY to NC so I'm not sure if we will drive there again.

Stayed here for 1 night and it was a good experience, I think it's best to stay for 1 or 2 nights…read more We were waiting for our house to get ready. It was not the biggest and newest but it was an ok place to stay for a night. The breakfast was good and had a lot of choices. I think if you stay here for more than 3 nights it's not the best, but if you are waiting for your house this is a good place for a night or two. The pool was calming and had a beautiful view but the water was cold, we did get to use the corolla light amenities when we were at the inn. I think this place is a place to explore corolla and not just be in your room. Overall it was a good time, everywhere was pretty close. Best for 2 to 3 people and good for couple.

Corolla Light has a bunch of houses and condos on the ocean side of Route 12 but most(if not all) the rental houses on the Sound side have an affiliation with the Corolla Light as well. They have a small shuttle bus that picks up people on the Sound side of Route 12 so you do not need to drive to the location. There is a small parking lot for about 20 cars in front of the basketball courts but it gets filled quickly, so walking, biking, or using the shuttle is usually the way to get there from your rental property. There is no fitness center at the Corolla Light location with the pools, it is called the Richard Brindley Sportscenter located about 1 mile south on Route 12. (Located next to the Grass Course Mini-golf - the sportscenter does not show up on Google maps) It has an indoor 25 meter pool, 2 indoor tennis courts, racquet ball court, volleyball court, cardio room with several treadmills, elliptical machines, bikes, and one stepper. Also a fitness rooms with dumbells up to 60 lbs. and several machines including a vertical Smith machine. They have 2 large pools one that is 3.5 - 5 feet deep and one that is deeper. Plenty of space. There is a restaurant located at the pools to eat at as well as order poolside. There are 4 full basketball courts with different size balls (27.5" to regular size) provided. Not great quality but good enough to mess around. There is also a little kids play area (no swings), beach volleyball court, and 2 shuffle board courts. They also have a walkway for beach access with a nearby lifeguard station and you can rent surf boards on the beach. We were there in just now July, so despite the 90-100 degree temperature, the water temp max'd out at only 60 degrees so wet suits are necessary. The waves were 0.5 - 1.5 feet so surfing was possible but not great. Near the entrance to the property, they have rental area (bikes, surfboads, boogie boards, and wet suits, but no fishing gear (see my review on Corolla Bait and Tackle) as well as several restaurants, one Mexican and one BBQ but I did not eat there so not sure how they are. They also have 2 ponds near the entrance to the property that are probably stocked because it was very easy to catch fish there. Sunfish, bluegill. Overall, a lot of good amenities if you are staying in an associated property. Just remember your wristband.

Our experience with Twiddy Vacation Rentals in the OBX was beyond disappointing. What was…read moreadvertised as a premium beach house felt more like the Motel 6 of vacation rental companies. The listing was inaccurate, and several amenities that were clearly advertised were either broken or not available at all. Some bathrooms didn't even have basic supplies like toilet paper. One shower had such low water pressure it was completely unusable. The dishwasher was broken for the entire week, which meant hand-washing dishes for 14 guests, three meals a day, for seven days. That is not what anyone signs up for on vacation. The house itself was not properly cleaned. There were cobwebs on multiple surfaces, visible rust throughout, and an overall neglected feel. For the price we paid, the condition of the property was unacceptable. Customer service was effectively nonexistent. We reported the issues, and nothing meaningful was done to resolve them during our stay. There was no urgency, no accountability, and no effort to make things right. Also worth noting: reviews appear to be filtered, showing only glowing feedback. Based on our experience, you are not getting the full picture when you read the listings. For the amount of money these homes command, expectations should be much higher. We would strongly recommend considering another rental company. You've been warned. Terrible consistent reviews on TrustPilot, Yelp and many other pages. The feeling is clearly unanimous and Twiddy clearly does not care.

