We highly recommend booking the Sea Refuge. This beautiful new beach house has it all; amenities, location to the beach, wild horses, and False Cape State Park. Penny was an amazing host and great to work with. Only wish we could’ve stayed longer!
The house and host, Penny, were wonderful! The house is exactly as pictured and sits in a beautiful spot. We saw the horses one day at the house. The beach is a very short drive. Penny definitely made sure you felt at home and also had everything you may need there for the beach. She let us know that the house was ready early and to remember that we needed to gas up and grocery shop before getting onto the 4x4 beach. We were NOT disappointed with this house or stay. We can’t wait to come back.

Thank you for being such exceptional guests! Your thoughtfulness in leaving the house spotless truly means a great deal to us. I’m thrilled to hear that the horses surprised you with a personal visit; those moments are truly special. I hope their charming presence added an extra layer of joy to your stay. We eagerly look forward to welcoming you back for your next visit!
This is such a great house and great location! This was our fourth stay in this part of the Outer Banks so we knew what to expect. We love the area and that sense of getting away from everything. This house is perfect for that! No neighbors and it backs up to a nature preserve? I was immediately sold!The house was so clean! Had everything we needed (and more) along with a split bedroom layout. Perfect for a couples trip or a family. The owners are so sweet and thoughtful! It’s obvious they put a lot of care into hosting. They accounted for so many little details like having extra phone charging cables, toothbrushes, and even providing a bag of charcoal for the grill! Communicating with the owners felt more like talking to a friend rather than a business transaction.We would definitely stay again and recommend this property to friends!

We reside in Va Beach/ Knotts Island on the water which is just a 10 minute boat ride to Carova. We have been boating over and enjoying this beach for many years. On a whim and with a lot of hard work we finally built our own beach house! We invite you to experience the joy of our newly built beach house, where you can immerse yourself in the beauty of nature, relax on the beach and witness the graceful presence of wild horses.
