Great family vacation house!
Great space for 19 family members and 2 dogs. Well appointed, clean, beautifully decorated. Hot tub and pool were clean. Private beach access. We will be back next year! A few notes.. have toilet paper with you when you arrive because the bathrooms have none. Also, the volleyball court is unusable because of all the sand spurs. Plenty of parking in the driveway. Best price for the beachfront location.

Beautiful views of the ocean!
The views of the ocean from the living room, dining room and outside decks are fantastic. We loved watching the waves, dolphins, storms, etc. The bedroom masters were ideal for our group. The kitchen was well stocked with pots pans griddle crockpot etc The pool was a nice option for the children and the hot tub for the adults. Some details could be improved such as cleaner shower curtains especially in rooms with tubs.. The front area with the tennis court wasn’t usable due to high grass, etc. There were concerns about the cleanliness of towels and bed sheets that was resolved quickly and efficiently. We are returning next year.

Ocean Dream Review
Our family of 14 enjoyed our stay at the Ocean Dream house in Corolla. We loved the fact that the house was ocean front. There was a lovely view of the ocean from the huge picture window in the living room. The house was well appointed with beach chairs and umbrellas. Unfortunately, beach towels were not provided. There were multiple decks that allowed for private time or relaxing out of the sun. The kitchen was well appointed. There were only 2 kitchen towels so we used a lot of paper towels. The huge dining room table was great for our large family. We used the smaller table for puzzles. There’s a walking path on the main road. A shopping mall with Duck Donuts and smoothie shop was only about a mile away. The beach was beautiful and not over crowded.
On the negative side, the house wasn’t as clean as we would have liked. There was a mattress pad on the floor when we walked in, stains on some of the comforters, and dust on the furniture. Each room only had two towels, hand towels, and face cloths. Some of the bathrooms didn’t have a bath mat. The half bath did not have any towels. The kitchen faucet was awful. It sputtered water causing us to get soaked every time we did the dishes. The stove top was mediocre. It took forever to boil water and some of the burners worked better than others. The shower drain in the lower level bathroom was backed up causing it to be unusable. The pool was a good size and got sun most of the day but it was very sandy. It looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in a while.
Overall, we had a good stay. The biggest pros were the size of the house, proximity to the beach, pool, and the location in Corolla. On the negative side, the house wasn’t as nice as we expected given what we paid. Loved the area and would definitely come back just don’t think we’d rent this house again.
The location was great. There were many stores, restaurant

Really enjoyed this House!
We have been vacationing in OBX for 20 years. This was one of the good ones! Really love how “on top of the water” the house was. The way it’s positioned- we were literally able to see the kids in the ocean from the living room window! Only downside if I were to find one, was there is no stairs to the pool when you are coming back from the ocean. Otherwise - really enjoyable place!

Ocean Front Awesomeness
Our family of 20 really enjoyed our stay and already rebooked the same home for next summer.
Pros: LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION! Can’t beat being right on the beach with our own private access. The kitchen and common areas were spacious. Kitchen was well-stocked. Gate at the top of the stairs was good for safety for kids and containing the dog.
Cons: No direct pool-to-beach access (had to go inside, upstairs, then out again and vice versa). This made for a sandy house since there was no hose/wash area on the 2nd level where the beach access is located. Beds somewhat uncomfortable. Volleyball area is unusable because of weeds. No early check-in.
Rental company was very responsive and quick to act on issues that came up (missing towels, AC needed repair, etc).

We are very glad you enjoyed your stay at Ocean Dream, Will! We wish we could offer early check in for all properties, but unfortunately we cannot promise a property of this size would be ready by 1pm! We will pass along your feedback about the pool to beach access to the Owner! We look forward to having you back for another great vacation!

Perfect Vacation Destination with the Family
This is a perfect beachfront property....nice view of the ocean, sunrise and sunset. We love the location.
The place need a some cleaning like... the 2 shower curtains has molds, ceiling funs were dusty, there were sand on the pool, the bunk bed mattress need to be replaced, windows need some ckeaning. Other than that it is worth the price and stay. We all had a WONDERFUL TIME. Will rent it again.

