Location: Carova, Northern Coast & Outer Banks, Coastal, North Carolina, USA (Located 9 miles up the beach from the end of Highway 12)
Accommodations: Single House, 5 Bedrooms, 4.5 Baths (Sleeps 14)
Water front home completed June, 2006. Located just nine miles up the beach from the end of Highway 12 and accessible only by four-wheel drive. The Northern Beaches of North Carolina seem to have been set aside for those vacationers looking for a good old fashioned vacation. Our home is located on a secluded canal-front lot about 1000 feet from the beach.
Our home offers a unique choice, to play in the canal, which has direct sound access or to go to the beach and feel the warm sand between your toes. While on the beach you can watch the Dolphins gliding through the ocean or watch the Pelicans overhead. However, our favorite visitors are the Spanish Mustangs that visit from time to time. This herd of horses roam freely on the Northern beaches and are truly a joy to watch. Our home has wonderful ocean views from the upper deck so after a long day of play, you can relax in the 7 person hot tub on the upper deck and watch the sunsets over the sound.
On the days when you are beached or sounded out, just a short drive to the North, you can visit False Cape State Park and take a nature hike. To the South, climb the Corolla Lighthouse. You're in for a treat when you finally reach the top. The Whalehead Club is a fun tour and has a great outdoor park with great views of Currituck Sound. Tim Buck II is a neat shopping and dining experience. Our favorite restaurants in Corolla are North Banks, The Grille Room and the Route 12 Restaurant. Further South is the Village of Duck. This is another fun place to roam and shop. Restaurant recommendations in Duck are the Red Sky Cafe and the Roadside.
The Wright Brothers Memorial is a must and maybe take in your first flight. Visit Jockeys Ridge, climb the dunes and maybe learn to hang glide. About 60 miles to the south is Cape Hatteras, a scenic drive worth taking. In Manteo, visit the beautiful Elizabethan Gardens, and if you go, stay and see The Lost Colony an outdoor live theater experience. A visit to our home will have you coming back year after year.

We just got home and wanted to let you know that we loved your home and had a great time! Everything was lovely and so nice and new. We took care to keep it that way and leave it that way. Tha kids want to go back next year so we'd like to be in touch about that. My compliments to the chef on the kitchen. I love to cook and was pleased to find good quality cookware, not a thing missing, and decent sized bowls for once! I could've spent the whole month there easily. What a great place you have!

Brian and Susan - just a quick note to let you know how much we enjoyed our vacation and your vacation home. Very nice design and accommodations. I would certainly be interested in renting again from you.

We all had a great time at your house. Your home is great! I left a large crab trap, I thought you and your guests could use it. Everyone said they wanted to come back next year and that it was not just a vacation but an adventure!

We loved your home and the area. I kept calling it paradise. It was the perfect match for my husband and me. I liked the vegetation and sand roads and he liked the beach. We usually go to an area that just has the beach, that gets a little boring to me. This was wonderful.
