Splash of lime was the best family vacation place. There was something for everyone and fun was had by all. Well stocked kitchen and the 5 gallon water dispenser kept us well hydrated. The second fridge came in handy for beverages. Thoughtful details throughout. We never felt like we were missing anything. Carova beach was so special we would be coming back for sure.

Our family had a wonderful stay! We loved the remoteness of the house and the easy walk to the beach. The heated pool was perfect even though it was a chilly week. We can't wait to return!

Hi Deb,
Appreciate the kind review, my pleasure to host. Glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay and we do hope you will come back again.
Cheers,
Marty
The hosts communication was great, the house was not only spacious and clean but the kitchen was well stocked with small appliances and such to make cooking a breeze. We had a lot of fun adventuring around the areas and saw wild horses multiple times! We look forward to returning in the future.

Wonderful to hear! We appreciate the kind review and hope you will be back.
My family enjoyed our stay very much at this property in Carova. It was our first time and decided we’d be back before we even departed. The host was exceptional in accurately describing details about the property and surrounding areas. Excellent communication, ease of booking and the checking in/out process was very simple. The property had everything we needed and YES the horses really visited!!

We had a fantastic stay. We had everything we needed for cooking meals. Yes, it’s remote, but it’s very peaceful and quiet. We wanted to get away from it all with the family, and we spent hours at both the beach (short walk) and playing in the pool. The home is very clean. We saw horses everyday but one. Thanks for a wonderful stay! Would highly recommend!

Loved every single thing about this property! This was our first time to the area and what an adventure! The house was super clean, super comfortable, well stocked and check-in instructions were very clear! Despite Mother Nature and her wind we had a blast and most mornings were greeted by Sir Charles Gordon Whitefoot and his harem! Marty was great and communication was quick. Definitely on our list to visit again! Highly highly recommend!
We had a great stay at Splash of Lime. The house was lovely, and it was very clean. The kitchen was well stocked with supplies (crockpot, blender, etc.). Marty was very responsive with any questions, and we would highly recommend staying.

The house was perfect for our family of five plus a friend, and room for more. My kids of all ages had a blast. The beach is easy to walk to and the horses are everywhere. The owners answered our questions/concerns promptly and even helped us check in early.
Our family vacation at Carova Beach was truly a peaceful paradise. The home had everything we needed and more—beautifully stocked, comfortable, and thoughtfully prepared for guests. It's the perfect place to unplug, relax, and spend meaningful time with family.We will definitely be returning soon and have already shared this gem with our friends and family. This is one of the most accommodating and enjoyable vacation rentals we’ve ever experienced!
Beautiful house, well equipped kitchen, loved the pool & hot tub & Marty was very responsive & made us feel welcome! Loved watching the horses from the front porch!
The house was amazing in every way, I’m already ready to go back!! The only thing I could say negative is i was told a 4-wheel drive was recommended not mandatory and got stuck and started my vacation $575 in the hole, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE 4wheel drive to stay here !!

Hi Chelsea,
Great advice! We do strongly recommend 4WD for this trip, although though some with AWD have made the trip with no issues. It can be tricky depending on the sand and tides. Glad you enjoyed the house and we hope you will be a return guest in the future.
Cheers,
Marty
