About this house rental
This is the "Seaside" at its best—terrific views from every level of this luxurious home, situated right behind the oceanfront dune on the 4x4 beach. One Minute Walk over the dune to the beach!! Three living areas create multiple options for your family vacation. "Seaside" offers an upscale accommodation with six master bedrooms, six full baths and 2 half baths.

We had a wonderful Fourth of July week at Seaside, the location was perfect for our extended family! I love that we are off the beaten path and the kids / teens could choose from the beach, the ocean, the pool, the hot tub or the pool table. We were also lucky because the Euro cup (Soccer) was on we could watch that during downtime. It was so nice to not be in the busyness of the touristy areas. Laura mentioned we may see the wild horses while we were there, well, I don’t know if we had a lucky week or what but they were at the dune in front of our house daily! They even came up to our house next to our cars and we were able to watch them directly from above. Laura responded to me within minutes for my silly and easy questions. I wish I could attach photos to convince you how gorgeous this location is and how worth staying directly on the beach down a ways from the touristy chaos is worth every penny!

Beautiful views and a relaxing atmosphere. This house is everything you expect and more! You can go from sand in your toes to relaxing poolside to hot tubbing under the stars. Listen to the waves while reading on any number of the porches. Fully eguipped kitchen. This place is truly a gem! I guess that's why we keep coming back :)

Seaside seemed to be designed perfectly for my family of 13. Each bedroom having a private bath prevented many fights! A private pool and hot tub was the highlight for the young kids not ready for the surf. We loved the idea of a bit of isolation. driving in the beach everyday was a breeze and a very fun. The ability to stretch out was unique from any other beach we stayed at, it was like having a private beach. Overall, this was a perfect place to stay for a large group who just want to relax. You will not find a better management experience anywhere communication and flexibility with Laura was outstanding.

House was just as described and very clean. We were very happy with everything. Having two dishwashers and two refrigerators was very helpful for our large crew. Also, the fact that each bedroom has its own bathroom was wonderful. Our toddlers loved that the outside shower had warm water to rinse the sand off. The management team is excellent and were very prompt to answer our questions. We had a seafood boil catered to out to us by Outer Banks Boil Company, and it was delicious!! The views from this house are incredible. We watched dolphins swim just offshore daily and had horses in our backyard. The only thing I could criticize was the number of towels provided. However, in my experience with rental homes, that is always an issue. Knowing this we try to pack extra. With a washer and dryer available, it wasn't really a problem. I would also caution travelers with young children. The drivers on the beach are not always attentive and can drive quite fast, so you have the ocean in front of you and a busy road behind when you are at the beach. Overall, we had a wonderful time and would recommend this house to anyone who wants to enjoy the OBX.

The property was perfect for a large Family. Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. The kitchen was well equipped with everything you need to cook your meals. The pool and the Hot Tub was nice after a long day on the beach. I would bring lots of bottled water and ice for drinking and cooking. The Property Manager was excellent!

What a great experience all around! Laura was in constant contact as we asked questions about what we needed to bring for our 15 month old grand baby. Everything was just as we expected and then some. I have to say, it's wild driving on the sand! You truly need 4WD!!! The house is incredibly well stocked with everything you need in a kitchen to extra books (my 88 year old mom found a book she thoroughly enjoyed from the bookshelf) in the living room... floats in the pool and lots of chairs, boogie boards, toys... We loved having the beach just over the dune. We would drive our truck to the beach with all the tents, chairs and coolers. Others just walked up and over the dune back and forth as needed to the house because it's right there! We didn't use the pool much but we did have a girls day around the pool while the guys golfed. We do a family Olympics every year and it was fun to have the pool table in the basement. We incorporated that into our family competition for the week. And seeing the horses in various places throughout the week was pretty cool too.
Thanks for having us and we highly recommend Seaside at Corolla!!

We absolutley loved this property. Had horses come right up to the fencing for the pool. Pool was nice, hot tub was fantastic. The people who we rented from were incredible. Easy to contact and talk to. Sadly we had to cut our vacation a day short because we weren't sure how things would be effected by Hurricane Ian. It was super windy and rainy. The beach driving was amazing, we had an f150, two jeeps, and a Kia. The only time we had trouble was during the storm on the way out. We definitely recommend.

A wonderful home! Excellent location. Easy walk to the beach. Saw the horses several times and a couple even came up to our front steps. The house provided enough space for everyone, wonderful amenities, well stocked kitchen. The extra fridge in the game room came in very handy! The pool is a good size, larger than expected and the hot tub enabled us to soak in the stars at night. We've stayed with Carova Cottages the past 3 years and every year the management outdoes itself! They are always ready to answer any questions and resolve even the smallest of issues. Thank you, Laura! We would definitely recommend this house and stay here again.

