Great location, house was perfect for large families to stay together. A little disappointed in the cleanliness upon arrival, notified the owner, felt like she was more defensive than considerate regarding us making her aware. We did see horses every day we were there, on the beach, as well as around our property. Our family thoroughly enjoyed our time there, and would go back.

The house and the location was just as described. The house was spacious and very homey. We had never stayed in the 4x4 area before and the experience will be talked about forever. We had a small wedding on the beach and it was beautiful. So thankful for memories made at the Salted Dunes OBX. I recommend this home to everyone who wants to have a relaxing getaway from the hustle and bustle of life and enjoy the solitude of salt air and sands in your toes.

Our large family had a wonderful time staying here. There was plenty of room, the beautiful home was very clean and it is the best location with sightings daily of the beautiful wild horses and dolphins. Marissa is a very courteous responsive host and we are definitely visiting again. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Our stay was absolute perfection! The home accommodated our family nicely. The home is exactly as advertised, very nice, and private. The homeowners were quick to respond to all of our questions.

My family and I really enjoyed our stay at this property! The views were incredible and we saw many beautiful sunrises and sunsets throughout the week. The whole experience and ambiance of the beach was so different than what we’re used to, in a good way. Although it was not difficult to reach the property, there were extra steps involved which took the pressure off of us filling our days with “plans” for the kids. Instead, we let them play in the gentle, kid friendly surf all week and experience nature up close. We saw wild horses from the porch twice, and actually got to witness a sea turtle nest hatching on the beach which is a memory we won’t soon forget!! The house was clean and perfect for our needs. It’s a beach house off the beaten path, so I didn’t expect everything to be brand new or sparkling clean, but I was pleasantly surprised by the condition of the property. I’m not sure how anyone could have described it as being very dirty. It was clean and it’s very clear that someone loves and cares for this house. The kitchen was fully stocked, there were plenty of beach chairs for our group, and there was even a high chair for the little ones. The bedroom set up worked great for us - with so many options, we each found a room that worked for our needs. It is about a 15-20 minute drive up the beach once you hit the 4x4 area. We brought an air down tool and a pressure gauge and had no problems with our 4WD vehicles, although I did white knuckle the steering wheel a couple of times (first time beach driver!) We had a medical emergency during our trip and had to drive to the hospital over an hour away, then be transported by ambulance another 2 hours for treatment. Just something to keep in mind if you have a medical condition, but that is going to be the case anywhere remote. Make sure you’re prepared for everything a 4x4 beach vacation entails, and enjoy the trip. With that being said, the owner of this property is literally the most responsive owner I have ever encountered- she was very helpful and always SO quick to respond. We had many questions and she provided great recommendations. We would absolutely stay here again and would rent any other property she was managing. Five stars from our group - thank you for the hospitality!

Great stay for extended family getaway. Plenty of room for 8 adults, 5 kids. House was clean and updated. It was very nice not to have to bring our own linens. Having the pool was a huge plus. Multiple horse sightings during our stay. Unbelievable location and easy access to beach, couldn’t get closer if we tried! We really loved being on the 4x4 beach while still having quick access to Corolla and Duck.

The house, pool, and property were as described and as expected. However, the cleaning service was subpar. E.G., one of the bathtub/shower drain was clogged with hair and all the towels had an bad odor. The renter should not have to deal with these things, but we did take care of them.

Unfortunately, the house was dirty! The dishes, utensils, pans, etc. and their drawers were very dirty with dried food. The kitchen pantry was unusable due to the grime on the shelves and dirt on the floor. Under the couch was disgusting and the couches and chairs were too dirty to sit on (dirt, stains, trash and crumbs!). Some of the walls had cobwebs and tape on them. Shower curtains moldy. One dryer doesn't work. A TV in one of the bedrooms didn't work. The host was not informed of the dryer or TV - we didn't want to deal with having repair people there. They circuit breaker trips often. I have forwarded the host pictures and mentioned the safety of the wooden stairs (one board breaking). Hopefully for future guest this is resolved. The bathrooms were clean (except some curtains) The pool was fantastic! Be careful of nails sticking up on the pool deck though! We saw horses many times and the beach was great! We did have a fantastic family vacation! Please note a 4 wheel drive vehicle is a MUST!

had fun and good weather all week, just be prepared for the beach drive and have a wonderful time!

We arrived alittle early and went to beach at beach owner said we were early I told her traffic was quicker than anticipating. We stayed on beach until 4 . We finally entered home to sand and dirt on floors bathrooms had mold on shower curtains and mold in corners of bathtubs.We we’re getting ready to make dinner and found dried food on plates and pans .The views were beautiful but the posts in railings were loose and could be pushed by my 2 year old twins in many spots Nails were sticking and very dangerous for all of us. These things might not be major except the railings but the amount of money I paid was not small and definitely not worth it , Owner answered our concerns but not satisfied for the money paid. Very disappointed I lost both of my parents within a 3 month span of time and something special to celebrate their lives with my family.😢

My entire family enjoyed the stay. Great house and location.

