Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had another great vacation. We have stayed at 3 properties from Carova Cottages over the last three years. Each house has been a different size and different features. But every year, as all vacations have, we have things that go wrong or are missing or broken,etc. certain things can ruin a vacation. For every vacation to the OBX we haven taken care of above and beyond with Laura at Carova Cottages. They truly care about whether u had a good time. She had a hot tub guy out as soon as the motor stopped. She answered every text we had about some high tech appliances and even spoke to the owner when we had an issue. Vacations will always have things go wrong but if the property managers are anything like Carova Cottages then you will be well taken care of. This specific house was newly updated and very beautiful. It has every thing you need except a keurig which Laura ended up bringing us one before check in. The pool table could be updated and they need new pool sticks. But other than that the house is beautiful, updated, and big. You don’t deal with any people around your house as you are two rows back from the ocean. We saw one herd of horses multiple times In our yard. 10/10 would stay at this house again.

1st time i rent a whole house 2 grand parents 4 sibling with partners 5 grandchildren the house was perfect kitchen very well equipped nice pool and hot tub every body had great time there i own 10 horses we were in wild horses every day in the yard beach etc new experience 2 large black snakes on deck(interesting) we did not kill them best beach vacation with whole family ps only 1 thing to complain there was the cheapest toaster 2 slices only not good in am to provide toast for the bunch lol

We had an amazing week! Enjoyed the house and the area! Plenty of room and had everything we needed.

We loved our stay. We enjoyed the house, pool, and location to the beach. The property was exactly how described and was a great fit for our family of 14 people.

After almost three years of being apart, my family from all over met here to spend the week together and we had the best vacation. The Screamin’ Mimi was perfect for so many reasons - the first one being the quiet, peaceful location. Second, the pool and hot tub were awesome. Third, the house feels like a real home, not just a rental. There’s a great book walking you through the building of it and it was great to read. Finally, the grandkids call my mom Meme so it was the icing on the cake. Before we left, we were sure to book our return trip next year!

This home is absolutely beautiful! It offers plenty of privacy as well as it is not close to any other houses. It is also close to the ocean and has an amazing view! We loved reading books on the hammock, as the wild horses grazed in the yard. The pool and hot tub were wonderful. We loved the pool table, and played for hours. There are lots of books and movies on hand for rainy beach days. The kitchen has everything you will need to prepare meals. I love the location of this home. The beach is very wide and spacious! There are also plenty of beach chairs, which made packing for our trip a lot easier! My family had the best trip, and we will be staying at this house in the future!

Fortunately the house was great because the weather wasn’t as we were there during a 4 day nor’easter.

There was a sewage type smell in the basement sometimes and the grill burners are nearly dead. Love the owner's personal touches and tastes. Thanks for a great time.

Our family and two other families enjoyed a week in August. The house was well equipped with everything we could need! The pool was large and the kids loved it.

Over all good stay and nice property. Appliances a bit dated but nice spacious house

We loved our stay at Screamin Mimi’s! Location was perfect and just a short walk to the beach. Our family loved that we were able to drive on the sand. Best part of the trip! Kitchen was great for the 11 of us. Would definitely stay again!

We had a wonderful time on carova. Beautiful sunrises, ocean, sand, horses. After days spent at the beach it was perfect to come back to the house, pool and hot tub to relax for the evening. Everyone had an unforgettable time.

Everything was lovely. The little extras in this place, like laundry baskets in the rooms, were really nice. Kitchen was much better equipped than others we have stayed at in the past. Would definitely stay here again.

My family and I loved the Screamin Mimi. It was so beautiful. The wild horses we saw on the property was the icing on the cake. Can’t wait to book again for next year. Laura was awesome and super helpful! Thank you for allowing my family and I to experience such an awesome property and trip.

Laura was great! Place is as described. Beach is easy to get to. Pool and hot tub were nice for the kids.

