Property was nice but the cleaning crew could have done a better job. Outside pool area still had bottles laying around and the lady cleaning came back to the property looking for her phone and said she had stayed in the room downstairs the night before.

Great getaway for a large family!
Our family had a great time at this house. The house has plenty of room to spread out and everyone can have their space. The kitchen is large and open and worked out great for us. The house does come stocked well, just be aware to bring toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap and hand soap! Like all the reviews say the roads are rough and most were flooded for us but a truck will make it through just fine. Overall a great experience and looking forward to our next trip!

Great vacation! The beauty of this beach is amazing
I can not tell you how great this vacation was!!! The house was so well stocked. The pool and hot tub were perfect! Fishing was amazing. The views were breathtaking. The drive down the beach to get there was awesome. We saw horses everyday! Everyone was so friendly. It’s was like going back in time. The dunes!! Omg the dunes!

Not Family Friendly!! Buyer Beware!!
My family was desperately looking for a relaxing beach getaway with our 2 kids aged 6 and 8 years old. The wild horses was what drew us to this region of the OBX, but from our experience even a pasture full of wild horses grazing is not enough to get us to endure this awful trek! Stay away if you have children! Not family friendly!! Cars are speeding by you on both sides as you are lounging on the beach. It feels like your children are playing Frogger! Highly dangerous, not relaxing!
Despite what the property owner claims, you need to have a 4x4 4 Wheel Drive vehicle such as a Ford Pickup truck or a Jeep, you CANNOT traverse the 17 miles of sand and dunes it requires to get to this beach house. People were getting stuck in the sand all around us. It was like getting stuck in a snow storm and everyone was spinning out. We have an All-wheel drive AWD vehicle and we still got stuck. Kind strangers had to help dig us out and push our car. It was a tense, white knuckle drive. Not the relaxing scenic drive we were hoping for.
Despite what was communicated with us in our correspondence, it does NOT take 20 minutes to get to the nearest grocery store!
It’s actually an 1 hour to drive to the nearest grocery store!! Yes, 2 hour round trip for eggs and milk. When we were told the Tim Buck 2 shopping plaza was just 20-30 minutes away. The house is 17 miles off the main road, you are only permitted to drive 15mph, so yes it takes over 1 hour to drive the 4x4 section without traffic. And add some more minutes from the stretch on main road. Basic simple math. I wish I had known this, would never have booked if I had known this!
By the time we finally arrived, my kids were crying and exhausted and hungry! That’s when we discovered the AC was not working, for some reason it was always 10 degrees hotter inside the house than outside. On the 3rd day they finally came to fix it.
To make things worse, the Wi-Fi did not work! My husband and I could not work remotely like we had hoped and intended to. Slower than AOL dial up from the 1990s. Unless you are intentionally looking to disconnect and unplug during your vacation. I highly suggest booking on the main area of OBX with access to food, internet, and paved roads. It feels like The Moneypit of beach vacations, one calamity after the other! I will never book through VRBO again. Airbnb.com actually offers renters protection and recourse! Not the family vacation we were dreaming of!

Nice home in Carova
Overall nice place near the Sound in Carova. We visited after a week of rain and the roads were not great, however doable with 4x4. The house is nice and has plenty of space as provided in the description. Top floor where family area/kitchen has some great views along with a deck overlooking the sound. We were expecting to use the hot tub during our stay but unfortunately out of service for our stay.

Secluded and magical
This property is an adorable little house located very far back off the beach. We did not mind it but did not realize just how back in the woods it is. But once you get there it is a beautiful little retreat. The house was well stocked and clean. The pool and hot tub were very clean. The little beach was adorable and my husband and kids fished all week back there. The horses came right up on our property all week - stood right next to my husband while he fished and drank out of the sound! :) It is about a 5 min drive to the beach. Very quiet . Take all the recommendations - buy lots of groceries because it is a far way to get to any store. Also the nearest hospital / urgent care is over 1 hour away. We had little kids so just something to note. The grill is picnic style as they mentioned.. that is the only thing I would love to see upgraded in the future. But will definitely be returning!

