Kaptain's Treasure is perfect for a moderately sized family. It has plenty of space for folks to spread out. Between the pool area, the game room and the living room, there is a spot for everyone. THANKS for your nice job upon departure. We appreciate it when folks love the house and treat it like their own! :-) Please come again!

May Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great house, excellent condition. If you have a 4x4 and want to be “away from it all” it’s perfect! If you don’t, you need to rent closer to town. I made the mistake thinking my all wheel drive SUV would work......we made it but it was a stressful 8 miles to/from the paved roadways. The property manager was second to none,,especially when helping me learn how to drive on the beach. Again highly recommend if you want to be away from restaurants and things to do. PS the wild horses fulfilled a bucket list item. It was AWESOME to see so many!!

Relaxing beach trip with 3 generations

Would definitely rent again, house well maintained and clean, wild horses visited are location daily. Beach easily accessible by walking or driving, even though we had to drive 8 miles of 4x4 beach driving it was not an issue and never a dull ride, all 3 husbands enjoyed the drive and rest of family enjoyed the ocean view. Trips into town were positive many places to eat or just grab and ice cream. Grocery stores all easily accessible.

THANKS so much for your nice review. Kaptain's Treasure is a GREAT house for the generations to combine OR maybe send the kids to the game room for their gaming! lol. We're glad you found us and I hope you'll come again. It was hard to tell you'd been there. :-)

First time Outer Banks

Kaptain’s Treasurer is a beautiful vacation home. Our family appreciated how well thought out the property is for vacation hopes and needs. The 4x4 access only property was a new experience and for first time OBX vacation, this was a full committed experience. The daily observation of the horses was a breathtaking sight. Wonderful family time.

First time OUTER BANKS?? Hopefully you're a committed repeat guest now!! :-) Kaptain's Treasure is a beautifully maintained home with lots of comfortable spaces. Beach driving adds some spark to the vacation! And the horses make it seem even a little surreal. What a cool way to let go of your daily life's routine. It's all about the experience and the memories!! Please come again!

We're so glad you enjoyed your stay at Kaptain's Treasure. This home has been meticulously maintained by loving owners who pour heart and soul into the care of their home. And it shows! The beach is an easy walk, just 400 feet over the dune! The pool is a fantastic place to spend the afternoon if you get "beached out". And the level one game room is a great gathering space for a little pool tournament. Besides the pool, the level one fridge and full bath make it easy to spend the entire day on one floor! But you will want to go to level three for the lovely kitchen in which it is easy to make just any meal you can conjure. Kaptain's Treasure is just that, a real treasure.

4x4 beach house

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Very nice, large home. plenty of room for 2 families. Good sized pool, well stocked kitchen. Only drawback was bath towels were not provided. They were available for $150, but that seems like something that should be included.
Response from VrboOwner on 14 Sept 2023
Thanks so much for your review. Kaptain's Treasure is a beautiful home and the owners keep it very well maintained. They work on it for at least a month every winter. Wish we could duplicate them and put them in OUR house for a month!! lol I understand the towels question. The owners decided about ten years ago not to provide towels and to keep the rate a little lower because of it. I hope it won't deter you from a repeat visit. Carova Cottages and Kaptain's Treasure would love to have you return.

A great time!

We had a great time! Properly was in perfect proximity to the beach and after we learned the ropes of the 4x4 beach driving, we loved it. We had considered driving AWD vehicles and were relieved we decided to rent 4x4. For anyone flying into Norwalk we rented a Jeep Wrangler from Marquis off TURO and would 100% recommend. I’ll try to link it. Thanks again! Check out this car on Turo!

I was looking to do something different and I got it.

The house was a good location.As on prior places we have stayed it is going to be a lil tuff on the elderly ones as far as steps.We are used to that.Coming in on peak high tide was a complete eye opener for the first time , driving 8 miles on the beach.Next day I was good to go.House was cool, Horses were cool and the weather was nice.You will need to make very good preparations unless you want to travel back to town everyday.Plenty of sunscreen and bug spray and you might have to remove a pile of horse$&@@“:.Just saying.Would go back🤘

LOL. YES, the flip side of wild horses is wild horse $&@@ LOL. Kaptain's Treasure is a cool place as you said! I think the drive to town makes you feel compelled to make do with the supplies you have, but DEFINITELY bring enough of the important stuff, like wine! ;-) All the houses here have a reverse floor plan with the living area on the top floor. It was done PURPOSEFULLY so you would have to work off all the good food you are eating! I hear you about those steps though. :-0 I am glad you liked your vacation. It is definitely an experience worth having particularly with some high tide driving! What an adventure!

Beautiful!!! Relaxing!!!!Me and my family loved this place.We saw wild horses about every day.The beach was just minutes away, easy for the kids to go to the beach. This house has plenty of room for a family, and they just loved the pool table.We relaxed in the spa and the kids swim in the pool.Laura, the property manager is absolutely wonderful.She is quick to respond and if something is wrong or breaks, she gets replacement or it gets fixed quick.It is recommended that you do have a four-wheel-drive. There is a reason for that..The 8 mile ride up the beach in the loose sand can be tricky without a four-wheel-drive.Only negative thing that I would say about getting to the property is in Duck,Check-in is usually on Saturday and there’s lots of properties so there’s lots of people trying to get to their condos and houses so just be prepared for that.But I would have to say this was our best family vacationWe loved Outer Banks..
Wild horses right out in front of our house.
Beautiful sunrises every morning
Another beautiful Sunrise
The Dune out in front of our property I suggest you take dim 20 to this property

WOW, such a nice review. I am SO glad you enjoyed your stay. We love it here!! Yes you really should have a real 4x4 and we aren't kidding! But there are AWD vehicles here so I guess there are some that can make it. You're right about the slow down in Duck! It can be annoying to have time added to your drive. But if you plan on it, maybe it's less stressful. We hope you will come again!!
