Finding Sandity | 5BR 4x4 OBX | Pool, Hot Tub & Game Rm | Sleeps 10

Welcome to Finding Sandity, a stunning semi-oceanfront vacation home on the 4x4 beaches of Carova Beach, Northern Outer Banks, North Carolina. This 5-bedroom, 2,602 sq ft beach house sleeps 10 and sits on a lot with better unobstructed ocean views than most true oceanfront homes in the 4WD area. A private 14x28 pool, 6-person hot tub, game room with pool table, and ships watch loft make this one of the most complete vacation rentals on the Northern OBX. Walk to the beach in less than a minute. A four-wheel-drive vehicle is required; the property sits approximately 3 miles up the 4x4 beach. Three-night minimum stays available in spring and fall.
Bedrooms & Sleeping Arrangements
Five bedrooms sleep 10 guests across three levels. The top level features a king master bedroom with private deck access and panoramic ocean views. The second level offers a king bedroom with private bath and deck access, a queen bedroom with private bath and deck access, and a duo-bunk room with double bottom bunk, twin top, and an additional twin bed. A fourth second-level bedroom has been converted into a game room with a pool table and brand new queen sleeper sofa with deck access. A bonus bunk room on the top level is perfect for the little ones.
Private Pool, Hot Tub & Outdoor Spaces
The brand new 14x28 private pool sits on the oceanfront side of the property next to the dune, surrounded by sea oats — one of the most scenic pool settings on the 4x4 beach. The 6-person hot tub is open Memorial Day through end of September alongside the pool. An outdoor shower, charcoal BBQ grill, fish cleaning table, and outdoor furniture round out the ground level. Covered parking for two vehicles available.
Ships Watch & Views
The top-level open floor plan features a kitchen, dining room, living room, and ships watch loft — all wrapped in windows with multiple seating options and unobstructed panoramic ocean and beach views. Watch sunrises from bed on the second level or take your coffee to the ships watch for a front-row seat over the Atlantic.

Very spacious and each room had door to the porch which was great. The screen porch on the side was perfect to get away from the cool breeze but still able to view the ocean. The location was perfect with a great view of the ocean and area. We were able to watch the horses from the deck and even in the pool. Check in and out was very easy and hosts were great.

This was an excellent place to stay. Home was clean unbelievable views just amazing. If I had a negative it would be a soundbar for the TV is needed. Also 4x4 is highly necessary in order to get to property you will travel on beach and sand. Don't forget to Air Down your tires or you will get stuck. That's the good & bad!! you will love it!!

Family Vacation 2024

We really enjoyed our stay at this beach house! Being right on the beach was great and very secluded which made for a peaceful stay. We saw wild horses everyday and some came right up to the fence around the pool. The house was very clean and felt like our home away from home! Will plan on visiting again very soon :)

Loved the Location

Finding Sandity was a great vacation location for our family. Close to the beach, beautiful view, and we really enjoyed the pool and hot tub too. Driving 3 miles on the beach was a cool experience and caused us to enjoy the home and beach more. We look forward to vacationing in the Outer Banks again soon.

Family Vacation

My family and I stayed for a week to end our summer before the kids go back to school. The property was well maintained, had everything we needed and communication with the host was wonderful. Everything was exactly as described. The pool was such a great feature because one day the beach was just too hot to be comfortable and have the kids play. There were plenty of games and movies to also keep the kids entertained. We had an overall amazing experience at this property.
