Best Property Rental!!!

My husband and I stayed here for my 30th birthday and thoroughly enjoyed everything The Weathervane had to offer!!!! So much so, we added an extra night to our stay upon our arrival. The pool was amazing! The location was perfect! The house was clean and well maintained! We had many horse encounters on the property at all hours of the day. I still can’t believe this was available for us to book a last minute trip but we are so thankful and don’t think there could’ve been a better house for our 5 night getaway! We will definitely be back!!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful time on Carova. There was plenty of sight seeing to be had (horses, sunrises, sunsets, scenery and sea creatures). Yes sea creatures ( a school of rays, dolphins, crabs, and ?? shark). Our location was superb (easy walk to beach, beautiful sunrise and sunset views from deck, and wild horses seen from deck). It was easy riding on the beach. The house was beautiful inside and out. Enjoyed the pool. Definitely will return.

Great House! Great Vacation

Booking and check in process super simple and easy. House was clean and beautiful. No issues. We spent a lot of time on the beach, loved driving to the beach. Everything was so quiet and peaceful. Horses were in the backyard a few times which was super exciting. Would definitely stay again!

Magical place!

Our second stay in the Weathervane wonderful. The management was always quick to respond and go above and beyond for their guests. The house is well stocked and very comfortable. Our favorite spot was the screen porch where we played games and ate every meal while looking at the ocean and the horses in our yard. We absolutely love this house and the entire area. The horses and the beach make this a magical place. We will be back!

Wonderful 4x4 retreat

We had to cancel our early summer beach trip due to Covid. We were pleasantly surprised when the Weathervane popped up for an August vacation. This was our third visit to Carova and the Weathervane met all of our expectations. It was very close to the beach and the property was well maintained. The property manager was excellent and very quick with responses and requests. We highly recommend the Weathervane and look forward to future visits.

Great Location

This was our first time to stay on the 4x4 beach. The house is in a great location and was just perfect for what we needed. The house was clean and orderly. The A/C quit working on the second floor while we were there. We contacted the property manager and she scheduled the repair very quickly. Thank you for a great week!

The Weathervane review from Massachusetts Travelers

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved our stay and Carova. We really didn’t know what to expect about the access on the beach, but after arriving and figuring everything out it was pretty simple. It is definitely on of the most relaxing and family orientated trips we have ever had. We didn’t wear shoes for days, we were constantly walking in sand.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed at Weathervane two years in a row now and we love this house, it's location and the service from Carova Cottages. To be honest, the house was just as it was last year (minus the couple of wasps that tried to build a nest), well kept and clean. We can't wait to return!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Weathervane, rented through Carova Cottages, was a great experience. The booking process was fantastic and the customer support we received from Laura on our endless questions was by far the beat I’ve had when booking in the OBX. The house is incredibly well appointed with a spectacular view of the ocean. We saw so much wildlife, dolphins, crabs, and of course the wild horses. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Excellent home, very clean and well equipped

This was our second stay in 4x4. This home had more tour traffic. Also, more ATV/UTV and someone had an old dune buggy that was loud. House located further up the beach than our previous stay, but meant less “crowded” beach. For those of you not use to a well there is an odor to the water and not a lot of pressure. Overall home was very nice and well stocked for stay. Side screened in porch was great with fans and breeze. We did see a group of 3 horses most nights and our final night they grazed in the side and backyard.

Fantastic Getaway! Spectacular Ocean & Sunset Views!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Weathervane is an absolute gem in the heart of the Carova/Corolla 4x4 beach. My wife and I chose it to celebrate our 15 year wedding anniversary and could not have booked a more perfect location! 🙂 The wild horses stopped by almost everyday - an absolute treat to just watch them from both the second & third floor decks. The screened in porch off the living room is THE spot to watch the sunset. We were wowed by a different, awe inspiring sunset each evening. ⛅️ The owners are fantastic! They are very quick to reply and very friendly. The Weathervane has newer appliances, a very well appointed kitchen and fantastic water quality for the 4x4 area. We will 100% be back!
