REVIEW: 'Tons of Fun!'
'We loved this beach house! We had a fantastic time at 'BLACKBEARD'S TREASURE, COROLLA!' and highly recommend it because it had everything we wanted and in a great location. There was plenty of room for our extended family of 22. The house was clean and very appealing. There are 3 refrigerators with one downstairs near the pool and grill. The rec room became a gathering place for us because it overlooks the pool and hot tub and has a nice pool table and bar. The pool and hot tub were large and clean and we used them constantly. The kitchen is large with enough seating for everyone. It had everything we needed plus some. The 7 baths were important for us and gave us the privacy we wanted. Plenty of tv's for everyone and there's also music to the decks with a docking station. We were able to watch an evening concert in the park from the decks of the house and had a great view of the lighthouse. There are bikes to use on the paths along the water and we had fun biking together. Make sure to check out the museum aquarium in the park , it's free, and climb the lighthouse if you dare. But, the wild horse tour was one of the highlights of our vacation. The park had a kite flying contest for the kids and an arts and craft show during the week. Wish we could have stayed longer. We highly recommend this beach house!'

Corolla Village is known as the 'Magical Vacation Spot' of the Carolina's with Beautiful Wide, Clean, and Uncrowded Beaches and Awesome location across from Heritage Park.

Corolla Beach is said to be one of the "Best Beaches on the East Coast" with uncrowded & pristine beaches that are not steep with dangerous drop off.

'Blackbeard's Treasure', sleeps 24 for Large Family Reunions offering an Over-Sized Beach Property with spread out room for activities and the much valued privacy for relaxing.

Our wide and level beach with lots of sandbars provide a safe and extended playground for all. The village has quaint shopping, activities, & friendly locals. Corolla is an upscale island that caters to families. No college frat parties to worry about.... just gorgeous scenery of clean white sand and aqua blue water. Family friendly fun and adventures are within walking distance. The tranquil village setting and soothing island pace provide a calming and comforting retreat, ideal for relaxing. Blackbeard's Treasure is across from breathtaking Heritage Park, one of the most beautiful areas on the NC coast. The park offers a variety of fun things to do; kite flying, living sea and wild life museum, the historic Whale Head Club, dock, arts exhibits, wine tasting events, as well as festivals, concerts, and Fireworks. The Wild Horse Museum offers children's activities and pony rides. This Conservatory is dedicated to protecting the 'Wild Horse Preservation'. DNA testing has proven that these majestic horses are descendants of the Spanish King's Royal line which survived the Galleon Shipwrecks during a ferocious storm more than 500 years ago! These Wild Horses still flourish today with Tours available which are usually the highlight of our visitor's vacation. We also have scenic bike and walking trails along the water with complimentary wildlife like Ocean Eagles, Egrets and more. A huge effort has been made to keep Corolla 'Unspoiled' by preventing over commercialism and crowded beaches.

Nearby are wild horse tours, jet skiing, and kids racetrack. From sunset to sunrise, relax with soothing Light House Views overhead taking you back to a less rushed time of long ago. This upscale island area is home to the Wild Horse Sanctuary, originating from Spanish Galleon Ship Wrecks 500 years ago. It is said to be one of the Best beaches on the East Coast! Extended sandbars offer safe play areas with shelling! You'll love every moment and create lasting memories with Family and Friends.

Most importantly, unlike beaches to the south that have been eroded and are steep, Corolla beaches are wide. We are not in Duck where it floods and are not in the 4x4 area where high tide restricts getting in and out.

Out of our stays through vrbo she was the best. She rocked in communication. She always got right back to us. She is very detailed and loved that she sent us things to do and try throughout our vacation. The house was super clean and the kitchen had everything you could think of. Her house is fully stocked. She has a ton of board games for kids and alot of outside games as well. The pool and jacuzzi was amazing as well. Hands down this is a great place to rent highly recommend.

Layout & Amenities Great but Poorly Maintained
The bedroom layout and bed type worked almost perfectly for our family; the separation of rooms provided quiet space; the location to the beach was good. However, problems with how the property is maintained are numerous: HVAC fan filters (all) and most ceiling fan blades "caked" with dust; poolside seat cushions mildewed; kitchen pots dirty and cutting board moldy; kitchen countertop formica surface and nearly all cabinet trim separating (in most cases, secured with tape); one stovetop burner inop; deck picnic table seat broken and surface mildewed; screen door from master to deck falling off track; front doorknob difficult to operate; some bicycles too rusty to operate safely...and the worst: roaches (big ones) spotted on at least 4 occasions during our stay; plus, wifi router required resetting numerous times per day; at least one smoke detector missing; and numerous other trim pieces broken, missing or malfunctioning (toilet paper holder, recessed light flickering; sink stopper disconnected, etc.)