Great family vacation rental
We have vacation in OBX and specifically Carova for many years but this was our first time on the sound. In addition, to the kayaks available with the home we brought additional from home resulting in multiple pleasant evening and morning rides for the family. The layout of the home is very functional and worked well with differing gathering places for teenagers and adults. We also saw horses more often and up closer than we did when staying in oceanfront homes. Thank you for a great vacation!

Secluded quiet location
The owners made the experience easy. We were looking for a different vacation than previous ones. This property fit our criteria of what we wanted. The ease for check in and out was easy. All the recommendations should be followed. Such as, stop and do your shopping prior to arrival, be sure to have a 4x4 vehicle and be aware of the wild horses and other animals. There was plenty room for our group of 14. The kids of course thought the pool should've been bigger but when spending the majority of time at the ocean, the pool was great. A fantastic time was had by all.

Best vacation yet
There are no better beach days than the ones on Carova beach and then coming back to such a beautifully maintained, spacious home makes it that much better. My family of five (plus our dog) look forward to this vacation every year and we are never disappointed by the home or it’s beautiful quiet location. It’s really a special place! Thanks for opening your home to us!

4WD vacation in the OBX
We had never been to the Outer Banks, and had no idea what the 4WD area would actually be like. It’s a long drive in the beach, but once you get settled it’s really great and very convenient. We loved being able to drive our car right into the beach. The house was great, clean and had all the amenities we were looking for. We highly recommend this place!

Great home
If you're looking for a great home for your family to get away and have privacy but close to beach access, then this is the place. Just be sure to check the tide times before heading out to go to town since the beach access road can be busy at times. The home was kept up with nicely. The home comes stocked with what you need other than toiletries, however the home has all you may need to enjoy a relaxing vacation.

Beautiful secluded home in Carova.
Mike and Heidi have a beautiful home up in Carova. We've been coming up to Carova for the past 10 years and love the seclusion and easy access to the beach. The house was the perfect size for our family of 10 and the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed for the trip.
Mike and Heidi were very responsive, provided us with all of the information we could need, and checked in on us since we checked out 2 days before Hurricane Florence. We loved staying here and hope we can come back again in the future.

Beautiful home and property!
We stayed here with our dogs for 5 days and it was absolutely wonderful. We loved having the private pool and access to the sound! The drive to the beach is not bad at all and it was so neat to see the wild horses standing right at the back door! We would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to stay in the 4wd area! We look forward to staying again in the future!

Definitely remote and quiet
Our family really enjoyed the pool and hot tub. Seeing the horses close up was great, they would stand under the deck right outside the lower level door. Kitchen is equipped very nicely. I would recommend approaching the house from a beach access point farther north than the owner recommended driving instructions. To avoid multiple, very large (total width of roadway and 20 to 30 feet wide), deep, and water filled holes in the Corova area roads--go north to the mile 22 dune marker. Parking on the beach was great for beach activities. The house is remote and quiet. It easily can take 1-2 hours to get to Kitty Hawk or Nags Head Island attractions. Our older teenagers wanted to do things away from the house and the travel south for those activities added up.

オーナーについて
オーナー : Michael Owen
Michael and I live in a suburb outside the Philadelphia area. We both work in the health care field. We enjoy hiking, kayaking and beach-combing.
この宿泊施設のオーナーになった理由
We purchased our canal lot in 2004 after visiting friends in Carova Beach. We fell in love with the area and wanted a bit of paradise. We built the home in 2007 to accommodate our family. We have had many gatherings and good times in the home, celebrating, anniversarys, birthdays and graduations.
この宿泊施設の特徴
We love the home because it offers the best of both worlds. We are close to the beach to enjoy the surf. We also enjoy the canal and sound. The home is secluded and in a beautiful natural setting.
