Quite and relaxing place to stay.
If you are wanting a laid back vacation with beautiful scenery this place has it all. Great place to hang out with family. The home is very well equipped and Tim was very responsive and attentive. A beautiful location and we got to see numerous wild horses.

Great stay!
My family and I had an amazing time at this house! The house has a great open layout and everything was clean. The walk to the beach was short and the views were awesome from the house. We’d definitely stay here again! The drive to the house requires you to drive on the beach and it can get pretty bumpy, having an off road vehicle of some kind is definitely the best way to get to the house. If you have a vehicle that can get there, this is the place to stay!

The Perfect Getaway
If you are looking for a place to relax, center, and reflect on the most important things in life—family, nature, jaw-dropping sunrises, and all of the other blessings we tend to take for granted, Running on Faith is for you! The home is beautiful, clean, comfortable, and stocked with all of the amenities you need. The best part is the owner—responsive, thoughtful, caring, and just…chill. This was one of the most memorable family vacations we have had!

The house was exactly as advertised. Extremely clean and well maintained. The pool was very clean and added a great experience for our kids. There was ample room for us and the decks added easy access the beach. Communication with the owner was incredible. Highly recommended.

Relaxing getaway
Just got back from a one week stay at this beautiful property. It was two families who just wanted a week away at the beach and pool and we were not disapointed. The house, beach, pool and grounds were all as described and beyond. The host was amazing with communication and answered any of our needs that arose. I will definitely be back for future vacations.

Perfect place to decompress and enjoy the beach, the daily parade of horses and weather. But even if the weather stinks the house and view is enough. Thanks Tim for addressing our issues quickly.

Beautiful Clean Home!
This home is a wonderful beach house with everything you could need in the kitchen to prepare all meals which is very important to us. There is lots of hang out space for our family of 7 where everyone had their own space to relax. The pool area was awesome and close proximity to the beach. The house was decorated nicely, updated and very clean. We didn't have the best weather but our family with 5 children enjoyed our time together here! It was our first time driving on the beach so definitely do your homework on that before attempting that drive!! We would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful home and view
We had a wonderful stay. The house was clean, spacious, and comfortable. The kitchen was well-equipped and we particularly enjoyed being able to see the sun rise over the ocean every morning while enjoying a cup of coffee! The pool was great to have when it was too windy on the beach. The grandchildren enjoyed it immensely.

The beach house was amazing!
We had an amazing first trip to the Outerbanks! This beach house was just perfect for our family! We especially loved being right on the beach, swimming in the heated pool and enjoying the hot tub! What was so unique about this house was that the wild horses came right on the property! Tim made sure that we had everything that we needed and was very easy going! We will definitely stay again in the future!

Outstanding!
We have rented many times in the OBX and this was one the best! If you can handle the 4x4 drive to get there, you will love this property. You can walk from the house to the pool then over the dune and onto the beach! We also saw horses everyday - including a visit into our carport! The owner was also super friendly and a great communicator.

Sunrises, Sunsets and Beautifully Furnished
This was a fantastic place to spend my daughter’s spring break in the off season, with incredible direct beach access, unforgettable sunrises and sunsets and a beautifully furnished home with pieces I would seek out “in real life.” It was also spotlessly clean and smelled fresh as soon as you walked in, which I’ve found to be rare for beach rentals. The owner was very communicative, helpful and responsive, which we appreciated. We loved every minute and it genuinely felt like a comfortable, peaceful home away from home—we won’t soon forget our time here, and if you book you won’t, either!

Great Escape
Visited Running on Faith to escape for a few days. This was my second stay, and just as it did the first time, the house exceeded my expectations. Tim has thought of every detail to make your stay exceptional. I also appreciate that he called to check in to make sure I was enjoying my time. Will make every effort to come back.

Beautiful home with all the amenities
Our group of friends had a wonderful stay at Tim’s house in Carova. Tim was more than helpful and extremely responsive. The house is absolutely beautiful and so well maintained. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need. The beds are all comfortable, and the appointments in the house have a perfect feel of beach chic. Access to the beach is right over the dune. The hot tub and pool were lovely too. I highly recommend a stay in Tim’s home.

We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay for a week! The house is beautiful & decorated perfectly. Everything you could ever need is right there. Tim was awesome to work with & answered any of our question. We enjoyed our week! Hopefully we'll be back next year! Don't hesitate book it! It's worth it.

Everything about this brand new house is perfect! Right on the beach with gorgeous views. The owners have thought of every detail... A fully stocked kitchen and beautiful linens. Flat screen TV's in every room and gorgeous furniture. I want them to decorate my house! Our kids loved watching wild horses, Dolphins and fox right from the house!

Great time even with issues
This home is absolutely beautiful. We checked in with no issues. Within the first several hours the blower on the middle floor went out. The owner immediately addressed the issue and had window units installed. The pool is truly lovely. The location is awesome. The decks and walkways could use some attention, but it’s an absolutely wonderful place to stay! Tim is truly amazing and attentive.

Sunrise over the ocean and Wild Horses to start your day
Beatiful home with many amenities. Fully equipped kitchen. A lot of space to be on your own or hang out together. Views are spectacular. Tim was very easy to communicate with and very helpful. Make sure you rent a 4x4 if you are getting a rental. It’s a really interesting experience. Definitely a great getaway. Plan ahead to prepare for drives to go places or food shop on the way. The drive is eight miles on the 4x4 beach so there are no local restaurants or stores until you get to the main road. Would definitely recommend if this is what you are looking for!

High End Relaxed Getaway
I can't say enough great things about this rental and the owner. The house is stocked with everything you need, and it's all such great quality. As for the kitchen, the knives are sharp and they have great pots, even a huge stock pot for a low country boil. We loved the bedrooms and baths. Everyone remarked how comfortable the beds were - "where did they get these pillows?!" Better than my bed at home! The house has unbelievable sunset and sunrise views, a huge pantry space for bringing a week's worth of food, and we just loved the feel of the home - the interior design really made us feel like we were at a high end retreat! Thanks so much for everything - can't say enough about this property.
