Family Vacation
The stay was great. The house was clean and well maintained. We had horses in our backyard and walking under the porches on the house, which was AMAZING to see! Absolutely beautiful area. We would stay again. My only complaint is the pool was advertised as being heated when I booked it but was not an option after booking.

Wonderful Week!
My family and I love the Outer Banks and have always stayed in Duck. This year, we decided to try something different and stay in Carova. We had absolutely amazing weather! Driving on the beach was definitely a bit intimidating but we paid attention to the tides and had minimal problems getting in and out. (Got stuck once in a Chevy Traverse, but luckily we had a big truck with our group to pull us out!) The ‘roads’ once you turn over the dune were very loose, but I think the dry weather contributed to that. The house was an absolutely perfect fit for our family. Clean, plenty of space, and lots of bathrooms! The views from all sides of the home were breathtaking, and we were fortunate enough to see horses a few times throughout the week very near the property. The pool was very clean and an awesome space. The speakers were a huge plus- super easy to run Bluetooth to stream music from a phone. The kitchen was well equipped, which was great since we opted to cook most meals at the house. The extra living spaces were perfect for when the guys wanted to watch football. On our first few days, we took a very long trek to the beach, not knowing the best way. We spoke with a local who guided us through the back ‘yard’ and over the dune, which was much more efficient, but definitely not the best for young kids. We brought a beach wagon but were unable to use it since it wouldn’t have made it up and over the steep/lumpy/bumpy dune. FYI- once it gets dark, there were a lot of mosquitoes outside. We got bit up by the hot tub… leave the doors closed so they don’t get inside!! We were loading up our car the last evening and unfortunately a bunch of mosquitoes got in the basement. We had an amazing time and would recommend staying in this home, as long as you have reliable 4 wheel drive!

The Best Location
We have now stayed in Corova twice and this location was just the right distance based on the time it takes to get back to the main road. The house was clean with multiple unobstructed views of the ocean. The bedroom set-up was perfect for our family and the two dishwashers were definitely a plus. We will be staying here again.
