Sunrise over the ocean and Wild Horses to start your day

Beatiful home with many amenities. Fully equipped kitchen. A lot of space to be on your own or hang out together. Views are spectacular. Tim was very easy to communicate with and very helpful. Make sure you rent a 4x4 if you are getting a rental. It’s a really interesting experience. Definitely a great getaway. Plan ahead to prepare for drives to go places or food shop on the way. The drive is eight miles on the 4x4 beach so there are no local restaurants or stores until you get to the main road. Would definitely recommend if this is what you are looking for!

Great time even with issues

This home is absolutely beautiful. We checked in with no issues. Within the first several hours the blower on the middle floor went out. The owner immediately addressed the issue and had window units installed. The pool is truly lovely. The location is awesome. The decks and walkways could use some attention, but it’s an absolutely wonderful place to stay! Tim is truly amazing and attentive.

Outstanding!

We have rented many times in the OBX and this was one the best! If you can handle the 4x4 drive to get there, you will love this property. You can walk from the house to the pool then over the dune and onto the beach! We also saw horses everyday - including a visit into our carport! The owner was also super friendly and a great communicator.

Great ocean home away from himr

Running on Faith is a wonderful beach house with everything you could need in the kitchen, lots of hang out space, nice pool area and close proximity to the beach. The house was decorated beautifully and very clean. The whole family enjoyed our time together here!

Beautiful home with all the amenities

Our group of friends had a wonderful stay at Tim’s house in Carova. Tim was more than helpful and extremely responsive. The house is absolutely beautiful and so well maintained. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need. The beds are all comfortable, and the appointments in the house have a perfect feel of beach chic. Access to the beach is right over the dune. The hot tub and pool were lovely too. I highly recommend a stay in Tim’s home.

About the host

Hosted by Tim Burress

I grew up in Chatham, NJ and spent my summers on Long Beach Island in Harvey Cedars. I have lived in Boston, NY, and now Richmond, VA with my two fantastic girls Ava and Grace and our dog Finney.

Why they chose this property

Running on Faith has been much more than just a house. It has been a blessing, a place of fond memories, and of great joy from all that have shared our home. When a fire took our beloved home 2013 we were devastated but thankful that no one was hurt. Oddly the guests that were there had decided to leave early and we were delayed in our arrival on the eve of the fire. Running on Faith has blessed all that have entered her door. We are thrilled to rebuild her and share our home once again.

What makes this property unique

For nearly 22 years many guests have shared what they love about our home and perhaps it is best expressed by one note I received several years ago that simply said 'Your home is so easy and comforting we just love returning each year' It truly makes me feel grateful to share our home with all of you.
