This is our second time renting this home and we have to say we love it. The location on Carova is perfect if you want to see more horses than people. lol. The owner is an excellent communicator and generally great guy. The home is well maintained and comes complete with any appliance or kitchen gadget you can think of. WiFi is also excellent. We will be back!

It was a wonderful vacation. We’ve been to the Outer Banks many times and this was the first time on the four-wheel-drive Corolla Beach. It was great. It was such a fun experience riding on the beach. The home was beautiful and well stocked. I cooked several meals and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook and bake. Great views. Horses were nearby everyday which was so much fun. The home is in a more secluded area so a lot of the beach traffic is found south of the home. Pool and hot tub clean and ready to go. And the hosts could not have been more lovely. Would definitely recommend this home and will be back.

Stunning Property on Adventurous 4x4 Beach!

This beach house is Stunning! Spacious and very clean with a super comfy large couch and beds. The views from this home are amazing and every evening, the wild horses came right up to the house. We loved that the house is on the 4x4 beach! We had a blast driving on the beach every day. We could walk right out the back door to the beach which was never crowded near this house. The heated pool was great with lounge chairs and a hot tub for the late nights. We loved that it had two out door showers! This house is fully stocked, especially the kitchen! It was like being right at home with anything and everything I needed! We will 100% be back! If you’re on the fence about which beach house to pick….this is it!

Great stay!

My family and I had an amazing time at this house! The house has a great open layout and everything was clean. The walk to the beach was short and the views were awesome from the house. We’d definitely stay here again! The drive to the house requires you to drive on the beach and it can get pretty bumpy, having an off road vehicle of some kind is definitely the best way to get to the house. If you have a vehicle that can get there, this is the place to stay!

Relaxing getaway

Just got back from a one week stay at this beautiful property. It was two families who just wanted a week away at the beach and pool and we were not disapointed. The house, beach, pool and grounds were all as described and beyond. The host was amazing with communication and answered any of our needs that arose. I will definitely be back for future vacations.

The Perfect Getaway

If you are looking for a place to relax, center, and reflect on the most important things in life—family, nature, jaw-dropping sunrises, and all of the other blessings we tend to take for granted, Running on Faith is for you! The home is beautiful, clean, comfortable, and stocked with all of the amenities you need. The best part is the owner—responsive, thoughtful, caring, and just…chill. This was one of the most memorable family vacations we have had!

Beautiful home and view

We had a wonderful stay. The house was clean, spacious, and comfortable. The kitchen was well-equipped and we particularly enjoyed being able to see the sun rise over the ocean every morning while enjoying a cup of coffee! The pool was great to have when it was too windy on the beach. The grandchildren enjoyed it immensely.

About the host

Hosted by Tim Burress

Host profile image
I grew up in Chatham, NJ and spent my summers on Long Beach Island in Harvey Cedars. I have lived in Boston, NY, and now Richmond, VA with my two fantastic girls Ava and Grace and our dog Beau.

Why they chose this property

Running on Faith has been more than just a house; it has been a blessing, a place of fond memories, and a source of great joy for all who have shared our home. When a fire took our beloved home in 2013, we were devastated but thankful that no one was hurt. Strangely, the guests who were there had decided to leave early, and we were delayed in our arrival on the eve of the fire. Running on Faith has blessed everyone who has entered its doors, and we are thrilled to rebuild and share our home once again.

What makes this property unique

For nearly 22 years many guests have shared what they love about our home and perhaps it is best expressed by one note I received several years ago that simply said 'Your home is so easy and comforting we just love returning each year' It truly makes me feel grateful to share our home with all of you.
