Salty Anchor oceanfront sunrise Carova4WD only! Pets not allowed!

Steps to ocean in beautiful sand streeted 4x4 community where wild ponies roam! Large open top floor with abundant space for families to commune and plenty of private bedroom space. Beautiful artistic details throughout. Porches for sunrise ocean views with coffee, sunset cocktails and shaded porch for respite from summer sun.

Accessible by 4x4 only. Approximately 2.6 miles up the beach. Not Pet Friendly...

Settle in for a memorable stay by the sea at “The Salty Anchor”! This classic and charming semi-oceanfront home combines the peace and serenity of a 4x4 vacation with the convenience of a short 2.6 mile drive to the paved roads of Corolla to visit shops, restaurants and attractions. Spend your days with your toes in the sand and relaxing on the new decks overlooking the unique landscape. Be sure to keep watch for wild horses playing in the dunes!

Stroll down a sandy path near the home to get to the ocean’s edge, or load up your 4-wheel drive vehicle with chairs, coolers and beach toys and park on the beach instead. Enjoy salty breezes and ocean views from the top-level sun deck or lounge in the shade on the covered deck on the mid-level. Savor more sights of the ocean from inside the home in the spacious top floor common areas which includes a great room, kitchen, dining room, and breakfast bar. After a full day of fun in the sun, fire up some friendly competition in the rec room with pool table.

Your stay will leave you relaxed, refreshed, and longing to return to this comfortable cottage. Come enjoy the sand, sun, and sea at “Salty Anchor”!

The house was perfect for a quiet, relaxing vacation. We enjoyed opening the windows, listening to the ocean and letting the breeze come through the main living space on the third level. The drive up the beach to Corolla took only about 10 minutes so it was easy to get to restaurants, stores and other attractions.
