At Carole's Dream on the beautiful 4x4 beaches of Penny's Hill, experience a beach vacation reminiscent of vintage OBX! Sleep to the sounds of the ocean and enjoy amazing views of the night sky, full of beautiful stars. The whole family including your four-legged family member can enjoy this pet-friendly (dogs only) unique get-a-way. Carole's Dream is the ideal semi-oceanfront retreat located on our Northern 4x4 beaches. This home also features a water filtration system.

Ocean views are plentiful, and the beach is only 350 feet from the house. Carova is renowned for wide, clean beaches; regarded as some of the most beautiful on the Outer Banks. While enjoying your fun in the sun on the beach keep an eye out for dolphins playing in the surf. During your stay at this charming cottage, you will likely see the wild horses grazing on the back roads or in your yard.

Updates for 2024 include new decks, new polywood deck chairs, new sofa cushions, new mattress in the en suite, new TV in the living area, and a TV in the bunk bedroom.

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

It was perfect for us and our dog. Home does show it's age and could use some updating, but we are planning to come back next year. Home was a little hard to find, but we found it. The location on the beach was perfect!

The house is perfect for one small family. Kitchen has everything you need. Master bedroom bed was comfortable and kids had no complaints in the bunk room. New deck and furniture was definitely appreciated. Location, location, location!!!!

Comfortable, Nice house

The house was very nice. Everything was comfortable in the bed and living area. Kitchen was well equipped. The only thing I did not like was the outdoor shower under the house was pretty gloomy and you had to stand in and walk through sand when you got out of it. The location is remote. You have to drive on the beach to get there. It is not easy to get places. No food delivery of anything like that. If that is what you are after, then that is great. It is very safe and quiet.

Great economical house in a great location. Can't get a better location unless it was beachfront. Pictures don't really show the hill on one side, but it's not really a problem to drive in that way and out toward the neighboring house. You can either walk or drive to the beach. Great view! The kitchen was well-equipped and had everything needed for our stay. Master bedroom bed was stiff and not comfortable but the living room furniture was good for a beach house. The internet speed was on the slower side, but I imagine that's because of the location. House had DirecTV and smart TVs, so you could connect to whatever you needed.

Nice location~Needs a little tlc

It nice location, the home just needs a little TLC to make it better. An iron and ironing board would have been great to have. Outdated furniture is a little uncomfortable at times, but the location was great though!

Home is very dated, but ok for the price, great location. Loved the setting and 4×4 beach! The kitchen was ok for what we needed and the beds were comfortable. The couch, chairs and pillows were worn.

This was a nice house. The home had everything we needed. On the 4x4 beach nice and quite. Just be sure you have the right kind of 4 x 4 vehicle to be able to get in and out. We had no issues in our vehicle.
