This appealing 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, with a hot tub to relax in on the back porch. There is nothing better than calming in the hot tub, 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 painless 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 can not pump water, so you may wish to bring bottled water with you. Please bring your own beach chairs and beach towels too.

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.
