Splash of Lime 4x4 Carova Beach Cottage - Private Pool/Hot Tub
Splash of Lime Carova is a remote beach getaway, reached by 9 miles of beach driving after the pavement ends in Corolla - part of the adventure and fun. Wild horses roam freely and are known to visit the property. Spend your days relaxing on the porch with ocean views, walking the shoreline in search of ocean treasures, or loading your beach gear and drive straight down to the best spot on the sand. A 4WD vehicle is required for your trip to Splash of Lime.
Where You'll Stay: Main Level - offers an open concept great room with dining and a fully equipped kitchen. Two bedrooms - one with a king bed and full private bath (walk-in shower) and the other bedroom provides two double beds. There is a full bath in the hallway for guests in the double room, plus the laundry room is available for use during your stay. Guest maximum occupancy is 10.
Level 2 - offers two bedrooms - one king room with full private bath and another room with a king plus two single beds. There is also another full bath in the hallway on this level.
Outdoors: The rear deck is off the kitchen and is perfect for sunsets and overlooks the pool. The pool is open mid-April through mid-October. The pool will be open May-September, $300 heating fee per stay & available by request only. Ground-level patio below the house provides wonderful space for the hot tub, outdoor shower, charcoal BBQ grill, hammocks, hanging daybed, corn hole, picnic table with plenty of space for gathering and games.
4x4 Access: Reaching Carova is part of the adventure - the home is accessed by driving about 9 miles on the beach sand. A properly equipped 4WD vehicle is required. 2WD or standard AWD vehicles cannot make the trip and may become stuck, which can result in towing charges. If anyone in your group won’t have a 4WD vehicle, we’re happy to share nearby paved parking options so you can ride out together. Once at the house, plan for about a 30-minute drive to grocery stores, restaurants, and shopping. We are located in the Northern OBX of NC. Norfolk, VA is the closest airport, approximately 108 miles by car. Map view shows 2 miles to VA border, but the property is only accessible via Rt 12N.
Pet Friendly: Up to 2 dogs are welcome! Pet fee is $250.
Wild Horse Sightings: The famous Corolla wild horses roam freely through Carova and are often seen near the house and on the beach - a memorable part of staying here!
Technical: Wi-Fi is available on every level, with a Smart TV in the great room and each bedroom. A Bluetooth speaker is provided on the main level for your use. Reliable cell service is available via a nearby cell tower at the Carova Fire Station.
We had a fantastic stay. We had everything we needed for cooking meals. Yes, it’s remote, but it’s very peaceful and quiet. We wanted to get away from it all with the family, and we spent hours at both the beach (short walk) and playing in the pool. The home is very clean. We saw horses everyday but one. Thanks for a wonderful stay! Would highly recommend!

My family enjoyed our stay very much at this property in Carova. It was our first time and decided we’d be back before we even departed. The host was exceptional in accurately describing details about the property and surrounding areas. Excellent communication, ease of booking and the checking in/out process was very simple. The property had everything we needed and YES the horses really visited!!

Family Vacation on Carova
Our family vacation at Carova Beach was truly a peaceful paradise. The home had everything we needed and more—beautifully stocked, comfortable, and thoughtfully prepared for guests. It's the perfect place to unplug, relax, and spend meaningful time with family.We will definitely be returning soon and have already shared this gem with our friends and family. This is one of the most accommodating and enjoyable vacation rentals we’ve ever experienced!

Family Getaway
Our family had a wonderful stay! We loved the remoteness of the house and the easy walk to the beach. The heated pool was perfect even though it was a chilly week. We can't wait to return!

Fantastic stay
The hosts communication was great, the house was not only spacious and clean but the kitchen was well stocked with small appliances and such to make cooking a breeze. We had a lot of fun adventuring around the areas and saw wild horses multiple times! We look forward to returning in the future.

Such a Great House!
This is our second time staying at this home. The neighborhood is quiet and the home is the cleanest rental we have ever stayed in. It has a great kitchen with everything you could ever need. The beds and linens are so comfy and we loved having some beach chairs and other beach equipment available to use. The pool and hot tub are lovely and we saw wild horses in both the front and back yard each day. Marty is excellent to deal with and his communication is top notch. Overall, we love this home!
