We had a wonderful time in Corolla at The Villages. Very much appreciated the amenities.. tennis, pools, gym etc. The house accommodated us well and we were so happy to have our dog with us! The night we arrived there was a swarm of midges around the house. I've been coming to OBX for 5 years and have never seen anything like it! Thankfully it never happened again. However there were bugs at every turn, stuck to everything! Then the spiders came out to eat the midges and they were everywhere. Why don't the management companies schedule a power wash half way through the summer? As an August renter I feel unappreciated. The same is true for the overall cleaning of the house. While the house was acceptable, it was not as clean as I would expect considering the steep $450 fee and pet fee on top of that. One of the coffee pots had been stashed in a lower cabinet full of an old coffee filter that had turned moldy. Disgusting. I am sure July renters don't encounter that. The best part of the house is the grass yard. It is beautiful and we had many corn hole and volleyball matches. Sadly, one of the biggest down sides was the pool. They installed a very tall fence for privacy I assume, but there is no air flow or breeze, ever. There was also a big wasp problem. The management team knew about it because there was wasp spray right next to the pool. My son was stung twice the last couple of days we were there, so not sure we will return to this property. It made using the pool and hot tub virtually impossible. I don't mean to sound whiny because we did have a great time. I just appreciate detailed reviews myself. Overall, it's a great house, great location but better maintenance is recommended if you want to continue to charge as much as the ocean side does. I was also disappointed we were never notified on check-in time. The description says 4pm, but then they changed it to 6pm. And yet, we felt rushed out with maintenance waiting in the driveway for us to leave.
