The week was perfect. The only way it would have been better would be if we could have stayed forever. We love the house, its secluded location, the amenities provided and our host Trent is truly an angel. We recommend this listing. It was a wonderful birthday week for me spent with family and friends.

Had the best time!! The owner was amazing, communication was top notch, everything was as advertised and better than we expected! We usually stay Ocean side but so glad we found this property on the Canal! We had so much fun Kayaking and crabbing and the beach was just a super quick hop down the road. Absolutely will recommend this property to our friends and family!!

This has got to be the best place to stay. Watching the deer, horses and various birds while sitting in the pool or hot tub. The house has everything you need and has the feeling of home. Trent is the best to work with and is always there to help if anything is needed. I highly recommend staying here.

The house was amazing. Our family loved everything about it. We seen different varieties of wildlife each day. Trent is an awesome guy to rent from and goes above and beyond to make sure your trip feels like you are at your home away from home. With all the vacations we've been on in the past, Trent was definitely the best person I've ever dealt with. He cares more about you and your family having a great stay than any other landowner we've stayed at. I will definitely recommend any place he has to everyone. If you haven't had the pleasure of staying at his rental then you are truely missing out!! Do yourself a favor and book it because you won't regret it!!! The pool and hot tub are great for all ages!! Again, I can't speak highly enough on the how great this house and everything it offers was!!! Lastly, I completely recommend this place and any others that Trent has available. He truely cares about your stay and it shows!!!

We had an amazing week at Mermaid Hideaway! The house was comfortable with everything we needed, even toilet paper and paper towels. We watched horses from the front yard daily. Water next to the house was clean for fishing, kayaking, and even a little swimming. The owner was easy to contact, answered all questions, and even picked us up some fishing bait. We have been to many vacation homes and this was the best!

This was definitely an experience with having time restrictions when you can leave and have to be back due to high tide, when we figured out our way around it was great. All the puddles we had to go through was a little nerve racking but with the truck we made it. Had a little trouble finding the house with being our first time but I contacted Trent and he came to rescue us, once we got there we did nothing but relax and anything we needed Trent was on top of it and constantly checked in on us! Couldn’t of asked for a better host!

Thanks for giving us a private/peaceful week. It was a perfect getaway. The pool is awesome. Loved relaxing in the hot tub in the evenings. Great communication with Trent. Listen to his advice on tire pressure and you will have an easy time getting to house. Wildlife and nature was amazing. Saw our first otter that was not in a zoo! Highly recommend!

Being on the canal was great with seeing the deer and cranes. My nephew caught his first fish! We loved seeing the horses everyday. We had access to the sound to ride our jet ski. The pool was great! The house could use a power washing and a little better lighting at night.

Exactly as described online
This place is amazing .... between the horses and turtles and other nature around you cannot go wrong and there is plenty to do .... fishing, kayaking, walking , swimming in the pool hot tub , corn hole and anything you can think of . Perfect for families with little kids and big kids. If you don't mind driving on the beach and have a vehicle that can make it , I highly recommend renting this house 👌 👍 😀

Vacation of a lifetime while staying at Mermaid Hideaway!! Trent and Steph were very welcoming and went way beyond what a host would need to do! Their beautiful home is located on a canal with a lot of wildlife and the horses swimming across it!! When we realized our SUV was only a 2 wheel instead of a 4x4 they dropped everything without hesitation and drove us to Corolla in their own SUV to get groceries!!! The home had everything we could ever want and more and beds very comfortable!! The new pool was situated so you could look at the canal and great location to the beach!! Making plans to go back in the fall because it was so peaceful and relaxing while enjoying the wild horses daily!!!

Great views and wildlife
My wife and I stayed here for the first part of our honeymoon. Trent is a great communicator and an excellent host. The horses were amazing. The first morning we watched them play in the canal right outside. The day we left a group of three horses came into the driveway as if to wish us a safe journey. The experience was very touching. The views from the deck were awesome and the beach was gorgeous. The pool is definitely private and wonderful on a hot day. If you are looking for a place to stay for the wildlife and the views with the benefit of swimming space, this place is amazing!

Had a great time - Place was clean - and taken care of.

