Stayed Aug 2, 2025Rating Details: 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 home was wonderful. It was an exceptionally well organized experience, the home was clean and ready for use and in a fantastic location on the beach. The amenities of the home were great. The kids loved the pool and the location on the beach was so convenient. Coffee in the morning on the deck overlooking the ocean and sunrise, surf fishing in the morning with our Jeep right there.... All great!

I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have been vacationing in Carova for around 14 years and this house is one of our favorites. It’s very well maintained and feels like a home and not a rental. The beds are very comfortable and the views are amazing. The only thing we didn’t like was the camera out back which made us feel uncomfortable.

Stayed Jun 21, 2025The home is beautiful & was just as advertised. Perfect serenity for our entire family, which included 4 (under the age of 4) grandchildren. The home is fully stocked with just about everything you need. The bedrooms & bathrooms are all spacious. Laura was great at answering all my questions & provided great tips for getting around. She was always quick in responding too. The drive on the beach, is a must do if you have never done that before. I have nothing but positive feedback for this gorgeous rental. Absolutely great for multi-families vacationing together. Laura provided very detailed information from arrival to departure & everything you need in between. Thank you for everything you did to ensure we had a fantastic family vacation.

The house itself was beautiful and so clean. The location, while not so quick, was gorgeous and worth the drive. We loved being secluded and seeing all of the wild horses roaming each day. The pool and hot tub were both very nice to have and we always love a short walk to the beach. Thank you for such a great visit!

Stayed May 17, 2025The owners have thought of so many extras that are above and beyond anything most people would expect from a rental. While it is definitely secluded from town, we were there to celebrate my mom's 70th birthday as a family. We used everything the house had to offer for fun and relaxation and had the best week on the beach. There was even an entire area full of toys for my niece and nephews!

I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our stay at Sands Of Time was a great experience. The location is fantastic, just a few short steps from the beach. The home was an instant favorite with everyone in my family. It is super comfortable--the furniture, the views, the decor, the diversions (gaming, etc.). Every bed in the house slept great. The kitchen was perfectly equipped and needs nothing. Every spot where you'd stand to see something outside had a pair of binoculars in reach! We saw wild horses in the yard daily, deer in the street, and even got to see a sea turtle during our stay. We had one minor hiccup getting the hottub operating, but mgmt was super helpful and responsive and got us on track swiftly. I've stayed in a ton of oceanfront homes and this one was probably the best! We'll be back!!

We have been coming to OBX for 20 years and this house was the best! The beach driving was tough but that had nothing to do with the spectacular house.

Stayed Dec 31, 1969Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was 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: Drive the sandy shore to a beautifully designed and opulent built home on the Northern Outer Banks. We opened the door to an interior that enhanced our beach experience with an esthetic interior decorated with inspiring art which must have been collected over years of travel. The house is totally functional with picture windows framing beach dunes and sea in the kitchen and bedrooms. Laura, from Carova Cottages quickly responded to all our questions and was available to handle any concerns during our vacation.

Stayed Jun 8, 2024We loved our stay at Sands of Time! We had a group of 13 - 3 families ranging from 12 - 50 years old. There was something for everyone to do and keep busy. It was clean, spacious and the kitchen had so many helpful items, since we cooked every meal while there. The walk to the beach was wonderful too - very close. Communication with the property manager was easy and prompt. We loved everything about it and plan to come back again. ❤️
