Beatiful home with many amenities. Fully equipped kitchen. A lot of space to be on your own or hang out together. Views are spectacular. Tim was very easy to communicate with and very helpful. Make sure you rent a 4x4 if you are getting a rental. It’s a really interesting experience. Definitely a great getaway. Plan ahead to prepare for drives to go places or food shop on the way. The drive is eight miles on the 4x4 beach so there are no local restaurants or stores until you get to the main road. Would definitely recommend if this is what you are looking for!

This home is absolutely beautiful. We checked in with no issues. Within the first several hours the blower on the middle floor went out. The owner immediately addressed the issue and had window units installed. The pool is truly lovely. The location is awesome. The decks and walkways could use some attention, but it’s an absolutely wonderful place to stay! Tim is truly amazing and attentive.

We have rented many times in the OBX and this was one the best! If you can handle the 4x4 drive to get there, you will love this property. You can walk from the house to the pool then over the dune and onto the beach! We also saw horses everyday - including a visit into our carport! The owner was also super friendly and a great communicator.

Running on Faith is a wonderful beach house with everything you could need in the kitchen, lots of hang out space, nice pool area and close proximity to the beach. The house was decorated beautifully and very clean. The whole family enjoyed our time together here!

Our group of friends had a wonderful stay at Tim’s house in Carova. Tim was more than helpful and extremely responsive. The house is absolutely beautiful and so well maintained. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need. The beds are all comfortable, and the appointments in the house have a perfect feel of beach chic. Access to the beach is right over the dune. The hot tub and pool were lovely too. I highly recommend a stay in Tim’s home.

This was a fantastic place to spend my daughter’s spring break in the off season, with incredible direct beach access, unforgettable sunrises and sunsets and a beautifully furnished home with pieces I would seek out “in real life.” It was also spotlessly clean and smelled fresh as soon as you walked in, which I’ve found to be rare for beach rentals. The owner was very communicative, helpful and responsive, which we appreciated. We loved every minute and it genuinely felt like a comfortable, peaceful home away from home—we won’t soon forget our time here, and if you book you won’t, either!

Everything about this property is perfect

The property was very clean, great kitchen equipment. We even had the wild horses at the property. Short walk to the beach and had use of a pool and spa. Overall very pleased with our stay.

The house was perfect for the family. The four bedrooms with four baths gave everyone the privacy that needed. The house is directly on the beach which made it easy to go back to the house for lunch! It was an experience riding on the beach to get to the house. . We enjoyed the pool and hot tub. I highly recommend the house.

Easy

Beautiful house. Great location. Host was responsive. Definitely would visit again. My only feedback would be that there needs to be a second fridge or separate beverage fridge. We traveled in group of 4 and it was tight mainly due to beverage storage. On a side note (general 4x4 zone tip), be very, very careful traveling to the property, we did over $1800 damage to the underside of our vehicle due to being loaded down (This would apply to any house in the 4x4 zone requiring beach travel). Stay on the hard pack as much as possible and personally I wouldn't drive in others tracks as many suggest. The problem wasn't getting stuck in the sand, it was bottoming out due to ground clearance. With that as stated I would definitely revisit the house, the location is amazing.

The beach is beautiful. We were greeted by horses daily. We also saw dolphins near the property. It’s absolutely beautiful and the property owner is friendly and very helpful.

We were extremely pleased with this property, start to finish. I would hands down recommend this one. Tim was extremely responsive (not that we needed anything) but his availability was greatly appreciated. It was clean and the pictures were on point with the property. If you’re like me and read the reviews prior to making a decision- this is the one! It should be 5/5 stars. The one bad review here is a very poor misrepresentation of the property. We LOVED it and had the best vacation!

A wonderful home that was such a treat to stay in. We had a huge group and this was the second house we rented for the more relaxed people in the group. Very quiet and peaceful and provided a perfect spot for accessing the beach. There are TONS of opportunities to see the horses as they seem to love the carport. We enjoyed every minute and would very much recommend this house to anyone.

