You are so right, Finding Sandity IS great for families. The fact that the beach is RIGHT THERE helps with the inevitable trip back to the house for something that is suddenly needed. The layout of the house is great too, with a few tucked away spaces for privacy or mayhem! lol
So glad you enjoyed your stay. Please visit again!
Very spacious and each room had door to the porch which was great. The screen porch on the side was perfect to get away from the cool breeze but still able to view the ocean. The location was perfect with a great view of the ocean and area. We were able to watch the horses from the deck and even in the pool. Check in and out was very easy and hosts were great.

Our family had a wonderful time making memories and seeing our first grandchild experience the ocean for the first time. This house was perfect and accommodated all our needs.
This was an excellent place to stay. Home was clean unbelievable views just amazing. If I had a negative it would be a soundbar for the TV is needed. Also 4x4 is highly necessary in order to get to property you will travel on beach and sand. Don't forget to Air Down your tires or you will get stuck. That's the good & bad!! you will love it!!

The 4x4 beach is a great adventure! I hope you didn't find out personally about getting stuck. ;-)
I'll mention the soundbar to the owners. They are always improving!
You really nailed it, the best part is the VIEWS! It never ceases to amaze me how much ocean and beach you see from the living room at Finding Sanity. It's so much fun watching the beach activity! Please come again!
We really enjoyed our stay with our entire family and little children. It provided a wonderful place with a mix of nature, adventure, start gazing, and just relaxation. Definitely recommended!

We're so glad you enjoyed your stay at Finding Sandity. So funny that you figured out the best way to vacation, with a mix of nature, adventure, star gazing, and relaxation. I think that covers all the bases! :-) So glad you are returning. We'll see you next year!
We really enjoyed our stay at this beach house! Being right on the beach was great and very secluded which made for a peaceful stay. We saw wild horses everyday and some came right up to the fence around the pool. The house was very clean and felt like our home away from home! Will plan on visiting again very soon :)

We had a wonderful stay at Sandity. My only complaints are there wasn't a second refrigerator like most beach houses (for drinks, etc) and that we couldn't see the 4th of July fireworks from the deck because the house Nextdoor blocked the view. However, when the AC went out on the second floor, the rental company was REALLY FAST to bring portable units until the service man could get there in 48 hours...communication was wonderful and I highly recommend this company again!
Finding Sandity was a great vacation location for our family. Close to the beach, beautiful view, and we really enjoyed the pool and hot tub too. Driving 3 miles on the beach was a cool experience and caused us to enjoy the home and beach more. We look forward to vacationing in the Outer Banks again soon.

Thanks so much for your review. You're right, Finding Sandity has the perfect location. Just close enough to town with a GREAT view. The new decks make it easy to spend a nice lazy day watching the sunrise, the wave action, and the people on the beach. Hope you will come again!
Beautiful views of the ocean and right on the beach! It was wonderful to hear the waves from our room and watch the sunrise over the ocean from our deck. Brand new pool. We had a great time and would definitely recommend!

THANKS. Finding Sandity IS perfectly situated for hearing the ocean. And those VIEWS! Even from the pool, there are such lovely views of the ocean. :-).
We had a wonderful time. The kids enjoyed the pool and the beach. House was large enough so everyone had their own space.

Everything was great. Loved the location to the beach. Loved the pool and hot tub. Only recommendation, need to improve the driveway, was difficult even in a 4WD vehicle. Thank you, had a great week.

THANKS so much for your review. Finding Sandity has the premier spot on the beach!! Not too far from the hard road and a short walk to the beach from the house!! That tall driveway is a double edged sword. Kinda tough to navigate, (definitely need a 4x4!!) but it creates that "top of the world" feeling inside the house!! Shifting sand makes any road improvements tough, as evidenced by the "roads" throughout Carova. But I will certainly let the owner know your suggestion. Hope you will come visit again!

Thanks so much!!! We love our returning guests!! Finding Sandity is a great house for relaxing since all you see is the big blue ocean!! It's hard to be anything but relaxed with that view! See you next year!
Beautiful wild area. 4 x 4 beaches were a thrill! Loved the wild horses! House was very comfortable and a plus to have our own private pool and hot tub! Pure relaxation with beauty all around! So nice to be off a crowded beach!

My family and I stayed for a week to end our summer before the kids go back to school. The property was well maintained, had everything we needed and communication with the host was wonderful. Everything was exactly as described. The pool was such a great feature because one day the beach was just too hot to be comfortable and have the kids play. There were plenty of games and movies to also keep the kids entertained. We had an overall amazing experience at this property.

Thanks so much for your nice review. The blue ocean, the smell of suntan lotion, hot sand and cool breezes just represent summer at it's finest. And when the beach is really HOT, then you get to cool off in the pool. It's the dog days of summer!
We hope you and your family will come again!!

Thank for your review!! Nice house and yes the owners continue to update. They bought the house about 3 years ago and have installed the pool, installed new floors, upgraded the exterior decks and some of the windows and doors. The plans are endless, but things take time. So glad you enjoyed your stay.
We had a great stay! The house was just as listed . Enjoyed the pool and the hot tub. Had hours of entertainment watching people not k owing how to drive in the sand . We would return

THANKS so much for your review. This beach is one of the more relaxing places for seclusion and quiet. No highways or even one lane roads!! ;-) There is always a truly exquisite night sky and almost always a stunning sunrise. Storms can make traveling tricky, but it's worth it for the spectacular waves and splendor of Mother Nature. The horses and other local wildlife round out the vacation. Carova MAKES you slow down, relax, watch and listen. :-)

We rented Finding Sandity for our yearly family vacation. The house was very well equipped and a perfect location on the 4x4 beach. We would highly recommend this house. The 4x4 vehicle was a must for this stay and lots of fun to drive on the beach.

Finding Sandity's location IS perfect!! Close enough to town that a grocery run isn't that big of a deal AND on a high lot so you don't even have to leave the living room to see the waves crashing on the beach. LOVELY views from every vantage point! The best part of the vacation is right outside the window, but inside won't disappoint either. The owners have been making it perfect ever since they bought the house, with improvements every year. Finding Sandity leaves you 100% relaxed and refreshed.
