4x4 Access:
Reaching Carova Beach is part of the adventure - the home is accessible by driving approximately 9 miles on the beach sand. A properly equipped 4WD vehicle is required. 2WD or standard AWD vehicles cannot make the trip and may become stuck, which can result in towing charges. If anyone in your group won’t have a 4WD vehicle, we’re happy to share nearby paved parking options so you can ride out together. Once at the house, plan for about a 30-minute drive to grocery stores, restaurants, and shopping. We are located in the Northern OBX of NC. Norfolk, VA is the closest airport, approximately 108 miles by car. Map view shows 2 miles to VA border, but the property is only accessible via Rt 12N through Duck and Corolla.

Up to 2 dogs are welcome! Pet fee is $250.

Wild Horse Sightings:
The famous Corolla wild horses roam freely through Carova and are often seen near the house and on the beach - a memorable part of staying here!

About the host

Hosted by Marty Thompson

Host profile image
My wife, Rhonda, and I live in Raleigh, NC, and we love creating memorable vacation experiences for our guests. Our goal is to clearly share the property’s amenities, set expectations, and give you a true sense of what it’s like to vacation in the Northern Outer Banks of NC. We’re proud to host many returning guests, and it’s our pleasure to make your stay as enjoyable and seamless as possible. We know you’ll love it here!

Why they chose this property

I’ve been visiting my friend Tim’s nearby oceanfront home, Running on Faith (VRBO), for many years. Inspired by those experiences, I decided a few years ago to pursue owning and managing vacation property in the area.

What makes this property unique

What makes our property unique is the serene, private setting along with the beach drive to get here. We feel the location is in a place where you can truly unwind and enjoy nature. The area’s tranquility, combined with the occasional wild horse sightings, makes every stay even more memorable.
