The house description was accurate, everything that was said to be included along with the toiletries was there. Although i will say the charcoal grill was unable to be used as it was sort of rusty but everything else was perfect! Definitely saw many wild horses and it was a short walk to the beach!

We had an amazing stay at this amazing home!! The home was clean, spacious, and well maintained. The views were amazing and we were surprised we were able to see some horses out here during the winter! The initial drive in was intense if your new to beach driving, which we were, but after the first day we were going back and forth on that sand non-stop! James was an amazing host and responded quickly to our questions. We hope to come back and stay again, this was an amazing trip!!

It was very fun driving on the sandy beach to get to the home. The beach was so relaxing and the house had toiletries and a lot of bath towels. There was a TON of living space to hang. Horses and deer came right up to the house, it was so beautiful. The beds and couches were ver comfy.

Verbesserungswürdig: Check-in
Unfortunately, we experienced several issues during our stay. On our first night, we had to disassemble the refrigerator (after the temperature rose significantly and things began melting in the freezer) intake and thoroughly clean the coils, which had what appeared to be months of accumulated debris. As a result, we lost food and temperature-sensitive medical supplies that had to be replaced the following day, requiring an inconvenient trip into town.In addition, the water softener is extremely loud and was not addressed. The ceiling fan in the master bedroom did not have a remote, so it could not be operated without leaving the light on. We were also unable to access the garage to get the beach chairs because it was locked.While we appreciate your efforts to address some of the maintenance concerns, these unresolved issues significantly impacted our stay. In light of the inconvenience and the additional expenses we incurred, we would like to request a partial refund of 25% of our rental cost.Thank you for your time and consideration. We look forward to hearing from you.

excellent private get away
we enjoyed this vacation and was so grateful to be allowed to have our pups. we were a little disappointed the upper floor had no AC which is where the kitchen is. However we slept awesome on great a great mattress at that floor was air conditioned. The AC was repaired about 5 th day we were there because they, AC contractors, were so busy after a storm that had come through. Overall excellent stay and will come back!!

Great week, property is exactly as described. Lots of space, nice kitchen. Easy stroll to the beach. Great shopping nearby, we brought a lot of food with us, wouldn’t do that next time. Wild horses visited property a couple of times. All in all great vacation.
One word of warning, it is 9.1 miles of beach driving to get to property, if you don’t have a 4 wheel drive you will not make it. All wheel drive doesn’t do it.
Prepare well and this is a great place. I would bring your own pots and pans, ones in house are a little worn.

Such a fun experience!
I am thankful they reiterated that we needed a 4x4 vehicle etc because that was definitely necessary, with that said, it made for such an unforgettable experience. It was so cool driving right on the beach and the home itself was in great condition. It smelled good, was super clean and bright. I thought the goodie bag at the beginning was a nice touch with many things provided such as extra blankets, pillows, some starter materials such as paper towels, toilet paper, paper plates etc. Also some beach supplies was available in the closet. In comparison to the first house we stayed at during the first week of our visit and then this house, this home exceeded our expectations and stood out. Thank you for a great experience and stay!

Stay at Carova Beach
We really enjoyed our time at the property. Overall, the property met our needs, including our two small dogs. Carova Beach isn't for the faint of heart - be prepared for the 4x4 driving on the beach. The house is about 8 miles from the last paved road in Carolla. This wasn't an issue for us, we had our F150 with 4-wheel drive. We absolutely enjoyed the time on Carova Beach - lots of relaxation, cooking dinners, watching the horses, walks on the beach with our dogs (and swimming), and hiking up to False Cape State Park. The large shells (including a full conch shell) were amazing. The house was extremely comfortable (including mattresses, and bedding). We ran into a few hiccups but we received quick responses to these and most were resolved during our stay. I would definitely recommend this property and I'm hoping that the Property Management Team will address the last of the minor items to make the house even-more perfect.

Overall great experience
Our check-in/check-out process was very easy. The owner communicated well and was great to work with. The house was very clean and updated beautifully, which made it very comfortable to stay in for the week! This house does not have a pool or hot tub which we knew going into it. Being that the house was oceanfront we didn’t feel we would have used a pool much anyway. However, I would have loved to sit and soak in a hot tub at night! That would be a terrific addition to the property.
Also, there isn’t a grill on the property. We purchased our own and brought it to the house. Not a big deal, but wanted people to know prior to arrival so they would be able to do the same.
Overall, we had a great week. We were more than pleased with our accommodations.

Fun location, disappointing experience
Carova is a very cool location to visit. Getting there definitely requires 4WD but it's worth it. The remoteness of the area, the quiet of the beaches, and seeing the horses and traces of other wildlife were all very cool.
Unfortunately the home had not been cleaned at all when we arrived. Beds were not made and linens were dirty from previous guests. It appeared no one had been in the home in a long time, perhaps months, as there was mold in the coffee machine and sand over all the floors. The water was not turned on when we arrived and I had to go and find the water valve to turn on the water in the home. We notified the owner immediately upon our arrival but did not hear back from the for about 24 hours. Cleaners were sent after we had been at the home for 36 hours, 1 day before we were to leave. Once cleaned, the home was fine but this very much tainted our experience.

Carova Family Vacation
Our group of 13 people (3 families with kids ranging from 6yo-17) stayed for a week. The property was just as described. The location was perfect, just off mile marker 22 and with direct access to the beach. The kids, even the youngest, were comfortable walking back and forth from the house to the beach. The outdoor shower and hose were great to get the sand off and keep the house clean (well, as clean as possible... there's always going to be some sand with kids and a beach). The house was well outfitted with linens, enough bedrooms for all, and enough kitchen ware for all. The open concept 3rd floor was great for the family in the evenings for meals, games, and music. The property manager was readily available at all times and check-in and check-out were automated and well run. The downsides... it's an older house that was refurbished. So, there were minor issues like a dishwasher that was unstable (we put in a couple of screws in the side per manufacturer recs to stabilize it), loose door handles, etc. All in all, I highly recommend the home. I would definitely stay again.

A Unique Experience
Wonderful lodging and a unique experience
Big house, that comfortably sleeps 2 “high count” families. Not just sleeps. Beautiful open spaces for a large group to move unobstructed around each other, enjoy the natural light that permeates the house, and the view from the wall-to-wall windows. Newly and pragmatically furnished and overstocked in the kitchen
The house is reachable only after a 15-20 drive on the beach or sandy road. This was almost harrowing on the night of our arrival, but wonderful fun every other time. This was our first experience of beach driving and we arrived after dark and at high tide - DON’T do that. Especially if you’re not experienced. But also don’t let this small challenge discourage you and alter your choice. You’d be missing out. Do better research than I did. The tricks of beach driving are not all intuitive. For example: I never would have thought that waiting for a wave to recede in order to drive around an obstacle is the right thing to do. In our case, it was a house built close to the water, and the driving advice was given to me by an official beach patrol member.
Although there are several good restaurant choices listed, we think in this case the most enjoyable meals are at the house. So stock up, relax, avoid the reservation process, the crowd, the drive and Enjoy! It was a great trip for us.

I checked the messages during your stay and it seemed you had a great stay and the only item you reached out about was the thermostat not working properly which I was able to address for you right away. I am disappointed that you felt as though the stay was 3 stars when that was not mentioned at all during your stay.
