Beautiful Home in a Great Location

The home is beautiful, well decorated and in a great location. And although it is located one row of houses back from the water, you can still see the ocean waves and sunrise from the upper deck. The horses visited almost daily. And we drove our Jeep around many times to see others. The beach was spectacular! We drove it end to end many times. High tide was a bit sketchy at times, but we did fine considering that check in and check out both occurred at high tide. We spent many evenings enjoying the hot tub and playing cards in the screened porch. It was so quiet and on clear nights, you could see every star in the sky! Thank you to the owners for leaving the pool open longer for us to enjoy. We did have a few minor issues, and the owner was quick to respond. Nothing big enough that couldn’t wait. My only recommendation would be to bring a few garbage bags with you, as none were left and we had to make a special trip to town to get some.

Amazing Views & Perfect Location

We have been coming to OBX for 20 years. Never stayed on the 4x4 beach. We will never stay anywhere else! The property was amazing! Spacious and perfect for 2 families. We had 5 kids total and 4 adults. Love that’s it’s very pet friendly. Clean home and comfortable beds and sofas. Easy walk to the beach for sunrises and sunsets! Communication with the owners was very quick and informative. Really just love This property! The wild horses were an added bonus! We will be back!!

Carova Beach

A lot of things there need to be repaired the screened in porch. The flooring is worn on the main floor. The grill was a piece of junk and I told the owner repeatedly that it wasn’t working. I do believe it was leaking gas. We thought their maintenance person had left the valve on. The grill never worked properly at all. It wouldn’t heat up and her reply to me was to bring another tank of gas. Well if half the grill won’t work gas isn’t gonna help and the microwave kept throwing the breaker in the kitchen and it did not work we had to tote the microwave from the basement to the main floor and she was made aware of all these issues and for the price to me someone should’ve went down to Home Depot whatever and purchased a microwave and definitely grill because you are so far from anything and it is such a long ride along the beach and we had lots of food we planned on grilling and we could not

Great Beach Location

First time in the Outer Banks and the location was perfect. A little intimidating driving off road on beach but after the second day it was a piece of cake. 4WD a must or AWD. Check the Tide schedule before coming and going. Layout of house was nice. Three of the BR led out to covered deck and master led put to upper deck and screened in section. Would have preferred chairs on deck outside of master instead of picnic table. Community door to lower deck did not function so you had to walk through one of the BR to access. Could use some nicer sheets for the bedding and pillows. Pool was nice and hot tub was clean. New furniture on upper deck that was very nice. Living room furniture seemed new and very comfortable. Owners were very responsive from booking until checkout. Over all the house was exactly as listed and we were NOT disappointed. Will definitely book again and recommend.

FAMILIES: THIS IS YOUR DREAM!

We can’t say enough wonderful things about this property. From the moment we walked in, we knew that we had picked a phenomenal location. Driving on the beach can be a little nerve-racking if you have not done it before, but as long as you deflate your tires, you are good to go. The house was so completely serene, and the wild horses visited us almost every day. The beach was not at all crowded, and easily walkable. The pool was amazing, and the house was extraordinarily clean. The property owners were also completely kind and responsive every time we had an issue. For example, The grill was broken and they responded to me within an hour. We will absolutely be looking to book year over year here. There is even a small business owner who drives up and down the beach every day offering ice delivery! Overall, a phenomenal trip for our family and I can’t think the homeowners and property managers enough. 10/10!

Recent Stay

This place has everything you may need for a large group. The location is perfect, the house is lovely, and the lay-out allows for plenty of seating space and areas for guest to gather and relax. The infamous horses are every where. I was able to make meals for 10 people at a time, no problem. Lots of dishes, pots and pans, and utensils. The pool was a great respite after a long day on the beach. The only thing missing was a way to get from the carport to the outside shower, from the outside shower to the pool deck, and then back to the carport and inside without getting covered in sand again. My husband and I enjoyed the lower level bedroom, bathroom and sitting area with a beverage fridge and microwave. Our daughter and her family (hubby and 3 kids) enjoyed the second floor with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. Our son, his wife and 2 children (22 months and 4 weeks) had plenty of room in the master bedroom on the main floor. This lovely home is amazingly perfect. I am only sad the family will be too big next year to rebook it. There was even a small welcome gift upon our arrival of dish soap, sponge, dish towel, coffee and a pretty jar of shells. A very nice touch.

