Emotional Rescue was the perfect home for our family vacation of 6 adults and 2 babies. After lots of research and spreadsheets, we ultimately chose this home for several reasons. First, we loved the location. The home is just north of the shops and restaurants, but it was pretty easy to walk to (@ .7 miles each way). It was also an easy walk or super short drive to the public beach (.8 miles walking) - and it was easy to walk to with the beach cart they provided! Additionally, you will find yourself extremely close to the Corolla Beer Garden (became our favorite spot) and to the public park on the water with trails and beautiful spots for photos. You're around the corner from the historic village with a coffee shop, smoothie/juice bar and historic lighthouse.
Aside from location, it was a great space. The home is huge and spread out so we were able to have private spaces to work in the morning and socialize at night. The kitchen is big and well-equipped; although I wish we knew all of the amenities that were included ahead of time (like a blender, some spices, etc.). We ended up bringing everything just to be safe! The patio out front was so nice later in the day and we loved hanging on the porch swings and having drinks - and my nephew loved the daily horse visitors! The back deck is beautiful too with views overlooking a pond. It was hot and didn't provide much shade but we would grill frequently and wait to eat closer to sunset. The one thing to note about the space is that the gorgeous master bedroom shares a bathroom with the room on the other side. It was a bit difficult with privacy as we shared with my brother and sister-in-law. But I will say, the walk-in closet and shower were AMAZING! Just something to keep in mind when choosing rooms.
We appreciated that we were provided with different beach items; the wagon and chairs were key and made our beach trips easier. Overall, we do recommend this home and feel it's perfect for a large family or some couples. You will love the serenity, location, and comforts of the house!
