Great 1st time vaca in Corolla
Our stay was great and the accommodations were perfect for our family. We ran into a few minor issues, but they were all quickly resolved by the owner. Just a note, its tough sleeping in the loft if you plan to go to bed before the rest of the group...the noise carries and its quite loud. Also, since its a loft, there is no door, so the light can be bothersome too. Beautiful home in the perfect location. Enjoyed the hot tub and pool table a lot! Loved the trolley service too for getting to and from the pool area. Great time for all!!

What a great place to stay! The home was beautiful -kitchen was fantastic and stocked to the gills with anything and everything we needed to cook and make cocktails. Bedrooms each with a bathroom were perfect and comfortable. Boys loved playing pool and hanging in the hot tub. The beach is an easy walk and having the convenience of the trolley and all the amenities of Corolla Light made things even better. We had a small problem when we first got there and the owner was on it within an hour of us making contact. We highly recommend and would stay again when returning to Corolla!

Our Business Model at Santorini Sunsets is to provide the best accommodations possible for our guests. We do appreciate the feedback you have provided as we use all the feedback from our guests to assist with improvements in providing a great vacation home for all to enjoy. We are truly sorry you feel this way, but we are not surprised. Your emailing was way too excessive and began even before your arrival. Nothing seemed to bring you comfort. We are always happy to hear from our guests and help with any issues if there are any; but your emails were overwhelming and unusual. You seemed to have a predisposed attitude of unsatisfaction from the beginning . Your review consists of issues you were aware of prior to booking. For starters you stated that there are too many steps and a loft with no door, but this is what is advertised in our listing and many people appreciate the charm of the loft in a beach house. The mattresses are all brand new and we have had no complaints other than from you. It is not our responsibility to provide you with toilet paper. Sorry, but you need to either make a trip to the store or bring enough with you. We ensure there are rolls in each bathroom for every new guest, but resupply is on you. We have not had any issues with road noise. You cannot get around vehicles with modified exhaust mufflers, especially pickup trucks and Jeeps heading to the 4'x4 area. Then you complained about “water bugs “at 11:53pm one day prior to departure but refused to let our Pest Control Team in the house to investigate or treat. You also refused to show them a picture of what was a “water bug". Santorini Sunsets is contracted with a Pest Control company as a preventative measure and treated every two weeks at minimum. If it were a problem, you should have let our team come in and handle it, but again you did not. Thank you for acknowledging how nicely decorated our home is, as we take pride in all our furnishings. You failed to acknowledge how clean the house is, the great location and all the wonderful amenities. The only thing one can say at this point is the that it does not appear that anything would have made you happy and the fact that you spent every day emailing us instead of getting into your vacation is sad. While we strive to make our guests happy; at this point I am certain that nothing we could have done or offered would have satisfied you . In the future, please consider staying in a hotel. They provide Toilet paper.

Lovely week at Santorini Sunset! House was great size for our family (two parents, four teen/adult kids).Can’t beat the amenities of Corolla Light… we are regulars at this resort. Kitchen was a dream to cook in and they are well stocked with plates, cups, etc. Grill was a plus and hot tub too! On the downside, some of the furniture is falling apart (chairs at table and lower bunk bed) and too bad about the grime in the master shower,, but they were the only things that really needed attention. Overall, a great stay! Thank you!

Perfect location!
The house was clean and had everything one would need when away from home. You are in the heart of Corolla, and everything is accessible. We never used the trolley, but it would be a definite plus for people with teenagers. Bonus! We drove on the beach and took pictures with the wild horses.

Great Corolla Rental
We had a blast kicking off our summer vacation at Santorini Sunsets. Part of the Corolla Light Resort community, our rental was an end unit townhouse with ample room for our family of 5. It was spotless and super clean, and so convenient to the beach and sound, resort amenities, bike baths and walking distance to historic Whalehead and the Currituck Lighthouse. It was a perfect home base for our family to enjoy the Shad St beach access, and we spent plenty of time at the Oceanfront pools and grill. Would absolutely return and the owners were great to communicate with.

Family Vacation
The house was extremely clean and beautiful! The kitchen is stocked for whatever you need. We also took full advantage of the Corolla Light facilities, which were great for our young children. Jojo was very responsive any time that we needed anything and took care of things quickly. The only thing I would point out to future guests with young children is that the stairs and balcony railings are not safe for children so you may want to consider bringing your own gates or barriers. This is obviously only relevant to people who are traveling with kids 3 and under.

