Very happy with the rental property. Our host was always available and friendly, providing us with good information.
The house met all of our expectations and more. Horses under our balcony, dolphins jumping and the roaring of the ocean - couldn't get any better. Great days on the beach and having the pool/hot tub was a bonus as well. There was plenty of room for all 11 of us to be together, as well as places for everyone to have alone time. Great vacation!

House was as described and very clean. Excellent views and a great floor plan for a family vacation. We have rented other homes in the area that we were disappointed with the cleanliness and overall condition and Horseplay was a pleasant surprise.
The house has enough rooms for our family of 12. The view was gorgeous and loved having my morning coffee and looking out over the ocean. We loved seeing the wild horses in the backyard and on rhe beach. We loved the private pool and spa. I’m not sure if the sheets were changed in the room with the 4 beds as there were crumbs on the sheets when the kids went to bed our first night. Other than that the house was pretty clean.

This is our second time staying at Horseplay. We love the house, the spaciousness and the proximity to the hard road (for errands, etc.) Laura was a gem to work with. Horseplay met all of our needs. We had a family of 10; there was space for everyone. Looking forward to more vacations in the years to come.

This was our 26th year coming to OBX, so we've been in many houses. This is one of our favorites! Despite weather from tropical storm, we had beach time every day, loads of fun, and loved the layout and everything about this house. In fact, we are booking it again in 2025. Also, Laura was FANTASTIC from day one in communication, service, and professionalism.

We had a blast! Worked out perfect. Laura was great to work with the whole way through. The house had everything we needed and then some. Our children loved that we could park the car with all of our stuff on the beach! We also saw horses just about everyday, sometimes in our yard! Watch your step. A great stay , would highly recommend. Will definitely book again with Carova Cottages!

The entire family enjoyed Horseplay very much. There is plenty of room for our family of 11. Plenty of bedrooms and common area to make all of us comfortable. This is the 2nd time we've stay here in the past 5 years. This house is however starting to show wear and tear and could use some general maintenance. We had an issue with not having adequate ice. A commercial ice machine would be very helpful. We had an issue with the pump quitting and had to be repaired. A handle in the 1st floor bathroom was off the shower. The front of the a drawer in the kitchen came off and needs repaired.

We had an awesome time with the whole family. This house is an easy walk over the dune to the beach, and being about 3 miles from the end of the road it's the perfect balance of not too much beach driving, but still remote enough to have lots of space on the beach. Driving on the beach was a fun novelty. The house itself has so many full bathrooms! And the top floor is great being completely open concept with great views. We had a great stay and highly recommend for anyone wanting a more remote beach trip, but still close enough where going into town for shopping or ice cream isn't too much of a hassle.

We had the entire family with us for the week. There was so much space escape from each other and big enough space for when we wanted to hang out together. Loved the location. We really loved seeing the wild horses roaming around. I'm pretty sure we saw at least 4 of them a day. We had a mom and her baby greet us on the patio when we arrived. So neat!
We had a fantastic time and I would rent again for sure

We have now stayed in Corova twice and this location was just the right distance based on the time it takes to get back to the main road. The house was clean with multiple unobstructed views of the ocean. The bedroom set-up was perfect for our family and the two dishwashers were definitely a plus. We will be staying here again.

We had an amazing time at Horseplay. It was the get away we needed this year. Wonderful to be on the beach everyday and have the wild horses visit. Laura was great... super responsive in adressing any questions. Can’t want to go back!
