Another Amazing Week at The Big Sea

This house has it all! A beautiful pool, hot tub and short walk to the beach. It is situated in a quiet street yet so close to shops and restaurants. Our family enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning.

Lots of fun at Big Sea

This was our 2nd year at this house and, apart from the weather, it was very enjoyable. It is a wonderful place to be - our group has rented 3 places in Corolla and this is by far the best. We didn't watch much TV as they had converted to ROKU, but that just meant more card playing and other activities.

Great Vacation Rental

We were a party of 15 - the communal areas easily accommodated us - the 7 year old loved the nook to play his games while being surrounded by the family. Everyone loved having their own bedroom and private bath. Best place in the house was the crow’s nest! Could use insulated plastic glasses for the pool, some smaller sauce pans, more kitchen towels. Overall, a fabulous spot!

1st Trip to OBX...won’t be the last!!!

Booking with Beach Realty was a breeze! Getting into the property initially was a challenge but our property manager Karen came through in the clutch. The house was everything pictured and more! It was clean and spacious. With 16 people of all ages we never felt crowded. Throw in our experience with the Outer Banks Boil Company and Jessica from OBX Massage Therapy and the trip could not have been better. But we sure will try to top it next year.

Big Sea Review

We found Big Sea just as presented and enjoyed our week there very much. Everything was clean and in good working order. Takes a little while to figure out the TVs (more specific instructions could be helpful) but who's at the beach to watch TV right? We did get it figured out after a little experimentation. All rooms were beautifully decorated and the kitchen exceeded expectations...event 2 dishwashers and loads of nice silverware.

Wonderful Stay!!!

Such a fantastic home!!!

Perfect for several families, huge living area to spend time in together, but so much room for everyone to have their own space for the week. The mattresses in all of the bedrooms, are amazing. We’ve stayed in places where your back hurts after a couple of days, but everyone raved about the mattresses all week!

Location is amazing, so lovely to have the door open and hear the waves.

Rental company was a delight to work with. On our first day, I noticed some screens with tears in them. I texted over a picture, just so they were aware, and they had someone out the next morning, collecting any screens that needed replacing.

We booked our week for next year, before we left to come home!

Great Thanksgiving Getaway

The process to rent the home was very simple. I thought the home was in great condition and was as pictured. I was pleasantly surprised with the cleanliness of the home knowing that pets are allowed. The only thing I would suggest is adding a few more, medium-sized sauce pans to cook with. That was the only thing lacking, in my opinion. The beds were VERY comfortable and all had great mattresses. For the pet owners, there are a bunch of small thorny "things" around the exterior that are most likely from the shrubbery. They don't feel good when you step on them and they were stuck to my dog's feet, so be careful. There were only a few surfaces that should have been cleaned a bit more such as the window sills and dust on top of the dressers. I would definitely return and recommend to others. It was a great stay.

Manager's Response

Thank you Karen for your valuable feedback! We will relay this information to the owner and we appreciate you bringing it to our attention! It sounds like you experienced some sand spurs ...ugghh! So glad you enjoyed your stay despite those little nuisances that we share this beautiful island with!

Beautiful home just steps to the beach!

We had a wonderful stay at The Big Sea. The house is spacious and very close to the beach. This was ideal for our group with children and grandparents. We really liked the pool area and game room/basement. The only draw back was that the home didn’t seem to be very clean upon our arrival. We would also suggest that the owners lay some concrete down by the outdoor rinse off area so that when you are done rinsing off you don’t immediately step in sand again. Overall, we had a great time and really enjoyed The Big Sea! We were hoping to book it again next year but it’s such a great house, it’s already booked up for Summer 2022.

Manager's Response

Leonardo, thank you for your review. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your vacation at 'Big Sea'! We appreciate your feedback on the home and hope to welcome you back to the beach!

Big Sea Beach Rental

When it comes to the house itself we could not have asked for a better place or location! The property had everything everything we could’ve asked for and more! The only downside was when we got there the pool still had sand in it so idk if it was ever cleaned. Also check in was supposed to be between 4-6pm but due to “Covid” they were not able to get a cleaning crew to the house until 930pm. I wouldn’t have had a HUGE problem with this if the communication was better. I had to keep calling them for updates and once the offices closed around 7 everyone stopped answering the phone. We thought the first night we were going to be SOL but luckily the cleaning crew ended up showing up. But again the house itself was perfect and I couldn’t have asked for a better spot. I just wish the communication in the first day was better!

Manager's Response

Hi Ryan, thank you for your review. We sincerely apologize for your check in experience as this is not characteristic of our level of service and we wish a simple and seamless check in for all of our guests. However, we are glad to hear that you were able to have a wonderful vacation and you enjoyed the home. We hope to see you again next year!

Great home and great stay!

Big Sea was a wonderful dog friendly home. Perfect top floor layout for plenty of family time. Private baths for each room is ideal. We had a cold, wet week but the heated pool was perfect. The house is so close to the beach and made it ideal for short or long walks on the beach.

Manager's Response

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are glad to hear that the home met your expectations and you enjoyed your vacation! We hope to welcome you back to the beach very soon!

Amazing house!

We had a great trip! Perfect for larger groups because the bedrooms are large and each with their own bathroom. A quick walk (one house back from the ocean) to the beach, quick drive or bike ride to the grocery store and fun at Tim Buck II. Highly recommend!

Thank you for taking the time to review your stay at Big Sea! Having a vacation home close to the beach and shops where you can make memories with your friends and family can make a trip so much more special.

AWESOME property!

The description on the website is very accurate. The photos don’t do the house justice, it’s so beautiful and open. Great views! Close to beach access. The kitchen if fully loaded. No need to bring those extras that some houses don’t have. The bedrooms and bathrooms are very spacious! The pool and cabana area is better than pictured. The house seems well maintained, although it could’ve been cleaner upon checkin. We always clean ourselves anyway. We had a couple problems that were fixed very quickly. I would recommend this house over and over! We will return to this property, in 9 years of visiting Corolla, we never found a house we wanted to re-rent until this one. We just love the Ocean Sands area.
While here, we enjoyed the new restaurant called Bernies Brother, Lighthouse Bagels, Sooeys BBQ and Philly Cheesesteak.Corolla Village Market is a shop full of local artists goods. Such cute stuff!! Support the locals!

Manager's Response

We are incredibly grateful that you took the time to review "Big Sea." We are glad you and your family enjoyed your stay on the Outer Banks and that the house was the perfect vacation destination that you were looking for! I am also glad to see you were able to enjoy some of our favorite restaurants and enjoy everything that the Corolla are has to offer. We strive to deliver a great guest experience, and hope to have you back with us at Big Sea again next year!

Rental experience was awesome!!! But places that big need an intercom system of some kind. Should provide dishwashing powder, since you want the dishwasher loaded when we leave & at least have toilet paper in some bathrooms when guest first arrive. Need dish towels in towel packages.

We are so happy you had a great stay! We do provide a starter kit to all our guests which includes one dishwasher tablet packet, toilet paper in each bathroom and one roll of paper towel. I apologize these items were missed for your arrival! We hope to see you back again next year.

Beautiful home

Our family had a short midweek last minute getaway to this lovely home. We chose it for the amenities because we were traveling with newborns and knew the older kids would need entertainment while mom and dad tended to the babies.

The home was great and everything we needed. Plenty of room for our family of six.
