Avis Oceanfront home w/heated pool, hot tub, elevator & rec room w/pool table

Party of 17. The house was very clean (a little dated) and convenient to the town of Corolla and the 4x4 beach. Pool was great- they even cleaned it after a storm. Beach access was effortless. We ended up buying cleaning supplies for the countertops and dish soap for dishes that we used as well as dish washing pods for the dish washer and washing machine (standard for VRBO). For the most part the kitchen was well stocked for utensils, stove top cooking as well as the grill. Made cooking for a large group almost effortless. When it rains and the wind blows a certain way, the top level sliding glass doors leak. This makes it hard for the doors to shut properly once dried out. Overall a fantastic week spent with family. Would rent again.

I’ll start with the positives.. the house is very large and has plenty of room for everyone. It is well equipped and has everything you need. There are plenty of dishes, silverware and pot and pans. There are not a lot of glasses though. The views are amazing and the location is good. Now the negatives.., the elevator was not working during our stay. We were called and told about this prior to our stay and decided to still go. But because of the layout of the house an elevator is needed. Caring carrying groceries up all those stairs is not fun. Make sure the elevator is working is you stay here. It looked like there was a lot of storm damage ( no one to blame for that but Mother Nature). We were not aware of this. We had no direct access to the beach and one of the hot tubs was blocked off due to the damage of the deck. The other hot tub barely had enough water to cover the jets and had cob webs and dirt all through it. It looked like it had not been used in a long time. So we had no working hot tubs. The kids used the jetted bath tub ( since no hot tub) and the tub immediately filled with mold when the jets were turned on. The entire left side house had no hot water. Ot got luke warm at best. So even though every bedroom has its own bathroom ( which was very nice) we all had to shower in one of the times on the right side of the house. And now for the worst…. There was vomit in the washing machine when we arrived. Unfortunately this was not noticed until a load of clothes was ran through. So one of our guests had to replace most of their clothes because obviously no one is going to wear clothes covered in someone’s vomit. I sent several unanswered emails and 2 unanswered voicemails were left. I still have not heard from anyone regarding our issues. There are too many other houses and companies to choose from in the area. Stay somewhere else.

Just terrible. False promises and no attempt to rectify at all.

House was great. Location Great. Hot tub over the ocean was amazing, especially when the rip currents banned swimming. Great pool and second hot tub. LOVED how each room had it's own bathroom. Kitchen was large and great for cooking for a large group. Only issue at all was outside wasn't very tidy, outdoor shower backed up and was un-usable, screens were off and apparently the whole area is having issues with spiders, which they came in and sprayed for when I called to complain. I would definitely recommend this house and stay here again.

Smoke alarms continued to go off in the middle of the night. We had fire department out twice. Maintenance was out numerous times. Outdoor water issues. Non functioning ice maker, lower level dryer, middle floor A/C, and others. House was outdated and very dirty.

House was not clean. Pool was not heated and full of sand. Only 6 wine glasses for 16 people. House was adequate for a 55 year reunion. But someone is not earning their money for detailed cleaning and preparation.

The house was amazing, pictures don't do it justice. Very spacious and roomy. Loved that every bedroom had its own bathroom!! We had 25 in our group ages 2 to 62 and it was perfect for everyone!! We have been to the Outer Banks several times but this was our first trip to Corolla...LOVED IT!!!

We enjoyed our stay at Another Sea Esta very much! The kitchen has all the dishes and cookware we needed. We loved being able to look out at the ocean. Even on the rainy days we felt like we were still at the beach! The pool and the hot tub were great! The hot tub being up on the sand dunes with the view of ocean was fantastic, and from the houses around us appeared to be a unique feature. It was very nice that the bedding and towels were provided, but we wished that there would have been some nicer blankets. There were a few good ones but not enough for all the beds. Some of the blankets had holes in them and were dirty. I would take my own blankets next time. It also would have been helpful to have some extra bath towels we were provided with just enough for each person to have one for the whole week. We also didn't feel like the cleaning service had done a very good job. The one bunk room had stains on the toilet. One of the bathrooms had some kind of dirty marks on the floor. The stairs didn't seem to have been vacuumed. Really all of our complaints were minor compared to the things we really enjoyed about the house.