Our children are grown and this was the first family vacation we have had with all of us together in over 10 years. To say this place was perfect for our family is an understatement. This place has it all! Plenty of room to gather -open kitchen, dining and living room...The kitchen has any and everything you could need! EVERY BEDROOM HAS ITS OWN BATHROOM! -with a large group, this is a must! Also, all but the lower level bedrooms have deck access, with the Master offering a private deck. The upper and mid level decks offer a perfect view of the ocean. We spent our mornings out there watching dolphins and/or the wild horses that roam the area and the evenings listening to the waves crash late at night. There several sitting areas throughout the house to allow everyone to spread out and have some space if need be. The bottom floor has a wet bar, ice machine and full size refrigerator (a huge plus!), a pool table and sitting area. We spent most every night in this area playing pool and just enjoying each other’s company. Included w/the house are beach chairs, 2 beach parking passes that allow you to simply load up a cooler and everything you want/need, drive, park and spend your day on the beach! It would be very remiss of me not to mention Laura, she was absolutely wonderful to work with, answered all our questions and was so very nice. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

The house was nice, but needs to be updated. The walkway to the beach was a giant sand dune that had you had to climb up and then go down. I actually fell going down because it was kind of steep. Not sure if there can be anything done with that because of all the laws with sand dunes. We did have perfect weather and spent lots of family time which is the most important thing.

Great Experience
The location is beautiful--I thought that driving on the sand would be obnoxious, but the beach travel is a blast. The house is a two-minute walk from the beach--probably the most beautiful beach that I have been to in my (not particularly well-traveled life).
Laura was incredibly responsive to our concerns. For example, the dryer went out immediately before our stay, and she promptly had it replaced with a new one. She always responded to my text messages within an hour or two.
The house itself met our needs perfectly, with, most notably, a well-stocked open-concept kitchen, dining, and common area, and a deck with a beautiful view.
Highly recommended!

We've enjoyed several stays in Carova Cottages rentals over the past 4 years and will continue to book OBX vacations with Laura because she's simply a great property manager. Our accommodations are always clean, kempt, well-stocked and, most important, in complete working condition. She always promptly responds to any question, from procedural clarifications to identifying the best local places to visit.

Overall, beautiful house and views of the ocean but a little disappointed with the cleanliness off the house, especially with covid. Needs a deep clean inside and out. The windows were so dirty that we had to clean them ourselves to enjoy the view from inside. The amount of spiders and webs outside were insane. Besides that it was a good, relaxing vacation.

Absolutely Perfect
We stayed here for our annual family vacation. 14 of us and we couldn't have been more comfortable. The house offers plenty of privacy in the layout, as well as a great amount of common space. The pool was the cleanest we've seen at a rental, and the pool company came twice during our stay to check on the condition - we were impressed! You can't beat the views or location - I miss waking up to dolphins & pelicans every morning with my coffee. The house literally has everything you need to prepare all meals and enjoy time your time at the beach (except beach towels - pack those!). Laura and David were incredibly helpful, provided quick responses and even gave on-the-spot directions to the house form the beach. We loved every minute of our stay and can't wait to go back!

Beautiful getaway!
Beautiful and spacious house, definitely "away from it all". Very responsive owner Laura, who took care of minor problem immediately. Pros: peace and quiet, sunrise AND sunset views were amazing, private pool and hot tub were awesome, loved the horses, 2 dishwashers and 2 refrigerators were great for large group. Cons: 2h traffic jam getting in (there are permanent signs warning of delays, so not a fluke), stores/restaurants are 30min away so not easy to go pick up supplies/food or go out to eat. If first time driving on 4x4 area, very rough on your vehicle due to deep ruts (even with AWD, our family got stuck, and it was a $400 tow bill. We watched people get stuck all week). Fantastic place with gorgeous weather, just be prepared to "rough it".

Perfect getaway
If you’re idea of paradise is watching wild horses and dolphins from your dining room table while being 10 steps from the beach, this is your house!
Everything about the house and location was exactly what we were looking for.
Things to keep in mind:
*it is on a 4x4 area. You have to have 4 wheel drive and you have to deflate/inflate your tires. Takes some planning and thought process. Not hard. Just different.
*driving on the beach is different. But it’s so relaxing to just be out there.
* you’re 25 mins or so from a store
*the bedroom/bathroom situation is amazing for large groups
*great pool and hot tub
*would not be a good house for people who can’t easily maneuver stairs
*beach access is amazing
*property manager is fantastic to work with
*house is in great shape, well stocked kitchen and very clean
*decks have amazing views
If you’re on the fence and want to stay in this area, you won’t regret this house.

