About the host
Hosted by Laura James
We are Carova Cottages. We manage about 16 houses here in Carova. Horseplay was one of the first ones we took on! Hosting guests is joyful, since people are always happy to be here.
Why they chose this property
We LOVE the wild horses and driving on the beach. There's nothing like loading up the car with the grill and the canopy, the chairs and the sunscreen and heading to the beach for the day. Parking out on the beach gives you a base and also makes it easy to run back to the house if you need something. But the walk back is so short and you have to work off all that good food! lol
What makes this property unique
Horseplay has some pretty fantastic views. There are so many places to relax with three living rooms, one on every floor. Each bedroom has it's own attached bath so there is no stress about getting out of the shower and walking through a bunch of people. Plus that outside shower is pretty fantastic. LOVE the air whirling around while the water is pouring over my head!