Relaxing

The house was nice inside but really needs a deep cleaning. Kitchen cabinets,drawers,pantry were very dirty. Crumbs,onion peels etc refrigerator was really dirty inside. Freezer had red stuff running down inside it. I found a exploded can of pop in freezer. Dresser drawers had hair inside. Had to ask for sheets and pillow cases that fit beds. Could use some extra towels. One per person really is not enough. Screens surrounding hot tub were broke screens on upper deck where picnic table is all need fixed. Door to screened in area (upper deck) needs replaced. Rotting wood. Could not even put latch to keep it closed because latch is in wrong place. The wood is cracked on Front door where lock is. Looks like someone tried to Push their way in and cracked the wood. Washer was not working properly. Had to run cycle then run a rinse spin cycle to get water out of them. Washer or dryer is leaving black marks on cloths. Ruined some bathing suits and shirts. Light in bedroom with twin beds is not working. Had to use lamps. Refrigerator on bottom floor smells really bad. Weeds need pulled around inside fenced area or pool. Had to have them come fix shower on second floor. Rotting wood around sections of house. Windows are all dirty inside and out. Water was brown due to having well water. Owners did have cleaning service come with sheets and maintenance come and fix shower in timely manner. The house overall is nice but needs some fixing. Loved the beach and horses

Wild Horses

What a great house and location. If you want a peaceful vacation this is it. The house was spacious and clean with a great view. There is noth8ng like waking in to see the sunrise on the top deck with a cup of coffee. We took picture's of the wild horses who walked around the house. The dining room has the perfect view to watch the ocean while eating dinner. We did not use the pool or hot tub but they were clean and ready for use. There was a small hickup one day with the A/C unit but the owners got it fixed in a few hours. The dogs loved the house and sunbathing on the deck. We hope to visit this location in future years.

Nice house with a few minor issues

The property was nice and as described. We had a nice stay with minimal issues. These were the type of things one would expect at a remote beach home at the end of a rental season. The owner was very responsive and did as much as could reasonably be expected to address them. The home was a good price for the size a layout. The owner allowed us to bring an extra pet without hesitation. He has not owned the property for very long so he obviously hasn't had time to make many updates. My suggestion would be to upgrade some appliances and hardware to commercial grade items. Due to all the sand and salt the door knobs and other door hardware did not function properly on several doors. I'm not sure if higher quality hardware would make a difference considering the conditions though. We had great time with our family. The wild horses loved to graze on the property almost daily while we were there.

What a great property!

The pictures do not do this location justice. The location is perfect if your looking to be away from the rush of everything. as we were. You will need to plan ahead on what you need to bring and ensure you don't overfill your vehicle as it will get stuck easily if it is weighed down. We brought everything we needed for a week and plenty of drinking water (the property is on a well). The Foodlion in Corrolla has tons of water so even if you don't bring enough there is a place to get more. The hot tub and pool were amazing and the beach is a 3 minute walk (only because the sand is deep). We woke every day to horses which my daughter loved. The house is quite large and you'll need to ensure your ready for the stairs especially during the unpacking and packing part of the trip. The view from the third floor is amazing and the the second floor deck is great for napping. There was a closet with plenty of umbrellas and chairs for the beach so you don't need to bring that. The drive from the end of the road to the house depends on time of day. Early to mid day the drive is easy and afternoon to evening it gets pretty busy. Don't be afraid to go around slower moving vehicles as you could end up stuck behind them when they get stuck. For parking on the beach you'll need to pre-order the permits online as they only issue 300 a week (this filled up quickly when we went). I would say this stay and this property are top notch and I and my family enjoyed every moment and plan to go back!

Stay was okay

First I want to say that the house was priced very well and considering what we paid its a situation of you get what you pay for. The owner is was very nice and responded timely as did his handy men. I just felt like the pictures online do not represent what we had when we got there. The pool even though we could not use it (and we knew that) was an eyesore. The house was surface clean but not deep cleaned but thats okay its the beach. The biggest issue is the water temp and pressure. There was only enough hot water for maybe 1 shower a day and if someone was showering you could not run water anywhere else in the house at the same time. We had an issue with the hot tub not working and being very nasty but we worked with Steve and his guys had it up and running for the last 2 1/2 days of our 7 day trip. We took trash out 2 or 3 times a day so as not to encourage ants but no one ever came to actually pick up the trash so it really piled up for the week and was starting to attract critters. I don't want to say it was horrible because it wasn't. We have stayed at way worse places. I think we were just disappointed because on the pictures we had this awesome idea of what it would be like and it wasn't. It is a lovely home and has great potential if it where to be updated/remodeled a little bit. Like I said though Steve and his team were very good and there is nothing negative to say about them or how we were treated :)
