About this house rental

Located in Carova Beach, this attractive house for $499 per night is a great option for your next trip. Hot to Trot is a vacation home in Corolla 4WD beach (also known as Carova) located in the heart of where the Corolla Wild Horses roam freely. You need a 4WD or AWD vehicle (preferably truck or SUV for ground clearance) to get to the house. Additional reviews on FB Hot to Trot Carova Vacation House. We are located approx 9 miles from the end of highway 12 at Milepost 21.5 and ACCESSIBLE BY 4WD/AWD ONLY. You will be driving on sand at the end of the paved road. This canal front home is an updated 5 bedroom, 4 bathroom vacation rental that sleeps 14 guests comfortably. The home was remodeled in 2017 and received many additional updates in 2022 and 2023. In 2022, we invested in a charcoal filtration with reverse osmosis water system installed in our home to combat the infamous Carova water. Contrary to previous reviews, the home’s water system has been overhauled and the water quality has been vastly improved. Other recent home updates include new sleeping mattresses, granite countertops, new deck railings, new smart TVs in 3 bedrooms, smart TVs in living room and game room, new bathroom faucets and shower fixtures, new ceiling fans, new kitchen fridge with ice maker, a new microwave and more! Hot to Trot is located approximately 950 feet to the ocean. Upgraded with luxury flooring throughout, there are 4 bedrooms with queen beds on the 2nd and 3rd floors. On the 1st floor there is a cozy bunk bed getaway with 3 sets of bunk beds to sleep up to 6 guests. Linen service is available for an additional fee or bring your own. This house is a 2 minute drive to the beach...you can tailgate all day. Get in your 4WD/AWD vehicle and open your trunk and enjoy the day! No need to hand carry your supplies. We provide beach chairs, cornhole boards (bring your own bags) and kayaks during your stay (over $500 in saved costs compared to renting your own items!) The kitchen is well-stocked with most tools to prepare a gourmet meal! In the great room on the upper level, there is a large dining table and breakfast bar to accommodate guests at meal time. Want to do some outdoor cooking? There is a park style charcoal grill available on the ground level. At Hot to Trot, there is a fun game room with a pool table and foosball to keep kids of all ages entertained. Want to explore the canals or the Currituck Sound? Borrow any of our 3 kayaks that come with your rental and paddle around- 1 tandem and 2 single kayaks are available to explore the surrounding areas. Bring your fishing poles on vacation to the beach or use them in the canal. You could catch both saltwater fish and freshwater fish. There is even hiking in nearby False Cape State Park. What an adventure! On the outside of the home, there is seating for outdoor dining and ultimate relaxation. On the ground level, you will find an outdoor shower to wash away the sand from your beach day. If you feel like relaxing at home, there is a private pool and hot tub to soak in the rays. Enjoy the beautiful outdoors on 2 large decks that wrap around the home. You will see wild horses frolicking around the canal and witness breathtaking sunsets from these spacious decks and outdoor seating. Want to connect with something other than the beautiful outdoors? There is wifi in the home along with 5 smart flat screen TVs. A library of movies is available, along with numerous board games and books. Come visit Hot to Trot and make memories for a lifetime!

The house was perfect, comfortable and well stocked. The communication with the host was super fast. The beach AMAZING. We saw a ton of horses, some in the yard. We took kayaks through the canal. I LOVE OBX!!! I did only give the "location and neighborhood" 4 stars because there are sand spurs everywhere and they stick to everything, make feet bleed, and are a real pain. Don't let this stop you but be cautious with dogs and children.

Great vacation house in a wonderful location on the canal. Whether you want to relax or keep busy with activities, this house has it all! Tailgate or walk to the beach, kayak or fish in the canal, swim in the pool, relax in the hot tub or just lounge one of the decks and enjoy the view. The wild horses are everywhere! We saw them multiple times each day. They even came into the yard multiple times. The owner is wonderful to work with. She will answer any questions instantly. Definitely recommend this house and plan on staying again in the future.

Arrived to the house after the drive down the beach, very easy check in process which was provided earlier that day. Great location, great views. The house was decorated very nicely and not to in your face beachy like some other places. Beds were comfortable, kitched was nice and big, with tons of storage and plenty of amenities and tolls to use. Lots of activities to do as well here. Will be back again soon amd I am already looking forward to that. Thanks for the amazing experience!!!

We had a great stay in Carova Beach. The house is well stocked with all items. The outside is breathtaking. The wild mustangs visited us outside in the front lawn of the house each morning and evening. We had a wonderful, peaceful getaway.

House was perfectly located, an adventure getting to but we had no issues! Everything we could think of or want was equipped in the house and more! Nicely decorated. Extra fridge and washer dryer were a nice perk. Used the pool and hot tub daily. Had fun with all the games at night. Host was super communicative and very gracious!
