Hot to Trot is a vacation home in Corolla 4WD beach (also known as Carova) located in the heart of where the Corolla Wild Horses roam freely. You need a 4WD or AWD car (preferably truck or SUV for ground clearance) to get to the home. Additional reviews on FB Hot to Trot Carova Vacation House.
We are located approx 9 miles from the end of highway 12 at Milepost 21.5 and ACCESSIBLE BY 4WD/AWD ONLY. You will be driving on sand at the end of the paved road. This canal front home is an refreshed 5 bedroom, 4 bathroom vacation rental that sleeps 14 guests comfortably. The home was modernized in 2017 and received many additional updates in 2022 and 2023. In 2022, we invested in a charcoal filtration with reverse osmosis water system installed in our home to combat the infamous Carova water. Contrary to previous reviews, the home’s water system has been overhauled and the water quality has been vastly improved. Other recent home updates include new sleeping beds, granite countertops, new deck railings, new intelligent TVs in 3 bedrooms, intelligent TVs in living room and game room, new bathroom faucets and shower fixtures, new ceiling fans, new kitchen refrigerator with ice maker, a new microwave and more!
Hot to Trot is located roughly 950 feet to the ocean. Upgraded with luxury floor throughout, there are 4 bedrooms with queen beds on the 2nd and 3rd floors. On the 1st floor there is a comfortable bunk bed hideaway with 3 sets of bunk beds to sleep up to 6 guests. Linen service is available for an additional fee or bring your own.
This home is a 2 min. drive to the beach...you can tailgate all day. Get in your 4WD/AWD car and open your trunk and savor the day! No need to hand carry your supplies. We provide beach chairs, cornhole boards (bring your own bags) and kayaks during your stay (over $500 in saved costs compared to renting your own items!)
The kitchen is well-outfitted with most tools to prepare a gourmet meal! In the great room on the upper level, there is a huge dining table and breakfast bar to accommodate guests at meal time. Want to do some outdoor cooking? There is a park style charcoal grille available on the ground level.
At Hot to Trot, there is a fun game room with a pool table and foosball to keep kids of all ages entertained. Want to discover the canals or the Currituck Sound? Borrow any of our 3 kayaks that come with your rental and paddle around- 1 tandem and 2 single kayaks are available to discover the surrounding areas. Bring your fishing poles on vacation to the beach or use them in the canal. You could catch both saltwater fish and freshwater fish. There is even hiking in close by False Cape State Park. What an adventure!
On the outside of the home, there is seating for outdoor dining and ultimate relaxation. On the ground level, you will find an outdoor shower to wash away the sand from your beach day. If you feel like calming at home, there is a private pool and hot tub to soak in the rays. Savor the handsome outdoors on 2 enormous decks that wrap around the home. You will see wild horses frolicking around the canal and witness splendid sunsets from these roomy decks and outdoor seating.
Want to connect with something other than the striking outdoors? There is wifi in the home along with 5 intelligent flat screen TVs. A library of movies is available, along with many board games and books.
Come visit Hot to Trot and make memories for a lifetime!
Dogs are considered on a case by case basis. $150 fee per approved dogs. No other family pets allowed please.
High chair available. Please make arrangements prior to arrival.

Finding the best Currituck vacation home experience:
Find your perfect vacation home:
- Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
- To get the largest rental for your budget, we strongly suggest reserving in Fall or Spring months. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Currituck vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
- Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your family qualifies for a price reduction.
- Property managers frequently offer renters an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
- Find a copy of your local Currituck area magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, travel guides have deals for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.
Make a plan and pick the right Currituck rental home:
- Select a designated group leader, choose your trip dates, and choose a budget.
- Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. Booking for Summer 2024.Visit OBX! Free beach parking passes! has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
- Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is regularly available on booking pages. If not, email the host before booking your rental. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds.
- Some rental properties allow pets, and others don't. Acceptable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the property manager about allowable breeds and types before booking.
- Looking for particular amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
- Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking.
More tips for your visit:
- Put the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
- Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or coffee maker. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent many difficulties.
- Keep your rental home locked while you are away! Don't let burglars spoil your family vacation.
- During arrival, note any damages to the property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
- Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a terrific resource to find the best local attractions.
- Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
- Upon check-out, complete a final walk-through to confirm you have not leave anything behind. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
- Go through the property one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, ensure that you take photos of the property to record its condition.
- Leave feedback! Property managers rely on good reviews to stimulate future reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
