About this property

THE WEATHERVANE IS GETTING A POOL for 2025! 2nd row 3 night min, 4x4 bch

Be the first guests to swim in the NEW POOL being installed for 2025! It will be located to the south side of the house. We have a pic of the pool from the manufacturer. And another pic of the pool sitting in the yard just waiting. Will be installed before the end of May!

Three night stays available!!

So many simple pleasures await you in The Weathervane. Wake to the beautiful sunrise and pounding surf. Step out on the deck with that first cup of coffee. Touch the moon glade just steps from your front door. This is Relaxation!!

What fun to use the outdoor telescope in this lovely semi-oceanfront (2nd row) home, situated in a very quiet section of the 4x4 beach. Located just 7 miles north of the end of the hard road and nestled between two wildlife preserves, your shoulders will drop as soon as you pull in. The serenity on this part of the beach is amazing. Watch the breakers from the nicely stocked kitchen in this reverse floor plan home. You may even see some brown pelicans fly by as you sip your coffee. Spend your morning on the screened in porch watching the wild horses. You may also spot foxes, bunnies, deer or black hogs. (They are here but are elusive!) Wildlife abounds on the beach as well with all kinds of bird and fish, shellfish and mollusks. Shelling is a favorite pastime, not to mention fishing and swimming. Leashed pets are allowed on the beach so you can bring your dog and enjoy the day. Setting up is easy since you will be able to take your gear to the beach in your car. You can even park on the beach and use it as a base of operation. Two beach parking passes are provided for guest use... so no extra expense with our homes!! Forgot something? … no worries, since the house is just steps away.

Everything is better at the beach, including sleeping! Two of the three bedrooms have memory foam queen beds, flat screen smart tv’s and private access to the second level deck. The third bedroom has a flat screen smart tv and a duo-bunk bed (double bed lower and twin bed upper, also memory foam). This home has plenty of room for a small family, but will also suit for a couple who just need to get away from it all.

If you are not familiar with Carova Beach, you will be enchanted with the excitement of driving on the beach, witnessing wildlife in its natural habitat and being separated from the masses. Or maybe you already know how exhilarating it is to wake up to the pounding surf, neighing horses and the prospect of another beautiful day on the beach. It is the experience of a lifetime… make it even more special with a relaxing stay at Weathervane.
You must have a "four wheel drive” ( 4x4 ) vehicle to access this home.

Fantastic Getaway! Spectacular Ocean & Sunset Views!

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: The Weathervane is an absolute gem in the heart of the Carova/Corolla 4x4 beach. My wife and I chose it to celebrate our 15 year wedding anniversary and could not have booked a more perfect location! 🙂 The wild horses stopped by almost everyday - an absolute treat to just watch them from both the second & third floor decks. The screened in porch off the living room is THE spot to watch the sunset. We were wowed by a different, awe inspiring sunset each evening. ⛅️ The owners are fantastic! They are very quick to reply and very friendly. The Weathervane has newer appliances, a very well appointed kitchen and fantastic water quality for the 4x4 area. We will 100% be back!

Excellent home, very clean and well equipped

This was our second stay in 4x4. This home had more tour traffic. Also, more ATV/UTV and someone had an old dune buggy that was loud. House located further up the beach than our previous stay, but meant less “crowded” beach. For those of you not use to a well there is an odor to the water and not a lot of pressure. Overall home was very nice and well stocked for stay. Side screened in porch was great with fans and breeze. We did see a group of 3 horses most nights and our final night they grazed in the side and backyard.

Great Location

This was our first time to stay on the 4x4 beach. The house is in a great location and was just perfect for what we needed. The house was clean and orderly. The A/C quit working on the second floor while we were there. We contacted the property manager and she scheduled the repair very quickly. Thank you for a great week!

Great vacation

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: The Weathervane was the perfect size for our family of six and two pups. We love to cook so I really appreciated that the kitchen was fully stocked with every utensil and appliance you could possibly need (no Keurig, but there is a standard coffeemaker). The screened in deck area catches the breeze in the morning and evening and is almost always shady, great for coffee in the morning and dinner at night. There is a group of horses that hangs out in this neighborhood and they were in the yard and in the slightly wooded lot next door every morning. This house is a cozy little gem and we will be back. Don't hesitate to book it. I enjoyed working with Laura and David at Carova Cottages at well. They were professional and very helpful.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: After 32 years of coming to the Outerbanks - we started in Duck moved up to Corolla and finally the last few years in Pine Island - we wanted to experience Carova and the 4x4 experience I would say the only 'getting use to' part was all the vehicles and having to watch the traffic at times

Fabulous Trip

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: This was our third time staying at the Weathervane, and it was another fantastic trip. The home has all you need to unplug, relax, and enjoy your time in this beautiful area. We saw horses around the property every day, and across the street nibbling grass on the dunes with the ocean waves and blue sky in the background. We had a gorgeous full moon during our stay, and watching it rise over the ocean with red to orange coloring was magical. The sunrises with the orange, pink, and purple variations weren't too shabby either. Great stay!!!

Magical place!

Our second stay in the Weathervane wonderful. The management was always quick to respond and go above and beyond for their guests. The house is well stocked and very comfortable. Our favorite spot was the screen porch where we played games and ate every meal while looking at the ocean and the horses in our yard. We absolutely love this house and the entire area. The horses and the beach make this a magical place. We will be back!
