Working with the property manager was wonderful. They were quick to respond to my questions and special needs.The property lies between two public access beach spots so we had plenty of beach to ourselves with our private walkway. Wonderful. We will come here again
This property had everything we were looking for & did not disappoint. Enough bedrooms and bathrooms for all family units to have their own space, a table big enough to seat all of us for meals, comfortable common areas for lounging, multiple decks with fabulous views, a pool, & a beautiful private beach. The entire family was unanimous in wanting to stay here again.
This was the best beach trip my family has ever gone on! The house was amazing. The location is amazing. The pool and hot tub were so nice. Everything was so clean. Already wanting to book for next year!
Property was as advertised. Location is great and in quiet neighborhood. Beach is awesome. House is a bit dated, and the beds are too soft. Overall, a nice place for our family.
The house was large and had accommodations and bathrooms for hosting a good sized party. We went in the off season and were grateful to have early check in and the hot tub up and running per our request. Easy check in and good communication throughout the process. Would recommend to those wanting to stay on the Outer Banks.
We had a great time with our two families. The house is beautifully equipped right on the ocean. Plenty of things to do, the pool and hot tub were great and the beach was superb. Thank you so much.
We had a delightful extended family gathering in this home over Thanksgiving week, with 15 of us comfortably fitting in this home. Great location on a gorgeous stretch of OBX beach. Fun hot tub. A minor detraction was that the house was not particularly well supplied with certain kitchen items (forks, food containers, bowls). Would happily return though.
Everything you could need in the perfect location!
We kept watching all the people staying in the houses across the street lugging all their beach gear down the street everyday to the periodic beach access points and were so glad we had our own private access to the beach! Also, our part of the beach was less crowded the areas by the public access points which was nice. The pool and the hot tub were also nice to use when a break from the ocean was needed. Although the house was a little outdated on the inside, we didn’t spend too much time inside! Even if we had to there was plenty of space for everyone to spread out!
Leslie and Cora were so pleasant to work with. Super informative and communicative. The booking process was seamless and easy. Check in could not have been any simpler. The house is in a fantastic location. It is spacious and just as described in the listing. We had a perfect time ringing in 2025 at The Caped Coral. My one minor complaint is that a lot of the dishes weren’t clean. But we’ve stayed at many houses in OBX and Topsail over multiple decades and it wasn’t the worst we’ve encountered. Overall, if you need a 7 BR house on the beach that legitimately sleeps 16 (no one has to draw the short straw and sleep on a pullout sofa) talk to Leslie and Cora and ask for The Caped Coral.
Beautiful beach-not as crowded as it is near public access. Lots of shells and fun chasing crabs at night. Great pool! Bathroom to bedroom ratio was awesome. Our concerns were for the price, kitchen & bathrooms should be well cleaned. Bathrooms dusty with hair & purple bathroom long black hair found in shower & on wall beside toilet/constant shower dripping. Kitchen drawers with utensils not clean and small black ants crawling on kitchen counter. Older property with small repairs that need done-basement bedroom door broken/no door knob, screen on 2nd floor off track(sitting beside door), ice maker did not dispense, sink sprayer sticking w/faucet base loose, 3rd floor rear bedroom shower did not drain, loose handrail 3rd floor deck w/ loose floorboards, raised nails on beach access deck. Overall sunny fun days at beach w/ family & great food at local restaurants.
We had a magical week! The photos in the listing are accurate with one exception: as previous reviewers noted, the property is closer to the beach than it looks, which was a bonus! We had two 75 year-olds who had no problem getting up and down the steps to the beach. Our beach area felt very private. The pool was clean and a perfect temperature. We had five young children ages 3-8 swimming in the pool + sometimes adults and there was plenty of room.
The house itself felt very secure and safe. It is a bit weathered, as the photos show, and is decorated like a typical beach house (just the basics - not luxurious like some of the neighboring properties). This was fine for our group with so many little kids tracking sand in and out. The A/C worked great, with thermostats to adjust the temp by floor. When we arrived there was no vacuum or hangers. We told the management company, who promptly dropped some off the next day.
My only criticisms of the property are 1) the beds were uncomfortable and VERY loud and 2) we were responsible for purchasing EVERYthing we needed during our stay. There is no hand soap, dish soap, laundry detergent or cleaning products of any kind. We purchased Swiffer Sweeper Wet Pads and 409 spray for our stay. There are only a few wine glasses and no cocktail glasses.
Overall, we had a very pleasant stay. The ocean views are breathtaking and the location can't be beat!
Terrific location with private beach. Very quiet the week we were there as things just opening for the season. Listing was accurate and great to sit on deck and listen to the waves crashing.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this wonderful house! It was very comfortable and perfect for our needs. Loved the view from the house and the dune deck. We were impressed by the responsiveness of the rental company when we reported a couple of minor issues.
This home met all our needs and more. The view from the top floor was gorgeous and everything in the home was in great condition. We traveled with 8 kids aged nine and under and they had a blast. Easy walk to the beach, pool in great condition and the game room was a big hit. Would love to stay here again!
We loved this house! The space was exactly what we needed and having the pool / hot tub were great amenities for our group. Loved having 2 washer/dryer with a big group plus a baby. Our favorite thing about this rental was hands down the beach. Quiet, wide open, and not crowded at all! Felt almost private 😊 hope to come back again!
The property is a little worn, but clean. The location, beach, pool, and hotub are great and the kids had fun with pool, bumper pool, and foosball the day it rained. The property is between two public access points, so the beach is less crowded than at other locations. It is a good property to go to if you have kids and/or pets.

Great home with fantastic beach
Very comfortable and can't beat the location. The house needs some work but just cosmetics. This was the second time for us at this property - we also stayed there last summer. Great for large family vacation. Just know that there are a lot of steps so if anyone has bad knees or ambulatory issues, this wouldn't be a good choice.
This house is in a great location! We basically had our own private beach! The kids had a great time! Very kid friendly with an added bonus of a highchair for my daughter. ( I forgot her booster seat for the chair so we were very happy to see the highchair!)
Thank you again! Looking forward to staying again!
We booked a last minute stay and could not be happier with our visit. The house was perfect for our group. The house was ready about 2 hours early but were still about 90 minutes away. Pros: oceanfront, fully stocked kitchen, pool and hot tub were ready to go and serviced mid-week, lots of beach chairs and gear (which the ad did not list), plenty of space for a big group.Cons: VRBO charged an extra fee that I was not made aware of upfront; no garbage disposal, cold water knob in one shower didn't function but we just used a different shower, extra propane tank was non-usable but we ended up not needing it.I would book this house for the same week next year right now if we could get the same rate.

Fantastic time!
Close to everything! Great restaurants, shops activities. The home was perfect for our family of 9 adults and a 1 year old. We had plenty of room to spread out. Clean and comfortable. Don’t worry about dragging your beach chairs, their were plenty in the 1st floor closet. We will definitely recommend the Cape Coral to others and hope to be back soon!
The house was amazing and perfect location. Beach in front was all ours as it is situated in the middle between public access and no one came down this far either way. The beds were comfortable and room for all of us to be together and have private space. Kitchen was well equipped. Don’t worry about renting beach chairs or beach toys as there are plenty on site. We had brought beach gear and never unpacked ours as it had everything we could need for 6 adults and 3 kids ages 10-14. The game room on main floor was great for hanging out at night together. This is within walking distance to restaurants and shopping. Short drive to the 4X4 beach to look for wild horses, of which we saw many! We enjoyed the balcony’s, hot tub and pool at night. Great family location will definitely be back. Thank you for such a lovely place to stay!
