Lots of sand

Our stay at Carova Heights was wonderful, but the trips up and down the beach were a little harrowing at times, as Hurricane Lee was sweeping by and the beach was sometimes non-existent. (We followed surf reports to drive during low tide, but even that was not always the best time to go because of the hurricane.) We had a four-wheel drive and no problem making it through the beach and over the very high dune roads, but it is something to think about when choosing to stay here. The house was in perfect condition and had all amenities one could want. The pool was excellent as well although the last few days got very chilly (this was mid-September). The hot tub was a nice alternative although it had no lights above or around it so using it at night was pretty much out of the question. We had horses visit us several nights while we were around the pool and when we took walks or rides around this part of the island we saw them as well. The beach was undertandably very windy with the hurricance passing by. My daughter was able to surf two days, but after that the water was so rough even standing knee deep could get you knocked down. As others have mentioned, trucks driving up and down the beach (usually locals) came very close to those on the beach, especially pets and children. You had to be very careful.

Beautiful, well maintained property

This house is even better in person. The woodwork throughout the house, nice furnishings, and art made it feel extra luxury. It is quite clear that the owners love it and maintain it well. Great views from the deck , the kids loved the big pool, and it was fun to see horses amble through the property. To get to the beach we walked through a vacant lot and over the dunes, or drove our truck out. The beach was busier than I anticipated with traffic , and making sure the little ones in our group didn’t walk out in front of a car every time they wanted to get a bucket of water was a little unnerving. The beach is great for boogie boarding. Owner communication was plentiful and prompt, and when we had a mishap with the storm blowing the hot tub cover off and breaking a pipe there was help out immediately. I will say all owner communication, even the welcome letter, had an air of disdain and annoyance to it. The owner texted asking why the hot tub cover wasn’t latched down (it wasn’t latched when we arrived at the house, I wasn’t aware it needed to be) and to “use common sense,”a phrase also echoed in the welcome letter. I try to put myself in their shoes renting out a house they are quite attached to, and I’m sure it IS annoying. I probably wouldn’t want to do it! But the house is great, and we had a great time!

Extraordinary experience

Everything was amazing, is what my daughter kept saying. We had wild horses visit under the deck. My grandson almost ran into one. He didn’t know they were there. He came running upstairs breathless to tell and show us. The weather was kinda crappy. But we had some beautiful days too. Fantastic sunrises. Beautiful views all around. Everyone enjoyed the pool. We watched horses every day from the balcony. We found games and activities to do inside during the storms. How often do you get to watch wild horses while doing the dishes! The whole family had plenty of personal space. No one was on top of each other. Everyone had a awesome time.

Wonderful vacation!

We had such a beautiful week at Carova Heights! Horses even came to visit us poolside. Couldn't have asked for better weather and the house was well stocked with everything we needed! Only had to bring ourselves and what we ate! Thank you Rande & Bob for sharing your beautiful home with us - we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and looking forward to next year!

Why they chose this property

There's no place like it on the east coast. The long walks on open beach for miles on end. The wild horse sanctuary. Sunrise over the ocean and sunset over the bay. A special brand of people, locals and travelers.
