Sunnybank is a magnificent oceanfront wild horse estate.
We run a Friday to Friday week in order to save you wasted hours in the weekend traffic. The entire island (400,000+) turns over on Saturday and Sunday and is funneled into 2 roads. You'll coast in on Friday, do your shopping and be hanging around the pool while the other 400,000 are stuck in traffic.
The rates you see are what you pay. We do not add in another 20% for taxes and service fees like other companies do.
Our wild horse herd helps make Sunnybank the most unique property on the Eastern Seaboard. Away from the hustle and bustle of the in town resort areas our Northern Beaches offer a more peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. Our turnkey Oceanfront Majestic Estate compound with 5 bedroom suites includes all the Toys, Kayaks, Surf and Boogie Boards to make your holiday with us the best ever!
This home is located only 2.2 miles up the beach in the four wheel drive territory of Corolla and less than 10 minutes from the Food Lion shopping complex. Amenities include elevator, large heated salt-water pool, Kiddie pool, 2 hot tubs, gourmet kitchen and so much more. Seclusion with easy accessibility is the main ingredients for this fabulous mansion.
Please give us a call or e-mail us for more information. If our home won’t work for you we’ll do our best to help you find the right home to fill all your vacation needs.
Best wishes for a Great Outer Banks Holiday!
Mike and Karen

Map & Owner's Profile
Oceanfront Victorian Mansion on 3 Acres
Year Purchased: 2001
Why the Owner Chose Carova
We love water and the ocean so when we found Sunnybank on 3 oceanfront acres it was perfect. Lac Perdu (Lost Lake)with our ramshackle lodge and cabins in remote Quebec Canada is about as opposite as you can get from the luxury of Sunnybank's Victorian Mansion but we would be hard pressed to say which place we enjoy more.
The Unique Benefits at this Magnificent Vacation Estate
We enjoy the beautiful Sunrises and Sunsets the most in addition to the the big pond (Ocean) out front and the sound in the back. The wild horses are fantastic as well.
Owner's Map of Carova
We are definitely country people and most of the year live on a couple hundred acres in PA raising beautiful, loving Portuguese Water Dog Puppies. Our summer family vacations are sometimes at Sunnybank our unique OBX home. But we especially enjoy family get togethers at our Quebec Territory in Canada which is God's country. Our private lake has 88 miles of shoreline and is only float plane accessible.
