We loved the master suite with screen porch to enjoy coffee, ocean views, and wild horse sightings. Even washing dishes at the kitchen sink was lovely with the wild horses in the back one night. Many special moments to enjoy and remember from our family vacation. House was lovely and well equipped. Lush vegetation surrounding the property was so different from your typical beach vacation destination.

This was a magical first time visit on the 4x4 beach, and learning to drive it. The property owners were very prompt and communicated with us from the very beginning, recommending local eats and activities for a Birthday/Anniversary trip.We came in during the Nor’Easter and the beach drive was a bit concerning. We had to go back into very loose sand off the main beach due to very high tide at a couple areas, but the property was all we had hoped for and so much more. The attention to details and the coziness of the property was wonderful, we found ourselves just relaxing there most days and exploring the area.Bring a 4x4 vehicle with clearance just as they recommend very clearly in the listing, and you will have no issues.We arrived a little early with the weather concerns, an 18 hour drive to get there, and being 1st timers driving on the sand. The property owners were there still cleaning, so we were able to meet them. They were wonderful and very accommodating from start to finish. The property is beautiful and we had horses and deer pass through during our stay. I would highly recommend this property, or any other property they own. We have had only one other experience that was this wonderful, and we always return! Thank you so much for sharing your property with others and your kindness, we will definitely be back!

Nice Place

Have stayed in several places in Carova, this is one of our favorites. The house was very clean and had ample space and amenities. Communication from the owner was great. Plenty of privacy and is on the south side of Carova, so it's closer to the 4x4 access. Would stay here again.

Beautiful and Peaceful Property

We loved our stay here. The home was beautiful, well maintained, and very clean. Check in/out was easy. The surrounding property is lush and private. Very family and dog friendly. 4x4 is of course a must, as it’s a hike from the pavement down the beach. Grocery/food options are nonexistent nearby but the seclusion is what makes this area special.

Well designed, cozy and relaxing stay

We appreciate all the attention to detail the hosts put towards ensuring guests have a relaxing stay, including the pantry, laundry, beach supplies and games, books, movies and puzzles. The beds were comfortable and linens and towels great condition. Two coffee pot options a plus and beach access easy yet secluded. Great stay! Would definitely recommend to others.
