Welcome to Finding Sandity, a stunning semi-oceanfront vacation home on the 4x4 beaches of Carova Beach, Northern Outer Banks, North Carolina. This 5-bedroom, 2,602 sq ft beach house sleeps 10 and sits on a lot with better unobstructed ocean views than most true oceanfront homes in the 4WD area. A private 14x28 pool, 6-person hot tub, game room with pool table, and ships watch loft make this one of the most complete vacation rentals on the Northern OBX. Walk to the beach in less than a minute. A four-wheel-drive vehicle is required; the property sits approximately 3 miles up the 4x4 beach. Three-night minimum stays available in spring and fall.
Bedrooms & Sleeping Arrangements
Five bedrooms sleep 10 guests across three levels. The top level features a king master bedroom with private deck access and panoramic ocean views. The second level offers a king bedroom with private bath and deck access, a queen bedroom with private bath and deck access, and a duo-bunk room with double bottom bunk, twin top, and an additional twin bed. A fourth second-level bedroom has been converted into a game room with a pool table and brand new queen sleeper sofa with deck access. A bonus bunk room on the top level is perfect for the little ones.
Private Pool, Hot Tub & Outdoor Spaces
The brand new 14x28 private pool sits on the oceanfront side of the property next to the dune, surrounded by sea oats — one of the most scenic pool settings on the 4x4 beach. The 6-person hot tub is open Memorial Day through end of September alongside the pool. An outdoor shower, charcoal BBQ grill, fish cleaning table, and outdoor furniture round out the ground level. Covered parking for two vehicles available.
Ships Watch & Views
The top-level open floor plan features a kitchen, dining room, living room, and ships watch loft — all wrapped in windows with multiple seating options and unobstructed panoramic ocean and beach views. Watch sunrises from bed on the second level or take your coffee to the ships watch for a front-row seat over the Atlantic.

    Finding Sandity was an amazing house on the beach! We are a family of 4, so the house was much larger than what we needed and we had plenty of room to spread out. The house had everything we needed (note the house does not have a propane BBQ). We sat on the deck each morning watching the dolphins play in the water. We were not able to use the pool for the first few days of our trip due to the cooler temperatures. However, once the weather warmed back up, the pool was wonderful. The beds and bathrooms are all great, everything was very clean! We enjoyed playing pool in the evenings, too! We saw the wild horses every day on the beach, which was so incredible! On our last night, they came up to the house, so we watched them from the top deck, what an amazing experience!!On a side note, driving on the 4wd beach and dunes is no joke. We were prepared, but it was not easy. We saw many tow trucks every day, so you can always get unstuck. Also, highly recommend stopping at the grocery store before you get to the house!

    The host was very responsive. We had a minor hiccup with the door lock, she was quick to respond and assist. Leading up to our stay, she communicated in a timely manner answering any questions we had. The beds were comfortable, the views were amazing, and the house was clean. We enjoyed our stay with the added bonus of seeing the wild horses right outside the house! The road to the driveway can feel intimidating but we had no issues whatsoever. Overall a great stay and house.

    Very spacious and each room had door to the porch which was great. The screen porch on the side was perfect to get away from the cool breeze but still able to view the ocean. The location was perfect with a great view of the ocean and area. We were able to watch the horses from the deck and even in the pool. Check in and out was very easy and hosts were great.

    This was an excellent place to stay. Home was clean unbelievable views just amazing. If I had a negative it would be a soundbar for the TV is needed. Also 4x4 is highly necessary in order to get to property you will travel on beach and sand. Don't forget to Air Down your tires or you will get stuck. That's the good & bad!! you will love it!!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful stay at Sandity. My only complaints are there wasn't a second refrigerator like most beach houses (for drinks, etc) and that we couldn't see the 4th of July fireworks from the deck because the house Nextdoor blocked the view. However, when the AC went out on the second floor, the rental company was REALLY FAST to bring portable units until the service man could get there in 48 hours...communication was wonderful and I highly recommend this company again!

    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: Having never been to the 4X4 beach, we didn't know what to expect for ease of access. It was better than we thought, but wow, the sand can get deep to navigate. For sure need to air up and air down tires each time you come and go from the beach. We felt it kept traffic away, which we liked. The beach here is incredible - flat like Destin,FL, tons of shells to find, easy to walk. The house is exactly as we expected it. Tasteful decor, furniture was very nice. Floor plan worked well for us. Interior was clean when we arrived. Hot tub was great and we loved the pool. We had to call for service on the dryer and the team was there within an hour or two to remedy it. Impressive! Things I was disappointed in - kitchen is lacking in major areas of not having a can open, baking tins, no wine glasses, no real mixing bowls, the trash can is way too small for 8 people. The linens provided to us smelled at first....bad....I had to wash them before I would let anyone use them. The kitchen towels given had seen many better days, thin, fraying stained. I couldn't get the smell out of them and opted to use paper towels the rest of the week. The sheets on the master bed would not stay on the bed. I woke up many mornings sleeping on the mattress cover because the sheets popped off. That was frustrating. These are small things and we could remedy on our second trip by bringing these items. We would absolutely rent here again without hesitation. I would just hope the kitchen gets outfitted better. The Food Lion complex it seems is where all the shopping and dining is mostly found, close to the home. There is an ice cream place nearby as well.You can feel the love in the home and waking up having the horses on the dunes out front was something I will never forget! My morning coffee at home just isn't the same! I already want to go back! This is a special space if you want to decompress and forget about life for awhile.

    We really enjoyed our stay at this beach house! Being right on the beach was great and very secluded which made for a peaceful stay. We saw wild horses everyday and some came right up to the fence around the pool. The house was very clean and felt like our home away from home! Will plan on visiting again very soon :)

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: WE arrived at the proper time, 4 PM, just as high tide left. didnt releaize that you were stuck on the island from 10 AM until 4 PM from the tide covering the beach road. the home while the location is great if your goal is to beach full time, was a bit run down, not well kept but clean. Lots of sand and forget it if you dont come in 4WD truck/jeep. Wild horses were pretty cool. The hot tub was great but very dirty, didnt scare us, proba should have.