Family vacation with my two children and there families with three grandchildren
House was great, plenty of room, my grandkids loved it, they enjoyed the hot tub. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook many family meals. Only negative was communication between crew that cleaned house with owner/manager of property. They were accusing us of not leaving by 9:00am which was check out. And we clearly had left before check out time. I believe the cleaning crew mislead owner.

Nice house. Incredibly well stocked (kitchen especially)
We had a great time and the house was very nice. We had some other family that was staying in Corolla the same week and they came by occasionally to visit. This apparently became an issue when we were contacted by the owners and found out that there were neighbors watching the property all week and reporting back to the owners. I completely understand the need to have someone keeping an eye out, but in the end it seemed a little creepy.

Laura, We are so happy you enjoyed your stay at Santorini Sunsets and that the house exceeded your expectations. We take great pride in ensuring that the property is kept clean and well maintained. In light of the fact that you had 2 dogs inside the property and you checked out over 30 minutes late delaying the cleaning crew’s ability to do their job which not only impacted our property but several other properties thereafter. We must be considerate of the fact that these people work very hard and must maintain a very tight cleaning schedule for not only our property but for several other properties. Extra cleaning fees were required to remove the pet hair and dander from the two dogs that you had in the property of which we did NOT CHARGE you. This is in direct conflict with our lease agreement and business model. Although we love dogs we must be considerate of other guests who have pet allergies. We also accommodated you with an early check in-time but were very clear of the strict 9:00am checkout time that must be adhered too. You have to understand that your late check out resulted into a late check in time for other guests. We do not feel that it is “creepy “when permanent residents in the community provide us with feedback on the status of our property especially issues and matters that violate our lease agreement. Again we are glad you enjoyed your stay.

Wonderful week at Santorini Sunsets!
Santorini Sunsets was the perfect place for our family of four to enjoy Corolla. The beautiful home was clean, well-maintained, had plenty of space, and included a pool table and hot tub. It was conveniently located in Corolla Light Resort and was a short walk, bike ride or shuttle trip from the beach, pools, fitness center, tennis, shopping and restaurants. We highly recommend renting bikes as an easy way to get around. The accommodations would be great for a larger family or two families as well. The property was also just a short drive from the 4x4 area. Highly recommend!

Outstanding
This is our 4th year in Corolla at this property ! Again it was amazing ! The property has ample room for our growing family and a great location. We used to come with our kids and their friends . Now they bring their spouse or significant other ! My mom stays downstairs in what she calls her “little apartment”. The pool table , deck, patio and hot tub are great for winding down in the evening ! Corolla Light amenities that come with the property can’t be beat!! The trolley stop is steps away from the property to take you to the pool or private beach! We will definitely be back next year!

Fantastic week in the OBX!
My husband and I with our 2 children and inlaws just finished an amazing stay at Santorini Sunsets! The beautifully decorated house was the most well-equipped rental we have ever stayed at! From kitchen tools to spices to hand and dish soap, everything we could imagine was available in the home. We were only a few minutes ride or walk to the public beach access and only slightly further to the Corolla Light Resort Oceanfront Complex. The resort was full of amenities and activities, completing our amazing experience! We highly recommend renting Santorini Sunsets and Francis and Jojo were a pleasure to rent from!

Great beach house
The house had everything we needed. Drawers and cupboards were so organized! 8 to 10 minutes walk to the beach. About 12 minutes walk to restaurants and shops. We had a 6 yo and a 7 month old baby and felt right at home! The host sent us a list of restaurants and shops, which was so helpful! We can’t wait to be back again!

Last minute booking
We came down to Corolla for a late summer vacation and were very lucky to find Santorini Sunsets. The location was perfect with lots to do within walking distance. The owner was friendly and easy to work with. My wife and daughter were very happy with our choice of property and location. We'll be back...

It was an excellent property with wonderful space for my family which includes my husband and I, 2 adult children and their significant others. We all had separate bedrooms and bathrooms and the openness of the floor plan gave us the feel of lots of space. We would definitely come back.

Corolla Beach Trip
We had a great time at Santorini Sunsets! The place was clean on arrival and communication with the property manager/owners was great. The kitchen was well set up with plenty of cookware/utensils and the living space was great. We loved that the Corolla Light staff came and took out and returned our garbage cans; simple services that make you happy! The duplex was quiet; no noise from our neighbors. We were 4 blocks from the beach access so it was about a 8-10 minute easy walk. There was also beach access parking 3 blocks from the house so, if you want to drive, you can. We found a running trail along the bay directly across the street from the house which allowed us to exercise in the shade for most of our runs and the trail took us to the historic lighthouse and old town Corolla area near several bars and restaurants (about 1 mile from home). We had a great time and would rent this property again.
