Carova Beach Cottage | Green Wave Cottage @Carova Beach NC 4x4 Artsy Nature Private Retreat 🌊 🐴 Hottub

3 Bedroom Cottage in Carova Beach, Corolla

This charming retreat is surrounded by live oaks, whimsical art, wild horses, and ocean waves. Carova Beach is a truly special refuge from our busy world-- a perfect place to reconnect with yourself and loved ones. The 3 bedroom house is on a dead-end sandy road with no neighbors in sight, just a 3 min drive from the beach. There is nothing better than relaxing on the hottub here, surrounded by live oak trees in complete privacy listening to the sound of the ocean under brilliant starry pinpricks of light in the dark sky. There's original, playful art in every room, perfect inspiration for finishing up that novel I know you have in you! A 4WD (or AWD with high clearance) vehicle is needed to drive up to the house.
The house is lovingly decorated with playful ocean paintings and a cute surfer vibe. There are three bedrooms: the master Rainbow bedroom has a king bed, the second Wave bedroom has a double bed in it, and the third Mermaid bedroom has two twins set up as a bunkbed. There are two bathrooms in the house. One is in the hall between the Mermaid room and the Wave room, while the other is situated inside the master Rainbow bedroom.
The house is located in Carova Beach, a sparely developed area of coastal North Carolina. Separated from the rest of Corolla by nature and wildlife preserves, Carova Beach is accessible only by driving on the beach for about 20 minutes. Carova Beach is a time capsule, and still feels exactly like it did in the 1980s, with sand roads and wild horses. It's a perfect location for people who want to reconnect with nature and take a break from operating in a world built on concrete. The house is super private, and is nestled on the sound side of North Swan Beach, but has amenities to help you stay connected to the outside world, like reliable Brightspeed Internet, WiFi, multiple Roku TVs, and a smart speaker.
You may see wild horses in the maritime forest at the house or in the dunes on your way to and from the beach. There are often horses hanging out around the house (sometime taking a nap in the driveway!). The beach itself is a quick 10 min walk or a 3 minute drive away from the house and parking on the beach is permitted. A beach parking pass (necessary in the high season) is provided with the house rental.
The trip up to the house is a fun and easy adventure. Before you start your drive down the beach off the pavement, air down your tires to about 15 or 20 psi. This is important to do even if you have a 4 x 4 that you think will not get stuck, as it helps avoid making large ruts on the beach. Time your trip as close to low tide as possible, stay in tire tracks when possible, and go slowly, keeping a wide distance from horses/people.
The Carova Beach boat ramp is a five minute drive from the house and there is a small playground there. If you'd like to go out to dinner or to the grocery store or climb the Currituck Lighthouse, the drive back down to the pavement takes about 20 to 25 minutes. It's best to stock up on everything you think you might need on the way up at the Harris Teeter or Food Lion in Corolla! It is a Robinson Crusoe mini adventure, and its advised to keep an eye on the tide and to also get travel insurance if an unexpected storm/nor'easter comes up. We very rarely lose power at the house, but if so, the electric well cannot pump water, so you may wish to bring bottled water with you. Please bring your own beach chairs and beach towels too. There is no pool or Hottub. Starter paper towels, toilet paper, dishwashing detergent, and laundry detergent are provided, but will only last a day or two, so you will need to bring your own if you are staying for longer.
We try to be as environmentally conscious as possible, so separation of trash and recyclables is encouraged. There is a regular coffee pot, a teat kettle for the stove, and a smart Keurig machine. A reusable Keurig filter is supplied if you would like to bring your own ground coffee. (Regular K cups work too and can be recycled!)
You are welcome to bring your dog to enjoy the beach with you, and there is a fenced in area of the yard. Please be respectful of the rules for the dog, and do not allow them on any of the furniture or beds.

Summary: We loved our stay at Green Wave Cottage! The property and house are beautiful. The house is surrounded by wildlife and trees which adds to the feeling of peaceful solitude. You do need a 4WD vehicle to get there (we did not feel like AWD would cut it) but for us this added to the adventure. Erin was responsive and communicative and the house was well-kept, cozy, clean, and lovely. We didn’t see horses in the yard but did see them on the surrounding side roads. We would definitely return - this house is a gem. We loved Carova, which feels magical and wild. It’s a special place.