This is not your normal beach rental experience. If you want to get away and enjoy the beach with no hotels, condos, crowds, etc. then this is a great location. We saw groups of wild horses throughout the week and they even came under the rental house one afternoon to check things out. Pods of dolphins swam back and forth about 100 yards out around 10am every morning. The house is well stocked and the large kitchen and dining table are perfect for large groups. The kids enjoyed the pool on hot afternoons. We rent homes every summer and everyone agreed this was our favorite beach vacation ever. The town of Corolla is nearby (15 min drive) and shopping, dining, activities are available if you need an occasional break from the beach.

A very nice clean home with plenty of space. We had a very nice quiet relaxing week! Didn’t want to leave and can’t wait to come back!

This was our first trip to the outer banks and we loved it! I underestimated the 4x4 beach and was quite intimidated at first. Driving at low tide is much easier and 4x4 is absolutely necessary. The house was clean and well represented overall. The kitchen did not have any spices, something I wish we knew because getting to the store is not quick and easy. Also, there were no kids toys so we had to go buy a few things to get through the week. Marissa is incredible and very receptive. We loved the beach, the horses, the weather. We had a great time and hope to return to the OBX in the future!

This house is gorgeous and the location is even better! Plus the owners were extremely nice. 🙂

Our family had an amazing vacation at Salted Dunes! The location was incredible, right on the beach with views of the ocean from every room. The beach was beautiful! We loved having the pool, definitely a huge plus on hot summer days. The kitchen was awesome for our family as well, we enjoyed home cooked meals every night! We had a great time watching the wild horses up close, truly an amazing experience. Also, having laundry was a huge plus. Overall, this property could not be beat and we are so grateful to have enjoyed such an amazing family getaway!

Great from start to finish. Carova beach is less crowded and quiet, yet still accessible to shopping, food, and Currituck Lighthouse. The wild horses are everywhere (don’t feed them, but enjoy their calm and beauty from a distance). The house is spacious with an amazing view. It was everything we needed for a relaxing getaway!

This was our first time visiting the Outer Banks and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The house was beautiful, clean, and comfortable. The kitchen was fully stocked with dishes of every kind, cookware, and gadgets. Most every room had a beautiful ocean view. The decks offered ample seating and refreshing breezes. We especially enjoyed the screened in porch. The bedroom layout was great. It allowed for privacy and a bit of separation which worked well when the kids wanted to stay up late and parents wanted to turn in early. We really appreciated the washers and dryers because being able to do laundry allowed us to pack light. We used Canary Drive to access the house which we found to be a bit easier than the way our GPS tried to take us. We saw the wild horses several times all around the house which was an amazing experience. We were a bit concerned about how our SUV would do on the beach. We have a 2019 Dodge Durango with full time 4WD. It did fine driving in the sand but our ground clearance was less than we would have liked which made driving during high tide a bit more challenging. For reference we have 5 inch clearance to the air dam. The host, Marissa, was lovely to work with and very quick to respond.

This is a great place to stay! Plenty of room and plenty of things to do. Great for multiple families.

Property was exactly as pictured! Horses hung out in the yard, driveway and carports every day! Property was in the perfect location and Laura and Jim were great. My family and I agree that it was the best vacation we've ever taken together; and that's out of 30 years of beach vacations! We can't wait to go again! Thanks for a great time and sharing your beautiful home with us. The McCrackens

We had no issues with renting and all Instructions were very clear. The house was clean and fully stocked with all your houseware needs. Location was perfect to walk back and forth from beach. Kids enjoyed the pool and adults enjoyed the hot tub. So many spots to chill and watch the sunset and rise. Game Room was a fun hangout.We plan to come back and would stay at the Four Seasons again.

We are a three generation family, who enjoy a yearly vacation together, this was the ideal home for us. The kitchen was well stocked, with everything we needed to fix large meals, the bedroom setups worked perfectly for us, the game room offered entertainment and the pool was convenient, clean and relaxing. Not to mention the incredible experience of watching the magnificent wild horses who walk passed the property every day. We had so many concerns prior to arriving concerning covid 19 and necessary restrictions, precautions etc. not to mention a hurricane threat. Property manager Laura with Carova cottages, was GREAT in supplying all the necessary info and support we needed. Throughout our stay she was a phone call away. We would definitely recommend renting this beautiful home to anyone who would feel comfortable being beachfront, with lots of privacy, in a natural setting, surrounded by remarkable wildlife.

Had a great time. 4 x4 was unique. House was beautiful and clean. Pool was clean. Tge only time was deck needed s little update. But was a wonderful time. And I would highly recommend

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was exactly what we were looking for! The house was very clean, well stocked with kitchen utensils, beach chairs, etc. You have to drive roughly a half an hour on the beach to get to the house which is an adventure all it's own. I highly recommend this house! We saw wild horses walking around right below the deck, a coyote at night, sea turtles, and tons of dolphins. The pool could've used a twice a week cleaning instead of just once but overall a great stay!
