Excellent family reunion site

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.

Outstanding stay

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.

Excellent House and Amenities on Whalehead Beach

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.

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!

Very Nice Stay

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.

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.

Awesome beach house with a beautiful views

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.

Wonderful house!

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.

Best value

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!

Perfect spot for a group getaway!

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!

Good location

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.

Great location!

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!

NYE in the OBX

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.

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!

Family fun

We had a great time. Lots of space. Views are amazing. Bedrooms comfortable. Hot tub and pool terrific. Stingy w bath towels—I recommend bringing extra. And no beach towels provided at all. Neither the floors nor the pool were tots clean when we got there, but it is the beach, so.... we’d come again.

House is Awesome!

The pictures accurately reflect the house except for one thing; the beach is much closer than it appears! The house was clean, the kitchen is well stocked. And though the listing says there aren’t any beach or pool items provided, the first floor closet is full of boards, floaters, sand toys, and chairs. There are also now 2 infant flotation devices. Would definitely stay here again.

Sunrise through to Sunset -- the perfect house.

Fantastic house. The different age groups were able to gather in the evening in different spots for movies, games, puzzles. Open floor plan up top meant meal prep didn't cut you out of the loop. The access to the beach can't be beat. Being in the middle of the block = so much space to play! Rainy days spent with foosball and pool table in basement were easygoing sun recuperation days. We had a blast.

Perfect for our Family

The location and house was perfect for our family. We had such a great time. I had thought we would use the game room however being that close to the ocean, we spent our time exploring the beach, city and enjoyed meals together in dining area. The space was great when we needed to spread out and have down time. Lots of beach items to use. Beautiful and perfect location in the middle of the public access to beaches so it was not over crowded. Watching the sunrise from bed was amazing. Prior to arrival, the hosts were extremely fast at responding to our questions.

Great Family Vacation in Corolla NC

We truly enjoyed our stay at this property. The house was spacious with enough room for us to have our own quiet space and also offered many areas for us to gather as a family. House is right on the beach - views are amazing - saw dolphins every day! All of us spent countless hours enjoying the beach, walking, biking, reading or splashing in the waves. Pool and hot tub were enjoyed by all aa well as the pool table and foosball table on the bottom floor. As many other reviewers have stated this house is not the biggest or the shiniest house on the beach but it was clean and well maintained and had everything we needed to make our vacation a great week for everyone.
