Meant To Be Your Home Away from Home 5 BR, 4.5 BA Pool Hot Tub Walk to 4X4 Beach
Welcome To "Meant To Be, our Sandcastle by the Sea"
Where it's all about sun on your cheeks and sand on your feet! New bedroom flooring, paint and other updates for the 2023 season.
Located 8 miles up the beach from the end of highway 12 and ACCESSIBLE ONLY BY 4WD (and some AWD vehicles). You will need to drive on the beach in the sand to access the home.
Pull up to "Meant to Be, Our Sandcastle by the Sea", and find two carports with parking on each side. Parking in front of the home is also available. Walking into the entrance to our 3200 square foot home off of the carport, you will find the hallway leading to the game room, which includes a pool table, poker table, area to relax and watch TV, and kitchenette. Down the hall is a queen sized bedroom with an attached bathroom.
Upstairs, you will find 4 bedrooms, three king size bedrooms, two with private baths, one with a semi-private bath, as well as one bunk bed room for the kids. On the top floor you will find the dining room, half bath, screened porch, and ship's watch. You will also find the kitchen on this floor, which is equipped with plentiful kitchenware/appliances as well as two dishwashers. The ship’s watch offers ocean views and looks down to the dining room, great room and kitchen. The great room offers a smart TV, and leads out to the deck. There are decks on both the second and top floors that wrap around the home with plentiful seating including one hammock and two swings.
"Meant To Be" offers WiFi, Direct TV and smart TV's as well as a DVD library. For all of those that need to work during their vacation, there is adequate room and full range WiFi on all floors.
Enjoy our large sized private outdoor in-ground pool, hot tub, wide spacious decks, ocean views, home away from home feel. We also allow our guests use of our 2 seat ocean kayak and our canoe for canal use.
Carova Beach is home to the Corolla Wild Horses and about 200 year round residents. It is one of the last remaining beaches of its kind along the Atlantic Coast. Watching the Wild Horses graze among the sand dunes and gallop the beaches remains ever breathtaking.
Shelling, watching the dolphins frolic along the coast and catching some waves in the beautiful Carolina ocean all offer stress free, relaxing days. Be sure to look up to the star filled Carolina night sky and see the milky-way while relaxing in the hot tub each evening.
Remember to visit False Cape State Park just 2.5 miles north and enjoy the natural beauty of the undisturbed beaches. Try your luck at surf fishing and crabbing or enjoy just sitting and watching the pelicans fish. Spend the day shopping in Timbuck II or in the town of Duck then enjoy one of the many fine restaurants. Climb the Currituck Light House. Take a drive South on Highway 12 to Hatteras Island and Hatteras Lighthouse and enjoy the over 70 miles of undeveloped National Seashore. Continue on to Ocracoke Island via the NC ferry. Visit Roanoke Island (home to Andy Griffith) and the NC Aquarium and Lost Colony.
Enjoy everything our oasis has to offer in Carova Beach!

About the host
Hosted by Melissa and Bill Baun

Bill, myself and our children began vacationing on Carova Beach in 1998. It only took 1 vacation to fall in love. Two years later we purchased a lot and 2 years after that we designed and had our home built. Spending time with family and friends while here at our home on Carova is one of our greatest blessings. This is our one and only rental home. It has been a labor of love. Labor and Love being equal. We had never imagined doing anything like this which is why we say it was "Meant To Be".
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with Carova Beach the very first time we vacationed there. Nothing had ever felt so right, so we closed our eyes and purchased a lot after a couple years of vacationing on Carova and the rest was .....Meant To Be! We are blessed to have the opportunity to share our home with others the way someone once opened their door and allowed us to be a guest at their beautiful beach house.
