  We have vacationed in this areas for 20 years. Last year we found this hidden gem. What a wonderful home--it isnt a vacation rental in its look and feel. We felt like we were at a luxury house of one of our family members. It is so private and tucked away. Why we rented ocean fronts for years--with all the people in front of the house day and night is beyond me! Never again, not if this house is available. We were worried it might be too far to walk. Let me assure you that it isnt! We loved taking our jeep out to the ocean, sitting for the day and then coming back to this treasure chest! It is so hot this time of year anyway we enjoyed being able to not have to tote bags of things down to the beach on a hot hot day! The pool was unbelievable! The stars wonderful. We couldnt hear anyone. The horses came to visit every day and we even saw a wild pig! What a treat. At night we watched the sunset over the sound, cocktail in hand on the upper deck. Don't miss out! We missed our preferred date this year, so we hope to rearrange our travel to be able to rent this home!

  My family and I were staying just down the road from this place last summer. We met the owner(s) on the beach and they gave us a private tour of the estate and it is absolutely amazing. We cannot wait to stay there. Everything is first class.

  As soon as we drove over the hill onto the property and saw the house we were mesmerized and we knew it was going to be a memorable week. The landscaping and property alone is beautiful. Bill and Elizabeth were there upon our arrival and were so accommodating and helpful. We have been vacationing in the Outer Banks, Carova area for 10+ years and have never had such wonderful hospitality. They gave us a complete overview of the house, which was more than helpful, as this is a huge house. Everything in the house is so organized and clean that it makes your vacation even better. Everything you could possibly need in a kitchen is there. The horses roamed the property all week, it was amazing. We sat up on the top roof/deck every night looking at the ocean and you can still hear the waves crash even from where you are. Our kids had a blast, we had five children with us, the house entertained them, we could have just stayed around the house all week and they would have been thrilled. We will be back next year!!! No doubt!! Thank you Bill and Elizabeth for such a fun, relaxing, memorable week. I did not want to go home. See you next year!!!

  This was such a family retreat for us--and such a treat! We felt like we were on a private estate--and we were! The home was large, clean, and wonderful--with a killer game room and open space--The views of the sound the sea were spot on from the top deck. I guess everyone should stay here--but then we might not get to stay as often! The folks were friendly as could be. All and all so worth the drive and experience!

  The house is set back so that you don't see anyone! We were amazed at house peaceful and unique the property was. The house is big--and there are loads of photos missing from VRBO--the owner should put some more up of the game room, the pool house, and the other bedrooms. The house has everything we needed and it was the perfect place for our family. Perfect and we will be back! The listing is accurate, but the house better than the listing makes it appear! the appearance is even better. It was so well cleaned and scrubbed! The sheets and towels were awesome. The owners were so very helpful with all our crazy questions! I would recommend this to everyone!

  This was our first stay in the off road area and we were a little nervous. Until we saw this wonderful home! It is just wonderful from every room, to the yard, to the pool. It is so much more than you can see on this website! We checked out the website for the estate and were able to see a few more photos--but still. I must say this is the BEST house we have ever rented on the Outer Banks. Every day the horses would stroll by. We sat on the upper deck and watched the ocean and sound! What a treat. The kitchen is excellent. The house was so well cleaned and spotless. Don't miss out--they have underpriced this place! And last but not least, Elizabeth and Bill were wonderful hosts! They met us at the end of the road, showed us how to drive on the beach, gave us a great orientation to the home. What a wonderful vacation. We didn';t want to leave.

  We recently vacationed at Hidden Oak Estate, we have been vacationing in Carova for several years and this home with its privacy was certainly the most unique! The home is actually nicer than the pictures. The home furnishings were very tasteful and the kitchen was well stocked. The owners met us when we arrived and were such gracious host, they did everything possible to make us feel at home. Thank you Bill and Elizabeth! ,