Beautiful Location
The location and layout of Ocean Dream was awesome. But there are some thing that need to be attended to. Cleaning before our arrival was not up to par at all. I have been going down to the OBX for the last 26 years and it seems after COVID hit, the cleaning of the properties between rentals has gone down tremendously. I don't believe this is an owners issue but more of the rental company to have certain standards for when the staff they hire go and cleans these homes. Not enough people but the rates keep going up. I was surprised of the wonderful gift the owners gave during our stay. We received a homemade cheesecake with cut up peaches on top. Outstanding and very thoughtful of the owners. I would probably get some of the sliding doors fixed. Then do need some TLC and the carpet at the stairs needs to be swept weekly by the cleaning crews. They are not doing it for sure.

A week at "Ocean Dream"
Sand in pool and on patio next to the pool. Pool wasn't cleaned before we arrived. People were there cleaning it for the next renters after us before we left. Other then that it was a wonderful week.

Our ocean dream
The road to our property had no road sign so was difficult to find at night.
The house was wonderful but our beach access to the beach was covered in sand and could not be used during our stay. There was also a lot of sand in the pool area as well as up close to house thus making it difficult to keep sand out of house. Ice maker was not working in kitchen but maintenance came next day. We really enjoyed the house itself. We made it a wonderful weekWith family. Thank you.

Nice house, needs a deep scrub
We were quite happy with that house. as other reviewers have noted, and I agree, the lowest marks were for cleanliness. The sinks and all the fixtures were quite clean, but the windows on the outside we're dirty, the ceiling fans were dirty, some places on the wall were dirty. it's as though the routine cleaning was done well but the house is in need of a deep scrub. it wasn't bad enough to hamper our enjoyment, but it is noticeable. The elevator worked fine, and that was our biggest need as we have a wheelchair user in the party. The view of the ocean is fantastic

Great location
Cleanliness was the only fault during our stay. Baths and kitchen were okay but obvious lack of upkeep of fans and lights ( dust and bugs). Found torn screening on patio door and damaged picnic table. Both were repaired immediately ��.
Manager's Response
It was a pleasure hosting you on your recent visit to the Outer Banks. We sincerely apologize that the housekeeping was not up to standard, as this is uncharacteristic of our level of service and will notify the housekeeping team to review our policies and procedures. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us and we hope to see you again next year!

Windham Family Reunion Review for Ocean Dream
The house was great for our Reunion. The property needs to be cleaner. The kitchen counter tops were dirty and I had to clean them. Also the inside and outside of the kitchen cabinet needed to be cleaned. The tables by the beds in the bedrooms was very dusty and we had to clean them. There was alot of cobwebs through the house. The outside need a good cleaning. We enjoy our vacation. The owner sent us a cheesecake and that was very nice surprise. Parking was great. If the house had been cleaned we would have given it a 5 star. We are renting it again with the hope that it will be cleaner.
Manager's Response
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are very sorry to hear that you were disappointed with the housekeeping service. Our aim is to provide clean and comfortable accommodations and sincerely apologize that the home needed more attention, as this is uncharacteristic of our level of service. We appreciate you as our guest and look forward to welcoming you back to deliver a better experience.

Quiet winter week with an amazing view
Perfectly relaxing week in Corolla during the off-season. Location of home could not be better. View of ocean from top two floors was post card worthy. The house has “great bones”. It is well designed and mostly with high end materials. Some items are in need of repair or replacement (dressers have broken drawers, pool sticks all need tips, missing pot holders, etc), but the ability to take ten steps to the beach or see a morning sunrise from bed made up for the little misses.
Manager's Response
Hi Ted, thank you for your review. There's just something even more special when you stay in an oceanfront home. This awesome, large home has space for everyone and so much built-in entertainment. We are sorry to hear there were a few minor misses, but it sounds like they did not slow you down at all. We will make sure the few minor issues mentioned are taken care of for all upcoming guests. We sincerely hope you continue to choose Beach Realty for your next getaway!

