This is our second time renting this home and we have to say we love it. The location on Carova is perfect if you want to see more horses than people. lol. The owner is an excellent communicator and generally great guy. The home is well maintained and comes complete with any appliance or kitchen gadget you can think of. WiFi is also excellent. We will be back!

It was a wonderful vacation. We’ve been to the Outer Banks many times and this was the first time on the four-wheel-drive Corolla Beach. It was great. It was such a fun experience riding on the beach. The home was beautiful and well stocked. I cooked several meals and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook and bake. Great views. Horses were nearby everyday which was so much fun. The home is in a more secluded area so a lot of the beach traffic is found south of the home. Pool and hot tub clean and ready to go. And the hosts could not have been more lovely. Would definitely recommend this home and will be back.

Stunning Property on Adventurous 4x4 Beach!

This beach house is Stunning! Spacious and very clean with a super comfy large couch and beds. The views from this home are amazing and every evening, the wild horses came right up to the house. We loved that the house is on the 4x4 beach! We had a blast driving on the beach every day. We could walk right out the back door to the beach which was never crowded near this house. The heated pool was great with lounge chairs and a hot tub for the late nights. We loved that it had two out door showers! This house is fully stocked, especially the kitchen! It was like being right at home with anything and everything I needed! We will 100% be back! If you’re on the fence about which beach house to pick….this is it!

Relaxing getaway

Just got back from a one week stay at this beautiful property. It was two families who just wanted a week away at the beach and pool and we were not disapointed. The house, beach, pool and grounds were all as described and beyond. The host was amazing with communication and answered any of our needs that arose. I will definitely be back for future vacations.

Great stay!

My family and I had an amazing time at this house! The house has a great open layout and everything was clean. The walk to the beach was short and the views were awesome from the house. We’d definitely stay here again! The drive to the house requires you to drive on the beach and it can get pretty bumpy, having an off road vehicle of some kind is definitely the best way to get to the house. If you have a vehicle that can get there, this is the place to stay!

The Perfect Getaway

If you are looking for a place to relax, center, and reflect on the most important things in life—family, nature, jaw-dropping sunrises, and all of the other blessings we tend to take for granted, Running on Faith is for you! The home is beautiful, clean, comfortable, and stocked with all of the amenities you need. The best part is the owner—responsive, thoughtful, caring, and just…chill. This was one of the most memorable family vacations we have had!

Memories were made

My wife and I had a great time, the house was everything that we hoped it would be. The beach access, the sun rises were amazing. We loved everything about this outstanding property, and yes we will be back again. Oh and the wild horses are in the yard every day, we returned one day to find 4 of them sleeping in the shade under the cover of the carport. Amazing!

Beautiful Clean Home!

This home is a wonderful beach house with everything you could need in the kitchen to prepare all meals which is very important to us. There is lots of hang out space for our family of 7 where everyone had their own space to relax. The pool area was awesome and close proximity to the beach. The house was decorated nicely, updated and very clean. We didn't have the best weather but our family with 5 children enjoyed our time together here! It was our first time driving on the beach so definitely do your homework on that before attempting that drive!! We would definitely stay here again!

Sunrises, Sunsets and Beautifully Furnished

This was a fantastic place to spend my daughter’s spring break in the off season, with incredible direct beach access, unforgettable sunrises and sunsets and a beautifully furnished home with pieces I would seek out “in real life.” It was also spotlessly clean and smelled fresh as soon as you walked in, which I’ve found to be rare for beach rentals. The owner was very communicative, helpful and responsive, which we appreciated. We loved every minute and it genuinely felt like a comfortable, peaceful home away from home—we won’t soon forget our time here, and if you book you won’t, either!

Outstanding!

We have rented many times in the OBX and this was one the best! If you can handle the 4x4 drive to get there, you will love this property. You can walk from the house to the pool then over the dune and onto the beach! We also saw horses everyday - including a visit into our carport! The owner was also super friendly and a great communicator.

Beautiful home with all the amenities

Our group of friends had a wonderful stay at Tim’s house in Carova. Tim was more than helpful and extremely responsive. The house is absolutely beautiful and so well maintained. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need. The beds are all comfortable, and the appointments in the house have a perfect feel of beach chic. Access to the beach is right over the dune. The hot tub and pool were lovely too. I highly recommend a stay in Tim’s home.

This home is absolutely beautiful. We checked in with no issues. Within the first several hours the blower on the middle floor went out. The owner immediately addressed the issue and had window units installed. The pool is truly lovely. The location is awesome.

Sunrise over the ocean and Wild Horses to start your day

Beatiful home with many amenities. Fully equipped kitchen. A lot of space to be on your own or hang out together. Views are spectacular. Tim was very easy to communicate with and very helpful. Make sure you rent a 4x4 if you are getting a rental. It’s a really interesting experience. Definitely a great getaway. Plan ahead to prepare for drives to go places or food shop on the way. The drive is eight miles on the 4x4 beach so there are no local restaurants or stores until you get to the main road. Would definitely recommend if this is what you are looking for!

Great Overall Value and A must Try if you never have been to the 4x4 zone.

Beautiful house. Great location. Host was responsive. Definitely would visit again. My only feedback would be that there needs to be a second fridge or separate beverage fridge. We traveled in group of 4 and it was tight mainly due to beverage storage. On a side note (general 4x4 zone tip), be very, very careful traveling to the property, we did over $1800 damage to the underside of our vehicle due to being loaded down (This would apply to any house in the 4x4 zone requiring beach travel). Stay on the hard pack as much as possible and personally I wouldn't drive in others tracks as many suggest. The problem wasn't getting stuck in the sand, it was bottoming out due to ground clearance. With that as stated I would definitely revisit the house, the location is amazing.

About the host

Hosted by Tim Burress

I grew up in Chatham, NJ and spent my summers on Long Beach Island in Harvey Cedars. I have lived in Boston, NY, and now Richmond, VA with my two fantastic girls Ava and Grace and our dog Beau.

Why they chose this property

Running on Faith has been more than just a house; it has been a blessing, a place of fond memories, and a source of great joy for all who have shared our home. When a fire took our beloved home in 2013, we were devastated but thankful that no one was hurt. Strangely, the guests who were there had decided to leave early, and we were delayed in our arrival on the eve of the fire. Running on Faith has blessed everyone who has entered its doors, and we are thrilled to rebuild and share our home once again.

What makes this property unique

For nearly 22 years many guests have shared what they love about our home and perhaps it is best expressed by one note I received several years ago that simply said 'Your home is so easy and comforting we just love returning each year' It truly makes me feel grateful to share our home with all of you.
