Beautiful Oceanfront Views! 4x4 beaches ^Wild Horses^ 2026 calendar open! Hurry!
Perfect Ocean Getaway for Relaxation! We are doing Fri- Fri rentals only for 2026!
Leave your hectic life behind and relax at Dream’s End in Corolla's unique 4x4 area where the wild horses roam. This home is really a dream come true. We are only 3.5 miles up the beach with spectacular and unobstructed oceanfront views.
Sandfiddler Rd. in front of us is closed because it is covered by large dunes so there will never be any traffic driving directly in front of the house. Also, we own the oceanfront lot ahead of us, ensuring plenty of space for your vacationing family. There is also a 16'x16' dune platform deck, offering a beautiful ocean front experience, without concern for beach traffic. Perfect for morning Yoga!
Every bedroom is a master suite with a private bathroom (tub and shower with near instant hot water in each bathroom), pillow-top mattresses (excluding bunks), amazing views, and private deck access.

Also on the ground level is a Game Room that has a video game machine with over 60 classic arcade games such as Pacman, Frogger, and Donkey Kong that can be played with 1 or 2 players. We also have a foosball table, 2 full-size refrigerators and a small refrigerator for fresh fish and bait.
Mid-Level: 4 master suites; 2 with King beds, 1 with Twin over full bunk with twin trundle, 1 with bunk set, queen bed, and a full-size crib. Each bedroom has a private bathroom and private deck access. This level also has a laundry room and a sitting area with a small sofa and 55" Smart TV.
Upper-Level: Beautiful LVP flooring throughout. 2 King master suites (1 with jacuzzi tub), a spacious living room with newer furnishings, cathedral ceilings, ceiling fans, powder room, 65 inch Samsung HD Smart TV. There is also a ship's watch where you can relax, read, or just enjoy the view of the ocean.

Driving Information
Four-wheel drive vehicle required to access Dream’s End.
It's best to arrive before dark because the beach is more difficult to navigate at night. We recommend lowering your tire pressure to 15-20 psi, so be sure to bring a tire pressure gauge along. Tires can be re-inflated at the free air stations at the Historic Corolla Park or any of the area gas stations.
Check area tide charts prior to arrival. Low tide is ideal for beach driving. Follow all posted speed limits (35 mph or 15 mph when within 300 feet of pedestrians or wild horses). Drive on the hard-packed sand near the edge of the water or close to the dunes. Leave the middle of the beach available for parked vehicles. Drivers must be 16 years of age and possess a valid driver’s license. ATVs are not permitted by guests (residents only).
Parking passes are now REQUIRED on Currituck County beaches between last Sat in April and first Sat in Oct. These are only needed to park on the beach. Driving on the beach and parking at the house do not require passes.
As owners in the 4WD area, we will receive 2 beach parking permits for our guests to use. We can't guarantee that these will make it through the season without being lost or taken home by guests. We will do our best to replace them, but it may take some time. It is crucial that you as guests leave these permits at the house on your departure for the upcoming guests.
Currituck County does not allow personal motorized watercraft on the ocean. However, jet skis and personal motorboats are allowed on the Currituck Sound. For more information regarding Currituck County's rules and regulations, please contact the Currituck County Chamber of Commerce.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING CANCELLATIONS
If NC or Currituck County closes access to the beach house due to Covid-19 restrictions, we will happily reschedule your trip or provide refunds if needed.
If you need to cancel for other reasons, please review your contract and consult with your travel insurance. At your request, we will do our best to re-rent your week for you so as to allow for a refund. Fees may apply. Please contact us if you have any specific questions or concerns.

About the host
Hosted by Seamus McGowan

We are Seamus and Melinda McGowan, owners of Dream's End. We currently live in the Dallas, Texas area. We have three daughters and three granddaughters, and a grandson. Our youngest daughter, Caiti, often assists us with communicating with our guests at Dream’s End. Prior to living in Texas, we lived in Oregon, and in Virginia. Melinda was born and raised in Newport News, VA and she grew up taking summer vacations in the OBX. We still love to take trips to enjoy these beautiful beaches.
Why they chose this property
Over the years, we have taken many trips out to the OBX, but typically within the Nags Head/Kill Devil Hills area. When looking for potential vacation rentals, we came across this one in an area we were not as familiar with, 4x4 Corolla. Hesitant at first, we drove down the sand admiring the soft waves to our right. The view from Dream’s End is one that we had only seen in our dreams! The peace and serenity that comes along with this area is unmatched, making us fall in love with it. We are very excited for this opportunity and are looking forward to ensuring that our guests have wonderful experiences at Dream's End
What makes this property unique
Dream's End is located in Carova's unique 4x4 area where the wild horses roam. Carova is an eleven mile stretch of beach that begins at the northern terminus of NC Route 12 and extends to the North Carolina/Virginia state line. The name Carova is actually a contraction of Carolina and Virginia. Carova is subdivided into beaches, one of which is Swan Beach where Dream's End is located.
The views from this house are breathtaking! Take a short walk over the dune and you are at the beach, or sit on the deck and watch the dolphins jumping out of the waves. You may even see a whale spouting a stream of water as he swims by. Thunderstorms are exceptional at the beach with lightning brightening up the dark night skies. On a clear night you can sit in the hot tub and gaze at endless stars. If you are an early riser, sip your coffee while watching the sunrise from the front deck. In the evening enjoy the incredible sunsets from the back deck.
The wild horses come by nearly every day to snack on the grasses growing around the house. There are times when you see them racing across the dunes, or out by the water’s edge. This area isn't for the faint of heart though. There aren't any paved roads or sidewalks in the 4wd area called Carova. It is a wild and free area. The highway is the beach. Sand roads lead to the cottages. Your vacation here will be an experience like no other. Rejuvenate, relax and renew at Dream's End. Staying in the 4wd area should be on everyone's Bucket List!!