Great Family Getaway!
My family and I had a great getaway to Ocean Dream and the Outerbanks. It was a very cold and rainy week, but the house and the view allowed us to still have a really good vacation. The views from the third floor were amazing, the house is huge, and the pool table and foosball table were clutch. We were able to gather a lot of really good seashells and enjoy horseshoes on the days it didn't rain.
The house was very well maintained and the elevator made carrying groceries/luggage in a lot easier. The separately wrapped towels made us feel very safe during the pandemic. We couldn't find the darts for the dartboard, but a package of new darts arrived within 24 hours of our question, and it was just a question, not a request! We were really impressed and if we're every back in the Outerbanks we will be back!
The only possible improvements could be relative to housekeeping upon our arrival. Both dishwashers were still full, one with dirty dishes, and the dryer was still full with presumably clean towels. Not a big deal, but the only blemishes on an otherwise really awesome stay.
Thanks so much!

Fall Ocean get away
Very nice. Location, location! The views from the house were magnificent. We could not have been closer to the ocean - it was glorious. Living room, dining room, kitchen were nicely appointed. Beds were comfortable. The elevator was a real plus for carting luggage, etc. We were contacted several times by the property rental company - very professional. The property was clean - corner ceiling cobwebs and master bath mildew precluded a 5. Interior window blinds and deck screens could use some TLC. Overall, it was a very nice property and Beach Realty was professional and responsive. We would visit again. If I could, I'd give it a 4+, but had to choose 4 or 5.
Manager's Response
Hi Sharon, thank you for your review. There is definitely no argument that Ocean Dream is in a fantastic location! You can't beat those Oceanfront views! We're very glad to hear that our services and the home met all of your expectations and needs. Apologies for the minor issues, after a long season our homes are in definite need Winter deep cleaning and maintenance. We hope to welcome you back again next year!

Great way to abstain from coronavirus madness!
It was a much needed family vacation this year and this house was perfect for us! The location, the set up and the weather all worked out. The lovely cheese cake from the owner was a nice touch! Just a few things that could be improved like the front yard and the stairs going to the beach should be maintained better. The windows around the house could be cleaner as well. Overall, we were satisfied and will definitely recommend this property to our friends. Thanks OBX Ocean Dream!

Beautiful week at the beach!
Wonderful weather and a clear view of the ocean. This year we watched fishing boats, dolphins and birds taking advantage of the fish just past the waves directly behind the house. Additions to the kitchen were noticed and appreciated. Other update to the house were also noticed and appreciated.

Family & Friends Vacation
The view from the top floor is exceptional.We also enjoyed the cheesecakes that were delivered! The layout is also very functional.
We had a small issue with one of the bathrooms but the management team responded very quickly.
The exterior could use some TLC but after looking at prices of other oceanfront properties, it is a good value

We had a wonderful week. There were a few problems but they were addressed and fixed in a timely manner.
Manager's Response
Thank you Harry for leaving a quick review for your stay at Ocean Dreams. This beautiful ocean front home has everything a vacationing family could need. There is so much room for everyone to spread out and have their own nook. The unobstructed ocean views are priceless and having a pool ocean front is a real luxury. We are sorry you experienced any issues during your stay but we are happy to hear these issues were handled quickly and effectively. We sincerely hope to see you at the beach again soon with Kitty Hawk Rentals.

OBX Experience
We really enjoyed our week at Ocean Dream. The only issues we had were with the pool and grill. The landscapers came and weed wacked grass into the pool and there was no skimmer for us to clean it out. Also after the storm we had to call again to get the pool cleaned out and couldn't use it for 2 days because no one came. It would be helpful for there to be a skimmer for the renters to use instead of having to call every time there was an issue. Also it would be a great way to get the crabs out too. The grill was hard to use and should probably be replaced. Other than that our visit was great. The house is beautiful and location is perfect.
Manager's Response
Thank you for taking the time to review your stay at Ocean Dreams. We are so happy to hear you all had a wonderful vacation in this beautiful ocean front home in Corolla. It is well appointed with tons of room for a large family or multiple families. We are sorry to hear of the few minor issues you experienced and we will use these findings to improve the experienced offered to guests. We sincerely hope to see you at the beach again soon with Kitty Hawk Rentals.

