Beautiful vacation spot!

This is a beautiful home located on such a peaceful spot on the canal. The kids & adults loved kayaking on the canal both in the early morning and evening after the beach day. Great to have water from the filtration system that we could drink and use for ice.

Family Bonding in Isolated Beauty

Remote home base for family bonding, epic drives to and on the beach, oceanfront horseshoes and spike ball battles, kayaking, hanging on the decks and pool time. House could use some updating, but owners were quick to respond to maintenance issues over a holiday week. Our crew loved it :)

Beautiful home and great communication from owners.

Beautiful home with a short walk to the beach. Lots of horses passing by and stopping by. The home is very family oriented and offers games, books, and a fun family room. It’s a great place to relax if you are looking for an area that isn’t filled with tourists. We had a great stay and will return. Owners are great communicators and address any concerns amd questions quickly.

Wonderful time was had.

Arrived to the house after the drive down the beach, very easy check in process which was provided earlier that day. Great location, great views. The house was decorated very nicely and not to in your face beachy like some other places. Beds were comfortable, kitched was nice and big, with tons of storage and plenty of amenities and tolls to use. Lots of activities to do as well here. Will be back again soon amd I am already looking forward to that. Thanks for the amazing experience!!!

Clean, spacious, and convenient!

We had a wonderful week at Hot to Trot! The house had plenty of space for my husband and kids and I to spread out. The kids loved the game room, and we spent a lot of time in the pool as well. Our daily drive to the beach was short and easy, and we loved the adventure of driving on sand. We also loved seeing the horses (including once in the yard!) as well as several little frogs nestled in different crevices of the porch railings. I highly recommend this house if you want to stay in the Carova beach area!

Thank you so much for letting everyone know of your experience! I’m so happy that the horses visited you at least 1x in the yard during your stay. That’s always my favorite part of being in Carova!

Carova Trip

The property owners were wonderful. I had a few small questions in the beginning, they were quick to answer. Had a change of plans, quick to communicate and accommodate. Few more questions, still quick to communicate and did not get annoyed with my neediness. House was great, enough space, enough things to do, great kitchen, clean, organized, pool, hot tub, canal in backyard, very easy beach access. We would do this trip again. We would stay at this home again.

Early 21 vacation

We experienced driving on the beach for the first time. The horses were an added bonus as they visited us each morning. The house was very nice but the water smelled terribly. The owner did send someone out to check it and did so very promptly. We had some cold weather so we were a bit bummed we couldn’t use the pool. The hot tub was nice though!

Wish I didn't have to leave.

The house was perfect, comfortable and well stocked. The communication with the host was super fast. The beach AMAZING. We saw a ton of horses, some in the yard. We took kayaks through the canal. I LOVE OBX!!! I did only give the "location and neighborhood" 4 stars because there are sand spurs everywhere and they stick to everything, make feet bleed, and are a real pain. Don't let this stop you but be cautious with dogs and children.

Highly recommend!

Great vacation house in a wonderful location on the canal. Whether you want to relax or keep busy with activities, this house has it all! Tailgate or walk to the beach, kayak or fish in the canal, swim in the pool, relax in the hot tub or just lounge one of the decks and enjoy the view. The wild horses are everywhere! We saw them multiple times each day. They even came into the yard multiple times. The owner is wonderful to work with. She will answer any questions instantly. Definitely recommend this house and plan on staying again in the future.

Beach Getaway

This house was a perfect fit for my family and friends beach getaway week. The location is fantastic with daily sight of the wild horses. We took the kayaks out for a spin to see the sound, and the kids loved it. Very quiet location. I was worried about bugs since it’s right on the canal but found them to be no worse than any of the other places I’ve stayed in the area. The host was very responsive although we really did not have any needs during the trip. We had 5 kids (ages 6-11) who stayed in the bunkhouse room. The bunkhouse room is on the bottom floor without any other bedrooms, which would have been a problem if our kids were any younger. We did walk to the beach once which was doable but most times we drove for convenience. I would definitely stay here again!

