FamilyMemoryMaker!,8 MASTERS,MovieRoom,OceanViews,Pool,HotTub,Grill,StarlinkWiFi

COME DOWN AND ENJOY AN AREA UNLIKE ANY OTHER ON THE EAST COAST. Grab the family and drive your four wheel drive type vehicle to the edge of the pavement, shift into that four wheel drive or the AWD that you don't use enough, and set out for your family adventure up the beautiful sandy coast of eastern North Carolina. Experience the beach like it used to be for our great grandparents, wide open and free. **WARNING; After coming to this beach, every other beach you visit in your life will probably feel "crowded"** This area is also home to multiple bird sanctuaries and home to the wild Corolla horses, North Carolina's official state horses. These horses are believed to be descendants of wild mustangs brought over from Europe many, many years ago. They are absolutely beautiful animals and roam the area at will. Note: We hate added fees that some houses like to add at the end. We have heard from our past guests that they also hate these fees. Please keep that in mind when comparing houses. Linens, maintenance, cleaning, pool, and pet fee are already included. No nickle and diming here. We also rent Saturday to Saturday in the summer (May to September) so we can help as many families as possible enjoy the beach. Our house is located about 7 miles up the coast from the end of the pavement along one of the widest areas of beach in the area. We chose this lot because it is highly elevated and gives great ocean views from all decks. When you arrive at the house you will enjoy all the modern amenities of today plus some. This elevated semi-oceanfront (one lot back) home features eight bedroom (4 Master King Ocean view bedrooms, 2 Master Queen Ocean view Bedrooms, 2 Duo bunk Bedrooms). There will be no fighting over bathrooms as every room has its own master bath. (This saves so much tension when travelling with extended family or friends. We included this when custom designing the house as I believe this is a must have.) All the king and queen rooms also have direct access to deck with ocean views. ( Another must have with large groups. ) The sunrise is literally just outside your door. The large kitchen will make any Chef smile with joy with an over sized double oven, two dishwashers, two refrigerator/freezers and a wine fridge. Two icemakers for those frozen drinks also. When is the last time you cooked and had views of the Atlantic Ocean just out the window? No better coffee brewing view around:) The dining room is very well sized with seating for the entire family with windows that allow you to watch the sunset over the woodlands to the west. Bring some popcorn, because the kids will absolutely enjoy movie night with the family in your own personal big screen theater room. It can get pretty intense and loud though if watching sporting events. Mom and dad will love having the private pool and hot tub to relax in with the family without worrying about sharing it with anyone else. No community pool here! This house was built with the sole purpose of making family memories that last. The beach is a short walk down an unimproved easement directly in front of the house or we always hop in the car and tailgate for the day. Hanging out at the beach with the family is sooo much fun. There is some limited parking for a family member or two that do not have a four wheel drive vehicles for a nominal charge about 8 miles from the house. The beach and house are also very pet friendly. We absolutely hate pet fees and don't charge extra to bring you canine family member. Sorry, but no cats allowed. Pool is open March thru October. Please note all maintenance and cleaning fees are included. Once you visit, we truly believe you will be back like many of our previous guests. Even if you do not rent our house, you need to experience this area sometime in your life. We would love to help you with your vacation fun.

We have been to Carova several time and love the 4x4 area. We saw horses everyday on both the beach and the house. House was clean and had plenty of space for the whole family. Bonus was that we also got to see sea turtle hatch on the beach, best part of the trip.

Tracy was an excellent host. He was very gracious in providing instructions on the property and the surrounding area. This location felt magical, with wild horses walking around the home and dolphins playing near the beach. My family had a wonderful time and found the neighbors very friendly. I would definitely recommend it!

We had a wonderful stay. Very clean, the kitchen was organized. We liked the tips from Tracy regarding driving on the beach. The pool and hot tub was nice especially when we couldn’t swim in the ocean. We saw horses right in the yard! I can’t think of one negative thing. It was a wonderful home for our family gathering. Thank you for sharing your shore home😎

My family and I just spent a week @ Crystal Cove. We've been to OBX several times but this was our first stay on a 4x4 beach. If you are considering this area for your next vacation, I can not recommend this house enough. Our large family had plenty of room. We ranged in age from 2 to 65 and this house fit all our needs easily. The views are beautiful and the area is quiet and FULL of horses. Every morning for 6 days I had coffee with the same 5 horses. Booking this house and staying in this area is more than a vacation its an entirely new experience. Book this house, bring your family, and enjoy the most relaxing, unique experience ever. I hope to make it back there again soon!

Had a great time with the family at the crystal cove in carova beach. It was our first time in carova and it will not be our last. The house is thoughtfully set up for large family groups. Kids loved the pool and the hot tub was so relaxing. Would gladly stay again.

5 families recently stayed here. We had an amazing time. Plenty of room for everyone. Easy access to the beach and the pool was used everyday! Response time from sandbar maintenance was prompt when it came to needing water etc. We would all absolutely stay here again and can’t wait to go back!

My family came from all over, Pennsylvania, Florida and Las Vegas, Nevada to enjoy a week at this home. The experience of the trek on the beach was one we will never forget. Our family had a glorious time and a much needed get together.

We had such a good time at Crystal Cove! We saw horses, we spent so much time on the beach, we all ate dinner together and played board games, and hot tubbed, and jumped in the pool and watched a movie like we were in a movie theater. My family all agreed, we would definitely go back! The house was very comfortable and had amazing views!

The thoughtful design that went into this home made it perfect for our group of 9 adults If the weather didn't cooperate, the house did! The owner and management company were available and assisted us with any questions/needs without hesitation (we arrived during TS Ophelia!). We would recommend and hope to make it back !!!!

The house is amazingly clean, and had so much room for everyone alone or all 8 of us together! The location was perfect for what we wanted. The owner was quick to respond, provided clear instructions and was very friendly! Couldn’t have asked for a better vacation!

Our stay was February 17-24. Family vacation that did not disappoint. Sunrises, sunsets, beautiful beach. We saw the horses daily, right from the decks on the house. The house was so functional for a large group. Driving on the beach with all wheel drive is alittle hairy but we did not get stuck. Planning a trip for 2025.
