About Clifford and Dora Scott
My husband and I live in Virginia Beach, he is a long shoreman and I manage a dental practice and we both work for Twiddy cleaning a large beach house on sundays. I graduated from Kellam High School and my husband graduated from Currituck High School and we have enjoyed carova beach since we were children. We have rented homes here at the beach and on the canals since 1995. We have traveled all over the world but could never imagine vacationing anywhere better than Carova Beach.
Clifford and Dora Scott purchased this Cottage in 2014
Why Clifford and Dora Scott chose Corolla
My husband and I grew up enjoying carova beach all our lives and In 1997, the year after we were married, we were the first family to rent this home. We talked about how much fun we had and how we would love to own this piece of paradise. All I can say is never stop chasing your dreams. This year we bought our dream home 20 years later and with a little TLC we love it more today then we could even have imagine back then.
What makes this Cottage unique
The views, seclusion and close proximity to the beach and sound, makes this home a one of a kind. The comfortable decor and abundance of amenities make it easy to feel like your own slice of paradise. Just minutes to the surf where you can drive right up sink a chair, grab a book, and watch the water roll over your feet as all your stress rolls right away. The home has a boat launch and dock if you bring your own boat we are just minutes from Knotts Island, NC across the sound.

Perfect house to experience Carova
This house had everything we were looking for. Kayaks, corn hole, fire pit, hot tub, and everything I needed in the kitchen. Not to mention, the house is beautifully decorated that you would never believe it's a rental. The kitchen table has bench seating on one side so that your whole group can enjoy a meal together. So incredibly pleased we picked this house for our stay!
Clean, well decorated and well stocked beach home.
Salty Kisses was EVERYTHING we hoped for! A private beach home away from the beach crowd but still near the water. We took our 4 border collies along and needed a private spot to let them play. This was perfect. The owners checked on us to make sure we made it and were quite helpful! We got to meet them at the property and they gave us great info on the area, and driving the beach. Listen to the owners advice... let some air out of your tires before driving on the beach and you’ll have a much better drive!!!!! Like other reviews mentioned, it would be beneficial to check for low tide times.
The wild horses visited us twice. The second time six of them stayed in the yard all afternoon. They were not the least bit interested in us or our dogs. What a sight! The views are amazing! Highly recommend this home if you are looking for privacy! 4 wheel drive is a must!!!
Great family vacation home!
This was our first time in OBX. I had been looking at this property for years online and finally booked it. It’s a great place to stay while in OBX. The home is clean and beautifully decorated...and stocked with everything you could possibly need or want. Kayaks, board games, firepit etc...there was always something to keep each of us occupied. The horses that walk on property are stunning to see. The owners were very nice and pleasant to deal with. Will definitely be back. Thank you for helping us have a great week!
Beautiful home right on the water
We went the week following Hurricane Florence and had great communication from homeowner before and during the stay, as we had 1 day of flooding. This was our 3rd time in 4x4 area and this was the best house yet. The location was ideal and the home was beautifully furnished and had lots of great amenities such as kayaks, beach chairs, and beach towels.
I am so glad you and your family enjoyed your stay and hope that you can make it back next year:)
Fairly run down and dirty. Mold, broken furniture and so many bugs!
The house layout was great with kids having the bedrooms separate from the main living area. The beach is an easy 5-10 minute drive and the views from the balcony are pretty. Unfortunately the rest was a bit disappointing. There was water leaking from a ceiling heat register in the family room, mold in the ceiling, dirty windows, to get linens for the 5 beds is an extra fee, many of the chairs meant for lounging outside were broken and unsafe for our kids. I think the worst part was the bugs (both inside and out). Most of our party left with 100+ bug bites.
I'm sorry that you found your stay a bit disappointing, to address your issues condensation can form on the registers when the doors are left open or lots of people are coming and going and its hotter than Hades out side with humility at 100 percent as it was labor day weekend . If you check your paper work we did not charge a dime for your linens, yes most places do charge but we gave you a courtesy on all your towels, sheets, and beach towels and only asked that be laundered which they were not. Some of the furniture outside is in need of replacement but there is seven new chairs that we added this year and i left the other chairs there as extras since other families have found them useful and not unsafe. I will remove them to avoid any incidents. Our home is located on a waterfront point facing a national wildlife refuge which is why the wild horses, deer, otters, and other wildlife are so abundant in the area but unfortunately with nature comes flying insects depending on the direction of the wind. When i left the house on Saturday the day you arrived there were no bugs in the home and the house was clean inside and out , but after four families move in groceries and unpack you can expect some flying insects could come inside. I just hope that future renters reading these reviews read all the reviews and find that almost all the families that have shared our home with have found it to be a sanctuary with so much to offer.
Great location, comfortable house.
Great property.
Horses visited most days.
Great view of storms and sunsets.