Property is in a great location, pretty close to the beach, walking distance.
Wonderful home for large group. Kids loved pool table and darts. And the beach! Ki tchen appliances (dishwashers and range) could be replaced--getting old and in need of repair. The hot tub was very nice too.

Thanksgiving gathering
A great time was had by all 11 of us! Enough bedrooms and baths for everyone! The kitchen was extremely well stocked with all the dishes, cooking appliances, knives, serving spoons, etc and silverware for more than our group needed. The golf cart provided was a definite plus and was definitely utilized..as well as the hot tub.. which was kept hot. Too chilly to use the kayaks but we will keep that in mind for a summer gathering. Sherrie, the owner was charming and made sure our time was enjoyable; always reachable!

Comfortable and Clean stay in OBX
We had a multi family group ranging from 68 yrs to 1 month and this home was comfortable and convenient for all. The beach is just down the street one direction and the Currituck Lighthouse is a block away the other direction. Great location!! The kids and adults both enjoyed the pool and hottub daily! The home was clean and carpets being cleaned just before we arrived. The owner, Sherrie, was very accommodating. Several packages of new items for the home arrived during our stay. Thanks for the great time!

Vacation with Family and Friends
This was our first time staying in the OBX. We loved it. Sherri was excellent. She was very commutative right from the start of the booking. The house is a little dated; but overall it was a perfect fit for our party of 21. The kitchen was very well stocked, it was great having the two refrigerators in the kitchen along with the two dishwashers. The pool was great. The hot tub was hot. The only complaint we would say is maybe have a little more outside furniture on the upper deck. With the large crowd another table would of be been perfect. Overall a great place to stay; thank you for the memories.

Great family vacation home!
Our very large family enjoyed our trip to Corolla and enjoyed staying at Blackbeard's Treasure! It was so close to the lighthouse and we all enjoyed being able to see the lighthouse from the deck or from the hot tub. All of the little children in the family loved the house so much they were calling it "our house" and they all want to come back next year! The pool was a huge hit for the children and the hot tub for all of us. We had access to the beach via a short walk and plenty of space in the house as well as outside for everyone to be comfortable. Sherrie was so helpful and accommodating and that helped to make our plans much easier. We will be back next year and plan on making this an annual family reunion place! This is a great place to stay!

Family memories
The inside of the property was very clean and nice. It was the perfect size for our family of 14. We all enjoyed having our own rooms and bathrooms. We all loved the pool and hot tub as well and they were very clean and as advertised. Realizing TS Debbie had just passed through before we got there made the pool area and cushions on the outdoor furniture sopping wet, dirty and moldy. We could not use them. Also there were no wash cloths in the laundry room as they were to be included with the linens and we had brought none of our own. There were no stores close by to buy any. When I contacted the host she assured me someone would be bringing them. We arrived on Saturday and they did not appear until Monday. We loved that there were 3 refrigerators, several coffee makers and toasters though. That was great! The washer and dryer were a plus as well. It would have been nice to have a retractable clothes line or folding laundry racks for wet beach towels and bathing suits. Our family enjoyed our stay very much. The golf cart was an excellent way to get our tents, food, drinks up to the stairs of the beach and back home again but it quit charging for the last two days of our stay. It could not be fixed before we had to leave. It would be greatly helpful if there was a designated parking space at the entrance of the beach for golf carts in the community. The bikes were not in good working condition and the decking on all 3 levels of the house was in need of repair and attention.

Wonderful Vacation
Our families had such a wonderful time at the beach! The house accommodated everyones wishes in some fashion, the beach was lovely. The kitchen was large with plenty of operating space and lots of storage. The 2 refrigerators were a blessing! There was so much to do. We had 4 familes, plus lots of teenagers, toddler, and a baby. Still the room was enough for everyone! We did have some minor issues but Sherry had it taken care of before the following day! Service was great! We all agree that we would recommend your home for any vacation and would do it again ourselves. Thank You so much.

Just what the doctor ordered
This was our first trip to OBX. The house on Schoolhouse was perfect for our needs. Pool. Hot tub. Kayak. Pool table. Ping pong. Golf cart. The owner was very responsive throughout the booking process and during move-in day. House was clean and entire property matched the VRBO description. Our 3-year-old granddaughter loved the lighthouse; she climbed it twice and wanted to go a 3rd time. She also enjoyed the nearby nature center which included a free fishing class (she caught 3 fish). If you have kids, check out the nature center beforehand; there are lots of free activities to book.

Very relaxing Family Vacation!
My family of 20 decided to go to OBX for our first family vacation all together in one house! WE sure are happy we decided to stay in this one! The home had plenty of room and space for everyone to be together and also have time alone. We were all either in the pool or hot tub or at the beach, loved having the golf cart and bikes! Sherrie is very responsive, when I emailed her she responded quickly and took care of anything I needed. We enjoyed going to Duck which is about a 20 minute ride, we went shopping and had dinner there one night. We also did the wild horse tour which I highly recommend. The home was very clean, has everything you need to cook which we did almost everyday for every meal! I love all the trees and seeing the lighthouse from the house. Everyone in my family felt so relaxed and comfortable in the home and The location of this home is perfect in my opinion and would definitely stay here again without question!

