    Going to Carova/Corolla was a bucket list trip for me. It didn’t disappoint. I saw lots of horses, lazy days on the beach and relaxing afternoons and evenings. I highly recommend this property.

    This house is absolutely beautiful and close to the beach. It has everything you need plus more, chairs, umbrellas, coolers, baby gate at the bottom of the steps and basic necessities if you didn’t make it to the store on the way. The owners are super fast at responding with any questions. The house is dog friendly and you can’t tell because there isn’t a smell of pets only a can for doggy poo and water bowls. I’m so grateful to find a house without weight limit restrictions on pets because it made my dream come true for my pups to see the ocean. The horses come up to the backyard and sometimes welcome you at night. We were a first timer visiting the 4x4 area and could not of had a better experience. Thank you so much Jim and Sue for sharing your home, we can’t wait to come back!

    Perfect stay at this lovely house in Carova Beach. We loved the deck safely providing a place for our golden doodle to play, kitchen with most everything needed to make delicious meals, comfy furniture and beds, nice deck overlooking the ocean and beautiful sunrises, horses in the yard, and our first experience watching baby sea turtles heading to the ocean. What a beautiful time we have had in a beautiful house. Thank you!!!

    The house was wonderful. We dont travel often because I am super nervous about accommodations being clean. This house was exceptionally clean. I was very pleased. The house had everything we needed in the kitchen for our week long stay. We loved that there was beach chairs and an umbrella for our use. Beds were comfortable. We saw some horses in the yard but over all we only saw about 10 the entire week. We were hoping the baby turtles were going to make their appearance while we were there but the nest about a mile down the beach just wasnt quite ready before we left.(should be the next day or so we were told) We ventured back to the pavement almost every evening. Beach driving was a first for us and is definitely an experience. air down. My 4runner did great at 20PSIWe would definitely recommend this home. The entire rental process was smooth as was check in /out. The owners clearly take pride in their little slice of heaven at the beach. FYI just a tip for planning purposes… The charcoal grill is on the smaller side so just dont plan to grill the whole meal like you would be able to on a gas grill or blackstone.

    We had a great stay at Shore Relaxing! The house was clean and just as described. Plenty of space for our family. It had all the necessary amenities and was comfortable. It was just a short walk to the beach but we often drove to transport coolers, chairs, etc. We loved seeing the horses right in our driveway! We would absolutely stay here again!!

    We loved our stay here. The home was beautiful, well maintained, and very clean. Check in/out was easy. The surrounding property is lush and private. Very family and dog friendly. 4x4 is of course a must, as it’s a hike from the pavement down the beach. Grocery/food options are nonexistent nearby but the seclusion is what makes this area special.

    Have stayed in several places in Carova, this is one of our favorites. The house was very clean and had ample space and amenities. Communication from the owner was great. Plenty of privacy and is on the south side of Carova, so it's closer to the 4x4 access. Would stay here again.

    The house and location was amazing. The beach drive was long. It’s definitely not easy going back and forth to town it is not an easy drive. The house itself was great and had everything we needed. We were disappointed with the grill so we did not end up grilling out. Overall the house and location were perfect for us! We will definitely be back

    We loved our stay at the property! Everything was extremely clean and this was a well-stocked home with excellent amenities and everything you need for a small or large group. It was a cooler time of year, but we still enjoyed beach walks and drives around where we would see the horses. The owners provided clear instructions and their info on airing down for beach access was essential!
