Carova Beach is convenient for families because it is not necessary to walk to the beach.

Wild horses roam the area as well as fox, deer, and lots of waterfowl on the sound.

Two 4x4 parking passes are included with each 4x4 vacation home with a $50 cash deposit (refunded when passes are returned). Passes can be picked up at our Corolla Office (1023 Ocean Trail) during business hours.

We enjoyed our time at Carova Beach. It was an experience - learning to drive the beach, seeing wild horses and the calm/quiet or being off the beaten path. The property was ok. Our check in time was 4pm and they were still cleaning when we arrived at 5pm. Beds were not super comfortable, and one bed had full linen on a queen bed. That was remedied mid-week. The cleanliness was subpar - to say it nicely. Pots and pans were filthy, including some dishes and dish ware. We rewashed most to all before use. With that said, we looked past it due to the beauty of our surroundings. We are thankful we researched how to safely arrive and packed every single thing we could possibly need for the week.
