About this property

"Seaside" Fantastic Views! Pool Hot tub Game rm Linens 4x4 required. No pets

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. Amenities include huge private pool, hot tub, pool table, ice-maker, second full refrigerator, multiple home theater systems, second dishwasher, ships watch, and wifi. New trex decking on level 3 for a comfortable cushy feel on bare feet!! :-)

You will find many ways to unwind in any level of this wonderfully appointed home. Level three offers sumptuous leather seating, a home theater system with surround sound 42” HDTV, and well stocked kitchen with two dishwashers. The master suite on this level has a 40" smart tv with DVD, Jacuzzi tub and stunning ocean views from every vantage point. Up a half flight of stairs, you will find the ship’s watch with seating for four. Enjoy a game of poker or put a puzzle together.
Level two opens in a cozy den with comfortable seating and more entertainment options, a 32" Smartv with DVD.
Three master bedrooms all have king beds, private baths and direct deck access. The ocean views are still spectacular from this level... uninterrupted blue! But if you need diversion, the two east facing kings have 32" Smartvs.

The first floor level has game room with pool table, wet bar, full size refrigerator, 65" smart TV with surround sound, HUGE private gated pool (14x28), cabana half bath, outside shower and hot tub.

6BR, 6 Full 2 Half Baths. Sleeps 14. Pool Table, Huge Private Pool and Hot Tub. This home has no homes directly in front of it allowing for unobstructed ocean views. Just 3 miles off the hard road makes driving to town so easy.

Saturday Check in - 4x4 vehicle required - Linens and Towels provided - approximately 3 miles up the 4x4 beach - Pool and hot tub typically open June to end of Sept. Parking at the house is free and unlimited. Two parking passes for the beach will be available for guest use.

Relaxation with a View
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Another fantastic stay - this vacation house is truly a gem. You can go from feeling the sand between your toes to unwinding by the pool, lounging in the porch swing, or relaxing on your very own private balcony. The breathtaking views will leave you in awe, and all your worries will simply melt away. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you could possibly need. If you can't find something, it means you probably don't need it! And for those who love to read, there's even a selection of Book of the Month books available for your enjoyment. I've completely lost track of how many times I've stayed here! I'm so thrilled to return next year! Counting down!

Family Beach Vacation
We enjoyed our stay here. It was private and a quick walk to the beach. We watched the wild horses from the house every day. The layout of the house worked well for all of us. We would stay here again.

Beautiful house, beautiful views, gorgeous weather
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 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!

Perfect getaway
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 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.

Happy Days in the OBX
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 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.

Breathtaking Views
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!

Seaside was perfect!
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!!

Great time, wonderful view
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.

Spectacular Seaside
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 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.

Best vacation in years, absolutely perfect!!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 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!

Amazing week at Seaside!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Mere words can not describe our stay at Seaside. The house was beautiful and perfectly located. Our stay was delayed by hurricane Matthew, but with the help of the property managers, Laura and David James, we found a place to stay for two nights until we could get to "Seaside". Laura is excellent at what she does and has a way of making you feel like you are her only guest! She made us feel so welcome and hoping for return visits!We would highly recommend using "Carova Cottages" to anyone wanting to experience the 4x4 beach at Carova!The highlights for our stay, were the beautiful views from all the windows and decks and the surprise visit from one of the wild horses that came right to our back door! Truly amazing!! Thank you so much Laura and David!!

Reviewer Comments: 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.