Great house, floor plan and location. All the amenities for a comfortable stay. Horses and more horses an added bonus!

it was quite beautiful. we enjoyed our stay very much. Wild horses in our yard just about every day! Very comfortable accommodations. Our host Tim was very responsive and helped us with anything we needed

Running on Faith was well worth it! A must do on your bucket list! A true Five Star Experience ***** From the moment you enter the 4x4 Beach access to the home, you feel the sense that you are truly in a magical place. My wife and our family had an amazing time at Running on Faith OBX. The home is beautiful, very clean, furnishings are high end, and the breathtaking views are amazing. The Owner Tim was a true pleasure to deal with and was accessible for all our questions. He made the stay even more enjoyable. It was our privilege to experience such a magical and priceless family vacation at Running on Faith, OBX NC. The moment in time will be forever etched in our memories. Thank you for a great experience at your magical get away! The Singh Family S/ Neil V. Singh, Esq.

Amazing. The horses of Corolla did not disappoint. We got great weather and Running on Faith was a perfect place, as always.

This home is GORGEOUS and the location IDEAL. Oceanfront, spectacular sunrises, wild horses in the yard, very comfortable furniture and beds (cozy sheets and bedspread too), well equipped/stocked home with everything you could need. Loved the hot tub and swimming pool too !! The guys enjoyed the easy walk to the park for fishing and we all enjoyed the often exciting ride (on the beach) to and from the grocery store. We did get stuck in the sand a couple of times, but helpful beachgoers with pickup truck or Jeep were always nearby (with a tow rope) to pull us out and get us on our way again, lol. From start to finish, Tim was awesome !! He always responded to questions immediately and was always very friendly and helpful. We all loved our stay and would highly recommend this home to others. It is quiet, peaceful and a great place to unwind and de-stress. A+ experience !! Thank you so much for everything Tim. We loved spending time reading in your favorite place (ours too!!). Katrina, Carroll and Family

We had no issues and if we needed anything the owner Tim was happy to help us out. It was a very relaxing vacation on the ocean, what more could you ask for !

This house is BEAUTIFUL! What a perfect vacation home! The views were breathtaking! Tim, the owner is beyond friendly! He made the whole process very easy! The house was spotlessly clean and in tiptop shape. All of the furnishings were high end, down to the dishes & mugs that were from Pottery Barn! The house looks just like the photographs! It is fully stocked with pots, pans, baking sheets, mixer, blender, board games and puzzles galore! The kids and adults had so much fun building the "Pop Art" puzzle, playing cards, and Catan! The pool was perfect for our group. We enjoyed watching the sunrise each morning on the beach, then having our coffee on the deck. The cherry on top was the WILD HORSES! They were beautiful! We went out for a morning run and there were the horses, Barbecuing on the deck...there were the horses, having coffee on the deck in the morning...there were the horses, relaxing on the beach...there were the horses! We all loved seeing them up close and personal! We had our own private tours daily! We also got to see some fox, and some deer prints on the beach. "Running on Faith" gave us som many family memories that we will cherish forever!

Our family recently stayed at Running on Faith for the first time. The natural unspoiled nature of the area speaks for itself. The house was more than we could have asked for. Spacious rooms with upscale amenities, fully stocked high end kitchen, wonderful pool and hot tub, large kitchen table. Our family thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this beautiful home. We will definitely be back!!

What a amazing vacation for all of us. The home is exactly as listed- just beautiful! The views are spectacular, walk out of the door and your on the beach. Tim makes the process easy and you want for nothing. We had the wild horses around the property all week-a huge bonus. You need a 4 wheel drive to reach property, but again Tim’s direction for driving n the beach was a breeze with no issues. Running on Faith is the perfect place for families to get downtime and just enjoy life. Thank you once again Tim.

The pictures don't quite do the home justice. We had a wonderful stay, and Tim was incredibly helpful answering all our questions quickly. We would definitely stay again.

