Horseplay Stay

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!

The Best Location

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!

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.

Family Vacation

The stay was great. The house was clean and well maintained. We had horses in our backyard and walking under the porches on the house, which was AMAZING to see! Absolutely beautiful area. We would stay again. My only complaint is the pool was advertised as being heated when I booked it but was not an option after booking.

OBX family celebration

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.

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.

Plenty of wild horses that actually set up in the back yard several times, cool. Laura was great and couldn't be more satisfied. Next time we plan to vacation in Carova, this place will be on our short list!
