Loved the experience to be secluded, place top floor was in ok condition, beds upstairs were nice, downstairs was not vey clean, kitchen utensils need upgrade and downstairs bedroom and living room were dirty and full of dog hair. It is a shame because is a great comfortable house. The sunroom and jacuzzi were the best places to spend time. I had to clean downstairs to make it decent.
We have stayed at this house 3x over the last 10 years and have loved it every time. The recent updates looked great and the owner was very responsive throughout our trip.
The location was perfect . Still had some privacy and covered parking we saw horses the first day right under our deck. The house was clean and very comfortable bed , our dogs felt right at home they had water and food bowls for them . Would recommend.
The homeowner was great and always available. We enjoyed seeing the horses around the house everyday. Close to the beach. Just a beautiful place to relax and unwind.
Perfect! Saw the horses everyday in the yard. The house was charming, the dog bed and bowls were such a sweet touch. If you are looking for a quite retreat for a few people this is the perfect spot. The views from the master deck especially are wonderful, sunrise and sunsets are spectacular. We are planning on making this a yearly trip. Thank you Terri
Perfect location. Comfortable beach home. AC worked great. Beautiful sunrise from the front porch and upper deck. Relaxing evenings on the screened porch and in the hot tub. Daily horse sightings very close to the home. Horse paparazzi do ruin the tranquility of the area at times. Owner available immediately for any questions or concerns. Our only complaint is that the place could use a serious deep clean.
We no sooner started driving on the beach and up ahead were 4 horses just walking and posing for pics it was amazing ... Tere's house had everything you could ask for ... and then the STORM CAME ... :-) 50 to 60 mi hr winds and heavy rain but, hey we had everything we needed and lots of fire logs it was amazing and Tere was so nice to call and check up on us ... but no worries Thanksgiving was clear and calm ... took walks and pics of the horses and had a Great Thanksgiving dinner ... Can't thank Tere enough for sharing this amazing home and checking in with us ... Storm and all Gordon and I had a wonderful time ... :-) Hope to go back again ...
The beach experience was wonderful...we saw horses everyday! The beach was a short walk away from the rental so it was awesome for early morning walks along the shore with my dogs!
I was disappointed on how far the rental was away from town...6 miles of riding up the beach 15 mph then another 30 minutes into town for any activity.
If you plan on staying at the rental the whole week...this property is for you! The hot tub was a treat!
I felt like the house was 'weekly' clean but it seemed like the ceiling fans, walls, heating/air vents, glass doors, behind beds (where I could electrical plug was) hadn't been cleaned in a long time! ...and I had to make my own bed!...at least the sheets were on the bed. The furniture had seen better days but it's a rental, right? đ€·ââïž
Overall, it was a beautiful area and I had a wonderful time visiting with my son!
So relaxingly enjoyable...my happy place in the OBX!
Breakân Wind beach house was great! We were initially greeted by a group of Spanish Mustangs with a young colt. Very cool... The house sits with an unobstructed view of the ocean. Found it to be private even with other homes nearby. Beach was an easy walk to. Beautiful, cozy house. Bright, airy, and clean inside. Kitchen well stocked. Beds were comfortable. Washer and dryer were a nice convenience. Not to mention the hot tub, even in the Summer heat. Adjust the water temp. and it felt wonderful. Especially late at night with that dark sky. You see so many stars, some shooting. And when the moon comes up over the oceanâs horizon finally, it was just really unique. Sunsets were awesome from the master bedroomâs upper deck. Great place to read in the morning and to listen to all the songbirds nearby. Caught a rainbow in the clouds there. Nice pic.. Screened porch nice spot to spill a seafood boil bucket for dinner. It was truly an unique experience. Plus it was pet friendly. Ellie Mae lived hanging out with us. Bonus not having to board her. Terra was a great host, answering any question, and reachable if needed. Thanks to her, and the beach house for giving us an enjoyable, and relaxing vacation. Looking forward to next yearâs stay!
My family had an adventurous and fun time at Break N Wind! Leaving the asphalt and hitting the sand beach for the 7 mile ride to the house was a feeling of adventure we will never forget. The house is a few rows back from the beach, and although there are houses around, it still feels beachy and enjoyingly remote. We have stayed at many VRBOs, and this kitchen was as equipped and full of supplies as any we have ever visited! We did hear from the owner on the drive in that a storm had knocked out the satellite tv and the hot tub, which was a bummer because we had chosen the house for the hot tub - knowing it would be chilly the last week of May. But the owner was very apologetic and communicative throughout. She worked hard to get repairs done, and we were able to use the hot tub the last two nights (and the owner - although not requested by us - refunded a part of our stay because of the hot tub disappointment.). A really nice and appreciated gesture!!! Only other positive/negative that comes to mind is that the house is pet friendly and has a pet smell when you walk in, and we spent a little time vacuuming the hairs off the couch. Probably wouldnât bother some but might be an issue for others, but I am sure our doggies would have had a fun time if we had brought them! Give this house a go if you are looking for an authentic Carova Beach experience and I am sure the owner will make sure you enjoy your stay!
