Spacious 3-bedroom home with WiFi, smart TVs, in the peaceful 4x4 area of Corova
Welcome to Kahlua Sands!! Come relax and watch the wild horses in this cozy, 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home located in the remote and peaceful 4x4 Carova Beach. There are no paved roads, only sandy trails to explore, sun to soak up, and sand to sink your toes in. One of the best things about this remote location is that you can park directly on the beach, so no need for lugging of heavy beach equipment! There are two beach parking passes included for your stay. ($250 fee if they are lost)
Nestled among the pine trees, this location is perfect for a quiet and relaxing stay, with many ways to enjoy the surrounding nature and wildlife.
You are a 14 minute walk or 4 minute drive to the beach.
It is a 2 minute drive or 15 minute walk to False Cape state Park at the North Carolina/Virginia border with many trails to explore the untouched wilderness.
The house is just a short drive from the Carova Park by the canal. Enjoy fishing, or enjoy viewing the local wildlife, including the wild horses, turtles, fish, osprey, herons, and various migratory birds. The park is also next to the canal's boat ramp where you can can launch a boat, canoe, paddleboard, or one of the two kayaks that this rental provides.
There are smart tv’s in the king and queen bedrooms. A Smart tv is also located in the living area. Internet is provided but guests will need to log into their own streaming services.
The outdoor space includes a fire pit charcoal grill combo (need to provide your own charcoal) with ample seating and outdoor shower. There is a security camera pointed at the driveway to ensure accuracy of booking and for general safety. The kitchen will have some dry spices, plates, glasses, utensils, etc. as well as a variety of cookware to prepare meals. The house has a filtered watersystem but we recommend you bring your own water to cook and drink, and just use the house water to bathe and do laundry. Sheets and towels are provided but you will need to bring any hygiene products as well as trash bags, toilet paper, paper towels, soap and shampoo etc.
Things to consider:
Please note that there is nothing commercial in Carova, which is what makes it so unique! There are grocery stores, restaurants, and numerous spots for entertainment located "on the pavement" in Corolla, which is about 15 miles or about a 45 minute drive away.
Also, there are no paved roads in Carova and a 4 wheel drive vehicle is required to travel on the beach. Tires must be aired down to 15-20 psi to avoid getting stuck in soft sand. If you are new to beach driving, it is helpful to review the daily tide chart and travel the beach during low tides. Please refer to the Currituck county beach parking driving website for further air down instructions, etc. Gas tanks should be full as there are no gas stations in the 4x4 area. There is a free airing up station located in Corolla as well.
if your vacation goal is to slow down, escape the 9-5, and focus on quality time with the people who matter most; you have found the perfect place!

Thanks for the kind words, it was a pleasure hosting your group. Welcome back anytime!!
A nice property located close to the beach. It was clean and comfortable with lots of cookware and utensils. The owner was easily contacted and responded to any of our questions very quickly
We definitely enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and comfortable. It was a short drive to the beach. The host was helpful with check in and check out. Would consider staying again.
It was perfect for us. Very comfortable and we had everything we needed. Horses was in the yard when we came back to the house.Nice secluded area and quite.
Rustic Carova home nestled among the trees and stars! Loved our walks and seeing the wild horses! We had a lovely week in Kahlula Sands! Jonathan answered any questions promptly.
An absolutely beautiful property, very clean and modern. Quiet and tranquil. If you are looking to get away from all the commercialization of most beach towns, this is the place for you. I can’t say enough about the property and location. The hosts were wonderful, communication was excellent, timely and accurate. We will certainly be back. 5 stars all around.
Great house in Carova. This was our second trip to the 4x4 area and we absolutely love it. This home is nestled among mature pines and oaks giving some great shade but only a 1-2 minute drive of the beach and all the sun you could ask for. Check in/out was seamless and the home was exactly as advertised. Kitchen is well stocked with utensils/pots and pans which I really appreciated.
The property and house were just as described. We had a very nice stay even though the weather was not what we would have liked. Our host was very nice and answered any questions or concerns we had There are some steps but they were easy ones! We will be coming back!

Host was very responsive and helpful with any questions asked. Gave suggestions for dinner for my daughter’s 16th birthday. Let us know where a fishing license could be obtained and a fishing report. The house had plenty of room and everything we needed to cook. The house was stocked with books, games, dvds.
Even though it rained for a major of the weekend, so we spent a lot time indoors. Between the arcade game provided and other things to amuse ourselves. My family and I had plenty of room to spread out and make the most of the weekend.
Thanks for the Hospitality
Our stay in Corolla, NC was nothing short of amazing! The 4x4 access made the trip feel like a true adventure, allowing us to explore the beautiful, secluded beaches with ease. The house was well-equipped and comfortable, providing the perfect retreat after a day in the sand.One of the highlights was watching the wild horses roam freely near the property—such a unique and unforgettable experience! Our dog had the time of her life running along the wide, uncrowded shoreline. It was the perfect mix of relaxation and adventure, and we can’t wait to return. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful getaway!
Everything was clean and in order. Guidance regarding getting to the property was helpful as we didn’t realize we would require a 4x4 to get there. Renting one was instrumental to a low stress stay. Property was minutes from the beach. We particularly liked the outdoor shower and hose for our pups and us when returning from the beach. More hooks in the bathrooms and on doors would be useful. Overall would rent again.
