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

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.

    • We were on vacation at this property 6/5/09-6/12/09. The house was beautiful. The scenery was excellent. We had daily visitors by the horses too. The only thing was the traffic on the beach. Tour groups that came to see horses parked in the traveling lane.

    • We just recently came back from an incredible week at Sunnybank. In fact we already booked to go back next year. We absolutely love this house it has everything plus more than you need to make a wonderful vacation happen. The weather was beautiful, the sunsets incredible from the back deck and the sunrise from the front. An awesome place to share with family and friends. We will not stay anywhere else!

    • What a beautiful place-all the comforts of home and more. We actually brought more than we needed! The weather was great, it was sunny and warmer than home! It was pretty amazing to drive down the beach to the house like it was main street. The house has something for everyone to do, our week was very relaxing and much needed. The wild horses were in the yard daily-it was almost like being at home. (we have 10). We enjoyed the walks on the beach for seashells, the sunsets were beautiful and we had a surprise visitor in the pool area one afternoon, (a 5ft black snake)we just moved him to the neighbors yard! Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful retreat with us.

    • We just returned from our vacation at Sunnybank in mid-June. We loved it. We had a few quick showers but the weather was perfect most of the time. We had three families, one from Minnesota and two from Tennessee. Everyone loved the large, beautiful custom home on the beach. We thoroughly enjoyed the pools, the beach, the sunrises and sunsets, and the wild horses. The home had every amenity anyone could ask for. We all left saying "When can we do it again?"

    • Sunnybank is a beautiful piece of the world. We had a perfect week with family and friends. We learned that next time we need bring much less than we did, since you have thought of everything and already included it in your beautiful home. During our visit, we were already discussing the next vacation at Sunnybank.

    • Once again, we love coming back to Sunnybank during the off season. Hiking around the huge dune in the "backyard" couldn't be more fun & then canoeing on the sound side, bird watching as all the spring migrants were showing up was fantastic. Driving up the beach to the VA border is a great experience. Park your car & go through the gate to explore False Cape State Park! After all that activity, nothing better than watching the sun set from the upper decks & wait to see the lighthouse start blinking in Corolla. Beautiful!

    • Hi Karen, We just returned from a WONDERFUL week at your magnificent home. We had the best time! We did not do any touristy things. We simply enjoyed the beach, the pool, the horses, fishing, walking on the beach, seashell collecting, and the sun. Utter contentment. Now, it's only 51 weeks till we visit again. Thank you so much!!!

    • As a family, there is no place we’d rather be than Sunnybank! It is the perfect getaway, with all the comforts of home. We spent another week enjoying this spacious home on the beach this past June. The best thing about this retreat on the beach is that in addition to providing lots of opportunity for great times together, it also has lots of cozy nooks, indoors and out, for quiet times alone. You will go home relaxed! Everyone in the family, regardless of age, will love spending time here (our 19-year-old son even offered to save money toward future vacations at Sunnybank). We look forward to returning each and every Summer!

    • If your thinking about staying at Sunnybank it doesn't matter if you have adults, teenagers, young children or a baby, Sunnybank can accommodate them all. It's the most extravagant, yet simplistic vacation you could hope for and will be one of the most memorable beach vacation you've ever had. From the quaint town of Corolla you get your necessities. Then you 4 wheel drive on the beach to get to Sunnybank, meanwhile enjoying the sites of the Wild Spanish Mustangs in a natural habitat. Once arriving at Sunnybank you take in the awing site that Sunnybank is in itself one huge estate for you and your family or traveling companions to enjoy. Even pets love Sunnybank it's courtyard is entirely gated, no reason to worry. The only thing there is to worry about is what your going to do first. All the comforts of home with the amenities of a quality hotel. If you can splurge have the pool heated, hire a cleaning service and stay two weeks. You won't regret it.
