This impressive getaway is surrounded by live oaks, whimsical art, wild horses, and ocean waves. Carova Beach is a really special refuge from our busy world-- a ideal place to reconnect with yourself and appreciated ones. The 3 bedroom home is on a dead-end sandy road with no neighbors in sight, just a 3 min drive from the beach. There is nothing better than calming on the hottub here, surrounded by live oak trees in complete privacy listening to the sound of the ocean under brilliant starry pinpricks of light in the dark sky. There's original, playful art in every room, ideal inspiration for finishing up that novel I know you have in you! A 4WD (or AWD with high clearance) car is needed to drive up to the home.

The home is lovingly decorated with playful ocean paintings and a cute surfer vibe. There are three bedrooms: the master Rainbow bedroom has a king bed, the second Wave bedroom has a double bed in it, and the third Mermaid bedroom has two twins set up as a bunkbed. There are two bathrooms in the home. One is in the hall between the Mermaid room and the Wave room, while the other is located inside the master Rainbow bedroom.

The home is located in Carova Beach, a sparely developed area of coastal North Carolina. Separated from the rest of Corolla by nature and wildlife preserves, Carova Beach is accessible only by driving on the beach for about 20 mins.. Carova Beach is a time capsule, and still feels exactly like it did in the 1980s, with sand roads and wild horses. It's a ideal location for people who want to reconnect with nature and take a break from operating in a world constructed on concrete. The home is super private, and is located on the sound side of North Swan Beach, but has amenities to help you stay connected to the outside world, like reliable Brightspeed Internet, WiFi, multiple Roku TVs, and a intelligent speaker.

You may see wild horses in the maritime forest at the home or in the dunes on your way to and from the beach. There are often horses hanging out around the home (sometime taking a nap in the driveway!). The beach itself is a fast 10 min walk or a 3 min. drive away from the home and parking on the beach is allowed. A beach parking pass (necessary in the high season) is supplied with the home rental.

The trip up to the home is a fun and simple adventure. Before you start your drive down the beach off the pavement, air down your tires to about 15 or 20 psi. This is important to do even if you have a 4 x 4 that you think will not get stuck, as it helps avoid making enormous ruts on the beach. Time your trip as close to low tide as possible, stay in tire tracks when possible, and go slowly, keeping a wide distance from horses/people.

The Carova Beach boat ramp is a five min. drive from the home and there is a modest playground there. If you'd like to go out to dinner or to the grocery store or climb the Currituck Lighthouse, the drive back down to the pavement takes about 20 to 25 mins.. It's best to stock up on everything you think you might need on the way up at the Harris Teeter or Food Lion in Corolla! It is a Robinson Crusoe mini adventure, and its advised to keep an eye on the tide and to also get travel insurance if an unexpected storm/nor'easter comes up. We very rarely lose power at the home, but if so, the electric well cannot pump water, so you may wish to bring bottled water with you. Please bring your own beach chairs and beach towels too. There is no pool or Hottub. Starter paper towels, toilet paper, dishwashing detergent, and laundry detergent are included, but will only last a day or two, so you will need to bring your own if you are staying for longer.

We try to be as environmentally conscious as possible, so separation of trash and recyclables is encouraged. There is a regular coffee pot, a teat kettle for the stove, and a intelligent Keurig machine. A reusable Keurig filter is supplied if you would like to bring your own ground coffee. (Regular K cups work too and can be recycled!)

You are welcome to bring your dog to appreciate the beach with you, and there is a fenced in area of the yard. Please be respectful of the rules for the dog, and do not allow them on any of the furnishings or beds.

Getting the best Corolla vacation property experience:

Get the most from your budget:

• To get the best value, try changing your family's Currituck vacation dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer warmer temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer.
• In the Currituck area, The earlier your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental homes are reserved very early. Reserving your rental property six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your vacation home.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Currituck area travel guides which will include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Currituck visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Begin by selecting vacation dates and a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. Green Wave Cottage @Carova Beach NC 4x4 Artsy Nature Private Retreat ???? ???? Hottub has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually accessible on booking websites. If not, reach out to the property management company before you book your rental. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Looking for specific amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement! Pet fees or applied to your agreement.

More tips for your visit:

• Get the property manager's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property.
• To make sure that no damages are linked to your family's visit, make note of any problem areas upon your arrival. Make contact with the host right away to relay any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, intercom or thermostat. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent a lot of issues.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors disrupting your life at home. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and attractions you would've not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the property to make sure you've collected all personal items. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a excellent time? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your property and/or property management company was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
