Immaculate Family-Friendly Canal Front Vacation Home in Outer Banks 4x4 Area

House was very clean & in a great location on the canal. Was very peaceful watching boats go by on the canal. Did some fishing on the canal too. We saw horses nearby! Unfortunately our trip was cut short due to a family emergency, but I would definitely stay here again. Hosts very responsive. 5 stars all around.

This is a very well maintained home. You can tell it has some age on it, but everything is in great condition and was spotless upon arriving. I missed the part about not having a dishwasher, so that’s on me. A few more washcloths would have been nice but not a huge deal. The canal was beautiful and we had some horses visit us one evening. It only takes about 3 or 4 minutes to get to the Carova fire station and to the beach, which is very convenient. The property manager was very prompt with all of my questions. The water pressure was great in the showers, which is sometimes hit or miss in rental homes. We love staying in the Carova area and would rent this property again.

Far up north in the 4x4-area is this beautiful cottage with water access and wild horses nearby. Sunny deck and screened porch. Walk to the beach. 30 minutes drive to Corolla (for shopping and restaurants) via beach access road. Very calm neighborhood. It is recommended to bring extra fresh water bottles for drinking.

This house was awesome. It is off the main roads. So you don't have to see the horse tours all the time. All around great place.

The place was very clean and comfortable. The water smelled terrible, but we understand that happpens up on the beach, but also know it can be better. Was really disappointed that there was no hot tub as mentioned in the property listing. Overall a really good stay and would consider the property again.

House was very clean, spacious yet cozy, and well stocked with necessities and games for entertaining. The decor was tastefully done yet still gave you space to put personal belongings in bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen, and common areas. The outdoor space was great for morning coffee, grillin & chillin, and storage of beach and fishing gear. Tossing in a fishing line at the canal in the morning and evening was great entertainment. We have 4 young kids and the trip was perfect. We hope to get back again!!

Took my two young sons for their first trip to Carova. This property was perfect for us and I would not hesitate to stay here again. Communication with owner was superb and they were extremely helpful. Highly recommended!

We had a terrific stay. The place was clean, had all the amenities we would need, and the location was amazing. We caught catfish and crab right off the canal and cooked the crabs up that night in a low country boil. Had an extra fridge/freezer down below if needed. We saw horses everyday on the property. We looked up the ISS flyover and could see it perfectly due to the lack of light pollution. Cell service and internet was great. Had an amazing time and will book this place again over others.

Clean, quiet and great location with private dock on the canal. House is well maintained, immaculately clean and fully stocked with kitchen utensils, pots and pans, and a grill outside. Plenty of room for my family plus more. I would definitely stay again!

Property was exactly waht we were looking for. Super clean! We saw horses every day and even had a parade of 4 walk right underneath the deck! We loved the remoteness of the location but still close enough we could head to town. Owners were responsive to our questions throughout the stay.
