Extraordinary OBX experience!
If you're looking to experience the OBX, this is the perfect place for that! Alan's place is well situated; secluded but easy to reach and have all the commodity for all your needs. We were a group of three family (14 people) and there were enough space for everybody. The nearby kayak ride into the marsh and the beach (and beach ride) were extraordinary! The play room with the pool table, ping-pong table and babyfoot game was really apreciated and a great way to keep the children occupied after we came back from the beach. The beach itself was very fun and not far (about three minutes car ride). Overall I rate Alan's place as a five stars vacation destination.

Amazing vacation!
We had a great experience from the initial booking and throughout our stay. Great responsiveness to questions we had, and the property was amazing and very clean. The area was very cool and we saw the horses every day, many times in the yard. Highly recommend booking this property!

Great views, but could have been cleaner
This house was great for our needs this year. The first floor has a beautiful built deck with a hot tub, bar stools and a outdoor couch with views of the lagoon. The wild horses frequented our yard very often and it was such an experience! Inside was a fully equipped game room with an additional fridge/freezer. Every room in the house had a full sized bathroom which was a major perk. The upstairs had a very open concept, and very nice decor touches. The kitchen was big enough for all of us to gather, with the living room visible for our small children to play. There were a few downsides. The sheets were visibly soiled. The property manager did provide us with a new set when he came to the house. The beds were not comfortable, ranging from very hard, to caving in the middle. The door to the screened in area was torn off and on the floor. We informed the property manager, and he said he hoped it would be fixed by the Wednesday of our stay. Although, it was never addressed for the length of our stay. We had to prop if closed shut with different objects so we could enjoy the true screened in room. The outside decks on all three floors didn’t look like they’ve been cleaned. We’ve stayed in Carova before, so we are aware of the smell of the water, and the tinted colors. Although, the smell was stronger than we’ve experienced before. All in all, it was a gorgeous house on a quiet lagoon with great amenities.

Perfect set up!
First time staying on the sound side and it was amazing to be able to fish off the dock and go kayaking. The house is set up perfectly for large families. The game room, hot tub and multiple decks were so nice to have for additional areas to hang out. If there is anything to complain about would be the smell of the faucet water but all the other things made up for that issue!

Nice stay
Our family had a nice time at this property. It was clean upon arrival and the pictures didn’t do it justice. We enjoyed fishing in the canal and the nice screened in porch. The house had all you could need. The ice machine was a nice perk. The water situation leaves a bit to be desired, BUT to be expected out there to some degree. Would not deter us from booking again. Thank you for another great week in Carova!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this part of Carova beach with the unique canal system, where beautiful wild mustangs roam free. We decided to build our own dream home.
