Great place!
The location and property itself were absolutely fantastic. It had everything we needed and then some and what it didn't have we were able to pick up at the grocery store less than a minute away. It was very clean and spacious we absolutely loved it!

Family Week at Corolla Summer 2023
Plenty of room for 10 people. The kitchen was well equipped. The pool and the hot top were cleaned twice while we were staying at the house (6 nights). The house could use some deep cleaning. There were spider webs in many rooms. One thing to consider is the distance to the beach. It is a hike to get to the beach so be aware especially if you have kids. Also, there were no instructions in the house for things like trash pick-up days (Wednesdays & Saturdays). Overall we all enjoyed our stay :)

Beautiful Home, Interesting Lack of Amenities
Overall we LOVED the actual house, the location, the neighborhood. It was a great house to have young kids as we could all hang out on the top floor while the kids took naps/went to bed. My biggest critique was the complete lack of amenities. I grew up going to the Jersey Shore and it is common practice for basic amenities like toilet paper/paper towels/hand soap/trash bags to be provided. We arrived at 8 pm and had exactly 3 toilet paper rolls total for a house with 5 bathrooms. I called the property manager and they confirmed that is all we get. No soap, nothing. Definitely frustrating to not be able to do something as simple as wash my hands on arrival to a home I paid nearly $4000 for. Aside from that, I do feel that there were so many great things that WERE provided, such as board games and beach accessories. It is hard to know if this is the owner's decision to deprive guests of amenities or the property manager deciding for them. My only other mention is that the beach is not very walkable as you cannot really cut through the housing community. We anticipated being able to walk there so that was a little disappointing. That said, it is doable, just a detour to get there and would take much more time than driving.

Family Vacation
Great location! Close to the beautiful beach, close to stores/food. Really nice having the pool to swim in later in the day, a little small but still enjoyable. Only complaints...it could of been cleaner, the fridge wouldn't stay cold and could use some updating. Overall great trip, the location and beach made up for the other stuff.

Great Place to Stay with a Large Group!
We stayed here with our friends and their families and it was wonderful! Although the home wasn't perfect, there was some broken furniture etc, the layout of the house was perfect for us and the pool and hot tub were great! The location was also wonderful! We would definitely stay here again.

First Time OBXers
This was our first time in OBX. Free parking at the beach entrances was nice but would have loved to have walked over which you can do but it would be a bit of a hike with all your beach needs. A car was needed to get to shops etc. but the drive wasn’t too far. The pool and hot tub were pluses with 4 of our 7 days ( minus 2 driving days so total of 1 1/2 nice days) of rain. We swam and used the hot tub despite the rain. Played lots of games and put together the beautiful turtle puzzle ( warning a piece is missing but fun anyway). Nice house overall with perfect size, rooms and bathrooms for our family. Thank you to our hosts.

Really Enjoyable
Left gloomy Cleveland Ohio for fun in the sun at the OBX. Threw a trip together kind of last minute and the whole process was seamless. From VRBO to Vacassa payments were made and good communication was had the entire trip if needed. The house everything we expected and more, no issues and property was well taken care of inside and out. This easily accommodated 4 adults 5 children 13-3yo and a dog.

Overall, it was a very nice stay
The location of the home was very nice - a short walk to a pier that was teaming with turtles, a snake and an otter. It was less than a mile to the public beach. The home was nicely kept. Only mild "complaints" were: the home was pretty clean, but not totally set up nicely - pool chairs was scattered, dishwasher was left full, and there were some cobb webs. Also, the checkout was not totally clear - we weren't sure whether we should stack all linens, leave them lay, etc. Not a big deal, but we wanted to make sure we left the home with the next folks in mind. Overall, a nice stay and worth the price of admission. Glad to be able to take our dog, as well. (He loved it most of all!)

GOOD LOCATION
Bathrooms need updating. Rugs need good cleaning or replace. Midge bugs (look like mosquitos) redsidue all over the exterior door screens and door frames. Looked like mold. Should have been cleaned before we arrived. Inspected by maintenance and he said house should be power washed. Best for eight not 10 or 12 people. Four great bedrooms. Fifth ground level with a day bed. Selected this house because it is pet friendly. On reservation entered pets. Paid full rental cost and after paying was told there was a $20.00 pet fee per night for each dog plus fees and taxes. While we were there I checked the listing again and their pet policy said pet costs included in rental cost. I called the rental office and after a short wait was told I did not note pets on the reservation. I sure did. Why would I rent a pets welcome place if I didn't have a pet. In spite of it all we had a wonderful time there.

Problem
Everything was good except problem with AC. It wasn’t the air problem but the management company lying to me. They said we would have someone call within an hour. This happened twice and then then next morning the repair company called me and insinuated I was to pay for repair. This was unacceptable.

Loved our stay at Diamond in the Ruff
This was our first trip to the Outer Banks, and we had a great time! We had 11 people (6 adults, 5 kids) and one dog, and the house had plenty of space for our group. It was just as pictured, was very clean and had everything that we needed. The pool area was a big hit, and even nicer than the photos. We weren't able to find a house manual, as we've often seen in other VRBO properties. This would be a helpful addition, to provide special house instructions (e.g., garbage pickup days, how-tos on the various remotes, etc.) and recommendations for local restaurants/activities.
