    This was a great spot to spend our anniversary. The resort is a little dated, but very cute, and the staff is super nice.

    Twiddy - Walls had dust everywhere

    Our experience with Twiddy Vacation Rentals in the OBX was beyond disappointing. What was…read moreadvertised as a premium beach house felt more like the Motel 6 of vacation rental companies. The listing was inaccurate, and several amenities that were clearly advertised were either broken or not available at all. Some bathrooms didn't even have basic supplies like toilet paper. One shower had such low water pressure it was completely unusable. The dishwasher was broken for the entire week, which meant hand-washing dishes for 14 guests, three meals a day, for seven days. That is not what anyone signs up for on vacation. The house itself was not properly cleaned. There were cobwebs on multiple surfaces, visible rust throughout, and an overall neglected feel. For the price we paid, the condition of the property was unacceptable. Customer service was effectively nonexistent. We reported the issues, and nothing meaningful was done to resolve them during our stay. There was no urgency, no accountability, and no effort to make things right. Also worth noting: reviews appear to be filtered, showing only glowing feedback. Based on our experience, you are not getting the full picture when you read the listings. For the amount of money these homes command, expectations should be much higher. We would strongly recommend considering another rental company. You've been warned. Terrible consistent reviews on TrustPilot, Yelp and many other pages. The feeling is clearly unanimous and Twiddy clearly does not care.

    The home was in appalling condition. The air reeked of must and mildew. Filthy blankets had to be…read morewashed upon arrival--completely unacceptable given the cost. Vents were caked with mildew, the bath mat was filthy, and dishes and cutlery had been put away wet and dirty. Dust covered the pendant lights and furniture throughout, triggering allergies for all of us. Absolutely zero effort had been made to maintain this property. The deck was riddled with rusty nails--my children were literally picking them up, an outrageous and dangerous hazard. The pool area was no better: the pavers around it were so scorching hot they became unsafe to walk on. We endured because of a death in the family, but this property was disgraceful. I would never rent again, nor would I trust any property under Twiddy's management.

    Twiddy - Hard to believe it cost $12,000 to pee here for the week and we can't even get a toilet paper holder.

    These are the correct phone numbers Main Office:…read more252-453-2455 Sports Center: 252-453-4565 http://www.corollalightresort.com/ This was our first time in the Outer Banks and we rented a house on the Sound side. Corolla Light has a bunch of houses and condos on the ocean side of Route 12 but most(if not all) the rental houses on the Sound side have an affiliation with the Corolla Light as well. They have a small shuttle bus that picks up people on the Sound side of Route 12 so you do not need to drive to the location. There is a small parking lot for about 20 cars in front of the basketball courts but it gets filled quickly, so walking, biking, or using the shuttle is usually the way to get there from your rental property. There is no fitness center at the Corolla Light location with the pools, it is called the Richard Brindley Sportscenter located about 1 mile south on Route 12. (Located next to the Grass Course Mini-golf - the sportscenter does not show up on Google maps) It has an indoor 25 meter pool, 2 indoor tennis courts, racquet ball court, volleyball court, cardio room with several treadmills, elliptical machines, bikes, and one stepper. Also a fitness rooms with dumbells up to 60 lbs. and several machines including a vertical Smith machine. They have 2 large pools one that is 3.5 - 5 feet deep and one that is deeper. Plenty of space. There is a restaurant located at the pools to eat at as well as order poolside. There are 4 full basketball courts with different size balls (27.5" to regular size) provided. Not great quality but good enough to mess around. There is also a little kids play area (no swings), beach volleyball court, and 2 shuffle board courts. They also have a walkway for beach access with a nearby lifeguard station and you can rent surf boards on the beach. We were there in just now July, so despite the 90-100 degree temperature, the water temp max'd out at only 60 degrees so wet suits are necessary. The waves were 0.5 - 1.5 feet so surfing was possible but not great. Near the entrance to the property, they have rental area (bikes, surfboads, boogie boards, and wet suits, but no fishing gear (see my review on Corolla Bait and Tackle) as well as several restaurants, one Mexican and one BBQ but I did not eat there so not sure how they are. They also have 2 ponds near the entrance to the property that are probably stocked because it was very easy to catch fish there. Sunfish, bluegill. Overall, a lot of good amenities if you are staying in an associated property. Just remember your wristband.

    BEWARE before you rent from Corolla Classic Vacations by Vacasa!!!!…read more"Cancellation Policy: If you cancel within 24 hours of booking, you'll receive a full refund. After that (unless stated otherwise in the home description and unit-specific terms), if you cancel 30 or more days before the first night of your reservation, you'll receive a refund of any rental payments you've made, minus the booking fee." We reserved a beach house in June 2022 for the next year June 2023. My first payment was $4226 and another payment due in 2023. I cancelled that reservation 6 weeks later. They charged me 10% of my total bill $803. That's some "booking fee" for them considering the house was only off the market 6 weeks one year in advance.

    Extremely poor customer service and responsiveness. Wouldn't answer the phone, wouldn't call back,…read moreand wouldn't reply to emails in a timely manner. You expect to get something of value for your money when you pay almost $4,000 for a week stay. This rental property failed to provide basic necessities and supplies to make an extended stay comfortable. If you're going to require your guests to "...gather all dirty dishes and run them through the dishwasher," then you need to supply dishwasher soap. If you ask your guests to "wipe down the stove and oven daily..." you ought to provide some type of cleaner. Sheets and blankets had holes in them. Most of the blankets had people and animal hair on them and stunk. When we went to wash the blankets the washer turn knob came right off making the washer un-usable. Bathrooms were dingy and dirty. We weren't allowed to put the thermostat lower than 72 degrees which means there was likely something wrong with their system but they don't want to get it fixed. Many of the outside lounge chairs were cracked. The whole experience was disappointing to say the least. We'll be avoiding this home in the future.
