Charming Tiny Cottage

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was good, communication with host was hit and miss! Over all would stay again. "

Carova Beach Canal Front Cottage 4x4 required Beach Parking Pass provided

10/10 Excellent

"What impressed us most was the beauty of the land, the live oak trees, the egret and the great blue heron hunting from the shore in the yard. The comfort of the swings hanging from the live oak limbs was great. Yesterday, after a full day at the beach with our dog, we settled in the Adirondack chairs, put our feet up on the inactive fire pit to read and enjoy the sunny breeze and the quiet as the day came to an end. It was so restful.The house, the deck, the yard. Well thought out and shows the gentle care that it deserves. The gliders on the deck call you to rock a bit. Enjoy the view. Watch the world. The house has everything we could think of and then some. Loved that they had beach chairs for us to use. Lovely decorations. Not kitschy. Comfy. Not overdone. No wasted space. So nice to have a human sized space after seeing all the glitzy McMansions lining the beach and roads. An ideal spot. Highly recommended!"

4X4 only! Canal front. Ocean AND sound views! Decks and porches on all levels.

"The Carte’s were extremely pleased with our stay for the 2025 Labor Day holiday. The house was amazing, clean and Phil was extremely helpful with answering our questions about the area. The best part of our trip was by far the wild horses and the seclusion of the Rusty Crab. We recommend booking a visit at this house and giving it a 10 out of 10!!!"

Canal front. 4WD area. Hot tub. Screened-in porch. Large deck. Game room.

"Our first time on the 4x4 side of the beach was wonderful. The house is beautiful. The amenities were great! Alan, the property owner, and Kevin, the property manager, were fantastic and super helpful. They got us through hurricane Erin unscathed "

"Wow! Is all I can say! This vacation far exceeded my expectations! We’ve never been to a 4x4 beach and remote area quite like this! The location of your house set back from rows of houses and people is the most relaxing part! Seeing the wild horses every day, except one day, during our stay was a dream come true! Exciting nature and all types of wildlife surround you…deer, rabbits, birds of prey, raptors, frogs, hummingbirds, fish galore, turtles, all in your back yard (just to name a few!)! We absolutely loved it here! My husband and son fished quite a bit. We utilized the kayaks and the hot tub. Your amenities are too many to count and mention but know that they are greatly appreciated! Your gift bag and ornament was icing on the cake! Thank you! Your house was perfect for our family of 6. Updated and stocked! We want to come back and hope to make that happen someday again!"

"This VRBO rental in Carova Beach was exactly as described. Check-in was simple, the house was clean along with sheets, towels and blankets. If you know Carova Beach, you should be aware that the water will smell like sulfur. Be sure to bring your own drinking water and any other items you need because there are no shops after leaving Corolla. The power in the kitchen remains faulty, the only outlets functioning in the kitchen are closest to the refrigerator and stove, which was no problem for our stay. No high chair available. Classic coffee pot available! Please list that there is a Gas grill available! The kitchen sink would benefit with a silicone strainer; The current metal one stops the flow of water down the drain unless you lift it. Thank you, we enjoyed your home and our weekend vacation! "
