The house was amazing, plenty of space for our family. Really enjoyed the wrap around decks which we spent a lot of time on. The kids loved the pool and were in it every chance they got. Short distance to the beach, the pathway just across the street was a nice perk, although a couple times we went all the way around just for extra exercise. Only bummer was the condition the house was in the first day. We had to clean a lot. Dishes were left behind/dishwasher full of dishes/bathroom sinks with hair/toothpaste left in it. The entire interior stairs were covered in hair/dirt. Glad there was a vacuum and broom in closets we had access to.
Nice house but a few things to improve

The kitchen was lacking in quite a few cooking items such as a frying pan, working toaster and cookie sheets. The carpets need to be replaced and there was a problem with caterpillars in the basement. Also ants in the kitchen. No working lights around the pool or gazebo. When we called to report items to be fixed it seemed to take a long time for them to resolved the issue. For example the exterminator called me on Sunday that he was there and we checked out on Saturday. For the most part a beautiful home but just a few things to fix.

My family and I have been traveling to the Outerbanks for many years now, but this was our first time staying at the Whistling Oyster. The space overall did not disappoint! The location was absolutely amazing, the walk to the beach was short, the house was very clean and organized. Renting it was an absolute breeze!

However, some small inconveniences to point out - in one of the mid-level masters, the overhead fan/light was broken, causing it to get pretty hot in the room with no air flow. Also, the only working tv was in the basement common room, all others would not work, which would have been nice at nighttime for all the younger children to wind down. Lastly, the kitchen is not stocked well enough with cooking supplies to cook a big meal, for a big family, who is likely staying there.

Just figured those things should be brought to the attention of the owners in case they had no idea! & these minor inconveniences will not stop us from booking there again, we overall still loved it!

Thanks for offering such a great vacation!

We love this house. We stayed here at some time last year. This year we did notice the inside a little more worn down. Carpet steps and family room. We also could not not set air below 70 top floor. It was extremely hot in this area where we cooked our dinners and gathered in the evening. Would love to rent next year but are undecided.

This was the third or fourth time we had rented the
Whistling Oyster house. It had been up graded since the last time we rented it and they did a great job with the up grade. The only problem my wife and I had was because of our age (80 and 81) it was quite difficult to get down to the pool and also go to the beach and get back up the steps to the third floor. This was our family celebration of my wife and myself 80 and 81 birthdays. We really enjoy the house and the location. With the extra bedrooms now is was great for our family as there was 9 of us in the house

Excellent. Well equipped and tastefully appointed house. Perfect for a large family vacation. Proximity to the beach was great, and very important. Offers more privacy than most other properties, yet conveniently located. Rental agency (Kitty Hawk) was very responsive to requests and inquiries. We will be returning to Corolla, and hopefully to the Whistling Oyster.

Nice place with lots of room for dining. Pool was really nice with built in seats along the inside of the pool. The walk to the beach was shorter than the 400 yards advertised, their is a cut through thru the woods across from the house. A few things were broken, a chair, only half a toaster, the ice maker, but none of these effected us at all.

Great location! 3 min walk to beach, no traffic, private, well-kept property. Easy access to shopping and recreation (far enough north that traffic is reasonable). Bottom level nicely finished out in 2016. Basketball goal was broken when we arrived, but replaced with no hassle. Pool very kid-friendly. One bedroom missing fan/light remote: reported but not replaced during our visit. House easily supported 4 families, 13 people, ranging from 6 to 77 yo. We recommend!

This was our first stay at the Outer Banks- the home met the majority of our expectations! The layout of the home is perfect for multiple families renting. The bedrooms were roomy- and the beds were comfortable. Not mentioned was the pack n plays in the closet- that was a plus. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything that you need to cook a meal- with some additional items I thought were a plus (griddle, crock pot). The refrigerator was adequate- my suggestion would be to upgrade to one with an ice maker- or provide more then 2 ice trays. The pool was a nice size and was cleaned twice by the pool service. The furniture on the pool deck could use a good cleaning and there were a few broken chairs that need to be removed. There is some cement cracked that needs some attention- but nothing dangerous to adults or children. The view from the deck is beautiful- the home is fairly secluded which is really nice. The condition of the decks needs some attention. There are multiple loose boards and the wood is splintering which was problematic with the kids we were vacationing with. The walk to the beach was a short one thru the woods- and the beach was not crowded which was a plus.The washer and dryer have a large capacity which is great for washing big loads. We had an issue with the dryer not working- the rental company was quick to send someone out to fix it. I had to call the rental company a few times with questions and want to mention that each time I called they were great- very knowledgable, helpful with each question I had, and very nice to talk with about the outer banks.

We were very happy with the house and the location. Easy access to the beach. The only think with the house, you should look into taking care of where birds had made nests in eaves. The house was very clean. We were very happy with the management staff. We would definitely stay at this property again.

Overall the stay was great! Their is a shortcut through the woods to the beach and it was not crowded at all. The sand was beautiful and it was very quiet and peaceful and away from the hustle and bustle of the really touristy areas in the area. It is a bit of a drive from the hwy as it is at the very north end of the beach. The pool was great as were the chairs on the decks. The house had a little wear and tear with the screens on the screened in porch, the grill was not overly in good shape, the beds were a bit hard for my taste but they were fine as far as beds go and we had a couple small maintenance items that when we called the management company fixed immediately. They were very good to work with and very responsive. We had 12 people and had plenty of room. The house is laid out very well with up top being the main meeting area and lodging mainly on middle floor. Very nice property and would rent again. Oh, we rented bikes and it is a fantastic place to rent bikes. Very nice and easy paths to get to and ride on. Go to the 4x4 beach just north of house and watch people get stuck:)
