The pool heater is a nice addition to a brisk fall day. You just never know what kind of weather you may encounter in the fall, so having the option of pool heat adds some peace of mind.
We're so glad you found Sandy Paws and we hope you will return!
Our stay was incredible. The place was spotless, beautiful, and spacious! Communication with the host was easy and efficient! The house and view were amazing. Seeing the wild horses is something I will always remember. My family and I had an incredible trip

HAHA, you are right, it is the perfect spot for a crowd of all ages!! Three living rooms means you don't have to agonize over who gets to watch what on the living room tv since there are THREE living rooms!! ALSO, I don't know about your family, but in our family, there is always a group playing PS5 or some other game, so they can set up and play wherever they want! It's a pretty great setup for any largish family. And the elevator is a HUGE plus to get all the supplies up to the kitchen!! That's for any age group to enjoy!! LOL

I’ve stayed in many rentals including in the Outer Banks. Sandy Paws is the best we’ve stayed at - well appointed, clean and just nice and comfortable all around. Location may be a bit far from Corolla if you like heading into town a lot. But if you want a relaxing time on the beach without a ton of people around, Sandy Paws is a truly lovely place to be. The kitchen is organized and had lots of things most rentals do not. The bed rooms are comfortable. We’ll loved the place. We loved our stay!

Thank you so much for your great review. Everyone seems to feel the same way about the kitchen at Sandy Paws! Make your own meals in this fantastic kitchen with enough refrigerators to keep seven days of food on hand. Add the two dishwashers for clean up and all you have to do is work up your appetite while sitting poolside! We're so glad you loved your stay in this comfortable home. Please come again!!
We had a great time at Sandy Paws! My husband and children (a 3 and 1 year old) went with my parents and brother. I defintely appreciated all the baby equipment they had available so we didnt have to pack as much. Everything was as expected and the house was great! We did need to some essentials to get through the whole week, like toilet paper, but not unexpected, just something to factor into plans. Good 4 wheel drive cars are definitely needed. My parents had a ford bronco and we have a mazda cx5 and did just fine though. It is about a 40 min drive to get to grocery and shops so something else to consider in plans. Ultimately, everything was as promised and a great stay and we saw plenty of horses right in the front and back yards!

Our vacation to Sandy Paws was simply, perfect! The home, location, and amenities created a relaxing getaway from life! This was our first vacation to the Outer Banks and the 4x4 beach location is going to be hard to top! We were away from crowds and most days, had the beach to mostly to ourselves! There are so many positives this house has to offer: elevator, huge open upper floor, pool, hot tub, drive your belongings to the beach, beautiful views, and many more. But really, the best part was the daily visits from the many horses that roam freely. Most times, they were between the houses, on the dunes, or in our driveway! This vacation was definitely one of the best!

Wonderful adventure for our family of ten. The house was perfect with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. The lay out provided room for everyone to spread out and spend time together or separately when they wanted to. The outside grilling area, hot tub and pool were great. A really nice sized pool with plenty of lounging furniture. View was obstructed a bit by the dune but that can't be changed. When they say you need a four wheel drive, believe them. Our family drivers had no problem but one of the riders (grandma) didn't exactly love the 9 mile drive on the beach. Luckily with all the refrigerators and freezers, we were able to take enough supplies that the only trip back into to Corolla was for sunscreen. Management team was so easy to work with and responded quickly when we needed some help with a smoke detector. The best part was the horses who came to visit almost daily. They truly are beautiful !!

Sandy Paws is a great property. Kitchen has every single thing you can imagine and settings for 20+ people. My bartender daughter was especially impressed with the completely stocks barware to include all the glassware and gadgets. Elevator was a huge plus for my Mom who had knee surgery in the Spring. Loved having the little table on the same floor as the great room and kitchen for games and puzzles. Even though the tropical storm came to visit, we had plenty to do inside with the game room and tv's o'plenty. House is staged with beautiful artwork and is very updated and well kept. Pool and horrible are top notch. My only suggestion would be to include more beach chairs to replace some of the Sandy Paws camping chairs. They are cute with the personalized logo on the back but not practical for our older family members. As usual, Laura is a dream and is available and responsive to answer questions and assist with requests. Best family vacation ever!

