About The Owner

My husband and I love the 4 wheel area of the outer banks. The horses, the ocean and the wildlife is spectacular. This is our dream vacation home and hope that you will enjoy it as much as we do.

The Owner purchased this house in 2011
Why The Owner chose Corolla

Our family has been coming here for years. When we retired, we found a place we loved and made it ours.

What makes this house unique

Every morning we have coffee on the decks and watch the horses go by or walk down to the ocean and watch the dolphins. It doesn't get much better than this.

The acccommodations were exactly as stated--couldn't have asked for more. It has all the comforts of home. The comfort level of the memory foam mattresses was definitely thumbs up. Cooking for the family was done with ease with every appliance you could possibly need. The wildlife was also a definite bonus. The owner was always accessible/responsive via phone and email. Can't wait to stay again. Outstanding.

Great Time, Great Place

We stayed at the Red Octopus recently with some adult friends. The house is newly remodeled with many beautiful wood surfaces. It is rustic enough to give guests the "vacation feeling" while having all the amenities (hot tub, beautiful and functional kitchen, comfortable beds and furniture) to make livin easy.
Walking the nearby beach in the winter gets your heart pumping while your mind clears. Seeing the hawks in the sky over the water is a visual that I'll long remember. I had a great time. Great place.

Owner's Response: So glad you liked the Red Octopus! We love it and are always glad when others feel the same way. Come back again!

Perfect Winter Getaway

5 of 5
Submitted: February 22, 2013 Stayed: February 2013
Our recent stay at the Red Octopus was a wonderful winter break. Every feature of this home was designed for the comfort and enjoyment of its guests. My husband and I love to cook and found the kitchen phenomenal. The gorgeous beach goes on forever and we didn't have to fight the summer crowds. In fact, we were sometimes the only people in sight enjoying the sound of the waves, the sun glittering on the water and the wildlife. The bedrooms are good sized and the beds extremely comfortable. Slept like babies after enjoying all that crisp, fresh air. In the evenings, we enjoyed soaking in the hot tub and gazing at the stars. And yes, the ponies come right up to the house! What a lovely way to connect with nature and leave the stress behind!
Owner's Response: Thank you so much for the lovely review. We try very hard to make our home a true home away from home for our guests. Happy to have you and hope to see you there again.

We absolutely love the outerbanks! This property is in a great location only about 4 miles in the sand.
The house itself is very well appointed as stated in the homeowners description. The house is newly renovated and they have done a beautiful job. We found the house very comfortable and clean too.
Always have a camera handy you never know when you will be amazed by horses right in your yard!
We cant wait for summer 2013!

Perfect getaway home!

5 of 5
Submitted: August 24, 2012 Stayed: August 2012
We loved this house! It was perfectly tucked away on a private part of the beach. Felt like we were on our own little island. Definitely make sure your 4x4 vehicle has enough ground clearance to get to the location. Seen plenty of bumpers and parts from vehicles ripped off of cars. I recommend buying the water thats offered or buy gallons of water, the tap water has a pungent egg smell and its definitely not for making coffee or brushing your teeth with. The kitchen in the house is beautiful!!! Fully supplied with any utensils you may need. The rooms were very clean and nicely decorated. The king size bed spoiled us! The central air was a blessing!!! It was very warm out and coming home from a day at the beach to a nice cool house felt great! The hot tub was a nice way to relax at night, my niece pretty much lived in it the whole week...although you need to watch out for the frogs they also like to rendezvouz in the hot tub. Bring plenty of anti bug repellant, they love to bite! The horses were so beautiful. They really do come right to your doorstep. The description said you could see dolphins from the deck, dont know about that one its pretty far off the beach. But I would highhhhhly recommend staying at this house. We all loved it!

Owner's Response: Thank you so much for the kind words. Glad you like the home, I know we love it too. The water has a system that apparently needed some tweaking and we have someone coming out to take care of it. Thanks again.
