LINENS PROVIDED SEMI-OCEANFRONT 200’ to OCEAN -PETS WELCOME

Our family went to this house on our vacation. Kevin the owner is amazing. He goes above and beyond to make sure you are happy. We have a 10 month old granddaughter and we needed a highchair, Kevin came back with one when we first got there. The house was perfect, we had everything we needed and more. We had 2 extra guests that Kevin didn't even charge us for. Kevin also let us check out a couple of hours later then he's normal checkout. Also I left my phone at the vacation house and Kevin made sure to get it back to me.

If you want a truly breathtaking trip book this house.

We woke up and drank coffee on the deck in the mornings and watched the horses every day in the yard and in the other homes.

I can't wait to come back. Thank u so much again Kevin.

Kevin was really helpful with all our questions and the house was clean and perfect for 6 of us.

The location of Kevin's beach house was perfect! It was one row from the ocean - a very short walk to a sparsely populated, pristine beach. If you like to relax on your vacation, this is the place! The beach house itself is authentic, cozy, and comfortable enough that you feel right at home. We enjoyed all the extras that this house provided: For the beach there were kayaks, a surf board, boogie boards, corn hole boards, beach chairs and umbrellas. Inside the house you are provided with all bed linens, bathroom linens, dishes, glasses, pots/pans and pantry items. The closest grocery is a 30 minute ride (7 miles of beach driving), so we found it very helpful to have items in the pantry that we may have forgotten. It was also very helpful to have the washer & dryer - we used them daily. The outside shower was a private retreat and allowed you to shower off all the sand & salt before going inside the house. Kevin thought of everything, even a water basin to wash off your sandy feet at the bottom of the stairs. Now for the location! If you like to see wild horses...this is the place for you. We were visited multiple times per day by these gorgeous wild horses. There were also dolphins playing in the water almost every day...this place is magical! As for the owner, Kevin, I have to say that he was the best! You couldn't ask for a better person to rent from. He goes above & beyond to make sure you enjoy your stay. We enjoyed this place so much that we wanted to extend our stay. Kevin made that happen, even though he had another booking.(I know, right?) He arranged another house for his incoming guests to take, while we were allowed to stay right where we were for 3 more days of heaven! We can't say enough good things about the beach house or Kevin...but one thing's for sure... we will be back!

Thank you!

When we booked a property, Kevin (the owner)gave a call to greet us and to give a few hints about the place and the surroundings (where to get the food, ice entertainment, car reqs etc.) which to me shows that he cares about you, to ensure you have the best of the best experience and vacation

Upon arriving a few pleasant things:

1) The house is clean,very bright,nicely decorated,feels very cozy,roomy.

2) Well equipped ( you have good kitchen with the ice maker,2 full bathrooms and 1 outdoor shower to get rid of the sand), TV and Internet service (unfortunately, you do need those 2 things time to time, even when you are on vacation)

3) Whoever designed the house did think about the multi-family vacation so the rooms are spaced out properly and give everyone enough privacy

4) Nice deck that we spent a few early morning breakfasts and the evenings on

5) Dual fuel grill.I personally love charcoal, but the gas makes some things much easier

6) Good clean water

7) A lot of things for a good beach day: umbrellas, kids toys, boogie boards, fishing rods, games. We used it extensively and glad they were there

8) The house, even though there are other properties around felt private, no noise, no wild parties around

My understanding is that if people are looking for a vacation rental in Carova, they understand a requirement for 4x4 truck/jeep or at least good awd suv, tire deflation is a highly recommended.

Beach- the BEST, very private feeling not crowded,nobody did anything crazy,respectful. Spent most of the week there.

Wildlife: seen horses everyday right from the porch, dolphins, rays, crabs, school of fish, everywhere, and many many more things.

The Town: LOTS of activities like sightseeing (both Historical and engineering), parasailing, jetski and so on.Many good places to eat. Very clean, the resident folks are very friendly and helplful, good people

Supermarket= Food Lion Supermarket is the best bet- you will find anything you need there.Lots of shops sell surfing, beach stuff, baits and tackle shops are there too. A lot of small shops around that sell fish, crabs etc

Police:I have to mention it as this place feels safe and organized. If the officer comes and tells you that either you parked wrong or move your chair closer to the ocean, etc-there is a reason for that and it is for your own safety and the safety of other people-obey and respect. Do not speed even though it feels like you can

Thank you Kevin and OBX, my boys speak about it nonstop!

The house itself was very nice, clean, with plenty of amenities. The owner was very responsive up to and during our short stay. He had contacted us prior to make sure we had a 4 wheel drive vehicle. We had rented a Toyota 4Runner and had experienced driving on a beach during previous vacations. We got a phone call while we were on our way that there was ‘water on the road’ due to heavy rains the week before, we were already on our way so we had no choice. The water ended up being over a foot deep for most of the road off the beach to get to the house. The water hit the hood on the first attempt. After several attempts, we got to the house. Once we were there we realized the only way of getting out, even to the beach, was to either walk or drive (with a rented car) through the standing water. More rain was forecast (it did rain throughout that week) and we were concerned we would have to spend our vacation week not leaving the house. The next morning we contacted Kevin and told him we had found another rental, it just wasn’t feasible for us to stay. He was very cordial, and said he would try to get us some sort of refund and would contact us Monday. We haven’t heard from him since. We have reached out to him via phone call, text and email, all of which he was quick to respond to in the past, with no reply.