I'm naming the property because I wish I had found the reviews on independent sites before we booked. The home had significant cleanliness and maintenance issues upon arrival, including an ant infestation, dirty/stained furnishings, severely rusted outdoor furniture, and a pool area continually covered with pine needles and debris. The advertised tiki bar and second-floor patio area were effectively unusable for our entire stay because of the condition of the furniture and bug infestation. To Brindley Beach's credit, after repeated complaints they eventually sent management, housekeeping, pest control, upholstery cleaning, and other personnel to the house. However, most of this did not happen until the fifth day of our seven-day vacation. Their own housekeeping representative identified additional cleanliness problems beyond those we had reported, and the rusted tiki stools were ultimately removed but never replaced. After our vacation, we requested a reasonable partial refund--not a full refund. Brindley Beach refused, stating that the home remained "habitable" and citing its rental agreement. They did offer to reimburse us for pest-control and other supplies we had to purchase ourselves. What is especially frustrating is that Sounds Amazing appears to have overwhelmingly positive reviews on Brindley Beach's website. After our experience, I searched independent platforms and found significantly more critical reviews of both this property and Brindley Beach that I wish I had seen before booking. My advice: research the specific property on independent review sites before booking through Brindley Beach and don't rely solely on the reviews displayed on their website. Our vacation rental was absolutely not the experience we expected based on how this property was represented. Brindley Beach is a never again for us. We had to make a nuisance of ourselves to get their attention to come fix their poorly maintained property. I feel bad for the owner who is probably paying them good money to take care of his property.

We had waited around for the plumber, the appliance man, the maintenance man and the septic man. As soon as we arrived we saw the house was not clean to our standards and several of the shower curtains were moldy. The down stairs smells extremely musty and the bathroom walls have painted over mold. So we spend Saturday evening cleaning. There were two dishwashers the first one said out of order so we loaded the second one, that too was out of order. The maintenance man arrived Monday morning couldn't fix it so we waited on the appliance guy. He was able to fix it on Tuesday. On Monday morning our downstairs sinks and bath tubs started bubbling every time someone would flush. The septic was backing up. After the maintenance man came and dug up our back yard he told up the septic was full he was going to leave the lid off until the septic company could come out to pump it. He showed up on Wednesday. So we couldn't use the backyard until late Wednesday. The house is not maintained well at all. If I were the owners of this home I would switch rental companies because you guys dropped the ball. We have always used another rental agency on the island but we really liked this house so we decided to try your agency. We will continue to use our previous agency after this experience. I have attached several pictures of the property.

After that (unless stated otherwise in the home description and unit-specific terms), if you cancel 30 or more days before the first night of your reservation, you'll receive a refund of any rental payments you've made, minus the booking fee." We reserved a beach house in June 2022 for the next year June 2023. My first payment was $4226 and another payment due in 2023. I cancelled that reservation 6 weeks later. They charged me 10% of my total bill $803. That's some "booking fee" for them considering the house was only off the market 6 weeks one year in advance.

Loved having the pool and hot tub in the back yard with the privacy fence. We did have trouble getting the showers to work as we had never encountered this type before but we called and the owner called us back and walked us through it. We felt super silly but glad to have some help. The house is only a 5 or so minute walk to the beach which was great! They also provide some beach chairs and sand toys to take to the beach and bring back. We did bring our own pool floats though. The only think is I wish the pool were bigger.

Floors still had sand on them on our first night. We had to mop and clean before we could stay in the downstairs area. It stunk. The air filter in the downstair area had not been change in at least a year. It was so filthy that my daughter and I both suffered allergy attacks from breathing the dust and pollen from that dirty filter. I called the company and they did not send anyone out to change the filters. I had to go to Ace Hardware and by a replacement filter because we could not sleep there all week with the one they had in there. The blind on my mother and sister room was missing. We called and they never came to replace it. The kitchen was too small and inadequate for more than 5 people to stay in. The beds are too old and need to be replaced. The washing machine and dryer work but they at so loud you can hear them all over the house. The only good thing was the pool service person. They did their job. We paid a lot of money to stay here but will never make that mistake again. If the people that own this house are paying someone to maintain it and keep it up they are getting ripped off. If the people who own this house are the ones doing the maintenance they should be ashamed of renting this to anyone. It is awful and I will never stay here again.
