Book a hotel near Martin Vineyards, Knotts Island

"We really enjoyed our stay at Marty's Leap of Faith house on the canals of Carova Beach. The house is very comfortable and well appointed. Water access is better than pictured with a recently dredged canal. The pool and hot tub are great and the house is a quick walk or drive over the dunes to the beach. Lots of fun water toys to explore the canals and we enjoyed a morning fishing charter in which the captain picked us up directly at the dock. Great trip. We're looking forward to planning our return visit."

"Wonderful rural, peaceful waterfront property to launch retirement with my husband and pup! Pristine house and grounds. Every little kitchen amenity you need to cook or bake, complete with coffee bar. Please note - Food storage space is limited for longer stay (we stayed 9 days) so use your big cooler. We grilled and ate in all week. You’ll also love the fun retro vibe. So fun! Clean laundry room with deep sink, potty and sport equipment storage was super handy. The grounds were private on two sides. Nothing but water, birds, ducks, fish jumping, deer, horses, tall pines and sky - pretty spectacular! We enjoyed the kayak, pedal boat, fire pit and fishing poles. I especially loved the choices of tree swings and gliders (on deck). Also appreciated little gate at the top of the deck stairs to keep our Cody safely contained. One impo tip if coming by 4X4 (vs boat) on beach. Check tide schedule. It’s a 30 min drive. You MUST air down to about 18 lbs. Then key tip - turn left off beach when you see the tall fire rescue communication tower (set back a bit) and in front of it a private extensive white walkway/stairway on dune near the beach turn off corner. Turn left there! We missed it the first time and went way off the beaten path after driving 7 hours - not fun! Sherry quickly came to phone rescue 😊 She’s a great communicator. We booked our 2025 spring trip before we left today! Worth the 14 hour drive from CT to have such natural serenity."

"The home enabled us to enjoy our stay in the Outer Banks. We were unfamiliar with the area and the 4X4 beach driving, but love learning new things. The weather was not the best, but with the comforts of the home, we were had a relaxing time playing games, enjoying the hot tub and binge watching TV. The place is quite clean. And I am very picky about that. So thank you for ensuring a comfortable stay."

"The home is beautiful! The location made it an amazing experience. Traveling on the beach to get there and then so many beautiful homes built beyond the dunes. You definitely have to have 4wd or AWD with some clearance. The owner was very responsive. The home was well equipped for a comfortable stay away from home. Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

"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!"

"We had a great week. Kevin was great and help us out when we needed it."