Great stay at Seaside
We had a wonderful time at Seaside. Our first vacation to the 4 x 4 beach area. Laura was helpful from the very beginning with answering questions so we could decide on a house and location. She continued to be a help throughout the time of planning to come, always answering quickly. We came into Seaside during some bad weather and she kept us up to date on the conditions and the best time to drive up the beach. We were able to contact her during our stay also. When does this woman get a break? The house was a great place for our family to enjoy being together and have some down time. We enjoyed looking out at the beach, walking on the beach, building sand sculptures, and hearing the ocean. We saw 3 of the horses while arriving at our home and saw them several times throughout our stay around the house and on the beach. The kids even saw the fall foal that had been born a few days before! Definitely would recommend this house and Carova Cottage Rentals. The house was comfortable and plenty of space to move around. They had dinnerware that was beach themed which my family loved. We had planned on using paper plates but ended up using these dishes most of the time. The kids loved the pool table. We all enjoyed sitting in the top floor living room playing games and being able to see the ocean at the same time. We hated to see our time come to an end. Many thanks to Carova Cottage Rentals, Laura and the cleaning crew for making our stay so wonderful.

Our Time went by waaaay to fast!
Our experience was fantastic we couldn’t ask for a better location or better experience. When we first arrived it was chaos at the beach entrance, we were told air down by everyone but we didn’t know where , and that you couldn’t at the beach entrance. We pulled over right before the pavement ended and a police officer kindly told us that if we don’t move we would be ticketed. So we attempted the drive full tire pressure. It was fun, I have a lifted Jeep Wrangler. The other people we were with had a grand Cherokee and it wasn’t as fun for them. The Ruts get really deep and causes lower clearance vehicles to bottom out. We were able to pull over a couple hundred yards onto the beach and air down. We saw several people stuck.
When we first arrived we noticed a home being built right next door, we were instantly annoyed that we would be listening to hammering and banging all week long. Fortunately, work was at a stand still for most of our week. They only worked the last 2 days w were there. The house was perfect, the pool and hot tub were cleaned right before we arrived and they had it serviced half way through our stay as well. We ran out of propane our second to last night and Laura offered to run some out to us that same night. She was very accommodating. Any questions I had, I received a fast response. Wild horses showed up almost every day. People have to pay for a tour to see the horses, all we had to do was look out our windows.
The only negative was the internet service is very slow. My wife and I have sprint and our service worked fairly well, but the people we were with who had Verizon and T Mobile didn’t have good luck. One of the people with us brought their laptop (with a hotspot) so they could do some work and they weren’t able to connect to do it..... what do you expect though?!? You are staying on the beach, right on the ocean. It was totally worth it
House had everything you need, full kitchen , 2 fridges, 2 dishwashers , washer and dryer, bathroom in every room, multiple king beds, pool, hot tub, views, horses.... it was awesome! Our group has already discussed getting something on the books for next year, we will most likely be booking with them again.

Absolutely amazing week
I can honestly say this was the best vacation experience we’ve had in years. The location of the house being on the 4x4 beach was perfect. We typically stay in Nags Head each year, but our family truly enjoyed driving and parking down on the beach each day- we will for sure be returning. In the reviews people talked about how remote it is. I did not find it to be too far from essentials and a few beach shops. We felt like it was the perfect balance of a bit less crowded and remote, but close enough to town. I cannot express how beautiful the beach is and the oceanfront views from the house were stunning. Each night we either sat on the beach for dinner or hung out on our porch and watched the water.
Mid week we had an issue with the water in the house turning brown. We contacted Laura and she had the water service guy out to us immediately. It took a few hours to resolve, but we were impressed with her swift response to our needs. We had no further problems with the water the rest of the week. The house was thoroughly cleaned upon arrival and we had no concerns regarding covid during the week. The beach is very covid friendly as people naturally social distance. We really could not have asked for a better vacation!

A wonderful time!
The house overall had met our expectations from what we read in the house description online. We were pleased with the house cleanliness, fully stocked kitchen, and extra items for the beach. The communication with Laura was top notch during the whole process, along with handling a recent tropical storm that came through. Highly recommend!

Amazing horse experience
She's not kidding when she says a 4WD vehicle is required. The beach can be sketchy depending on the time of day, traffic, and tide position. However, it was all worth it! The horses came by frequently to wander and munch. It's important to remember that they are, indeed, wild animals. The males are protective of their herd and the moms are protective of their babies. Don't be in the news.
The cleaning team was not ideal, but Laura was responsive when we needed anything. I'll chalk it up to the virus, but hopefully she's able to find a better team. After an initial "touch-up", the house was lovely and suited our large group quite nicely. The washer and dryer were critical and the 2nd dishwasher was a great addition.
There were plenty of places for the teens to hang out without invading the adults too much. ;-) Good for both. The beach was just over the dune and the pool was great when they were over the sand and the crowds. We could even watch a pod of dolphins from the upper deck! Overall, it was a lovely and relaxing week!

Reviewer Comments:
Seaside has all the amenities that you need, the kitchen was very well stocked and each bedroom has a full bathroom which is fantastic. You can drink your coffee in the morning on the top deck and watch the sunrise and see the horses. The 4wd beach wasn't an issue for our suburban, however your vehicle needs to have adequate ground clearance as the sand can get quite deep in spots. Bring a shovel just in case as I did but didn't need it. We are already looking forward to our next trip!
