Great location on 4wd beach. Perfect for small family or a few friends. Beautiful views of dunes from the top deck. Relatively easy to get to verses other places deeper in the dunes or further up the beach. Angi was very responsive addressing any questions or concerns.

Really cool place in the 4 wheel drive only section. Located about 3 miles into the dunes and takes about 15 mins to get to “town”. House was perfect for us and could sleep up to 6 comfortably. Ocean views over the dunes Owner checked in with us. Saw horses everyday. Pod of dolphins as well.

The house was exactly as listed, Angi is an excellent property manager, and was very helpful for us during our stay. The beach road is an experience in its self. Definitely need to air down your tires and 4x4 is an absolute must! We loved watching the horses graze and move through the dune area and onto the beach. They are truly amazing. Overall everything was great for a very quiet relaxing week.

Smooth Sailing is the perfect place if you are looking for a low-key spot away from the overly "touristy" areas of OBX. The sand road can be intimidating until you get used to it, but the convenience of loading up your beach gear and driving it up to your spot is worth it! Angi is a wonderful host--very quick to respond to any question and address any issues. We really enjoyed our stay!

Property is in a wonderful location behind the dunes of Carova Beach. Very private location.

We loved the 4x4 beach and wild horses in yard 3 out of 5 days.

Remote, pretty, sandy, oceanic, and a sweet serviceable place with great windows, decks & porches. The beach is actually a road or should I say the road is a beach? (sporadic traffic as you take in the grand Atlantic and build sand castles.) Angi is the most responsive vacation host I’ve ever rented from. She fixed things immediately, struggled with me over TV & Wifi, and called when she spotted wild horses. A gem. But, it would be wise to read the contract carefully; prepare for upcharges on linens (20 percent more than quoted) and funky at best connectivity. In fact, we're still trying fix our computers, a week later.

Our first spring break vacation with our family (my spouse, my mom, and two young daughters) to the ocean and all our first time in OBX. Driving on the beach was by far our favorite! The sand dunes and ocean was beautiful!! The size of the house was prefect for us and the host was excellent and answered all our questions and even stopped by with extention cord. Only complaint was the house was quite dusty and the windows could have been cleaned better to be able to see outside better. But host has chairs for family, tons of toys goe the girls and again the price of the house was great also beds were comfortable for all of us.
* Nothing Related to the house*We were bummed we didn't see any wild horses as this was one of the main reasons we booked and the weather wasn't the warmest; we're from WI so we were excited for 50s and a snow break, but it wasn't that warm and real windy.
5.0
This location is absolutely stunning! Dunes, ocean, wild horses, sunrises and sunsets, 4x4 beach! It is a remote playground. Not to mention all the fun exploring and sites within minutes or just a few hours if you want to get out to explore.
The house was great. Perfect for a couple or small family. Everything you’ll need in a kitchen - literally! And those views….🤩
We spent Christmas weekend here and could t have imagined a better experience.
Angi was responsive and accommodating and with an impending storm, she even let us check in early so we could access the house with no issues.
Everyone has said these things hut I will repeat for prosperity: 4 wheel drive is a must and yes, you will see wild horses at least one day of your stay!
We have already recommended the house to anyone who asks based off our incredible photos and we cannot wait to come back for a warm weather visit!

Property was well furnished with everything you need and location is great. Only thing I wish we'd known ahead of time is that owner lives next door. Wasn't a problem for us but, always in the back of our mind being watched-might have made a difference in deciding to rent. Other issue is that ad states having wi-fi and never did have access, owner never offered any compensation for it. Was a real problem and would be for most.

Beautiful Sunsets
Let me begin with the wonderful host, they are really nice people, they make us feel very confortable, the place is amazing and close to the beautiful beach, YOU WILL NEED A 4X4 TRUCK. If you looking to connect with nature, and also yourself this is the best place, quiet, peaceful and beautiful. 100% recommended.

4 Wheel Drive Beech House
Great place to stay, away from the beaten path. Horse's came to cottage several times. Saw 4 on the beach at waters edge on the 1st day. We had our small dogs, so the place worked out great for them. Peaceful, The owner was great, Takes a while to get to stores and supplies so go prepared. Definitely need 4 wheel drive, the sand is loose in some places, Thanks Angie for a great peaceful stay.

I am writing this review a few weeks after our stay but I cannot recommend this rental property & the OBX area enough. It was just a great week in so many different ways! Driving up the 4x4 beach area was a pretty cool experience. The videos of my wife driving up the beach will be forever unforgettable.
The property itself is/was exactly as advertised! It is a nice, relaxing location with some pretty scenic views.
By mid-week I kind of accepted the fact that I might not actually see any Corolla Wild Horses. This even after driving around and up to Carova combined with following some of the horse tour groups around like an out-of-place tourist. However, driving back from Duck, somewhat late, from an early dinner just out of the blue there were two (2) small groups of horses that had come down to the beach probably due to the storm that blew in. It was a pleasant surprise and a really nice way to complete our vacation!
Not much else to say other than... Awesome OBX!

We was visiting our daughter in North Carolina for the month of February and wanted to take a 5 night brake to the Outer Banks. Never been before but had heard much are really wanted to experience it. However, we wanted to find something that was set in the natural surroundings of the the dunes. Finding “Smooth Sailing” ticked all the boxes and on arrival was not disappointed. A lovely comfortable authentic beach house in a great private location. The drive to the house along the beach and up and over the dunes was a wonderful extra to the holiday, along with a visit from the wild horses. The owners have put everything in place to make your stay as comfortable and easy as possible, great people to deal with. We fully recommend and would not hesitate to go back. Do make sure you have a proper 4x4 and you will have a great time

This property was the perfect getaway for us on the outer banks of North Carolina. You need a 4 x 4 to get here by the beach outside Corolla but it is well worth the trip. Great beach home will all of the needed amenities. We could see wild horses in the dunes close by everyday. Anji the owner was extremely responsive - we will be back!

Close walk to the beach and plenty of decks to enjoy the view
We were celebrating our 1 year wedding anniversary, and this was the perfect getaway! The listing and photos are accurate. The beach is a quick 5 minute walk away, but you can see enjoy the views from the decks on the 2nd and 3rd floors. We really enjoyed hanging out on the porch and watching the sunrise as well as being able to see the horses that wandered thru the yard.

Loved sitting on the upper deck enjoying the sights and sounds of the surf and natural surroundings. The partial roof was helpful during brief but frequent rain showers. Although the place could use some remodeling upgrades, it is a homey, down to earth beach cottage as advertised.

Stayed first week of October 2021. Home has absolutely everything you will need. Tons of everything. Angie is super easy to get a hold of. We had alot of horses and they actually walk under the house to get out of the sun. The outdoor showers was a favorite of mine. One nite we were lucky enough to have Moose stop by (neighbors dog) he laid next to us on the porch and had some snacks. I walked him home after about an hour, he was tired and it was dark. He could see his mom, but he didn’t want to leave. If he comes over, there is a dog dish on the fridge. Great place to relax and enjoy the Ocean.