Wonderful home!
This was our first time ocean front and Ocean Dream did not disappoint. It is a very well equipped home. There was some wear here and there, but I've come to expect that with how many people come through these homes. We had several concerns that we let the realty company know about and they addressed them the same day. Early in the week the owners delivered a cheesecake and card. I loved that homey touch. I would definitely stay here again.
Manager's Response
Being on the oceanfront is the greatest vacation spot. Just having such close access to the beach and being able to just sit and watch the ocean in all her different modes is an experience within itself. "Ocean Dreams" is a wonderful property. It is great for larger groups, but also has many places for you to just go and sit and relax and read that book, you brought along to finish. Please do join us again for your family vacation many times in the future.

Dream Vacation!
Ocean Dream was everything we could have wanted in a vacation and we already booked it again for next year! The house was beautiful. Rooms are a great size and the views are spectacular. We loved every second of our stay! We have been renting homes in OBX for many search of the right house for everyone. We found it in Ocean Dream! The outdoor property needs to be cleaned up, and the grills need replacing. Otherwise perfect!
Manager's Response
Thank you so much for letting us know that "Ocean Dream" fit your family's needs for a "Dream Vacation". This house is quite large with many places for guests to come to together or go to a quiet corner and read that book you have been trying to finish for a while. Having that majestic view of the ocean in all her fury at times and then her calm water at other times, simply perfect. Kitty Hawk Rentals is thrilled that you are returning in 2019 to "Ocean Dream" for another memorable vacation. We will certainly indicate to the owner the couple of matters that need immediate attention at the house. See your family in 2019!

Anniversary Getaway
We honeymooned at the Outer Banks 30 years ago and returned this year for our 30th wedding anniversary week. The house was wonderful! With all the typical conveniences of home PLUS an elevator to help with accessibility for both of us, there was also plenty of room for family and friends to visit over Christmas week as their schedules allowed. We had the most relaxing holiday we have ever had and the beach views were spectacular. Thank you!
Manager's Response
Congratulations on your 30th anniversary! Kitty Hawk Rentals and the owner are so pleased that your choice of "Ocean Dream" was perfect for your celebration. It is a great home and being oceanfront makes it so much more enjoyable. Getting to watch the ocean in all her glory, whether at her wildest or absolutely calm, it is just so enjoyable to sit and watch the continual changes. Hopefully you had the opportunity to see some of the water birds and dolphin in their natural habitat as well. Please join us again real soon for another relaxing vacation at "Ocean Dream" .

The Ocean Dream property worked out well for our family vacation. You can't beat the location in Corolla and having a house on the beach with a pool was wonderful. We traveled from FL, PA and NJ to be together for this vacation and had fabulous time. We would definitely recommend this house to others. P.S. Please tell the owners we loved the cheese cakes what a very nice surprise!

Ocean Dream week with family! A dream!!!!
12 adults 4 children 1 baby
A fantastic week! House had everything we needed. ( thank goodness 2 dishwashers! ) no need to go anywhere...pool, hot tub , beach right there.
Great inside space for those who wanted a break from the sun. ( and a break from other family members :-)
I do want to echo other reviewers regarding exterior of the house....needs some updating and tidying, it is just not well maintained like the interior of the house.
Oh, and realty company was attentive and very helpful!!!!

Most relaxing vacation ever!
This house is amazing! Great location. Very well equipped and nicely furnished. We didn't need all the bedrooms but the ones we used were very comfortable. The owners sent us their traditional cheesecakes which were greatly appreciated and enjoyed by all. Very clean inside. It looks like they are starting on some TLC for the outside which we understand gets beaten up by the ocean spray and sand. It did need a little TLC around the pool and the decks and railing. Beach in front of home very nice and wide. We really appreciated the beach chairs and not having to deal with the hassles of renting beach gear. We also really appreciated the towel and linen service that was included. Very helpful! Overall great house! Will rent again.
Manager's Response
Thank you for your recent review of our property "Ocean Dream", your feedback is very important to us and we appreciate your time to tell us how your stay was.

We will make sure the homeowner receives your suggestions and with your assistance we will continue to grow and improve for all of our future guests; we hope that you will give us a call here at Kitty Hawk Rentals the next time you are planning a trip to the Outer Banks!

