******

Get away from it all... escape to Bikini Bottom, our playground by the sea. Accessible only by 4WD, Bikini Bottom is located 9 miles up the beach from the end of Highway 12 and is well appointed to ensure your perfect vacation.

After leaving Highway 12, you will immediately feel your stress slip away as you drive along the beach and experience the serene beauty of the Northern Beaches. Along the way, you'll see natural dune lines decorated with sea oats bending in the offshore breezes.

Once you settle in to our beautiful Bikini Bottom, take a stroll along the gorgeous beach to unwind and collect shells left by the changing tides, watch the dolphins play and the pelicans glide, and if you are lucky get a peek at the wild horses and their families grazing in the dunes or playing along the shore. Return to take advantage of our many ocean facing decks or relax in the second floor hammock to listen to the rhythm of the waves crashing against the sand!

Your days at Bikini Bottom can be spent relaxing at the beach or pool, crabbing or surf fishing, walking for endless miles along the shore, or kayaking in the sound. You can also explore all that the Outer Banks has to offer. Shop at the many unique shopping areas in Corolla and Duck, climb the Corolla Lighthouse, or take a tour of the Historic Corolla Village. Many fine restaurants can also be found in these areas, or pick up some fresh fish and steaks and head back to Bikini Bottom to create your own masterpiece! Our grilling gazebo is a relaxing spot to hang out and enjoy a cold beverage while preparing your dinner by the sea.

The well appointed kitchen is a perfect compliment to the grilling gazebo. Enjoy meals in the dining room, at the bar, or enjoy the evening breeze on the screened porch! The master bedroom is also on the top floor, with a large tiled bathroom and private deck. Additionally, from the top floor you can sneak up even farther to the cozy Ship's Watch to relax, read, or take an afternoon nap! The second floor has another master bedroom with a private bathroom. Also located on the second floor are two additional bedrooms which share a full bathroom. All bedrooms have sliding glass doors which open to large decks. The ground floor has a queen sleep sofa, half bath, kitchenette (with refrigerator, microwave, sink and storage cabinets), television and dvd player. Outside, enjoy the large private swimming pool and hot tub. Also, enjoy our two person kayak to explore the canals and even out to the bay. Launch from the public boat launch just a couple of blocks away!

Enjoy all the amenities that we have provided to help make your vacation a spectacular one, but most of all relax and enjoy the unique beauty of Carova and all it has to offer....we know you'll be back! Note you must be 25 years of age to rent this property and signee must be vacationing on property... no friend groups sorry. Our house really is designed for a family vacation.

Disappointed
There’s a lot with the cleaning service that is lacking. We also only got one parking pass and after contacting the owners no solution to a second pass was relayed. There were items that didn’t work or were broken. There were just several items that stacked up for us that made for a disappointing trip.

Everything the owners stated was 100% accurate. We were 8 adults and 2 children and everyone had a fantastic and relaxing time. Any issues where immediately rectified and there were very few. We absolutely loved it.

This was our second stay in this home. It’s such a wonderful place to stay. Everything was perfect! This house had everything that you could possibly need to ensure a pleasant stay. The kitchen is well equipped with pots/ pans/ silverware, and everything needed to prepare meals. They provide nice chairs on each deck, It’s so relaxing to sit on them especially in the evenings listening to the ocean waves. The beach is a short walk away, we really enjoyed walking to it several times a day. If you just want to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of a busy life and be at a place that you can get some real rest and relaxation this is it! The horses came through the yard everyday, it was so interesting to watch them. Michelle is very quick to respond to any questions that you may have. We had a small issue one day and she was very quick to respond back ensuring that everything was all right. We had a variety of age groups, it was perfect for all of us! Don’t hesitate to stay here, you won’t regret it!

OBX stay
The house was nice and just a block from the beach. The description was very accurate. First time staying up that far north. Only thing I did t like was traveling up and down beach to get to any stores or ice. Because the fire station ice machine was broke. The whole week we were there.

The property itself definitely needs some updates on the outside but inside was cozy. We seen horses daily. It takes no time to drive to the beach. We loved the deck coming off the living room where you have a beautiful view of everything.

It was everything we hoped and more. Weather was beautiful, wild horses were stunning and we spotted them daily. The ocean and the beach were pristine. House had ample space, we enjoyed both the pool and the hot tub. The decks provided amazing views. And we made memories to last a lifetime. We definitely recommend!

2023 family vacation
What a lovely, family-friendly home. You can tell there have been some great memories made here. There's something for everyone to do. We drove down to the beach once daily to bring the beach chairs and set up a tent, but it's definitely not a long walk. My father-in-law is not a huge fan of the beach but he was fishing, grilling, and the pool. He would have kayaked but he recently had knee surgery. We saw wild horses pretty much every day. We went to the fire station to get ice (life-saver!!) and we drove up to where you can find the best seashells....thank you for all the suggestions!

Bucket list
This was a bucket list vacation for us to stay in the OBX and see the wild horses roaming the beach. We had a great time exploring everything Corolla, Duck, and Nags Head had to offer. We watched the most beautiful sunrises in the mornings with the wild horses right there with us. We dug for sand fleas to use as bait for fishing (we didn't catch anything, but the kids had fun). We saw crabs and dolphins and we even saw a guy catch a stingray. We toured the lighthouse, rented a boat and explored the sound in Duck, ate at some great restaurants and hangout at the beach and pool. The house is located in a great spot that's far enough away from the busier part of the beach. As reference, we walked to Virginia beach that was approximately 2 miles. This property has everything you would need to have a great vacation. Sun, beach, pool, and wild horses what more do you need?! We will definitely be back. Thank you for letting us stay at your house.

Very remote
The property is extremely remote. The driving conditions are very rough. Would recommend a truck or jeep, otherwise run the risk of damaging your vehicle. It is a solid 45 minute drive down the beach to get to civilization. Keep in mind you have to time leaving based on high/low tide. No one will deliver anything in this area given the rough terrain. The house could certainly use some updating. The outside is rusted and worn which is not reflected in listing photos. The interior could use a deep cleaning. It was a tight fit with 6 adults and 3 kids. Unfortunately, there was a dead bird under the sofa which we discovered while playing on the floor with our children. After a very long travel day we retired to our bedrooms only to discover none of the beds were made. The pool is nice but is not heated so we could not use it much. Unfortunately, toilet paper and paper towels were not provided. We did feel confined to the house especially on days when weather was bad. The owner did communicate during our stay and had maintenance come to the property to fix water pressure. Additionally, we requested more towels which were provided. Maintenance also informed us not to use water between 1-5 am as sewage water will flow through, which was not communicated by owner. I think you can find significantly better value and amenities at another location.
