Great spot for a beach getaway!

Property is new and clean in a great location. We could see the ocean from the kitchen/living room and saw horses from the house multiple days. The arcade games and shuffle board table were big hits too! Excellent, proactive communication from the owner. All contributed to a great stay!

Can’t Wait to Go Back

My family spent a week here at the end of March for my granddaughter’s 10th birthday. We had an amazing vacation, and part of that was this beautiful property.The layout of the house is great for families. We loved the large open space on the top level, and all of us spent a lot of time with shuffleboard and PacMan! In addition, it was well-stocked with everything clearly labeled. We were able to settle right in without having to search for anything.Evan was amazing to work with. He was very responsive to texts, emails, and phone calls. The welcome packet included all the information we needed.We feel like our needs were anticipated and met. So we definitely will be staying here when we Cole back.

Great stay!

Super fun trip and great accommodations. We travelled to OBX from across the country and couldn’t bring many amenities. This house had everything we needed and made it a stress free vacay. Location was ideal. Beach was quiet and relaxing. Horses were always around. Even saw a sea turtle nesting!

Amazing property and location

Our first trip to the Outer Banks was amazing, and this house helped make it that way. The house is beautiful, clean, and well stocked. We saw the horses every day, and twice while sitting in the hot tub they just walked by. It's a quick walk to the beach or drive. Evan was an amazing host down to the detailed Welcome Packet. I will definitely be back and staying here again.

An amazing experience!

The home is beautiful! The location made it an amazing experience. Traveling on the beach to get there and then so many beautiful homes built beyond the dunes. You definitely have to have 4wd or AWD with some clearance. The owner was very responsive. The home was well equipped for a comfortable stay away from home. Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Super Fun - Must have 4x4

Great new house - spacious living area - nice kitchen and good beds. Can drive to the beach with all your beach gear (bring your own - house doesn't have much) but not too far to walk (need to walk down the sandy road and up and over the dune - watch for trucks/jeeps!). We were glad we rented a 4x4 and didn't take the advice of the host or we would've been one of the $900 tow truck customers. There is soft sand, rough sand, deep puddles - regular AWD won't cut it. Unique beach experience for sure - had a ball - and the horses visit the property daily which is really magical.

This was a vacation, not a trip

This area was truly remarkable. We traveled to Corolla with our four daughters (11, 8, 5, and 5). This house is very kid friendly. We saw the wild horses each day. There is a herd that must “live” close to this area. The house was extremely clean and comfortable. The beds were comfortable, kitchen beautiful, and our favorite part was the outdoor shower. The 4x4 beach is extremely close to the house, a 5 minute walk, or 1 minute drive. You definitely want to be prepared with groceries and essentials. The drive to town is 30+ minutes. Having 4WD on your vehicle should be mandatory, we aired down our tires and had no issues. Owner was super responsive on any questions or issues that we had. We look forward to coming back here!

Great Vacation

My wife and i just celebrated another anniversary in Carova Beach at this beautiful home. The home is in immaculate condition and has all the necessities for a great holiday. The beach is also clean and is perfect for sunning, walking, sandcastles, fishing. You absolutely need 4x4 to get there and that is another experience you will remember. The hot tub and grill, also very clean, and we're used each day. I didn't bring my kayak, but will next time. Lastly, the wild ponies are very cool. No need to go on the pony tours as they are everywhere. Every morning they would stroll by as we were having coffee on the top balcony. You can walk or drive around the village for many more photo ops. Evan, the host responds immediately if needed. Thank You Evan.

Relaxing at its best….

The house was just what the listing said and was beautiful, very clean and wel-equipped. The house was laid iut to take advantage of the views. We went to relax and unwind and that is exactly what we were able to do. Wonderful place to recharge and rejuvenate. Since we were in the off season, the weather was cooler but we expected that. Still, a beautiful area to visit and be near the ocean. The owner was very nice and helpful when we spoke to him. Also, great attention to detail in the welcome packet. We’d recommend this listing to anyone who wants to be near the beach and more out of the congested tourist area of Outer Banks. Do pay attention to the tides when planning to go out. And do be sure to have a 4-wheel drive vehicle due to driving on the beach and sand roads to access the property. But that’s part of the beauty of Corolla.

Wonderful Stay!

My husband, mom, and four children ages 4, 6, 9, 11 stayed at this property for one week and enjoyed every moment of it. While not directly on the beach (there is a sand road and row of larger houses directly in front of it) the location was wonderful. It was a quick couple minute walk right to the sand and ocean and there were no complaints coming from us. It's a completely new experience for us in Corolla, driving on the beach and even seeing vehicles on the beach itself, but once we got used to the new beach culture, we loved it -- for small children though, you have to remind them many times that vehicles are around and to be diligent and safe. That said, every vehicle we saw was very safe and mindful of all of the beachgoers, as everyone is in the same boat. The house itself has all of the sand toys, chairs, tent, towels, etc that you'd need. And when we found our tent was broken, a quick call to the owner had a new ones in our hand near immediately. The house itself was clean and equipped with all of the kitchen utensils, pots/pans, and even basics like olive oil, seasoning, etc that you'd need. The extras like the shuffle board, Pac Man and pop corn were also huge hits! There are plenty of rooms and sleeping arragnements too. Overall we'd highly recommend and greatly appreciated the experience. Bonus -- we saw horses every day. We saw a single male roaming around and what seemed like two separate families of horses with 4-7 each in a pack. It was majestic

Traumhaftes Haus mit Wildpferden vor der Tür

Das Haus ist sehr gut ausgestattet und bot uns alles, was wir uns gewünscht haben. Es ist geräumig und hell. Man läuft 5 Minuten zum Strand (als Europäer) oder macht es wie die Nachbarn und fährt rüber.Ein Allradantrieb ist Pflicht, sonst wird es schwierig über den Strand zu kommen. Bitte genügend einkaufen, da man etwa eine halbe Stunde zum Food Lion braucht.Es ist alles sauber und gepflegt. Wir fanden noch Unterwäsche von jemandem und hätten uns saubere Spülschwämme gewünscht. Aber das ist wirklich meckern auf hohem Niveau und deshalb bekommt das Haus 5* von uns.Evan war sehr hilfsbereit und zuvorkommend! Herzlichen Dank für alles!