Foley Family Reunion
Rental company was very accommodating and responsive from the moment we arrived. House is huge, comfortable, and very well appointed for a large group. The views and access to the beach is as good as it gets. We would absolutely stay again.
Manager's Response
Kitty Hawk Rentals is so pleased that "Ocean Dream" played a great part in your family reunion here on the Outer Banks and assisted your family in making some great memories to share with everyone. This house is as you say perfect for a large family with many places to gather or many places to go and just read a book and have some quiet time. Oceanfront gives the guest the access to the wonders of the ocean and a chance to see many ocean birds and dolphins in their native surroundings and that is very special as well. Please join us for many for family reunions in the future.

Wonderful trip
This is the 2nd time we rented this house. It has an amazing view. We had a group of 19 people from age 5 to age 90. There was plenty of room, an elevator for the older guests, and space for the kids to play. We highly recommend this house. Please check shower on the 1st flr (adjoins bedroom) had no hot water (sink did), 1 dbl bed on 1st needs new mattress (side near room w/ bunks), bathroom in twin room - cupboards missing pulls. It would be nice to have higher toilets for those with mobility issues. Otherwise, we could not have asked for a better place. We will be back.
Manager's Response
Thank you so much for taking time to let us know these matters, so that the owner and Kitty Hawk Rentals can move forward immediately in resolving them. Kitty Hawk Rentals is so glad to know that the house suits your family with all of its amenities and of course the amazing view of the Atlantic Ocean which is always on the move each moment of every day. We look forward to having your family back with us for many vacations in the future.

Perfect for Our Group
This was our second year in Ocean Dream, and it was just as great as the first. It is comfortable, well equipped, and has plenty of space. This is one of the few homes that can accommodate our group of 19, (three generations), without breaking our budget. The rental company was very attentive. When we called to report some very minor damage when we arrived, they sent someone to repair it almost immediately. The staff was courteous and attentive. The owner had cheesecakes delivered again this year, which just added to the overall feeling that we were appreciated as customers/tenants. We have pre-reserved this week again next year, and hope to be back for many years to come.

You owe it to yourself to give it a try.
Fabulous location and very good value. Excellent lay out in the house for families and kitchen very well equipped. Exterior not being maintained, too bad, and interior is quite nice by comparison. The view is amazing and keeping an eye on your nearly secluded beach is soooooo.... worth it!
Manager's Response
Ocean Dreams does offer its guests so many great amenities by having large rooms which can accommodate your entire group, but also places where anyone can just go and sit and relax and read that novel you have been looking forward to. Having the den on ground level is also a big plus, so you can go directly out to the pool area quickly. Having the ocean views can never be beat, getting to enjoy the ocean changing every second and seeing all the birds and hopefully some dolphins is really exciting. The owner has plans in the off season to address the exterior of the home and be ready for next rental season. We look forward to having your group visit "Ocean Dream" for many vacations in the future.

Ocean Dream 7-3-16 thru 7-10-16
Our family of 16 plus 2 dogs had a wonderful memorable time at Ocean Dream. View from the top floor was breath taking! Loads of big windows. It's location was a 10! It's layout was a 10! A perfect size for a large group. The pool and hot tub were awesome! It was more affordable than other oceanfront locations. It was very clean and the kitchen was well equipmented with utensils (had some trouble with coffee pot overflowing). Most beds were comfortable, except for the twin beds. However, the grounds, especially the volleyball area were unusable. With prickers and weeds surrounding the house. The exterior of the house needs to be painted and repaired. First impressions when we drove up had me concerned about the interior. We had trouble opening some of the sliding glass doors. Our biggest problem was the grill. I was going to call to let you know it was barely working. Either it needs repair or needs to be replaced. Overall, Ocean Dream is a keeper for us. I appreciated Beach Realty's help with all our questions throughout the year. And the special delivery of the 2 beautiful cheesecakes was such a wonderful surprise! Thank you for helping us make this family vacation one of the best for us all!
Manager's Response
We are so glad to hear that your family and your pets thoroughly enjoyed "Ocean Dream". You are absolutely right the views are great and getting to see hopefully the marine life swimming by or the pelicans and other birds on the beach is great fun for all to experience. We will certainly convey your comments about the beds and also that the grounds need to be inspected and freshened quickly. We will also review the grill and if it needs to be replaced, this owner will take care of it very quickly. Thank you for choosing Kitty Hawk Rentals and "Ocean Dream" for your vacation this year. We look forward to your family and pets joining us here on the Outer Banks for many vacations to come.