Wonderful house for family vacation
Perfect property for our family! Parents, 3 grown kids&spouses,& 3 grandsons 4,18 mos, 20 mos old. 4 king bedrooms (a must for our very tall guys) with adjoining bathrooms with his & her sinks in each, huge master suite with jacuzzi tub (a favorite with the grandsons), each child also had his own room (making bedtime easy), private pool, hot tub, stocked kitchen, 2 refrigerators & 2 dishwashers in kitchen, huge family table seats 14, 2 Hammocks, Pool table, bikes, volleyball court, basketball hoop, grill, 6 person golf cart, Crib, baby gates & highchair. Loved the ground level kitchenette (microwave, frig & sink)! The weather wasn’t ideal, but played games/cards/watched movies. Only one suggestion: one more sofa or a sectional would have been appreciated since the house does accommodate 24 people & a must for rainy days. We will definitely rent again with our growing family!! Everything I listed above, we used - all good working order.

Awesome stay here...not one complaint :)
We stayed at this home from August 6 to the 13. We had such a great time! The pool and hot tub were awesome. Half of our party never made it to the beach because the pool was good enough for them! The golf cart was a hit. We had several other houses on the street willing to pay us money to drive them to the beach! It was fun to drive it across Route 12 to the awesome BBQ down the street and to the Lighthouse. The house was very clean. The AC was perfect (some actually complained it was too cold...but not me...lol). Sherrie was always easy to get in touch with when I had questions from the moment we booked. I was also impressed that she got in touch with me at the beginning and the end of our vacation to make sure everything was good. I will definitely find my way back here in the future! If I had to find one complaint.....it's that our vacation was over way too fast! Thanks Sherrie...keep up the great work :)

GREAT House for our family vacation!
The location is terrific. Easy walk, bike ride or golf cart ride to beach, shops, food, lighthouse, museums in Corolla. Less than a mile to off-road access to Corova beaches. Inside of the house was immaculate, all linens and towels as promised. Kitchen enormous and well stocked with dishes, pots & pans, coffee makers, utensils, etc. So many toys (bikes, kayaks, golf cart, corn hole) and games (board games and premium movie channels for a rainy day). Pool and hot tub were clean and even cleaned again mid-week. Plenty of room for my family, nice to have rooms for adult couples so everyone didn't have to sleep on bunk beds. Pet-friendly was a huge plus for us. This is a well-loved, family friendly house. Highly recommend. ** The only reason I gave four stars for cleanliness was that the outside porches and grounds could have used a once-over for trash, spiderwebs, etc. in between guests. In all fairness, we stayed in October and the fall weather probably contributed a little to the situation.

Perfect Beach Get-Away
Our family of 20 and 3 little ones rented this amazing house as a surprise XMAS present for our parents. We were not disappointed as it is everything it claims to be. We enjoyed the seclusion and privacy from all the trees around the property, yet were only a short distance from the beach, the golf cart was a big bonus. Everyone enjoyed the pool, the lighthouse views, and just having fun in the sun. The wild horses are only a mile down the road and we went to see them many times, the house is also in close proximity to dining and shopping. The only drawback (and they were both minor) was that some of the chairs on the decks were cracked and broken and there was only one skillet for cooking. The kitchen is quite large and accommodating with two refrigerators for a large group , and you'll get plenty of exercise going up all the steps to get there. Again, I can't say enough wonderful things about our stay, other than after a week you have to leave; but we have many happy memories that are ours to keep. Thanks Sherrie for sharing Blackbeard's Treasure!

Awesome family vacation
We booked the house for July 4th week to spend with family. We had 20 total in our group and the house had more than enough space to accommodate at all times without it ever feeling crowded. The location could not have been better. It’s located further north in Corolla which is quieter than the rest of the island. We drove the golf cart and bikes to the beach, park and nearby stores which made it fun for everyone. Just across the main road there are several things to see and do like the lighthouse & Whalehead in Corolla Park, little shops, beer garden, pizza and BBQ spots. Just a few minute walk to the beach access at the dead end street, the beach was never crowded compared to further down where the public access was. And on the 4th, the fireworks could not have been more perfect as they shot off behind the lighthouse and Whalehead at the park, allowing us to watch perfectly all together on the top back deck. Sherri, the owner, was so accommodating during the lead up, sending various emails with intel and links for things to do and had the house stocked with everything needed for cooking, grilling, tons of games, volleyball, and a clean pool and hot tub. After spending a week in OBX and visiting the rest of the island, our group unanimously agreed that the house and location could not have been better for our group due to proximity to so many walkable things to do, no crowds in the area and THE perfect spot for fireworks on the 4th.
