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!

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

The house was perfect for the family. The four bedrooms with four baths gave everyone the privacy that needed. The house is directly on the beach which made it easy to go back to the house for lunch! It was an experience riding on the beach to get to the house. . We enjoyed the pool and hot tub. I highly recommend the house.

Great Overall Value and A must Try if you never have been to the 4x4 zone.
Beautiful house. Great location. Host was responsive. Definitely would visit again. My only feedback would be that there needs to be a second fridge or separate beverage fridge. We traveled in group of 4 and it was tight mainly due to beverage storage. On a side note (general 4x4 zone tip), be very, very careful traveling to the property, we did over $1800 damage to the underside of our vehicle due to being loaded down (This would apply to any house in the 4x4 zone requiring beach travel). Stay on the hard pack as much as possible and personally I wouldn't drive in others tracks as many suggest. The problem wasn't getting stuck in the sand, it was bottoming out due to ground clearance. With that as stated I would definitely revisit the house, the location is amazing.

We were extremely pleased with this property, start to finish. I would hands down recommend this one. Tim was extremely responsive (not that we needed anything) but his availability was greatly appreciated. It was clean and the pictures were on point with the property. If you’re like me and read the reviews prior to making a decision- this is the one! It should be 5/5 stars. The one bad review here is a very poor misrepresentation of the property. We LOVED it and had the best vacation!

A wonderful home that was such a treat to stay in. We had a huge group and this was the second house we rented for the more relaxed people in the group. Very quiet and peaceful and provided a perfect spot for accessing the beach. There are TONS of opportunities to see the horses as they seem to love the carport. We enjoyed every minute and would very much recommend this house to anyone.