Outer Banks
Very nice. Some businesses were "closed for the season". I like Corolla least of the areas at the Outer Banks - too far from everything else. Would not recommend because of location. Will stay no further north than Duck next time.
Manager's Response
Thank you Mr. Sewell for your comments about the Corolla in the off season which is certainly not as open as it is in the in season with regards to shops & eateries. Please again call Kitty Hawk Rentals for your vacation plans in 2017 and we will certainly work with you to get to your desired area on the Outer Banks with your family.

It Really was an Ocean Dream
Loved the location! The house size and set up was wonderful. The beds and furniture were clean and comfortable. The biggest, and pretty significant issue was that all of the sliding doors slide wide enough for my Mom's wheelchair to go thru. We are luckily pretty craft and were able make a modification, but honestly should have had to. It would have been a significant problem. Overall the trip and house were great. The small issues we found were the tops of all of the ceiling fans were filthy, there were spider webs all over the outside of the house and decks...understood they just spin again, but you can tell it's been ages since last removed. Also, there should be a broom/dust pan and mop/mop bucket. We bought our own because I wanted to maintain the home's cleanliness. But truly our vacation was wonderful. None of the things are game changers, just was to make the property even better. The cheesecakes delivered were a delicious and appreciated gesture. Who ever makes them really needs to put a business card or sticker on the box for repete business. We would have ordered something else from them. Thank you very much! We hope to be back next year.

2015 family getaway
Perfect family getaway, the big open floor plan was perfect for hanging out and family dinners. Views of the ocean from top floor were amazing. A little updating and cleaning on the outside of the house would be nice but overall my family and I were very satisfied with our stay at Ocean Dream.

nice house, great view
we were there for the week leading up to July 4; hit it perfect this year. Weather was great, house was great, kitchen has everything you could need including a margarita machine. View is great up and down the beach. Had some issues but they were addressed very quick. Only downside: disappointed in volleyball court and horseshoe pits...they're good but there are so many weeds in the area instead of sand, that you can't play barefoot. House could use some TLC on outside re: paint etc. but all in all a good house.

Perfect
This property is exactly what our family wants in a beach house. It is comfortable, non-pretentious, and very spacious. We had 17 people, ranging from 5-57 years old, and were able to all sit down together for meals, but also had enough room to get out of each other's way! Very well appointed, especially the kitchen. The owners supplied plenty of everything. We can't wait to go back to Ocean Dream again next summer.

Ocean Dream is a Dream
We spent a week at Ocean Dream and had a superb time. The amenities in the house were great, the view was superb, and the home was clean. The kitchen was spectacular with every possible high end cooking device possible. We will definitely be back with this house. The property location is very private yet minutes from the grocery store and restaurants for those night out.

Great For Extended Families
There were 14 in our group, 11 adults, 2 teenagers and 2 preteens. The location and views from the great room cannot be matched. The house was clean and the kitchen was better stocked than any we've stayed in for the past 10 years. My one suggestion is improve the outside appearance to make it match the outside.

Dream Vacation
Ocean Dream means it was an Ocean Dream! The house was beautiful. Very clean, kitchen had everything you could ever need. Don't bring anything...they have it!!! I missed the part about bringing your own bathroom to those reading this...bring your own bathroom tissue!! The house was a wonderful place to bring family together. There were 18 of us from 4 months to 74 years old. From Ohio, Wisconsin, and South Carolina. I was really happy with the beach chairs that were provided and the portable cribs. I cannot say enough wonderful things about how spacious the house is and how perfect it was for our family. Our family kept saying book it again for next year!!! Thank you Ocean Dream!!!

Really nice stay
The house was very clean when we got there and everything was present that was supposed to be (bed linens and towels). We loved that it was right on the beach, even if the ocean water was to cold for swimming, the pool and the hot tub more than made up for that. A person came about half way through the week to clean the pool and hot tub of sand, which was a nice surprise and we even got a cheesecake gift from the owners. How nice! All in all, we had a wonderful time and didn't want to leave!
