Property Description
We invite you to put your toes in the sand and a beverage in your hand...Horse Inn Around is our little oasis where we escape to relax and enjoy a secluded beach vacation. We visit the area as often as we can and love it for it's peaceful laid back, away from it all atmosphere. Enjoy your complimentary (Horse Inn Around bottle of wine) while soaking in the serene hot tub under the twinkling stars.
Almost everything is new including: hot tub, wet bar and a fully stocked kitchen. There is a washer and dryer. Even a high chair for the little one.
A 4WD VEHICLE IS A MUST TO GET TO THIS PROPERTY. Seriously, You're going to drive 10 miles up the beach and LOVE EVERY SECOND OF IT!
**Linens (bedding and towels) can be provided for an additional fee or bring your own. Please advise at the time of booking.
**Pets welcome for an additional fee (more fun to bring with you and definitely most cost effective than boarding).
The location is a remote, wooded lot, where the horses love to roam and take shade from the sun. While private, you are just a short two-minute drive to the beach, where you can chose your favorite beach front parking spot and relax, look for sea shell treasures, maybe spot a school of dolphins or watch the horses play. Beach parking passes included.
Note: In Carova, there is a large dune that separates houses from the beachfront, so most vacationers choose to drive to the beach regardless if 50 feet or 1100 feet from the beach. It's part of the charm of Carova -one of the only beaches left in the USA that you can still drive and park on. No need to pack and unpack all of your beech stuff, all week! Why carry the cooler when your 4 wheel drive can do it for you.
You will see horses and more stars than we could all ever count!

After 40 years of OBX vacations, we decided life’s too short, not 1 week, but 2! Horse Inn Around was the perfect choice for our group of 7 adults. The home was spotless, welcoming, and beautifully stocked. The welcome basket and bottle of wine were such thoughtful touches! We spent every day on the beach, and this home was the perfect retreat after long, sandy days. We had plenty of space to gather in the evenings, cook big family meals, and relax. The kitchen had everything we needed, and the living room was cozy with ample seating. A couple of suggestions: an extra fridge downstairs for drinks would be helpful (we brought an ice maker for our coolers), and an outdoor shower would be a great OBX classic touch. Rene and Dan were incredible hosts, responsive, kind, and proactive. Rene called before check-in to give us a heads-up about the washer & dryer needed replaced and kept us updated throughout the week. We saw the wild horses on the property twice and loved how the house felt tucked away, yet we could still hear the ocean. Whether you’re a group of adults or a family with kids, this home is a wonderful fit. The game room downstairs is perfect for families! Thank you, Rene & Dan, for sharing your home with us. It was exactly the vacation we needed!

Everything was exactly how it was described! It's a beautiful home and a great location. Horses were seen! The beach ride to the house wasn't that great, so definitely get what you need before you go. Overall we would stay again!

Summer OBX June 2025
We had another great beach vacation on the 4x4 in the OBX! Weather was picture perfect. The ocean was clear and warm. Our hosts were very quick to respond to any questions we had, as well as quick to answer our call during our stay with a question. House was exactly as advertised.

Great Remote Beach Property
If you like a remote beach experience, this property is a great option. We set up on the beach, stayed all day, and regularly saw the wild horses on the dunes. The house was clean, comfortable, and we all slept well each night. We also enjoyed the hot tub!

Great house at the beach
Wonderful OBX experience with a cool house that allows you to park on the beach. We saw horses multiple times and the house had everything we needed. The lack of linens (sheets and towels) was odd, we don’t have some of the sheets for those size beds. But the place is remote so help is hard to find regarding cleaning and laundry so we get it. We travel a lot and it was just an unexpected quirk that got resolved for a fee. Just make sure you read the fine print. Overall a lovely home with great hosts and good communication. Would recommend.
