Four of the horses hung out close by daily, which was really nice. We were an easy drive to the beach and did a lot of paddle boarding as well. Communication was great and the property was very clean. Read the details carefully about the property.

Clean and new house with bay access. Kayaks and life vests included. Our family of four + 2 friends was extremely happy & thought it was well decorated and beds were comfy! Thank you for making our family vaca a memorable one.

The place was so pretty and so nice. The owners were very nice considering we didn’t follow the rules they had in place. (Our fault not theirs). Be prepared to have a 4x4 and do 9 miles of sand-driving. Prepare to not make many of any trips to the store. It’s not a fun-filled vacation but perfect for a quiet getaway. The house and beach are absolutely lovely. R&R and lots of chill time.

We had a great relaxing vacation! Couldn't ask for much more. Communication with the owner was easy, the house was clean and exactly as pictured. Wish we could have stayed longer. Saw horses almost every day, easy drive to the beach. I would recommend a true 4x4 as we saw several AWD vehicles stuck. The drive on the beach at sunset is spectacular! Can't wait to come back.

Great house, not well stocked (kitchen, cleaning supplies, beach supplies) and issues with water quality due to strong and terrible odor. The house may need a quality sulfur filter.

We’ve been visiting Carova for ~ 10 years (OBX 25+)…. This was the perfect family house. Sundaze was my favorite rental yet and we didn’t even miss having a pool. It was perfect - cozy, cute, clean, organized. We all enjoyed the quiet of this home, the days out on the beach, happy hour and dinner.... then all 4 of us paddled out to enjoy the sunset on the sound with property provided kayaks and SUP. Wind down time with Disney+ / Smart TV for the kids (4 &9) was a bonus. The MBR closet and second MBR would have been perfect for a private little crib setup if traveling with baby. As someone who suffers from severe allergies and asthma but still loves the outdoors and getting off the beaten path - this property was such a treat. Hardwood floors, minimal decor, clean linens, quilts, made all the difference with my health. Carova neighbors were just so kind! The horses visited daily. Looking forward to our next stay and hopeful to book here again.

Great house, but a few things were missing. Some of the amenities were not accurate on the listing, but were not deal breakers. The listing stated 4 beach chairs for renters, but were really small cheap bag chairs that we didn’t use. The second family we shared with left later so we gave them a heads up to pack their beach chairs. Not a big issue, but I wanted to mention it for future renters. Second – the house needs a hose outdoors to wash off larger coolers and other items from the beach. Spigots by entrances were nice for feet, but the outdoor shower was full to the brim of stuff rendering it unusable. Horse tours frequented the area, so we didn’t want to remove all of the stuff from the shower then be responsible for it sitting out in the open all week. Third – expected the kitchen to be better stocked based on the listing. It was missing common things like a grater, liquid measuring cups and a colander. Staying in the 4x4 means you’ll be cooking and it wasn’t easy to run out and pick up kitchen items, which we did and even donated one. Fourth – the rental really needs larger outdoor trash cans and trash service twice a week. We had to take trash back with us in our vehicles since they were full, even though the majority of the occupants were not there all week. We ended up having to put 1 bag in the neighbor’s trash and even took larger boxes back with us, in addition to trash.Not something we expected to have to do. Fifth – the rental lacked any cleaning supplies, specifically cooktop cleaner, as other renters mentioned in the rental book. Traveled with Lysol wipes, but even after spending a significant time cleaning up after a boil over, incurred additional fees passed from the cleaners. Without getting into much detail, be prepared to bring plenty of cleaning supplies with you and take a lot of time cleaning, check after your kids diligently and don’t forget to press start on the dishwasher!!! Don’t expect the standard fee to cover anything more than a light wipe down of all surfaces and floors. We arrived to a 2nd bath shower full of sand. Not a big deal, so I didn’t say anything, but in hindsight it was a sign.

The property was as pictured, new and beautifully decorated. It was quiet and peaceful. Beach was a short ride from the house, loved the convenience of driving right on the beach. This is located far enough north on the 4x4 beach to avoid any drive by traffic as you experience on the southern end. Felt like we had a little section of the beach to ourselves. Loved our stay there.