Spent a week at this wonderful and very comfortable property and enjoyed every minute! Lovely home with all the amenities. The spacious open floor plan with multi level decks provided beautiful scenic views from every angle. Nicely furnished and a well equipped kitchen with double dishwashers. We spent our mornings at the beach and afternoons relaxing at the pool. Corolla is a raw and beautiful beach complete with wild ponies and amazing sunrises and sunsets. Great vacation - highly recommend this property!

The house was clean and spacious, with a great layout, plenty of bathrooms, comfortable mattresses and beautiful views of the ocean and surrounding area. Daily visits from the wild horses was the icing on the cake. Management company was amazing and very responsive. We'll be back!

The bedrooms were spacious, only complaint about one bedroom was that the fan made a racket noise but I should have called and had it adjusted, also bunk bedroom needs a fan of some sort.
We were very close to the beach easy to walk to but nice to be able to drive your truck and park there. The wild horses were so fascinating, almost daily they were in the yard munching away.
Managing the sand coming on and off the island was something to get used to.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful two weeks @ Screamin Mimi. We walked to the beach almost every day (short walk) and spent some afternoons in the pool. We found room for everyone in our 3 family party. Laura was responsive to every request or question we had during our time. We never used grocery delivery, but it is available along with pizza delivery from Pasquale's. There are plenty of amenities in the kitchen to cook for large groups.

House had everything we needed for our two families to enjoy our stay. Walk to the beach was short and the views of ocean from house are better than described in listing. There were two issues when we arrived (water was yellow and WiFi out.) Manager was responsive and addressed both. WiFi service is not great so adults needed to juggle working and some used hotspots. Kids could not use while adults were working. Overall nice family vacation spot. If il you have not vacationed on 4x4 beach before just be prepared that there are no commercial businesses nearby so be prepared to drive 30 minutes to buy groceries etc.

This house was perfect for our family vacation. Lots of space for the little ones to play, plenty of games the entire family family enjoyed, and a great basement area where the kids could hangout. Walking distance to the beach and saw 5+ horses around the house nearly everyday. Would highly recommend this house!

Property managers were super friendly & helped us arrange grocery delivery in advance of check-in so that we arrived to a fully stocked kitchen. Families loved the pool, hot tub and easy walk to the ocean.

This house has everything you could need and is warm and inviting. The house is clean and spotless. The lay is out is great and the house is sound proof. We can’t wait to go back next year!!!!

The house was perfect and had everything you could need. Of course you always feel the need to bring things "just in case" in this case no need too. From the fully equipped kitchen to the books, movies and games provided. The great views, beautiful beach, private pool, hot tub and pool table made for the perfect family vacation. An added treat was watching the wild horses that visited the yard everyday. Definitely would go back!

This home was true to its description. Everything was great. Laura was so helpful and easy to work with. She explained everything and was available to answer any questions we had. The house was wonderful! The living area and kitchen was larger then appeared in the photos. The kitchen had everything you would need. Plenty of space for a large group. The pool and hot tub was the kids favorite. We saw horses almost every day they came right up to the house. You can see the ocean from the decks, I was able to see the sunrise in the mornings. The beach was awesome. We parked the trucks at the beach and would spend the day then walk to the beach after dinner every evening. We enjoyed this vacation very much and made wonderful memories. Thank you!!!!!!

This was the perfect house for enjoying the beach and relaxing with our family. We loved the location, peacefulness and the property was well equipped. The kids had a blast in the pool! Awesome deck to look at the ocean and the horses. We loved our time at this great house!

The rental house was everything advertised and more! We tried remembering everything that we thought we needed with us, but inevitably failed. To our surprise, the house was already stocked with pretty much everything we could want/need. There was only one time we needed to contact the management company. The key code lock that was utilized to get in/out of the front door stopped working. I called and was answered immediately by Laura. She came to the house within 15 minutes and gave us a key to utilize until the lock was fixed! I would definitely recommend staying at Screamin’ Mimi! The wild horses grazed in the yard almost every day. The house was also very close to the fire station where they sell ice. The house provided for a nice and relaxing week at the beach!
