A family vacation full of memories! House was awesome and enough room for everyone to spread out. Well stocked kitchen with all the necessities. All the kids really enjoyed the game room and the pool! The wrap around deck was a favorite for everyone to search for the horses. Will definitely be back!!

Great stay!

Such a great house! We especially loved the size of the home (great for large groups) and remote location. The owner/manager provided clear, concise email communication and a contactless check in/out. We appreciated having 2 dishwashers, 2 washer/dryer units, and used the large water filter daily. The location is remote and we loved seeing the wild horses daily! We agree with other reviews that the property could use some upgrades. For example, the decking shows heavy signs of wear and tear from age and weather. We wanted to use the volleyball court but the weeds/grass were too overgrown. Overall, we had a lovely week and would consider staying here again!

Perfect

This house was perfect for our stay. It was very clean and the kitchen is stocked with everything you will need for the week including a crock pot and blender. The views from the house were great and we saw horses in the yard all through the week! The beach was very close and it was beautiful! This was our first time in OBX and we are already talking about coming back next year! Hot tub and pool were also nice after a day at the beach. We would definitely recommend this house to others. You will not be disappointed! Laura was great and answered all my questions VERY quickly! Thanks for everything! We had a great time!!!!

Pure Relaxation

We had another great year at Carova! This was our first time staying at this property and it did not disappoint. I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of “extras” they had for guests! I ended up bringing stuff I didn’t need too (normally it’s stuff properties don’t have). I lug along a big air compressor to blow up pool and beach toys (they had it) I lug along my margarita machine (they had it). Books, games (they had it). Cornhole boards (they had them) A griddle (they had it). That’s on top of the awesome amenities… ping pong, pool, fooseball and air hockey! Our kids had a blast! This was our first time not staying oceanfront and we didn’t mind the change. The crows nest gave you an awesome view for the sunrises (better than being oceanfront) The drive/walk to the beach access was right down the street and very convenient. A few things to keep in mind… the beach chairs could use some TLC or bring your own, the spiders inside the home were kinda a nuisance, we couldn’t get the propane grill to work (but the griddle came through for the win) but the charcoal grill was great. All the bedrooms were amazing but felt the shared bathrooms were small since 3-4 people would share it. Last but not least… this one is for the moms!!! Dual Laundry and 2 dishwashers in the main kitchen were a DREAM! (Plus the basement kitchen had a dishwasher as well) We’d definitely stay here again! Thank you for sharing your property with us!

Fantastic Week!

We had a fantastic week at this lovely house. The location and house were perfect. The house was very clean and the kitchen was so well stocked. We enjoyed the pool, hot tub, game room, and crow’s nest! The horses visited in the backyard most days, and it was a short walk or drive to the beach. Highly recommended!

Best equipped house

….we’ve ever stayed at. Well suited to accommodate a large group of all ages. All enjoyed the wild horses showing up in the front and back yards and on the beach. Must have 4 wheel drive vehicles to access but the ride along the beach is an experience you will not forget. Short walk or ride to the beach. You can park next to your tent or umbrella.

Great Location and Nicely Stocked Home

It's not a perfectly crisp new house and there are signs of age if you look closely, but it has charm that allows one to overlook the imperfections. There are great public spaces in this home - plenty of seating around the TV, at the dining table, and the bonus is the cute nook a few steps up off the family room which always seemed to call to people. There are many outdoor spots from which to take in the beautiful views and enjoy the ocean breeze. Beds were comfortable and there is an HVAC zone on each floor. The house really has about everything you can possibly need - kitchen is stocked with appliances and utensils, water purifier, there are labels on all of the cabinets so you know what goes where. The game room downstairs has a pool table, air hockey table, ping pong table, dart board... volleyball and horseshoes outside. Really, if you get bored in this house you have a problem. Issues - the house presentation was a bit of disappointment when we arrived from previous guests smashing bugs on the walls, deflated pool toys in front of the house, dog waste. We called the mgmt company and they were immediately there and took care of everything to our satisfaction. Bathrooms are all pretty small and lack counter space - this was not an issue for our group, but may bother some. Minor item, but fixable - the door on the fridge swings the wrong way for the kitchen so you're blocked off from the food prep area with the door open. They make the swing changeable for this reason. Simple fix that would improve the livability of the kitchen. We very much enjoyed staying in this house and will certainly consider a return in the future.

A property worth rebooking

This property is on its way to being an amazing family friendly listing. Our vacation taught us a lot about the things that property owners deal with. However without a great management company the renter can be left with a lot of hiccups. Laura and David at Carova Cottages are the most amazing people to have had the luxury to work with. They are literally willing to do whatever they can to help out even if it’s dropping off extra propane at 1030 at night. Their help, ease, and efficiency of getting in touch with made every question easy to ask and quick to be answered. The horses are visible on any deck and sometimes the pool. You’ll have amazing sunrises, sunsets, and rain storms in the crows nest and screen patio. The kiddie pool was prestine and perfect for our 7/8 yo. We even sat in it. Perfect amount of privacy and yard for quiet fun. Make sure you turn all the lights off at night: To see the stars and rid the side of the house of bugs. The bedrooms are great and bathrooms are good. Kitchen had everything we needed and then some. Overall it’s an amazing place to stay. Laura will help you out with anything but you shouldn’t need much! She made our vacation what it was! Already tons of pool stuff, air compressor, and an ice machine that just needs to be hooked up to water. Enjoy everything! It goes by too fast!
