This is a premium location for rest, relaxation and play! Adjacent to the False Cape State Park, you can enjoy vacationing where the wild horses roam. This vacation retreat was constructed in a vintage maritime theme to transport you back to the golden days of THE BEACH HOUSE! Features include a retro-styled kitchen with all modern amenities including two full-size refrigerators, nautical lighting, antique furnishings and historical memorabilia. Antique architectural elements are used throughout the home, including hand-carved teak furniture pieces, as well as wooden floors, walls, and ceiling vaults! Each of the seven bedrooms features a unique nautical theme. Directly oceanfront, this home is perched atop the rolling dunes of Carova Beach and steps away from the secluded walk-in nature preserve at False Cape State Park. This is a vacation escape from the ordinary!
Approximately 10 miles up the beach.

Guest recommendations
"Amazing home. Every detail was accounted for. Cozy for the cooler nights. Perfect accessibility for the warm days. Can't wait for our next stay."
"This is our favorite house in ten trips to the OBX. Already rebooked for next year. The house really has everything you need. Wonderful location. Master bedroom is on a floor by itself which is a really nice feature. Beautiful nautical decor. Wonderful house!"
"Location, pool, condition of house and the view."
"The home is super well equipped, particularly the kitchen and overall electronics."
"Beautiful inside. Great decor. Proximity to beach. Labeled kitchen cabinets."
"We truly love Gull Cottage and the seclusion of northern Carova beach! The homeowners are meticulous with organization, ensuring that we are well-equipped to have a stress-free stay. We look forward to our vacation every year and appreciate all the thoughtful details, thank you!"
"Wonderful accommodations and always a peaceful stay!"
"We really enjoyed our stay at Gull Cottage and have added it to our list for a repeat visit!"
"Gull Cottage is Carova perfection. Classy and almost like a maritime museum with such decor and taste. Well appointed and perfection in all ways. Best site on the beach, after six stays between us and my sister renting. It is our home away from home!"
"Beautiful home as always. Truly appreciated all the repairs and upgrades since we stayed last year. Best home in our nine trips to the OBX. Rebooked for next year!"
"The location"
"The house was perfect as usual, thank you"
"We loved the location and everything about the house. It’s obvious the owners really care about the comfort of the renters. The kitchen was stocked far beyond what we have seen in OBX rentals over the last 20 years of coming to the 4x4 Beach. In the heat of the summer, the Dune Deck made for a perfect location in the shade to relax with a book, see and hear the ocean and enjoy the horses that came by several times during the week."
"Reviews of this home said well equipped kitchen. We doubted it and carried a ton of stuff from our kitchen. It was unnecessary. Just bring personal items and consumables. This isn’t a rental house, it’s a family home and is equipped for the task. It truly felt like someone’s home and not a generic built to rent home. Very nicely decorated with tidbits about the outer banks covering the home’s walls. We have already booked this home again and are planning to stay at least once a year."
"Well stocked kitchen. Very comfortable!"
"We loved every thing about the home. We had horses visit us, and the view was beautiful. It was definitely our home away from home for the week."
"Gull Cottage is our a little slice of paradise that we look forward to every year… Spending time here is one of the most peaceful and relaxing places for us. We appreciate the attention to detail and can certainly tell how much pride the owners take in their home."
"Gull Cottage is the best! I love this house and will never stay in another, it feels like coming home when we arrive. Happy to see cushions on the outside chairs this year- big improvement."
