What an absolutely beautiful place to unwind and soak up the last bits of summer. The house was exactly as advertised, well stock and fully equipped with everything you could possibly need. Impeccably clean, and very cozy. We especially loved the many porch options and having private access to both the pool and the hot tub. Megan was super helpful from start to finish, and we can’t wait to return!! If 6 stars were an option - this place earned them!!

A great place to stay, an easy and enjoyable walk to the beach. The house and surrounding property was well maintained. We had a fantastic family vacation here!

This beach home was the perfect vacation getaway for our family, including our 18 mth old grandbaby. This was the most well appointed beach house we’ve ever rented (and we’ve been renting for 40 years). Having plenty of beach chairs, umbrellas, toys, pool floats was a huge help and made packing a breeze. The house had everything you would need for a baby too! The walk to the beach was 6 minutes with baby in tow. There were plenty of restaurants (La Dolce Vita was great) and food options to choose from. Megan was a great host, communicated clearly and was very responsive. We highly recommend and hope to stay here again in the future! Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Love, love, love this property! An amazing house and host equals an amazing vacation! Absolutely loved this dog friendly home! It was perfect for what our family of 10 + 2 dogs needed in order for us to have an amazing vacation. The house was super clean, and provides everything needed for a comfortable stay. I would 100% rent this property again!

This was our 2nd annual OBX vacation to Go Your Own Wave in Corolla and I cannot say enough wonderful things about this location, this home, and the home owner, Megan. She has answered any questions and requests promptly and has helped ensure we’ve had a terrific experience. The house has absolutely everything you need to enjoy a wonderful week, including sand toys and pool toys for the kiddos. Can’t wait to book again for next year. Two trips next year, summer and fall! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Could not recommend Megan's beautiful home more! Our extended family had a wonderful week in Corolla. The home came with literally all you could need and more especially when traveling with children. It is in a perfect location for a beach day and the pool area is amazing for hanging out with the family. We are already planning our next trip back!! 10/10 recommend. Thank you!

Our family was lucky enough to spend two wonderful weeks at Go Your Own Wave! What a marvelous find! From the moment we arrived, the house was so welcoming! We were greeted with a fun gift bag of goodies and a very generous free dozen bagels from Lighthouse Bagels for each week we stayed! How yummy! Megan did a wonderful job communicating with our family and frequently checked in to see if there was anything we needed to make our stay more comfortable. The house was so well stocked with everything imaginable! Megan did not miss anything! Our family stayed during an extremely hot week in June and thoroughly enjoyed the pool when it was too hot to venture onto the beach. Our family enjoyed morning and evening strolls on the beach and the distance to get to the beach was just amazing! We even were able to see a sea turtle's nest one evening. It was a very special two weeks, and we could not have asked for a better place to spend our vacation. When you book Go Your Own Wave, you will be treated to a wonderful oasis! We loved the views from the decks and the ample seating throughout the house. The beds were extremely comfy and everyone enjoyed their stay!! Thank you so much!! We will be back!!

Just finished up a week staying at this lovely beach house. Very accommodating for families with little ones. Providing all the supplies and equipment for babies and small children is so appreciated. Kitchen is beautiful and equipped with all you need to cook for a crowd. Long, beautiful quartz countertop peninsula was great for preparing meals and serving appetizers, and buffet style meals. Grandkids enjoyed eating their meals here too! Bedrooms are spacious with comfortable mattresses. Lots of amenities in all the bathrooms. We found we brought too much of “ our stuff” as you already provided much of it. The pool area was enjoyed by all! You can tell the owners take pride in this home and truly want their guests to feel at home. Thank you Megan for a wonderful experience!

“Go Your Own Wave” is a well-appointed and cared for property. You can tell thought and intention was paid for all aspects of the property, whether it’s the “welcome kit” you receive when you arrive, the child safety aspects or the plethora of beach and pool toys. We’ll be recommending and looking to stay here again for a future visit to Corolla.

Felt very comfortable as soon as we walked in the door. There is an Ocean beach vibe throughout the whole house. Easy walk to the beach. Plenty of pool toys and beach gear are in the storage closet. On the one rainy day during our stay we played board games that were provided. The kitchen has everything you would want or need to make a great meal. Such a fun week. We would definitely stay here on our next trip to OBX. Thank you!

This house has so many amenities. The well appointed kitchen is fully stocked. The decks are fabulous for puppy play, coffee, reading, brunch. Lower deck for shade and upper deck for sun. The outdoor shower had great water pressure and was hot! The steps coming off the deck are convenient for taking the dogs out to the yard. The pool and hot tub were clean. Very nice -close to beach access. We appreciate that the grounds were clean and neat. The closet full of beach equipment is a super plus! If we had any needs or questions Megan was quick to respond with an answer or a solution.

We Will Definitely Return!

We had a great stay at Megan’s place in the Outer Banks. The house was thoughtfully put together, clean and well maintained. It had all the supplies we needed from kitchen essentials to beach gear, making our stay comfortable and convenient. Megan clearly put a lot of effort into creating a welcoming space. We really enjoyed our time there and would recommend it to anyone visiting Corolla.

We had a relaxing and fun time at this house. There are so many small conveniences around every corner, so it feels like home away from home. The location was a short walk to the beach and close to shops and restaurants. The heated pool and hot tub were so nice, and the amount of pool floats and kids toys made it so enjoyable. The very best part was not having to bring a crib, high chair, baby monitor, outlet covers, etc because the owner thought of everything. We had such a nice time and would love to go back again.

This home was beautiful and everything we hoped it would be. We had a very short walk to the beach but they provide wagons to take your beach things with you. This house had everything we could need for the beach and in the kitchen. The pool was clean and a great option for us on the windy days we couldn’t get in the ocean. Shops and food are really close so that’s another plus! I rate this home 10/10.

This was a perfect family and pet friendly home. It is safe, quiet, and close to the beach. We loved the decor, cleanliness, layout, pool, and breeze off the top deck.

We were all impressed with the details throughout the home. From the very well stocked kitchen to the sound machine in the bedrooms to the night lights in the bathrooms. It met all our needs and exceeded our needs with regards to making sure the home was safe for the littlest family members. They had outlet covers, a crib, two high chairs which got used and also gates for the stairs! Highly impressed. Saving the best for last - our host told us she would let us know if we could access the house earlier and she ACTUALLY DID let us know! Great home Megan!

We had an absolutely wonderful family vacation at Go Your Own Wave! To begin, Megan’s guidebook was extremely thorough and helpful when getting ready for our trip. We also quickly realized how great the location of the house was— very close to groceries, shopping, and most importantly- the beach. We enjoyed the roomy, comfortable bedrooms that were well-spaced out to accommodate our large, extended family. The kitchen is completely equipped with everything we needed to prepare meals. However, our most favorite part of the house was the pool area and beach/pool gear closet. It had absolutely everything we needed to enjoy a sunny, comfortable, and lovely family vacation.

Go Your Own Wave didn’t disappoint !! We had the best time in Corolla. From the pool to the beach. It’s a quick walk and the house is beautiful. Our fav coffee spot is the top deck off the kitchen. The kitchen is top notch and has everything you need to cook like you are in your own home.
