This was the perfect beach house for us and our 3 great grandchildren. All the bedrooms are on the same floor which was wonderful to have our little ones close and not on another floor. As we are older, not having endless steps was definitely a plus! It was just a short walk to the beach and we loved the private pool! The only negative, the mattresses were not very comfortable.

Wonderful place to stay!!

We had a great week staying at Cactus FLower. The rooms are good size, the house was very clean. The water pressure (and the outdoor shower!!) were great. There are no "extras" in the house (extra towels, seasonings in the kitchen, etc) but it is stocked with kitchen tools. My only thing is that I didn't like that we had to make the beds once we arrived. I had to make 6 beds after driving 13 hours....when charge for a cleaning fee I feel as though that should be included.

Good location, fantastic pool, perfect space for small family

House was great for a small family, pool was perfect for our needs. House was a little outdated with kitchen items but had an ice maker so that was a plus. Beds were hard and not what we expected for a vacation. House was cleaned (besides under the beds- we found many of items to include prescription meds at the foot of the bed) and carpet hasn’t been cleaned in ages- our feet were black within a few minutes. Vents were black from condensation but filters seemed new.

Home was clean and close to the beach. What we really enjoyed was the pool which is very private. We have had homes in the past where people walking by could see right into the pool area, but that is not the case with this home. It is a nice home for a small group of people.

Nice house, great location, happy and satisfied

Overall everything was great. If you plan to cook a lot in the house, keep in mind that there is no gas grill, only charcoal. The skillets are not great, everything sticks to it, cooking eggs was a challenge. And if you are a tea drinker like me, there is no kettle. These are minor things. Overall I recommend. The location is great, ery close to the beach. The pool was nice and clean. And solar heated. The shower downstairs has hot water, so you can wash of the sand after the beach very comfortably. And it's very clean considering that’s pet friendly. You can’t even tell that any pets were ever allowed. A huge plus for a dog owners. Thanks! <br/>

The house needs updated bad. The house had an musty ordor. The pool needs painted or something, it looked dirty but I think because it needed painting. Thank the office staff for giving us a roll of paper towels and a roll of toilet paper because they did not furnish us with anything but towels which there was enough but I had to wash. There was a liquid soap dispenser by the kitchen sink but it was empty, the owner could have at least filled the soap dispenser. The only thing that was left outside for our entertainment was beach chairs and 1 basketball and one volley ball. The house was walking distance from the house but I will pick a house with oceanfront the next time. It was really nice to have the pool if it hadn't looked dirty. The pool man came and looked and turned around and left except to ask "What's your dogs name"? This house was just o.k. but I expected more for what I paid! I would not rent it again.

We had a satisfactory stay at Cactus Flower. However, the pool was not very welcoming as it looked very unclean. There were not any pool cleaning supplies and it did not appear to be appealing to get into. That was one of the main reasons that we chose this property. Also, the home could use much more storage space in the bathrooms. With a single sink in the master bedroom, and the possibility of six people using that sink/bathroom, extra shelving for items and hooks for towels would greatly reduce the stress of this extremely tight space. Also, the coffee pot was not working and luckily there was a spare in the closet, but a better quality brewing system would be a plus. The location of the property was a plus. Owner would benefit from updating this property.

This was our first time in Corolla and this was the PERFECT house for my small family. There were only 5 of us so we had plenty of room to spread out. It could easily accommodate a few more people though. The pool was fantastic and the walk to the beach was very short. The house looked exactly like the pictures on the website - with the exception of the stove is now upgraded to a flat top - even better! Our only very small complaint was the mattress in the master bedroom. It was too hard/firm for our tastes and my husband and I ended up on the couch a few nights. But the couch is very comfortable. The master bathroom was a little small but manageable. We would definitely consider coming back to this house again sometime.

From the first minute you walk into the house you know you are at the beach. Everything about this house screams vacation! The pool was nice when it was to late to stay at the beach. the covered porch was a nice from the hot sun. We were sad to leave at the end of our 7 days. Great time and easy walk to the beach. It really is so close to the beach.
Dear Kathleen
Thank you for taking the time to review CACTUS FLOWER. Isn't this just a beautiful home? And so close to the beach as well!
I love the pool area, too. So relaxing and a perfect way to end a day at the beach.
We can't wait to see you again next year

Good location, close beach/shopping/mini-golf etc. ideal for small families - small rooms, not much room in kitchen for groceries etc. Rooms look just like the pictures. Pool was very nice - warm, which was perfect for us.
Dear Keith,
Thank you for choosing to stay at WH974- Cactus Flower and I am glad to hear that your stay with us was a memorable one! We look forward to welcoming you back to the beach in the near future.

The weather for the week was perfect. The house was a little small (only 2 bathrooms) but other than that it was very nice. Didn't have neighbors right on top of you and the horseshoes, basketball and volleyball were loads of fun! I wouldn't say it has direct beach access. It is a walk to the beach.
Dear Jane,
Delighted you had such a great stay at CACTUS FLOWER! The direct beach access, from Perch Street, is just one home away making this a one in a million OBX vacation home!
I bet you loved the private pool and "extra" fully equipped kitchen too.
All of us can't wait to see you again real soon! Hey, how about returning this fall?

This home is no highly fancy vacation rental but it was cozy and had everything we needed and wanted.<br/>I would expect the owners to remodel soon since it is stuck in the 1980's.
Dear Kathleen,
