Fun location, disappointing experience
Carova is a very cool location to visit. Getting there definitely requires 4WD but it's worth it. The remoteness of the area, the quiet of the beaches, and seeing the horses and traces of other wildlife were all very cool. Unfortunately the home had not been cleaned at all when we arrived. Beds were not made and linens were dirty from previous guests. It appeared no one had been in the home in a long time, perhaps months, as there was mold in the coffee machine and sand over all the floors. The water was not turned on when we arrived and I had to go and find the water valve to turn on the water in the home. We notified the owner immediately upon our arrival but did not hear back from the for about 24 hours. Cleaners were sent after we had been at the home for 36 hours, 1 day before we were to leave. Once cleaned, the home was fine but this very much tainted our experience.

Great week, property is exactly as described. Lots of space, nice kitchen. Easy stroll to the beach. Great shopping nearby, we brought a lot of food with us, wouldn’t do that next time. Wild horses visited property a couple of times. All in all great vacation. One word of warning, it is 9.1 miles of beach driving to get to property, if you don’t have a 4 wheel drive you will not make it. All wheel drive doesn’t do it. Prepare well and this is a great place. I would bring your own pots and pans, ones in house are a little worn.

Such a fun experience!
I am thankful they reiterated that we needed a 4x4 vehicle etc because that was definitely necessary, with that said, it made for such an unforgettable experience. It was so cool driving right on the beach and the home itself was in great condition. It smelled good, was super clean and bright. I thought the goodie bag at the beginning was a nice touch with many things provided such as extra blankets, pillows, some starter materials such as paper towels, toilet paper, paper plates etc. Also some beach supplies was available in the closet. In comparison to the first house we stayed at during the first week of our visit and then this house, this home exceeded our expectations and stood out. Thank you for a great experience and stay!
