A very well-appointed house!
This house has all the amenities you could ask for. After 2 decades of renting houses in Corolla, I grew accustomed to making do with whatever supplies were hanging around the kitchen. This house puts all the other kitchens to shame! From actual margarita glasses to a fancy rice maker, I cannot think of anything the kitchen lacked.
The only thing which detracts from this house is that the hot tub is on the second floor and water from the tub leaks onto anyone standing by the outside bar. An unfortunate location, for sure.

We are so glad you liked the kitchen Sybil! When you are able to make a nice meal for your family on vacation it adds to the awesome memories! We appreciate your feedback about the hot tub. We'll see you next time!

Gertrudes Breakaway
This rental has everything you need while on vacation with a large group including 2 dishwashers, ovens, outdoor showers, pool floats, 2 different size crock pots, plastic wear for pool area. Sinks everywhere for washing. Plenty of room for everyone to spread out. Perfect location close to the beach. Go on Tuesday to get free bagels!
The house could have been a little cleaner. There were beer cans in the couches when we arrived, shoes from the previous renters were left, sand still on the stairs, floors were filthy, a couple stains on the sheets... we received our text that the place was ready a little before 4pm and when we got there around 5pm the cleaners were still there.

Melanie, we are sorry to hear the cleaning was not up to your standards. Please remember you can call us upon arrival and we will happily send a housekeeper to re-clean to make the house comfortable for you! We are pleased to hear you enjoyed the kitchen and free bagels! We hope to see you again soon!

Beautiful home in an excellent location. Best stocked house we have ever stayed in in OBX
Only issue was that the outside propane grill only had 1 burner that ignited with push button, had to manually ignite other burners. Outside woodwork needs to be painted.

Fantastic Location and an Ideal Layout for multi family getaway
Our group of 5 families with kids ranging from 3 months to 17 had a wonderful experience. The kitchen, living area, pool/decks, and amenities were perfect and never had us feel cramped. The location was ideal with a short walk to the quiet and uncrowded beach, and we never had to worry about traffic or vehicles with the kids around. The built in Sonos multi room sound was a huge hit and there was space and something for absolutely everyone.

Great place for a large Family
Home was wonderful. We loved the stylish beach decor and cleanliness. Really appreciated the prompt responses and easy check-in as well! It was nice to unwind in the hot tub at the end of the night also. The community is beautiful. Enjoyed a bike ride through the neighborhood in the mornings.
Manager's Response

Tuesday Club Vacation
This vacation was amazing! The house was perfect for us. The location so close to the beach. Our week went so fast even though our days were spent at the house in the pool. The balcony gave us perfect sunrises to start our days and sunsets that were spectacular!
Manager's Response
We are incredibly grateful that you took the time to review "Gertrude's Breakaway." A beautiful sunrise to begin each day and sunsets to end them are always a highlight for a fantastic vacation destination. If one week seemed to go by too quickly, perhaps in the coming years you could consider a two week stay! We strive to deliver a great guest experience, and hope that you will continue to vacation with us for many years to come.

This property, by far, is one of the best in OBX. We have stayed here on numerous occasions, and it is always the property we come back to. The house is always clean and well-stocked. It leaves nothing to be desired. Can't say enough good things about Gertrude!

Great escape!
We had a very relaxing time. The house was in the perfect location and we only had to walk down the driveway and over the dune to get to the beach that was quieter than other parts of the outer banks. It was great with little kids who needed to go to the bathroom or get snacks to just run quickly back to the house if needed. We had enough space for everyone and the house was very clean. We loved the pool and hot tub and playing pool downstairs. The kitchen had every conceivable appliance you could imagine for cooking. We would definitely love to return to this house for future vacations.

Beautiful House!
This house was the nicest we have ever stayed in and we have been going to the Outer Banks for a about 35 years. We had 20 people and it never felt crowded. The elevator was such a nice addition. The furniture and overall feel were so comfortable and classy. Proximity to the beach is fantastic. The dunes are doing great in this area but just beware that means there are about 25 steps to get down to the beach over the dune.
Manager's Response
Thanking you for taking the time to review your stay at Gertrude's Breakaway. We could not agree with you more, this house is perfect. Well maintained and appointed plus top notch care from the owners makes this house stand out from the rest. This house has all the amenities a family could ever need and the location to the beach is divine. We hope we will see you at the beach again soon with Kitty Hawk Rentals!

Grateful for Gertrude
We were happy to return, and will do so again, to a lovely home quite close to the beach. The large kitchen was great for a bunch of us to cook together. We were grateful for the enormous dining room table, to which we added a small white porch table, to seat all 16 of us together. Comfy furniture, liked the small seating areas too.
Manager's Response
Hey Cyrus, thank you for reviewing your stay at Gertrude's Breakaway. This is such a lovely spacious house with areas for everyone, and just a short stroll to the beautiful beaches. It's great when family can come together and share moments like this. We hope Kitty Hawk Rentals will continue to play a role in many more of your family's vacations in the near future.

