Nice Place

Have stayed in several places in Carova, this is one of our favorites. The house was very clean and had ample space and amenities. Communication from the owner was great. Plenty of privacy and is on the south side of Carova, so it's closer to the 4x4 access. Would stay here again.

Best Vacation Ever!!

This was seriously the best vacation we have ever had. Our hosts were sweet and answered any questions we had. They thought of everything that we could need to make our stay comfortable. The house was beautiful and well furnished. The beach was beautiful and we got to see the horses while driving back to the house one day. We are looking forward to staying here again in the future! Thank you both for your wonderful hospitality!

Wonderful Vacation!

Beautiful location! The house is amazing. The cleanest VRBO house I have stayed at, spotless. Lots of extras in the house in case you forget something. Beds are comfortable. The host are very friendly and super helpful. I texted a few questions and got immediate responses. They even went by the grocery store to help with a problem I had with a delivery order. We really enjoyed our vacation here.

Another Magical Week!

This is our second year staying at this beautiful and private beach cottage. We returned because it is now one of our favorite places for vacation. Our hosts Jim and Sue’s home is very clean, organized and has everything we need for our stay. The cottage is very comfortable with pretty décor through out. Communication with our hosts was prompt and friendly when we had a question. The location of the beach cottage is perfect with beach views and easy access to the beach. We love Carova for the exciting drives on the beach and the beautiful wild horses! We will definitely be back again to this very special place!

Refreshing

This lovely home is a peaceful haven from the typical busyness of a summer beach vacation. Everything was just as pictured. Driving on the beach was such a fun adventure and having wild horses visit the yard made for treasured memories. Although the upstairs air conditioning had just broken the day we arrived, the owners were quick to have the unit replaced. In the meantime, they had window units brought in to keep things cool, so we never experienced any discomfort. The ac repairman was very considerate as well. Response times were quick and all questions immediately answered by the owners. The home is picturesque, cozy, exceptionally clean, and beautifully decorated. The beds are soft, the living room is wonderfully comfortable, and the two screened-in porches are especially pleasant places to eat or relax. There's actually not a bad seat inside or outside the house! The owners have thought of everything imaginable: well-stocked pantry and supplies for every conceivable need. We highly recommend this house and would absolutely visit again!

Relaxing, Fun, and Adventure

Perfect stay at this lovely house in Carova Beach. We loved the deck safely providing a place for our golden doodle to play, kitchen with most everything needed to make delicious meals, comfy furniture and beds, nice deck overlooking the ocean and beautiful sunrises, horses in the yard, and our first experience watching baby sea turtles heading to the ocean. What a beautiful time we have had in a beautiful house. Thank you!!!

Relaxing beach vacation

The house was wonderful. We dont travel often because I am super nervous about accommodations being clean. This house was exceptionally clean. I was very pleased. The house had everything we needed in the kitchen for our week long stay. We loved that there was beach chairs and an umbrella for our use. Beds were comfortable. We saw some horses in the yard but over all we only saw about 10 the entire week. We were hoping the baby turtles were going to make their appearance while we were there but the nest about a mile down the beach just wasnt quite ready before we left.(should be the next day or so we were told) We ventured back to the pavement almost every evening. Beach driving was a first for us and is definitely an experience. air down. My 4runner did great at 20PSIWe would definitely recommend this home. The entire rental process was smooth as was check in /out. The owners clearly take pride in their little slice of heaven at the beach. FYI just a tip for planning purposes… The charcoal grill is on the smaller side so just dont plan to grill the whole meal like you would be able to on a gas grill or blackstone.

We had a great stay at Shore Relaxing! The house was clean and just as described. Plenty of space for our family. It had all the necessary amenities and was comfortable. It was just a short walk to the beach but we often drove to transport coolers, chairs, etc. We loved seeing the horses right in our driveway! We would absolutely stay here again!!

Beautiful and Peaceful Property

We loved our stay here. The home was beautiful, well maintained, and very clean. Check in/out was easy. The surrounding property is lush and private. Very family and dog friendly. 4x4 is of course a must, as it’s a hike from the pavement down the beach. Grocery/food options are nonexistent nearby but the seclusion is what makes this area special.

First time in Corolla

The house and location was amazing. The beach drive was long. It’s definitely not easy going back and forth to town it is not an easy drive. The house itself was great and had everything we needed. We were disappointed with the grill so we did not end up grilling out. Overall the house and location were perfect for us! We will definitely be back

Perfect beach getaway

We loved our stay at the property! Everything was extremely clean and this was a well-stocked home with excellent amenities and everything you need for a small or large group. It was a cooler time of year, but we still enjoyed beach walks and drives around where we would see the horses. The owners provided clear instructions and their info on airing down for beach access was essential!

Secluded Retreat

First off, I want to give a huge Thank You to the host's of Shore Relaxing!! The name of this property should set the tone for what is to come, on a vacation. The drive out on the 4 × 4 beach is beautiful, especially when we were greeted by the wild horses. The house is amazing & has this old, world charm about it but with the modern needs. )mThe feel of the home is open & airy when you walk in the door. It was stocked with everything we needed to cook & clean up afterwards, including a washer & dryer. The only thing we had to buy is our groceries. My family loved this place & all the memories that we made while there!!!

Thumbs Up

Honestly if these owners could run all of the rentals, that would be great! This place was cleaner than clean, almost every single thing was thought of and the furnishings are lovely. The addition of the antique pieces with the beachy items, just stunning. Most everything is here if you forget it, you have a back up. There are chairs and umbrella… things you must pack sunscreen, and towels. For those with Littles, the gates are amazing. You can actually sit down because they latch and close on every place, a child or dog may stray. Really great space. Intentional and much appreciated.
