Come stay and play at 'Meant To Be, our sandcastle by the sea. Located eight miles up the beach from the end of highway 12 and accessible only by four-wheel drive awaits a place that exists somewhere lost in time. You'll awake to Carova's wild horses grazing on sea oats amongst the sand dunes. Watch the dolphins frolic up and down the ocean jumping and splashing and feel your worries wash away. Then take a stroll along the beach to find sand dollars left from the changing tides. See the beautiful sunset over the sound before looking up to see the milkyway in the Carolina night sky, then let the ocean sing you to sleep.

Come experience all these things that are unique only to the Northern Beaches of the Outer Banks. You will love all that 'Meant To Be' has to offer you as your vacation home. The ocean views from the upper deck and the ship's watch beckon you to stay and lose yourself in the enchantment of these beautiful beaches. The top floor has an elevated ship's watch with hardwood floors and fantastic ocean views. The great room opens to wrap around decks with ocean to sound views. Enjoy the fireplace in the winter months.

After you finish watching the horses and dolphins, take a stroll along False Cape State Park to shell for sand dollars and whelks and enjoy the natural beauty of the undisturbed beaches. Try your luck at surf fishing and crabbing or enjoy just sitting and watching the pelicans fish. Spend the day shopping in Timbuck II or in the town of Duck then enjoy one of their many fine restaurants. Climb the Currituck Light House. Take a drive South on Highway 12 to Hatteras Island and Hatteras Lighthouse and enjoy the over 70 miles of undeveloped National Seashore.

Continue south and ride the ferry to Ocracoke Island. Visit Roanoke Island and the North Carolina Aquarium. Take a chartered fishing trip from Oregon Inlet, known for some of the best fishing along the Atlantic Coastline. Play a round of gold at the Currituck Club. Take an adventurous kayak or ATV tour. Or just relax on the beach or by the poolside and soak up the day. Don't forget to watch the absolutely beautiful sunset over the sound before you look up to see the milkyway in the Carolina night sky and then let the ocean sing you to sleep.

An extra large kitchen offers two dishwashers and is fully stocked with all amenities. The second floor has four bedrooms. The two masters opening to wrap around decks with two porch swings. The bottom level has one bedroom with full bath, a game room with a pool table and kitchenette. Outside, enjoy a large private pool and hot tub. Wish upon a shooting star while enjoying an evening in the hot tub. Come stay awhile and you will fall in love!

  • Hi! We just got back late last night from our vacation. I wrote so much in your journal notebook at the beach house about our time, but I really wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed ourselves. It was absolutely marvelous. We are certainly beach people by heart and this was just amazing. I loved every detail that you had put into the house. All my life I have wanted something like this. Someday my dream will come true, but for now, for one week it had come true. Thank you. You had absolutely everything any one person could want or need. I loved, actually we all loved , the ships watch. I also love Nicholas Sparks. I can't believe that you have maybe the whole collection there. I chose a book and began reading. I made myself finish it Saturday. I couldn't take my eyes off of the view. It is just so beautiful. There was absolutely no one there except for the workers. One day we saw some volunteer fire fighters and talked with them for a while. We put many miles on our shoes. We ventured to the state park a couple of times and went geo caching quite a bit. It was fun. Saw some of the horses sporadically. I think it was too cold for them. We woke up to a slight snow covering on Tuesday and it rained on Wednesday. It was pretty cold all week, but we bundled up every day multiple times and strolled the beach for hours. We are used to the cold weather so it really didn't bother us. There was a blue sky and sun shine everyday, but Wed. We loved the assortment of games and put together many puzzles. We haven't done a puzzle in years!!!! My husband and son played their guitars and ukelele and had a great time. Dave did everyones taxes. Our dogs have never walked so much in their lives. We have a place on Sandy Pond on Lake Ontario and we boat over or kayak to the beach daily. There the dogs run and go for long walks but nothing beat the walking they did this week. One day we walked 10 miles. By evening the only thing they did was sleep. Thanks for allowing them to join us. Once again, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for allowing us to rent your beautiful home. It was breath taking. One day I would love to return. Next year we do not have this week off from school in February, so it will not work. Thank you again so much for accomadating us with the days as well. It worked out perfect. Thanks also for the mugs. It was such a thoughtful idea and a wonderful momento. You (both) have thought of everything!!!!!! Thanks again so much!!!!! Penny and Dave Scott :0) Dan, Fritz, Otto, and Bear too!!!!

  • We just returned from a terrific visit to "Meant to Be", and must say that this is a beautiful home. One of the things we noticed immediately is how well equipped the home is. Except for beach towels and food, virtually anything we could need was there and available. Well maintained, Bill & Melissa are excellent hosts, and would highly recommend this property. Just remember that being about 8 miles up the sandy beach you need to bring everything with you.... it's not just a quick drive to the convenience store! And yes, it's true about the wild horses, they still come strolling through the yard every day! Views are great, short walk or ride to the beach, pool and hot tub are excellent! Welcome gift a very nice touch. Would suggest bringing some drinking water. Will definitely rent again.

    To the owners of Meant to Be, We really enjoyed staying in your beautiful home. The vacation went by too fast! We looked at your photo album of the construction of your home, that was a great idea. This house is absolutely beautiful from top to bottom. The adults as well as the kids enjoyed our week from top to bottom. This is our second year vacationing in the Outer Banks. I think we found our permanent vacation spot!! This is definitely one of the best times we had in awhile. It's definitely worth coming back to.

Thank you so much for allowing our dog to join us - she had a blast at the beach! Thank you for sharing your home with us and we wish you many good memories in the years to come.

    Once again another great week, we hate to leave! It's nice to come back (our 2nd yr. in your lovely home) and the finishing touches you added. You've stocked so well we've had everything we needed. Tthank you. It is apparent much love and thought went into the building and furnishing of this home. The pool has been great for the afternoons when the beach got too hot...or evenings...or whenever. Tthe horses feeding in the yard are a delight. Again THANK YOU for such a wonderful week.

    A beautiful home! We enjoyed our stay & the secluded location. Saw several deer as well as the horses. Pool and hot tub were fun and very relaxing. Porch swings were a nice treat. Loved the layout of the house. We have many wonderful memories that we'll bring home with us.

    What a great spot for a vacation. I loved the animals but I loved the seclusion the most. The house was great. Very pretty down to the last detail (like the sea animal knobs on the cabinets) Thank you for building it. The pool was a special bonus we enjoyed much more than I thought we would. The house is beautiful, the view fantastic.
