Gorgeous vacation rental in the secluded area of Carova NC!

If you're searching for an unforgettable 4x4 home with a list of amenities that will make you never want to leave the OBX, The Blue Whale is the one for you and your family! Enjoy the ocean view from the private deck off the top level living area or the peaceful surroundings of this unique area. Located just a short 3 miles up the beach, this provides the convenience of being close to groceries, restaurants, and other attractions on the paved road.

Nestled only a short drive from the ocean, this well-appointed, four-bedroom retreat offers endless views of the majestic wildlife and rest and relaxation you deserve. Experience the Outer Banks the way people did years ago. No roads, no distractions, no complications - just miles of gorgeous coastline. Relax, unwind and reconnect with loved ones while vacationing at The Blue Whale.

A few of the many amenities to enjoy in this home are the wireless internet access for those who need to stay connected, spacious decks with incredible views, an open kitchen with everything you could ever need, along with a recreation room for those who would like to have a friendly game of pool, 2 refrigerators and a wet bar to keep your family entertained. The private pool with a covered area with picnic table is a great gathering place for the entire family.

This four-wheel-drive access vacation home is a short walk to the pristine northern beaches (approximately 680 feet) of Carova and Swan Beach. These areas are renowned for their wide, clean beaches - some of the most beautiful on the OBX. Keep an eye out for wild horses grazing or dolphins and whales playing in the waves!

Please contact the Corolla rental office for 4x4 parking passes. They must be signed out at the Corolla rental office. You must have the pass to park on the beach from April 29th to October 7th.

This home is only accessible with a 4-wheel drive vehicle. All-wheel drive vehicles are not capable of navigating the soft sand and off-road beach driving conditions. To find out more about 4x4 access and driving on the beach visit www.visitcurrituck.com/visitor-info/beach-driving-tips

Horse Hot Spot
The property was great. It was a bit more trouble to get there than we originally thought it would be, but the drive is beautiful along the beach. Just be sure you are prepared for beach driving for several miles. Beware that there are a TON of wild horse tours that go by this property daily. We counted 1 or more at least every 10-15 mins from 8-5 just about every day. It gets annoying. If you want to see the wild horses, they were at this property every day. Unfortunately, they prevented us from leaving and returning multiple times. My daughter and grandson were outside and one unexpectedly walked right up to them. We didn't know what to do because of the 50ft rule. Within 30 seconds, a tour came along and the guide was screaming, yelling and taking a video with threats to report them to the sheriff's department. My grandson is 5 years old! It was an awful experience that ruined our trip. Not Sun Realty's fault at all. My point is, we were not prepared for the negative aspects of the horse presence and definitely didn't appreciate the tours.