Response from VrboOwner on 14 Sept 2023
Wow, such a great review. Sandy Paws is a joy for most chefs as evidenced by all the "kitchen wows" we get!! ;-) The elevator is also useful for us lazy folks who don't want to carry 25 bags of groceries up two flights of stairs ;-)
I want to put a spin on the storm. I LOVE A GOOD STORM! When else can you sit and watch waves roll in from 500 yards out... white water for as far as the eye can see? What beauty! And it was short lived enough that you got your sun back before you departed. I think that is the best of both worlds.
I'll let the owners know about your beach chairs concern. I know it gets harder every day to get out of a low chair. I end up rolling out. Damnit. lol

Our family (6 adults & 5 children) all highly recommend Sandy Paws! We loved all the space, beachy decor, boardwalk to the beach, wonderful views of the dunes, ocean, sunrises & wild horses! We saw wild horses everyday! One wild horse even pooped on the boardwalk that leads to the beach! How’s that for wild horse beach charm?! Funny!The kitchen is perfect for 3 families. It has all the equipment you could want and then some! Three refrigerators, a freezer, 2 dishwashers, 2 stove tops, many quality kitchen appliances, a crab pot, and every imaginable kitchen utensil! Thanks, Sandy Paws owners! The elevator was a life saver in getting all our supplies upstairs. It has safety features which we appreciated since our group included 5 children, ages 5-8. The fenced in pool (we paid the extra to have it heated) was great! The outside pool seating & chairs on all the decks were plentiful & perfect. Laura James, Carova Cottages, answered our many questions promptly. We appreciated her help!

What a wonderful recap of what sounds like a wonderful vacation! We're so glad you had so much fun. Sounds like the horses provided plenty of entertainment!! They are so funny sometimes.
Sandy Paws really does have everything you need for a large family to just relax and enjoy each other. Meals don't prepare themselves but at least the cooking is easy in the well thought out kitchen.
I hope you will bring your family back to Sandy Paws, though your trip to Alaska sounds pretty enticing too! Can I come along?.. what's one more? ;-)
Thanks Kathie!
After this review went public, the owner wrote to me and I am copying her words here:
"We work hard to make sure that the kitchen has everything anyone would need. Just stayed in a rental cabin in TN with our friends and their teens. Couldn’t find a single platter to present a family meal. It lacked a lot of things that cooks need. I was missing the kitchen at Sandy Paws!!! "

We had a fantastic time at Sandy Paws! The house was HUGE, the pool was perfect, and the direct access to the beach was great! The drive to get there was crazy (9 miles on the sand!) but as long as you catch it when the tide is lower it’s not too bad. Definitely an adventure! Saw lots of wild horses — a couple even came trotting through our carport at one point during the week. The one downside to the wild horses were the horse flies that bothered us on hot days both on the beach and at the pool — didn’t think to bring bug spray, though not sure it would have helped with the biting! Luckily it’s not like mosquitos where the bites itch afterward, they were just a bit of a nuisance. Other than that just make sure to bring your own spices as the house only has salt and pepper, though it was definitely a well-equipped kitchen and had all the equipment/utensils we needed to make meals (which was good because it was a 30 min back down the beach to get to any restaurants). My husband also enjoyed seeing military aircrafts fly by during the day — some came super close and made for a really neat experience!All in all it was a great vacation and we were so grateful to have been able to make so many wonderful memories!

What a nice review. You are right, the kitchen at Sandy Paws is very well equipped, even if your go-to meal is frozen pizza!! Three fridges means you could just stock up and go nowhere!! Sounds like a VERY nice way to spend a week at the beach!
So sorry about the horseflies. The wind must've been out of the west that day, so the bugs come west with it. When the wind changes, they go with it. Maybe a tennis racket would have made it into a sport? Send them west!!! Lol
We're so glad you enjoyed your stay. Hope you will return! We'd love to have you.
