Every bedroom is a master suite with a private bathroom (tub and shower with near instant hot water in each bathroom), pillow-top mattresses (excluding bunks), amazing views, and private deck access.

Driving Information
Four-wheel drive vehicle required to access Dream’s End.
It's best to arrive before dark because the beach is more difficult to navigate at night. We recommend lowering your tire pressure to 15-20 psi, so be sure to bring a tire pressure gauge along. Tires can be reinflated at any of the area gas stations or the free air stations at the Historic Corolla Park.

Check area tide charts prior to arrival. Low tide is ideal for beach driving. Follow all posted speed limits (35 mph or 15 mph when within 300 feet of pedestrians or wild horses). Drive on the hard-packed sand near the edge of the water or close to the dunes. Leave the middle of the beach available for parked vehicles. Drivers must be 16 years of age and possess a valid driver’s license. ATVs are not permitted by guests (residents only).

Parking passes are now REQUIRED on Currituck County beaches between April 30th and October 1st. These are only needed to park on the beach. Driving on the beach and parking at the house do not require passes.

As rental owners in the 4WD area, we will receive 2 beach parking permits for our guests to use. We can't guarantee that these will make it through the season without being lost or taken home by guests. We will do our best to replace them, but it may take some time. It is crucial that you as guests leave these permits at the house on your departure for the upcoming guests.

Currituck County does not allow personal motorized watercraft on the ocean. However, jet skis and personal motorboats are allowed on the Currituck Sound. For more information regarding Currituck County's rules and regulations, please contact the Currituck County Chamber of Commerce.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING CANCELLATIONS
If NC or Currituck County closes access to the beach house due to Covid-19 restrictions, we will happily reschedule your trip or provide refunds if needed.
If you need to cancel for other reasons, please consult with your travel insurance. At your request, we will do our best to re-rent your week for you so as to allow for a refund. Fees may apply. Please contact us if you have any specific questions or concerns.

Great OBX house & location
1st - communication with the hosts is perfect. Both before our trip & during, we felt well prepared for our stay in the home & area. The owners were very thoughtful & we appreciated their offer with potential bad weather in the area. 2nd - the house was fantastic for our family vacation. The location on the 4x4 beach is in a great location on the sand beach - not too far up that driving to Corolla or further south was an inconvenience, yet far enough to get a true feel of a 4x4 beach vacation. The pool was a must for children - times when too windy or surf too rough at the beach 3rd Definitely spoiled by the daily visits of 2-5 wild horses! Highly recommend!

Great OBX 4X4 Property
The house and property are great! Fantastic views of the dunes and ocean. Walk to the beach. Take a dip in the pool. Great hot tub. Lots of space for our family of 8. The owner was very responsive and helpful. Just note, the beach is in the 4X4 area. It is busy all day and not a tranquil beach environment. Great week in the OBX!

Slice of heaven
The house was beautiful. Very spacious and loved each bedroom having it's own bathroom. Fully stocked (more than any other rental). The McGowan's were great to deal with, from day one to check out. I was very pleased. An A ++. Highly recommend.

About the host

Hosted by Seamus McGowan

Host profile image
We are Seamus and Melinda McGowan, owners of Dream's End. We currently live in the Dallas, Texas area. We have three daughters and three granddaughters, and a grandson. Our youngest daughter, Caiti, often assists us with communicating with our guests at Dream’s End. Prior to living in Texas, we lived in Oregon, and in Virginia. Melinda was born and raised in Newport News, VA and she grew up taking summer vacations in the OBX. We still love to take trips to enjoy these beautiful beaches.

Why they chose this property

Over the years, we have taken many trips out to the OBX, but typically within the Nags Head/Kill Devil Hills area. When looking for potential vacation rentals, we came across this one in an area we were not as familiar with, 4x4 Corolla. Hesitant at first, we drove down the sand admiring the soft waves to our right. The view from Dream’s End is one that we had only seen in our dreams! The peace and serenity that comes along with this area is unmatched, making us fall in love with it. We are very excited for this opportunity and are looking forward to ensuring that our guests have wonderful experiences at Dream's End

What makes this property unique

Dream's End is located in Carova's unique 4x4 area where the wild horses roam. Carova is an eleven mile stretch of beach that begins at the northern terminus of NC Route 12 and extends to the North Carolina/Virginia state line. The name Carova is actually a contraction of Carolina and Virginia. Carova is subdivided into beaches, one of which is Swan Beach where Dream's End is located.


The views from this house are breathtaking! Take a short walk over the dune and you are at the beach, or sit on the deck and watch the dolphins jumping out of the waves. You may even see a whale spouting a stream of water as he swims by. Thunderstorms are exceptional at the beach with lightning brightening up the dark night skies. On a clear night you can sit in the hot tub and gaze at endless stars. If you are an early riser, sip your coffee while watching the sunrise from the front deck. In the evening enjoy the incredible sunsets from the back deck.


The wild horses come by nearly every day to snack on the grasses growing around the house. There are times when you see them racing across the dunes, or out by the water’s edge. This area isn't for the faint of heart though. There aren't any paved roads or sidewalks in the 4wd area called Carova. It is a wild and free area. The highway is the beach. Sand roads lead to the cottages. Your vacation here will be an experience like no other. Rejuvenate, relax and renew at Dream's End. Staying in the 4wd area should be on everyone's Bucket List!!
