House was pet friendly and on the canal. The home was easy to access and was well stocked for a vacation. Only concerns were mosquitoes at night but once you follow the recommendations of the homeowner, there were no problems. Highly recommend staying at this home if you’re looking for a quiet, relaxing vacation!

Fantastic Waterfront Stay!We had an amazing time at this Corolla Beach property. Check-in was super easy, the home was spotless, and everything inside felt high-end and thoughtfully designed. The kitchen and bathrooms were especially impressive. Loved waking up to the water views — truly a relaxing and luxurious stay. Highly recommend!

Had an amazing time! The place was a little smaller than I originally thought it’d be but the outdoor living space more than made up for it! Despite the limited indoor space we were still very comfortable! We were a little worried about driving on the beach for the first time but we had no issues in our Subaru Outback (make sure to air down). We saw the wild horses every day when going to/from beach. Would definitely stay again!

Charming Cottage

Our stay here was excellent! We enjoyed using the kayaks, trying a little fishing, and having a bonfire. The location of the cottage was perfect for spending the day on beach and then coming back to relax in the evening.

Off-the-beaten-path beach vacation

Our family of 4 had a wonderful time at this charming and comfortable cottage. Driving on the beach was intimidating at first, but it added to the adventure and fun. We also loved using the kayaks and paddle boards to explore the canals and sound. The cottage was very clean and had everything we needed. If you’re looking for a unique way to experience the outer banks, without the crowds and traffic, this is it! We will definitely be back.

The property was amazing and just as advertised. We came for the wild horses and were not disappointed as they appeared multiple times each day. Driving down the beach road was just so much fun to experience. It was the perfect get away for our family of four. Places to rest and relax, near the beach, and water activities in the back.

This house was everything I hoped for. It was so well thought out, small, but charming and completely appointed with everything you need. Clean, cute, comfortable. And the host is so quick to respond anytime we had a question. We definitely want to return. We were there 4 days and did not even get to do all of the things we would like to. The horses came by almost every day. I would recommend this Cozy cottage off the beaten path anytime to anyone.

Relaxing retreat

This little piece of heaven was very relaxing. They had every amenity I could have wanted. The adventurous drive on the beach was new a different for us. Staying here we got to see horses right in the canal. Such a magical stay.

Amazing house for our stay in Carova

We absolutely loved our stay at Dew Drop Inn. The house is adorably decorated, comfy and cozy, and had everything we needed and more- a well-stocked kitchen, cleaning supplies, grilling supplies, beach gear, and more. The outdoor areas were great with swings, fire pit, and seating area. The wrap around deck was probably my favorite and was our dog’s favorite too. We saw horses in the yard every day. We really enjoyed our stay and the house was the perfect place to relax after spending the day on the beach. My only regret is not booking it for longer!! Thank you, Jeff and Sherry!!

Anniversary getaway

This is our second time staying here! And we will be booking again for September. We absolutely love it here, the peace, seclusion, 4x4 adventures and nature is everything our soul needs to reboot. The house has everything you need and makes you feel like you are at home. We enjoyed sitting on the deck and watching the River otters play. My husband caught some bass and crabs in the canal outback. The horses are a beautiful bonus watching them in the wild.

Peacful Stay

From the egrets roosting at senset across the water to wild horses grazing in the yard, this place connects you with nature. Quick access to the sound and coves to kayak, and a quick drive to the beach. Exploring the surrounding areas in your 4x4 is a treat. It was a great place to disconnect from the rest of the world and be present in your getaway. Hosts were above and beyond. Nearly all aspects of our stay exceeded our expectations.