Trenton the property owner was outstanding to work with. Any time we had a question, he was quick to respond. The location was beautiful, right next to the canal and only a few blocks away from the beach. The swimming pool and hot tub were an added bonus, very clean, the pool is salt water which was a nice surprise. We saw the wild horses almost every day, right in the backyard. I would definitely recommend staying here.

Great location. Saw so many horses and other wildlife! Was disappointed that the running water was basically salt water - they need a new filter. Make sure to bring plenty of bottled water! Also, the grill is charcoal so make sure to buy charcoal before hand... we do a lot of grilling so had to go back into town to buy a bag of that. Had a great stay overall.

The usage of the Kayaks and the ability to fish off the pier were great features. Very clean and beds were comfortable.
No complaints.

Our family had a great time at Carova beach. I was a little concerned at first taking the 4x4 Ford Explorer but it ran like a champ with no issues! The beaches were clean and the house was awesome and had everything needed for a relaxing week. The hot tub, in ground pool , kayaks and dock were on point. The sunrises and sun sets were amazing! We caught lots of different fish in mid July right from the back of the house. The horses paid us visits every day & the wild life was abundant! Trenton was very responsive and great to chat with. Cellular service is excellent with the tower right in the community. Get off the pavement, air down the tires and head to this house. You won’t regret it. It’s the vacation your family needs to reconnect and get away from the everyday hustle and bustle. Mom & Dad, Grandparents, & Kids all feel rejuvenated and connected. We will be talking about this experience for a lifetime!

We enjoyed our time at the Mermaid Hideaway. Our boys loved the hot tub and kayaking in the canal. The weather was a little cold for the pool while we were there, but it was clean and private. We saw horses every day near the property and enjoyed grilling on the patio. Some components could use some updating or replacing (e.g., bathroom faucets/handles, kitchen cabinets, some furniture), but nothing major. While we enjoyed driving on the sand, there were times when we wished we were a little closer to town. Wifi and cell signal were surprisingly good! All in all a very cool way to experience the Outer Banks!

Easter Break
Carova Beach is a magical place. The home was situated on the canal and when we were not taking long walks on the beach we would sit on the deck and watch the world float or wild horses swim in the canal. Trenton was super responsive and helpful and lives nearby. He provided us extra kayaks so that we could all explore the backwaters and then warm up in the hot tub afterwards. Great stay

Just what we needed
We love the 4x4 area. The wildlife, the disconnect, the privacy are important to us as a family. The house was very clean and well appointed. The family enjoyed the daily horse appearances, kayaking the canals to the sound and daily trips to the beach. The fact that 2 kayaks were provided saved us the hassle of worrying about logistics. The owner could not have been more welcoming or flexible. The internet was fast enough to watch movies, work remotely on zoom and have the two kids attend virtual learning. We'll be back, that's for sure!

Great Getaway
Thank you for letting up have a getaway from all the stresses of 2020. House was great and had everything we needed. The horses and deer first thing in the morning were great to watch. Can't wait to do it again soon!!

This getaway is exactly what we needed! Trent was the perfect host and made sure we got to the house okay and checked in on us. We could not have asked for a better week. Our dogs loved the big backyard and trails to walk along. The beach is also dog friendly which we loved! We got to enjoy the sunshine at the beach or sitting on the dock at the house and at night the cooler weather allowed us to enjoy the hot tub on the property. The wild horses that walked along the house and swam in the canal in the backyard were incredible. Trent’s house had everything we needed and was incredibly clean and smelled great when we arrived! We can’t wait to come back! We miss it already! Thanks Trent! Bri, Steph, Hogan + Remi

Perfect getaway
This property is perfect for family, lots of room to spread out, pool, hot tub to chill in. Canal to fish, crab, and kayak in, easy drive to the beach, really private getaway. Back to nature with plenty of wildlife, horses that walk around, so much better than a crowded condo or hotel, this is our 3 year and we will be coming back for many more.

Epic Family Adventure!!!
House was more than we expected! Pictures just can not do it justice. Wild horses every morning and unbelievable views of the sunrise and sunset! Not one moment of our trip was wasted as there is so much to do at the house when we finished at the beach each day. We plan to return for sure!! Thank you Trent for all the follow up and easy communications!!
