About this property

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 make some great family memories.

The property is just as the hosts advertise. There is a lot to remember on the instruction list so read it carefully. If you stay at various VRBO locations every host does things their way. The Crystal Cove is packed with a lot of convenience and fun but doesn’t come with everything. Relax and enjoy your stay. The house is perfect for a big group

The house was perfect for what we needed. It had lots of bedrooms and bathrooms. The pool and hot tub was great. The kitchen had everything we needed. The homeowners were always available whenever we needed anything. You definitely need 4wd or a great AWD vehicle to get to the property but it was a great experience and everyone in our group loved the drive on the beach. We seen wild horses right out front of the house. It was a great vacation.

Tracy’s recommendations for things to do and directions about getting on and off the beach were great! (Definitely follow his guidance vs google maps which takes you over a more challenging dune). The house was amazing and fit our group of 14 phenomenally. The kitchen is well equipped for just about anything you may need. Everyone enjoyed the hot tub and cinema. The pool can get pretty sandy with the wind, but Tracy is very responsive if needed! Remember toiletries! We had kiddos with us and didn’t pack any so it made for an awkward first hour while some of them patiently waited for the Food Lion run before using the bathroom. Lots of sand toys and a few boogie boards which helped entertain everyone without having to lug things in. The horses love the backyard. We had rain the first couple of days and didn’t see any, but by the end the horses were in the yard several times a day. They can be curious so remember the 50 ft rule. The ability to disconnect and enjoy the simple things was unlike any other vacation we’ve taken. Even my teenagers were boogie boarding and flying kites. We spent hours on the beach with no one else within 1000ft of us! Highly recommend!

Great home for a family vacation. Plenty of room for activities together while allowing space when wanted. Beautiful views of both sunrises out front and sunsets out the back. Very quiet area. Lots of opportunities to view the wild horses.

Memorable stay at the beach

Our stay here will be fondly remembered by our family. Plenty of room (and personal space) for everyone. The house is inviting and beautiful and the kitchen spacious enough for a lot of cooks! The kids loved the pool and the adults gravitated to the hot tub. All in all, it was a wonderful stay that went by too fast.

This was my immediate family’s first time in the Outer Banks. There were 8 adults and 5 kids, ages 10 and under. There was more than enough room for all of us so we were not on top of each other. There is something for everyone to do at the house. There is a pool, hot tub and movie theater. Upstairs in the front room, in a cabinet, there were games and books for the kids. When you went outside, under the main stairs there are a ton of outdoor toys for the sand. It has buckets, boogie boards, shovels, and all the stuff you need to play in the sand. It has chairs to take to the beach, which is just across the street. The owner has communicated every time I reached out. He has even gone above and beyond, mailing us back my nephews favorite elephant “stuffie” he accidentally left behind! I truly from the bottom of my heart have nothing negative to say. It was an amazing vacation. Ooooh and did I mention five out of the seven days we were there the wild horses were either on our property or across the street? And we saw an eagle, and a baby shark that got beached. All the people helped with sticks to get it back into the water. Simply a magical vacation!

Our stay was over and above all expectations! The house gave off positive energy and the surroundings are breathtaking. It was spacious and cozy. We especially loved that all of us were able to gather for cooking and sharing meals around the big table with plenty of seating space. From the sunrise to greet you, the majestic horses, the beautiful ocean with dolphins swimming by and the amazing sunsets to end the day. We all had the time of our lives and can’t wait to enjoy another fabulous vacation at this home.

It was an absolute wonderful week. For late October the weather was amazing. Everyone loved having their own bathroom. The wild horses visited the yard at least 3 different days. They were so beautiful. We walked on the beach every sunrise and we went on a couple moonlite walks too.

Beach Getaway

We had such a great time and enjoyed the ease of having everything you need. Our week had so many days of nice weather that we got to spend a lot of time on the beach, which was conveniently close to the house. As the description mentions, you have amply space to spread out. Tracy was great to work with and made checking in and out a breeze. The memories we made during our stay will last a lifetime, but hope that it won’t be our last visit to Carova Beach!
