Anniversary getaway

This is our second time staying here! And we will be booking again for September. We absolutely love it here, the peace, seclusion, 4x4 adventures and nature is everything our soul needs to reboot. The house has everything you need and makes you feel like you are at home. We enjoyed sitting on the deck and watching the River otters play. My husband caught some bass and crabs in the canal outback. The horses are a beautiful bonus watching them in the wild.

First time

This was our first experience to Carova Beach. It was the best stay for us with 81 year old mother and two dogs. This place was so accommodating in the kitchen as well as the other areas. We couldn’t find one bad thing about it. We are already talking about coming back in the fall. Thank you for such a great time.

A True Getaway!

We loved our weekend at the Dew Drop Inn! It was super relaxing and refreshing. The cottage had all we needed—very cute and stylish. It was perfect for my husband and I. The horses came into the yard as we were sitting out in the evening. Everything was comfortable and easy!

Tranquil get away

Couldn’t ask for a better place to stay. Beautiful, clean and quiet property with everything you need to have a perfect stay on 4x4 beach. And the horses off the balcony almost every morning were breath taking. The host was very friendly and quick to respond to any questions. Definitely would recommend this place.

Plan to Stay Longer

We arrived in Norfolk frazzled by life but the drive to OBX and ensuing beach drive literally helped us depressurize like our tire air pressure. Our hosts provided great directions, a clean and cozy home, and all the watercraft toys we could have hoped for, plus fishing gear. Four nights was definitely too short, just sayin’.

Super cute little cottage

Super cute little cottage on the calm waters connected to the sound. Very well stocked kitchen and comfy furnishings. Check the tides and the weather coming in/out! Can be quite the adventure. Surprisingly good internet and cell service was nice on a rainy day. And yes, wild horses are all around!

Incredible Stay

Had a fantastic time staying on this perfect property. There was no shortage of visitors (wild horses) everyday, and a ton of things to do in and around the area. Navigating the beach during high tide is one of the funnest things I've ever done, but I should have paid closer attention to the tide charts - people do get stuck. My favorite part of this trip was starting a fire at sunset and having 2 horses climb out of the water and saunter right past me. I barely had time to snap a photo! It was breathtaking, and I can't wait to be back!
