Joshua was a great host with a beautiful property. His was one of two homes we rented for a family member’s 50th birthday. His instructions for traveling the beach and recommendations were very helpful and made this first time visit a memorable occasion. We will definitely be visiting and staying again.

We loved our stay in Corolla! The house looked exactly like the photos and the view was even better. Everything you needed was there— games, beach gear, all the kitchen supplies and more. Would recommend!

A Truly Exceptional Stay, Already Planning My Return I’ve stayed in many Outer Banks homes, but this brand-new Carova Beach property sets a whole new benchmark. A lot of nearby houses feel dated the moment you pass them… then you arrive here, and everything changes. You need a 4x4 to reach it, but the drive through the sand was far easier than expected — and honestly one of the most fun parts of the trip. It’s just a quick, scenic 15-minute ride from the pavement to what feels like your own private escape. Mornings were unforgettable: sipping coffee on the deck while wild horses wandered by, with sunrise lighting up the ocean. Those moments stay with you. Inside, the home is just as impressive. Beautiful decor, wraparound porches, and sweeping views everywhe yo look. Absolutely nothing left to be desired. A stay here doesn’t just feel like a getaway — it feels like a reminder of how good life can be. I’ll be back the first chance I get.
