About this house rental
Welcome to Northwind, a one-of-a-kind custom oceanfront vacation home on the 4x4 beaches of Carova Beach, Northern Outer Banks, North Carolina. This 4-bedroom, 2,748 sq ft property sleeps 12 and offers something truly unique on the OBX — a main house plus a fully independent Villa, connected by a shared deck, giving your group the perfect blend of togetherness and privacy. A four-wheel-drive vehicle is required; the property sits approximately 7 miles up the 4x4 beach. Pool and hot tub open mid-May through late September.
Main House – Three Levels of Oceanfront Living
The main house spans three levels with a ground-level entrance. The second level features a sweeping oceanfront living space with a fully equipped kitchen, dining area seating 10, living room, laundry, and half bath. A king bedroom with private bath and deck access sits just off this level, along with a hot tub on the northeast deck. The third level offers an additional oceanfront lounge with sofa, TV, and deck with panoramic Atlantic views. Two bedrooms on this level feature a room with two queens and a room with a king and twin trundle, sharing a private half bath and access to a dedicated shower room.
The Villa – Private Suite
Connected to the main house by the second-level deck, the Villa is a fully independent 432 sq ft retreat with its own kitchenette, full bath, queen bed on the bottom floor (new!), and a loft queen bedroom. Perfect for a couple or small family who wants complete privacy while staying with the group.
Private Pool & Outdoor Spaces
The large private pool sits on the oceanside of the property, surrounded by ample seating. A boardwalk connects the house, pool, and outdoor shower — no sandy feet tracked inside. Both gas and charcoal grills are available. Two beach season passes included for beach parking.
Views & Setting
Crashing waves, soft ocean breezes, and blue Atlantic expanses greet you from every level of Northwind. The famous Corolla wild horses roam freely in this area of the Northern Outer Banks, and the star-filled night sky over the ocean is simply unforgettable.

We have stayed at Beach houses before. This one was by far the cleanest most well thought out home. The haint blue porch roof, perfectly placed pool hot tub and decks among many others.The host was very accommodating and quick to respond.The in-law suit was such a great bonus. Many beach houses are massive. This was the perfect size for immediate family/friends.The horses were in the yard and under the home almost every day of our stay.If you want a secluded quiet vacation this house is the one.We can’t wait to stay again.

Very nice house and location on a beautiful section of the beach. Accessing the house required an 8 mile drive on the beach which you have to build into your daily planning because it's a slow trip and takes time.. the only other watch out ( which is out of the home owners control) is the traffic on Saturdays getting to/from OBX and through Duck was horrible both directions. Build in multiple extra hours into your travel planning both ways..

This home was absolutely beautiful. The decor and colors are gorgeous. The access to the beach was great! We were expecting to maybe see horses once while we were there, but we saw them every single day from the house, many times right in the yard. The pool and hot tub were nice, as well as the outdoor shower. The decks are great for viewing the beach/ocean and the horses in the neighborhood. We can’t wait to go back!

Such a great house and location! Waking up every morning enjoying our coffee on the deck, seeing the beautiful ocean, and of course the daily horse visits made our trip so special! Laura is great, appreciate her professionalism and promptness when questions arose. Truly a magical spot!
