Incredible stay. Close to the beach, heated pool starting April 1, across from the Currituck lighthouse and huge park next to the sound to watch the sunset. Too many great things to list! Our dog loved the fenced in dog run (although he could smell the cats that tried to take over when no dogs were in sight haha). The salty rim delivered tacos to the house. Overall wonderful experience!

Great Corolla Beach stay!

Loved our stay at this beautifully decorated and perfectly located 2 bed/2bath. It’s a three minute walk to Corolla beach which is pet friendly! The pool was nice for late afternoon dips and everyone enjoyed everything Corolla had to offer.

Great Spot and Great Host

Super easy check in and check out. The host was great to work with. It's walking distance to the lighthouse, waterfowl museum, Whalehead Club, restaurants, and of course the beach. Just a short drive to the 4x4 beach access and wild horses too. Great for a family getaway, duck hunters or surf fishing.

I cannot say enough about this beach house. Communication was excellent, amenities were top notch, super clean, and charming. We spent our days walking to the beach, the pool, the nearby shops, and quick trips to town for food. Scott has made this the perfect getaway!

We enjoyed our stay at Admiral Abode. The location was great, easy walk to the beach, park, and shops. The place was very nice and spacious and my family enjoyed the big beds in both bedrooms. The living room and kitchen was spacious amd had everything we needed. I liked they had several beach chairs that were in good condition and if you have little kids they everything you could ask for a day at the beach. Due to it being off season we didnt get to use any of the community amenities because they hadn't opened yet but the pool and pickle ball looked nice and having the salty rim food/drink place right there would have been nice. We would definitely stay there again! The host was great and answered any questions I had promptly.

Great for Small Family

Great house for a small family - we brought a baby and toddler and enjoyed having both beach and pool in walking distance (as well as food and brand new playground). The lifeguard stand is right next to this beach entrance which helps with kids. Beach wagon, pack and play, and kids cups/plates already there.

Best family vacation!

Everything about this location and property was awesome. Very clean. Super easy to check in and out. Scott was incredibly responsive. It was right next to a center with food, shopping and activities (putt putt and arcade). It was a short walk to the beach. We brought our dog and there was even a dog run/park. We are already looking at when we can rebook!

Fantastic!

This property was every bit as beautiful as the photos and descriptions. Seemingly brand new, with very nice furniture and furnishings, a fully-stocked kitchen, washer/dryer, and very convenient access to the beach! We didn't use the pool, but it was very nice also (with private cabanas featuring music, TVs, fans, and fridges). The property owner (Scott) was very responsive to messages and even extended our checkout by a couple of hours. We will definitely plan to stay here again!

Clean and modern, just a few steps from the beach

We loved our stay at this property. The apartment was modern and very clean. The kitchen had sufficient dishes and utensils to do real cooking. The neighborhood is cute with nice landscaping. The pool area looked very nice, even though we did not get to enjoy it in November. And we were steps from the beach and from the cute village of Corolla. The only thing we missed was having a spare blanket as the bed comforter is very thin and it got chilly at night. We will be back for sure.

Perfect spot for a small family

Perfect space for a small family vacation. There was construction nearby, but we didn't hear a sound and it was never in the way. Scott sent great information and everything was easy to find and access. Pictures were perfectly represented. Kitchen was fully stocked, beds were comfortable, and it was clean. The beach was very close and less than a 5 minute walk. I loved that the beach access was right next to the life guard station so I felt safer with the kids in the water. A grocery store and restaurants were within a 5-10 minute drive. All around a great place to vacation!