Great week, wonderful location
We had a wonderful week with our extended family at Gertrude's Breakaway. The house is very roomy with wonderful views from the 3rd deck. The kitchen/living room area provides a wonderful common area for all to hang out. Location to beach and grocery store and other shops very ideal, with great bike paths the whole way. Just a few things that need some improvement considering the price - upgrades to pool furniture/area, audio system (very complex to operate and pretty dated), decking looks like it's beginning to rot a bit, need pot holders for kitchen, and finally....please get a HAMMOCK!! All in all though, a really awesome week in a wonderful home. We will be returning next year.

Great OBX experience!
Gertrude’s Breakaway was the perfect home for our family! We had 16 people and with its 8 bedrooms and large upper level kitchen/dining/family room, everyone had more than enough space. The pool was a great way to enjoy the outdoors when we were ready to relax for the day. We enjoyed using the 4 bikes to head to Corolla for smoothies. and although we had our own chairs and boards with us, the home also came equipped with numerous beach chairs, boogie boards and sand toys. The location was fabulous...a short walk through the cul-de-sac to the walkway for the beach. And the beach was amazing! Never too crowded. We set up a sand volleyball net numerous times and enjoyed games with our fellow neighbors! We had a wonderful first trip to Corolla, and are looking forward to returning and staying at Gertrude’s!!!

September stay
We loved this house I have five older kids and three grandchildren and this was the perfect space. This was the first time we had an elevator and it was a great addition for unloading out food. The pool area was nice especially the volleyball net.

Perfect for 20 . . . Great Location!
This house was very roomy and handled our crew of 20 perfectly. The house was clean and had a well equipped kitchen (even a waffle maker)! The location to the beach was the best part though. Short walk and the beach was much less populated than other areas I have visited in the Outer Banks. I highly recommend this house/location!
Manager's Response
Thank you for the terrific review of our property "Gertrude's Breakaway", the owners will be very excited that you enjoyed your stay and found the property to be comfortable and accommodating. This is one of my favorite homes in the program because it has all of the essentials for a huge family vacation while still being very close to the beach. We hope you will stay with us again at Kitty Hawk Rentals, we welcome you and the family back anytime to "Gertrude's Breakaway".

Happy campers from CO, CT, MD and PA
This is a lovely home in a quiet cul de sac, far away from road noise, very close to the ocean, with a wide uncrowded beach and gentle surf, great for young children. Kitchen was very well equipped, we cooked great meals for 16, and very important to us-we were all able to sit at one long table together. Pool was warm and clean. Groceries, go-kart racing and fun shopping in Corolla not too far away. Will gladly return here next year.
Manager's Response
"Happy Campers" pretty much says it all. "Gertrude's Breakaway" is certainly well equipped and set up for large family gatherings or multi family gatherings. Certainly being quite close to Corolla is a great plus for activities, just like being very close to the ocean is a great amenity. Please do join us for many future vacations here on the Outer Banks at "Gertrude's Breakaway".

Gertrude's Breakaway is really a "Getaway"
The house was lovely, very well designed, clean
and stocked, even down to the "slow cooker" and multiple champagne flutes.

Great Location, Great Week!
This is beautiful house in a great location. Very short walk to the beach and on a safe cut-de-sac. House had plenty of room and every amenity. Our only complaint was that several walls of house either need wiped down or repainted but the house did not appear dirty at all just may need some TLC

Absolutey Amazing Wedding House!
I just have to say this house was beyond our expectations. We pulled up and were amazed at how beautiful the house was. Each room was decorated impeccably, the beds were made, linens provided, the entire house was so clean. It was luxury at its finest! We had our wedding on the lawn and were able to use a pool as a cocktail space. Overall it was an unbelievable stay! I HIGHLY recommend the house to anyone who is having an event or just wants a luxury vacation!

Best vacation home yet!!
The first vacation with our entire family of six children, their spouses, and all 10 of our grandchildren. The layout of the house was perfect for us. We didn't even leave the house except to go to the beach which was closer than we thought it would be. It had all of the amenities that we could have asked for. Stocked with everything we could possibly need. I hated to leave this home that created so any precious memories for our family. The dining table was perfect for the Aults to have a meal together while the children either say at the bar or on the screened in porch at the picnic table. The living room was spacious enough for us to all sit comfortably am have our talent show. Many memories were made by the pool. Best house that we have rented by far

The Best House in the OBX
Second year at this house. Family's favorite word to describe this house is "AWESOME".
The owners need to invest in a new gas grill. Existing grill very rusted out. other than that, everything was perfect!

Great vacation thanks to a great house!
We had a terrific time, and this house was all that we expected and more! This is now our second annual trip to the Outer Banks with our large family (Multiple families with kids) and we've found a place to keep coming back to. We didn't find other houses that had everything this house has to offer. Huge and spacious gathering area and kitchen made gathering great. The yard is an underemphasized component. It is well maintained and flat you can play all kinds of games in the yard barefoot - very different from other houses. If you are looking for a high-end house that has every check box and more covered, this is the one. Thanks Gertrude's Breakaway!!