Beautiful house in a lovely location. We rented a four wheel drive jeep, which was necessary to navigate the sand. Tim is an attentive host!

The house was great and the location was amazing if u have 4wd. The host was very easy to communicate with and helped with any issues we had. LOVED seeing the horses and it felt like a magical paradise on the beach early mornings and evenings when we walked. The only thing I would warn people coming about is there are spikes little burrs in the surrounding landscape that are super painful if u tough them. I was constantly pulling them out of our dogs and it made taking them out and walking them difficult. Other then that it was a great spot.

The house is beautiful and in great condition. There were some minor issues in the beginning but the Tim was very responsive and helpful. The location is great if you want some seclusion right on the beach. I wish I had been able to stay. I strong recommend this house if you are considering staying in Corolla.

We stayed may 9th-16th.The house is great. It’s better than the pictures and we generally had a good time. Furnishings are nice and the kitchen is well stocked which is important when you’re 30-40 mins from grocery stores etc Before booking I asked the owner Tim if the pool was heated, as that was a deal breaker for us, and he assured me he could set the pool to 86 degrees before our arrival. I then asked him if he had any room to save us some money as I was looking at booking only two weeks out and he offered to throw in the pool heating fee. Great.. we booked. When we arrived the pool was 68 degrees. I contacted tim and he let me know that since they cannot cover the pool due to liability it’s hard to heat the pool when the outside temperatures are what they are (60s daytime 50s nighttime). I felt the property was misrepresented to me but I wasn’t going to let that ruin our fun as we had driven 12 hours to be there.At checkout time we were reminded to please bag all trash and take it to the curb, remove all linens and place them in the laundry room and empty the refrigerator completely. Sounded reasonable and we of course complied happily. About two hours after departing I received a fury of messages from Tim. He cursed me out and then began insulting my family.VRBO has access to our messages and they are free to confirm Tim’s conduct. He’s now attempting to charge me thousands of dollars for moving a bunk bed 6 inches to install the included frame rails that were in the room when we arrived (but not attached) and also I had to move a few Adirondack chairs on the third floor deck away from the edge (very high) to assure my toddler was safe from falling. There were 3 guests at the home. My wife our 2 year old and I. There weren’t any parties or anything of the sort. Anyone who has travelled with a toddler knows it can be challenging to make a room safe for a child to sleep in and we were in no way trying to be destructive. Just protecting our child like any parent would. I was entirely caught off guard by his verbal abuse and I wish he would have taken a more professional approach to the whole thing. It was stressful enough being 20 miles up a beach road with no gas and a long drive.Now instead of going home and feeling relaxed I have to call my attorney and spend more money. Very disappointed.

The host made everything easy. We really hope to return someday.

This was our first visit to the Outerbanks and we truly enjoyed it. We weren't sure about driving on the beach but we drove to NC from Wisconsin so we had our jeep - and it was no problem at all. Driving at low tide is wise, especially when you're new it this. But we drove at other times as well and it went just fine. We are used to driving in snow, so using some of those same principles made it easier. The area is so unique with the miles and miles of sand dunes are so beautiful. Horses walked across the lawn and we saw them in the neighborhood as well. The weather in March is unpredictable, colder and windy sometimes, so we would drive the sand roads in the neighborhood occasionally to look for horses instead of walking. Hot tub was great. Kite flying was a hit. A highlight, also, was the Outerbanks fish boil - they came to the home and we had crab and shrimp with the extras like corn on the cob, potatoes and corn bread and the family all enjoyed this. The property manager was very responsive if we ever had a question. Suggestions: if you vacation in March, just bring warm clothes! The outdoors is great if you dress for it.

House was just as described and pictured. Tim was super responsive no matter the time of day and to even the most minor questions. There was everything you could possibly need to ensure a comfortable stay. The sunrises and sunsets were amazing. The dogs loved walking and running on the beach. We couldn’t imagine staying in main Corolla again - we loved the seclusion and privacy. We will definitely stay here again, maybe when it’s warmer so we can use the pool!
