"What a warm and very inviting HOME away from home. It is so well decorated, many books to read on the comfy sofa or near the incredible backyard with so much to see. Just lovely place. Sandy does a remarkable job with the yard and cleaning. I washed my clothes so I don’t need to worry when I get home to do laundry. Love the gas stove and refrigerator. Tact and Keith, thank you for the opportunity to stay. I will be back and spread the word to my coworkers. JD"

"Absolutely fabulous from top to bottom. Myself and several brothers stayed a few days here for a bachelor’s getaway and had an unforgettable experience. This is an amazing home that is clean, wonderfully furnished and an extremely considerate and responsive host. I really appreciated the host staying in contact from before the rental date and through it till the end. The host felt like an old friend! The location is ideal for a comfortable getaway adventure for several people. It’s like a home away from but in paradise. Great access to the beach, two fully equipped kitchens that made cooking a breeze and plenty of room to relax after a long day of fishing or hiking. If you are visiting Corolla beach this is the home to stay in. I know my friends and I will certainly return every time we visit the Outer Banks!"

"Absolutely fantastic trip for my family with three teenagers. A great blend of relaxation and things to do. The host was very friendly and responsive. Would highly recommend."
"I loved the property. Submerged in nature. Was so nice to see ospreys and herons, wild horses everywhere. I loved offroading everywhere, it was so fun. Every turn had a new adventure for me and my dog. The house is tiny but the property is very large. I don't think that should deter anyone. The owners went above and beyond to help me with airing my tires down. They were fantastic hosts. Me and my dog had a great time. "
New in 2024 Carova Beach Canal Front Home!! 4x4 Required
8/10 Good
"The house was everything we needed! Enjoyed the space and all the amenities that came with! Its was very peaceful and quite area! The horses were always around and so cool to see! Only issue we had was the drive on the beach! There was a seal that came on to the beach for several days and was a little tricky to get around at times! But we really enjoyed our time!!!"
Beautiful Waterfront Vacation Rental on the Currituck Sound
6/10 Okay
"We overall enjoyed our stay at this house. The layout was great, the inside was clean and comfortable, the amenities were good! Communication with hosts was quick. However, we were disappointed because it was not really spring- ready; we had to wash out the canoes/ kayaks/ paddle boards of hundreds of spiders, wash the outside chairs to be able to use them, and all of the Wii remote batteries were dead with no replacements. Especially since all properties this particular weekend were up-charged due to the Coast Guard Marathon (which is why we were also traveling), it sucked to pay that much money to spend an hour and a half cleaning the advertised amenities. We would still recommend this house since most of the canoes should be good to go and it’s a great relaxing location! "
The Salty Seahorse! 4x4 beach, private dock, hot tub, pool, Horses. Pet-Friendly
8/10 Good
"Property was easy to get into. Andrew is great to deal with. I forgot my last payment and he texted me to remind me and I was able to pay and not loose my reservation. On key thing, although the listing says 4x4 it was easy for us to overlook the fact that there was an unpaved road on the beach that was required to get to the home. Thank goodness we had 4x4. Couple other things, the rule book in the home mentioned outside access to water for rinsing sand from underneath vehicles, but the outside water wasn’t working. The internet connection mentioned in the book with password, wasn’t working. The network connection listed wasn’t available as listed in the book. Additionally it was mentioned to clean up dog poop or you’ll be charged. We cleaned up so much dog poop that was definitely not from our 17lb Boston terrier. I love this property but there should be more info in the listing. "
