We did experience an issue with HOT Water....We had 11 people staying in Franklin's Tower and the Hot Water would run out after 3 to 4 people took a shower. Quick showers by the way! The Hot Water tank should be adequate enough to accommodate the amount of people the house maximizes which is 16. Either the Hot Water tank has an element burnt out or it's too small a tank. Also, I did ask when renting if house provided option to purchase heat for pool and was told NO. We saw the house indeed had a heater for pool. Please convey to Owner the House and neighborhood was beautiful. Thank you!

We loved our stay in Franklin's Tower! The rooms and baths were spacious and the closeness to the beach was a positive. The inside was clean when we arrived, the outside and windows...not so much. A beach vacation is about spending time outside and enjoying the atmosphere. The outside of the house was covered in spiderwebs (understandable) and dead bugs, especially the windows. We had little desire to sit on the deck because of the dirtiness. The pool furniture was also not clean and some broken.
Response from Beach Realty of North Carolina, Inc.
Hi Susan, thank you for your review. We are so happy to hear that you loved your stay at Franklin's Tower! We understand your frustration regarding the bugs on the exterior of the home, specifically on the decks and apologize for this. The midges this year were at a record high and we have worked to help with this by power washing as much as we are able. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back next year!

This house was amazing. They thought of everything. We have been going to the beach for years and staying in houses with family this is the first time we went on our own and we loved this house. It was right next to the walkway to the beach but there was still privacy. It’s not a big huge house for lots of families but there was just two families and it was perfect. Lots of personal touches that other houses do not offer. We will definitely stay again if we get a chance.

Great location, comfortable beds, organized kitchen, walkway next to house, beautiful pool (that we used a lot), DVD library (we only watched one weather was just too good), great deck views. Down side, the steps going over the dune was way too much (no ones fault) 36 steps just going to top then steep steps down to beach. Traveling with 9 month pregnant, 3 toddlers, handicap person and 80 year old so that was tough. Rented golf cart and rode to next access.

Franklin's Tower was the perfect place for our family of 14 to spend a week together near the beach. The house was clean, spacious, and had everything we needed for our stay. Best equipped kitchen I've ever encountered! The beach was an easy walk, even for our four year old twins. The steps over the dunes are higher than I expected, but we carried everything we needed without a problem. The pool was a great hit with the children, I think that was the favorite part of the house. We will definitely be going back.

Where to begin! Our group stayed at Franklin's Tower for the first time a few weeks ago. Two families with 5 total kids, ages 2-10 plus 3 other adults. Ahead of our stay, Beach Realty made the process smooth and answered any questions about the house very quickly. When we arrived on the island, we called to let them know if check-in was available early, we were here and ready. They called around 1pm and we headed right over! The house was clean and cool (yay!), making it a very nice transition. We had a wonderful week and would stay here again in a second! Loved the location in Corolla - close to Food Lion, restaurants, shopping.

Highlights:
- great size pool, hot tub and outdoor patio set-up
- four levels of decks - especially the deck access off bedrooms was fantastic
- there was 1 big bedroom on the second floor that did not have deck access - great for little kids!
- several baby gates, a high chair, pool toys, beach chairs, tons of kitchen equipment, covered clothesline ... really felt like home
- directly off the Mackerel beach path, ideal for little kids
- great neighborhood, room for a bunch of cars (including 2 covered spaces) quiet, lots of beach space
- kids especially loved the little reading nook area with comfy couches and poofs
- loved having the standalone ice-maker in addition to that of the freezer

For future guests:
- the downstairs TV room has a pull-out sleeper, easily used as another bedroom
- the true bedroom downstairs got a bit stuffy, would suggest bringing a fan
- there are lights around the pool but they are not extremely bright - we brought a work light as suggested by another reviewer and that was a great fix for nights in the hot tub
- the walk to the beach is not far, but the walk over the dunes is a lot of steps. Be prepared to carry your beach cart a good ways up and over!
- bring kitchen towels! We completely forgot and had to buy some while down there
Fun in the sun in Corolla

It was a great week for our family of 10. Franklin's Tower provided more than enough room and amenities. It was very comfortable and is an easy walk to the beach. The kids enjoyed the pool and hot tub area. It is also close to the area's shopping and entertainment. I would recommend this house to anyone visiting this area.

We had stayed at Franklin's Tower a couple times in the past and decided it would be perfect for our first family vacation to OBX without my husband/dad. We all loved it here and still do!!! It's a wonderful house and great beach access.
Our only concerns were some updates that need to be done. The kitchen appliances especially the refrigerator was not in great working order. We also felt that the kitchen could use some new and more utensils.
Some of the bathrooms need updating as well. Drains did not work well.
Overall our vacation was terrific. We love the decks and the special little nook on the side of the first floor. It's very comfy. Great pool also. We had never used it before as we would come off season.

We have stayed at Franklin's Tower for the last 4 years, so we were aware of the location, proximity to the beach, size of the house, etc.. The property is well maintained, in fact the owners send us an letter every year of what features that are being updated. They are very pro-active. This year we did experience a late check-in due to a concern by the inspector about the lower bathroom. I didn't think that it was dirty, but she cleaned it herself so we could move in. The lady was very accommodating. We have already reserved this house for next year.

Location was good. Walkway is right next to house. Kitchen is fully stocked and very organized. The inside of House was clean, but on multiple occasions we killed spiders. We called beach realty about refrigerator door not shutting properly and lights being out around pool area. They were never fixed. Pool ladies were very nice. Pool was clean, but there are no lights in the pool so the water is too dark for children to swim after dark. Overall house was very nice.