Relax & count your blessings

We had a large group varying in ages from 8 yrs old -60 years old & all of us hated to leave this slice of paradise! The description of the place is true to fact…. Whether you want to spend a few hours at the beach or a full day- it’s just around the corner… we like spending a few hours either before after after pool time- we loved the outdoor shower! Many beach supplies come with this place - I am older with a bum knee so in order to get into our kayaks we would’ve had to go to the boat launch area around the corner. We also bought an outdoor charcoal grill that we set up beside the park grill located on the property because with such a large group it would’ve been too diff to cook steaks & chicken for everyone. We had the BEST family time hanging by and in the pool!! We highly recommend Hot to Trot!

Home away from home - WITH HORSES! Don't miss this!

It's a bit of a commitment - 9 miles up the beach - but what a reward! The home itself is one of the best equipped we've seen. Comfortable couches, everything you need in the kitchen and tons of outside space. The pool gets sun all day and there is a big hot tub on the patio also. Situated on a canal (bonus!), the owners provide kayaks for you to use to explore. Outside shower is big and clean and there's a door to the house right there. We weren't sure we would love being up where the trucks drive on the beach but honestly it's so great! We loaded up our pick up and drove the few 'blocks' onto the beach and unloaded without carrying a single chair. It's so quiet and clean and it's a true escape. Even getting back into town is really not a big deal - only took about 25 minutes to get to the grocery store if you need. There's an 'air down/air up' station right before you head onto the sand. The owners have created a lovely space that will ease you right into vacation - the check in instructions and process are super easy and the directions to the house were perfect. Horses literally walked in and out of the yard through the day and evening - we loved every minute of our few days at Hot To Trot. See you again!!

The house was beautiful! The steps were a lot for my in-laws and parents, but were doable. Game room, pool, and hot tub were wonderful. We saw lots of horses, which was our main reason for booking, so that was amazing!!! The biggest drawback was that we did not have any clue that the roads to the house, once you are off the beach, would/could be flooded. The water was so deep in places that 2 of our 4 cars ended up with check engine lights on. My parents AWD Honda CR-V had to be towed to the main road from the house (because the water tripped the AWD sensor and went out). That cost 765 for the 9 miles, plus more to get to a Honda dealer. The car was fine; they reset all the lights, but it still cost nearly 1000 and an entire day going to Elizabeth City (6 hours) to pick it back up once it was towed. We then had to pay 35 a day to park on Ponton Rd. We ended up being too afraid to damage the cars further, so we stayed at the house most of the time. We never made it to the beach because you could not even walk there due to the deep water. It was our first time and I thought AWD would be ok—it is not. YOU MUST HAVE 4 wheel drive. We still had a nice time relaxing at the pool, playing corn hole, and watching for the horses. I’d mention the possibility of flooded roads in the house description and emphasize the need for a truck or Jeep. If there had not been flooded roads, this would have been a 5.

Thank you for the glowing review of our actual house-we are thrilled you enjoyed the property we offer for others to enjoy. I’m so sorry that it rained during/prior to your stay and the roads got flooded. Unfortunately, this is out of our control and in Mother Nature’s hands. We had some severe thunderstorms that week that left abnormally high standing water on some of the back roads. We do get some standing water in certain areas after rains that most 4x4s and AWDs can handle, but this was an extraordinary flood that wrecked havoc on the entire area. Typically, AWD and 4x4s are capable of handling the sand/beach roads. I drive my AWD Honda Pilot there with no issues. If the roads have standing water, it is highly suggested to drive on the outer edges of the water and not through the middle since you don’t know the depth of the water. We hope you’ll give Carova another chance sometime in the future!!

This is perfect for our large family. We have stayed at this home two years and both times it served us well! We cooked every night and the home had everything we needed for all meals. The hammock swing is a nice place to relax and read a book or just take In the peacefulness of carova beach. Our family enjoyed the pool, the kayaks, the pool table, and being able to load up and drive to the beach in about a minute is a plus! We are family of 13 and would highly recommend this booking!

We made so many great memories and appreciated all the little touches that made us feel right at home. Our hosts were so gracious and very accommodating. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend this home to anyone visiting the Outer Banks
