STEPS FROM THE SAND. BEAUTIFUL home in the heart of Carova Beach!

Beautiful semi-oceanfront designed for a complete and utter relaxing serene get away in the heart of wild horses community. It is a semi-oceanfront lot, and a quick easy walk or drive to the water. This beautiful home is perfect for your families get away. It offers 3 1/2 bathrooms (and a 4th outdoors) and sleeps a comfortable 12 people, in its large 4 bedrooms; two bedrooms with king beds with their own bathroom, 1 with a full over a full bunk bed with a full size trundle bed, and a fourth bedroom with 2 sets of bunk beds.

This home is ideally designed to comfortably house two families (ideally 8-10 people) because of limited living room seating.

There is an 8 person hot tub; perfect for those relaxing evenings after putting the children to bed.

4x4 vehicle is highly recommended in this secluded vacation spot. I would not recommend if all you have is a sedan as you drive directly on the beach. This is a vacation you will never forget and you will want to come back every year. Driving distance to the park with picnic tables, charcoal grills and more fishing areas. There are local restaurants/bars located just a short 9 miles from this home and roughly 1 mile after you drive off the sand.

This house is equipped with all your home typically would have. It has WiFi, a 65” TV, and 32” tv in the children’s room both equipped with YouTube TV, Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Prime Video. There are plenty of beach toys (sand castle equipment, giant connect 4, corn hole, Spikeball, large cooler, several boogie boards, pop-up/folding chairs, and a 10x10 easy-up/canopy)

Home is 7.5 miles from the paved road at the end of Rt. 12. Set trip odometer from the paved road to start your drive to the sand/by ocean side. Enter in mile marker 20 (little green signs with numbers). Enter mile marker 20, and it’s the 6th house on left.

Great area to stay. We saw horses 5 days of our stay. House was as expected in pics. Well stocked with paper products, spices, condiments. Owner was responsive and offered early check in to us. House layout was great. We all enjoyed the house and area and highly recommend!

Great Getaway
If you’re looking to getaway this is a great spot, close enough to beach to walk but far enough from busy traffic on the beach. Clean house, great communication with owner throughout the trip. We expected the drive to be slightly rough but due to weather (which no one can control) many of the roads were flooded around this area. Important note to bring drinking water, we unfortunately ran out during our stay and decided to leave a day early.

An adventure in a super nice place!
The house was just as described and was more stocked than any other house we’ve stayed in, particularly with beach gear. We saw horses every single day. Navigating the beach and keeping a lookout for the horses made the trip an extra special adventure for the whole family. We’ve never had a more responsive host. Highly recommend.

Stunning place for an OBX vacation
Our family had a wonderful stay in this house. It is well laid out, very well equipped with everything one might need including a fresh water dispenser which is a big plus in these houses that rely on well water. Another lovely feature of this house is having the "living" area on the top floor so one is able to take in the views of the ocean or the breathtaking sunsets effortlessly. Evan is a fantastic and very responsive owner who has taken the trouble to anticipate just about everything his guests might need in terms of house equipment, kitchen supplies, beach towels, beach chairs and even includes a very helpful little area guide booklet. The location is absolutely perfect, allowing for a short stroll to the beach if one just wants a quick dip or a walk and just a 5 minute drive if one is setting up for the day and taking the car to the beach. We thoroughly recommend this house to any family or group who are looking for a perfect place to stay.

Great Home!
The house was beautiful and fit all our needs. It was very clean and well cared for. There were so many extras that you just don’t get with the rental companies. Evan was very accommodating and responded very quickly.

Amazing
There are very few things that would improve the house overall. The smell of the well water was our biggest complaint. We had an amazing stay and the owner was receptive and quick to respond to our questions.

Hidden gem!
Spectacular views, stunning sunsets and an absolute hidden gem. Our little ones had a fantastic time playing in the dunes and watching the horses stop by in close proximity to the property. An absolute oasis and relaxing week! Can’t say enough of good things about the property and location. We thank Evan for hosting us, and look forward to returning back. 🙂

Awesome spot in a special place
We stayed for a week in mid-March as a cold front moved across the East coast and had an excellent time. Once your tires hit the sand, you’re in a different place. If you don’t have 4x4, look elsewhere. We were traveling with our 7-month-old, which helped us catch some gorgeous sunrises. I’d recommend kitchen sunglasses for anyone cooking an early breakfast. The galley kitchen, long counter/island, and living room is a great hangout spot. The beds and living room furniture are comfy. The included bluetooth speaker was great for happy hour tunes. Mobile reception was totally fine, and Google Maps got us around without a hitch. A hot tub dip when it was 43 degrees and raining was a luxury. We were there at the end of a new moon, and I’d challenge anyone to find a better star-gazing opportunity than this area. The top lookout deck was great for sunsets too. Other decks are covered, which would probably provide a welcome break from the sun in hotter weather. Spend time provisioning beforehand to save yourself unnecessary trips to the store. Getting to “town” and back is at least a 1-2 hour round trip, and that’s time you could be hanging out instead. As a party of 2.5, we took five 2.5 gallon water jugs and it was the right amount. We cooked pasta, steamed seafood, made cocktail ice, and even used it for a quick baby bath. The horses are definitely around. We saw some hanging out in a neighbor’s driveway. We’re looking forward to returning someday!
