As the waves roll in, watch for dolphins playing in the surf or look for the families of horses grazing on the dunes. Or grab the binoculars to search for the boats sailing by in the distance.

The house met all of our expectations and more. Horses under our balcony, dolphins jumping and the roaring of the ocean - couldn't get any better. Great days on the beach and having the pool/hot tub was a bonus as well. There was plenty of room for all 11 of us to be together, as well as places for everyone to have alone time. Great vacation!

We love the house, the spaciousness and the proximity to the hard road (for errands, etc.) Laura was a gem to work with. Horseplay met all of our needs. We had a family of 10; there was space for everyone. Looking forward to more vacations in the years to come.

Our stay was fantastic. It was everything and more than what we were hoping for. From all day on the beach to flying a kite and enjoying the view from the deck

The house has enough rooms for our family of 12. The view was gorgeous and loved having my morning coffee and looking out over the ocean. We loved seeing the wild horses in the backyard and on rhe beach. We loved the private pool and spa. I’m not sure if the sheets were changed in the room with the 4 beds as there were crumbs on the sheets when the kids went to bed our first night. Other than that the house was pretty clean.

We have now stayed in Corova twice and this location was just the right distance based on the time it takes to get back to the main road. The house was clean with multiple unobstructed views of the ocean. The bedroom set-up was perfect for our family and the two dishwashers were definitely a plus. We will be staying here again.

We had an amazing time at Horseplay. It was the get away we needed this year. Wonderful to be on the beach everyday and have the wild horses visit. Laura was great... super responsive in adressing any questions. Can’t want to go back!

We have rented other homes in the area that we were disappointed with the cleanliness and overall condition and Horseplay was a pleasant surprise.

The stay was great. The house was clean and well maintained. We had horses in our backyard and walking under the porches on the house, which was AMAZING to see! Absolutely beautiful area. We would stay again. My only complaint is the pool was advertised as being heated when I booked it but was not an option after booking.

The pool was great, not too big, but just right. Everything was clean and the service and amenities just right. Good location with just a short drive to the beach. Plenty of wild horses that actually set up in the back yard several times, cool. Laura was great and couldn't be more satisfied. Next time we plan to vacation in Carova, this place will be on our short list!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The entire family enjoyed Horseplay very much. There is plenty of room for our family of 11. Plenty of bedrooms and common area to make all of us comfortable. This is the 2nd time we've stay here in the past 5 years. This house is however starting to show wear and tear and could use some general maintenance. We had an issue with not having adequate ice. A commercial ice machine would be very helpful. We had an issue with the pump quitting and had to be repaired. A handle in the 1st floor bathroom was off the shower. The front of the a drawer in the kitchen came off and needs repaired.

My family and I love the Outer Banks and have always stayed in Duck. This year, we decided to try something different and stay in Carova. We had absolutely amazing weather! Driving on the beach was definitely a bit intimidating but we paid attention to the tides and had minimal problems getting in and out. (Got stuck once in a Chevy Traverse, but luckily we had a big truck with our group to pull us out!) The ‘roads’ once you turn over the dune were very loose, but I think the dry weather contributed to that. The house was an absolutely perfect fit for our family. Clean, plenty of space, and lots of bathrooms! The views from all sides of the home were breathtaking, and we were fortunate enough to see horses a few times throughout the week very near the property. The pool was very clean and an awesome space. The speakers were a huge plus- super easy to run Bluetooth to stream music from a phone. The kitchen was well equipped, which was great since we opted to cook most meals at the house. The extra living spaces were perfect for when the guys wanted to watch football. On our first few days, we took a very long trek to the beach, not knowing the best way. We spoke with a local who guided us through the back ‘yard’ and over the dune, which was much more efficient, but definitely not the best for young kids. We brought a beach wagon but were unable to use it since it wouldn’t have made it up and over the steep/lumpy/bumpy dune. FYI- once it gets dark, there were a lot of mosquitoes outside. We got bit up by the hot tub… leave the doors closed so they don’t get inside!! We were loading up our car the last evening and unfortunately a bunch of mosquitoes got in the basement. We had an amazing time and would recommend staying in this home, as long as you have reliable 4 wheel drive!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had an awesome time with the whole family. This house is an easy walk over the dune to the beach, and being about 3 miles from the end of the road it's the perfect balance of not too much beach driving, but still remote enough to have lots of space on the beach. Driving on the beach was a fun novelty. The house itself has so many full bathrooms! And the top floor is great being completely open concept with great views. We had a great stay and highly recommend for anyone wanting a more remote beach trip, but still close enough where going into town for shopping or ice cream isn't too much of a hassle.
