Beach access only beautiful beaches, wonderful sunsets and amazing wild horses

Upon arriving to the property, the property was very clean. It’s in a very secluded area. There are some properties close to the house, but everybody is very respectful. We noticed that the house had lots of room for large families it was just my wife and I and the two dogs so we did not use most of them. The host left watering bowls for the dogs and food bowls two big bottles of water for us. The water near that area is not the best. If you know, you know. The house did state that the owner will be adding a new well soon for better water. The host was very attentive. He also ensured that the hot tub was ready to go cleaned out with non-chlorine disinfectant. we arrived in the evening so it was getting dark quickly so we didn’t do much that evening but watch TV and fix a easy dinner. There’s a barbecue pit outside plenty of cookware, towels and linens. There are two main decks off the house and a higher balcony on the third level. Perfect spots for morning coffee. After the first night we noticed that the TV in the main room went out the host came over within about 15 minutes looked at the TV and confirmed it was not operational and offered to replace TV while we were there. We said not needed because we didn’t come there to watch TV. We just watched tv in one of the other rooms. Wifi was pretty good coverage especially for an austere environment. We had a great time watching the wild horses and the beaches to ourselves. Highly recommend.

Weekend Getaway to Paradise

We stayed at Octopus Oasis for the weekend to celebrate our son graduating from high school. It was the perfect getaway. The house is beautiful & well maintained. The remoteness offered the tranquility we all needed to escape from the busyness of life & just reconnect with each other. The beach was only a 5-minute drive from the house. Loved being able to pack up & drive on the beach to spend a relaxing time without having to lug equipment through the sand. Being with nature, seeing the wild horses, & not having to deal with the hustle/bustle of a "beach/tourist" area, was truly the best part. We typically go to Ocracoke for the serenity, but Carova is definitely our new go-to. The owner & property manager were both wonderful to interact with & truly the best hosts. Thank you so much for sharing your home!

Corova beach nc

This was our first time renting a house on the beach anywhere. It was very secluded. There were a few issues, but I suspect any place like that has a few issues. So I guess you get what you paid for.

Best experience of OBX to date

Overall best experience to date I’ve had at OBX. Raw and untamed, what I envisioned the island to be before heavy tourism and development. Wild horse encounters were more than you can count on two hands! Trent and Stephanie were helpful,prompt,and courteous.private and secluded .

We have a WONDERFUL time during our stay!! This vacation was absolutely amazing and the most peaceful one ever. From driving on the beach to seeing the wild horses in the back yard, we loved every single moment. The hosts were amazing, very friendly and helpful. Wished we could have stayed longer but we will definitely be back next year.

Great stay!

We visited for over July 4th with another family and had a toddler, a 5 year old, and 2 teenagers. There was plenty of space for everyone. The house was clean and really nice. The hosts were very communicative and responsive. They reached out and gave us good advice for getting there and some things to consider before leaving the paved road, and were flexible about check in so we could drive on the beach at low tide. We enjoyed the hot tub and got to see horses wandering through in the evenings. It was amazing to be able to pack up all our stuff for the beach and drive right to where we wanted to go. Overall, great trip and we’ll probably be back!

Truly an Oasis!!! A trip that restored the soul!!

The home was in tip top condition. New everything, including hot tub, appliances, all beds and pillows (high end excellent quality). It truly makes for a better experience having peace, quiet, clean and comfy bedding. The owners were truly a blessing, living nearby. They were the definition of true southern hospitality. They went above and beyond making our stay as comfortable as possible. I could not have asked for a better host from maintaining the hot tub, answering numerous questions about the area, explaining the safest ways to enjoy the 4x4 beach, and much more. Octopus Oasis exceeded my expectations!!! I have owned a shore home, and have traveled the states extensively and highly recommend this experience!!

Wonderful place

Beautiful place to stay, owners were very helpful. Absolutely loved the location within minutes of beach but yet private and secluded. Great home for multifamily groups, extremely clean w/all the kitchen accessories needed which is very difficult in vacation rentals when you're cooking all your BBQ meals and so on, Definitely RECCOMMEND, plus seeing all the wild horse right out your back door - Amazing.

How to go M.I.A in three easy steps...

Last minute getaway for us after a very long drought of down time. We really wanted to be left alone...as in, alone alone. Lol And this place fit the bill perfectly. I booked it. We drove there. We enjoyed. It's that easy. The privacy of the 4x4 location is what makes it. What an adventure. See ya next year. Thanks again.
