SANDY PAWS: Free pool heat Sept 15th. Oceanfront, 4x4 elevator!

FREE POOL HEAT Sept 15th. $3545 total for the week.

Drive Your Four-Wheel Drive Vehicle Up the 4x4 Beach to Your Family’s Oceanfront OBX Happy Place!
Extraordinary experiences await your arrival at Sandy Paws, a tranquil, pet-friendly oceanfront retreat with heatable pool, elevator and everything you could possibly need for the ultimate vacation. This home was lovingly designed for your family AND your beloved dog to enjoy fun-filled gatherings on wild and wonderful Carova Beach.

Take in the panoramic views and sea air while watching the famous wild horses grazing peacefully on your dune. Delight in a lingering ocean sunrise, enjoy a seaside picnic with the kids and beloved dog, steal away for a refreshing afternoon dip in the private pool (heated for a fee), sunbathe in a poolside lounge chair with your favorite book, marvel at the sunsets over the sound from your front porch and then be dazzled by the starriest night sky from the serenity of your private spa with LED lighting. At 4,023 square feet, Sandy Paws welcomes your family to its casually gracious spaces as well as generously sized bedrooms with private bathrooms for each.

Bring your groceries and never leave! Three refrigerator/freezers and a chest freezer in the shed mean you don’t have to go back to town to replenish your supplies!! Grill on the propane or charcoal grill while enjoying happy hour at the picnic table and watching the kids in the pool. With its double refrigerator/freezers, double cooktops and double dishwashers, the spacious indoor kitchen accommodates many chefs – with ample room for all.

Use the high-speed internet service to stream on your private device or the large screens in the living areas. A vibrant, surf-themed recreation room offers lounge furniture, a dart set, retro-style refrigerator/freezer and pool table as well as a large screen television (Dish TV cable). When the day is done, restore your body and mind through revitalizing slumber in one of Sandy Paws’ spacious, themed bedrooms.

Whether you seek active adventures, shopping and dining in Corolla, (a 9-mile drive down the beach) a chilled-out vacation or anything in between, make Sandy Paws your ultimate, most memorable vacation. It has everything you need and more.

Sandy Paws is a Perfect Beach Vacation Rental.
The property delivered everything as advertised. It was perfect for my small grand babies, easy walk over the dune to the beach, and an easy walk the pool behind the house. House was spacious and accommodated all of my family of 6 adults, 2 grand babies (41 months and 22 months), and two dogs. I will definitely rent again.

Great family vacation!
We had a great time at Sandy Paws! My husband and children (a 3 and 1 year old) went with my parents and brother. I defintely appreciated all the baby equipment they had available so we didnt have to pack as much. Everything was as expected and the house was great! We did need to some essentials to get through the whole week, like toilet paper, but not unexpected, just something to factor into plans. Good 4 wheel drive cars are definitely needed. My parents had a ford bronco and we have a mazda cx5 and did just fine though. It is about a 40 min drive to get to grocery and shops so something else to consider in plans. Ultimately, everything was as promised and a great stay and we saw plenty of horses right in the front and back yards!
