4x4 Access: Reaching Carova Beach is part of the adventure - the home is accessible by driving approximately 9 miles on the beach sand. A properly equipped 4WD vehicle is required. 2WD or standard AWD vehicles cannot make the trip and may become stuck, which can result in towing charges. If anyone in your group won’t have a 4WD vehicle, we’re happy to share nearby paved parking options so you can ride out together. Once at the house, plan for about a 30-minute drive to grocery stores, restaurants, and shopping. We are located in the Northern OBX of NC.

Wild Horse Sightings: The famous Corolla wild horses roam freely through Carova and are often seen near the house and on the beach - a memorable part of staying here!
