North Star
V52135Follow the “North Star” to Outer Banks vacation bliss! Your getaway begins the moment you roll down your windows and feel that salty breeze as you travel to the home. Perched on the unique 4x4 beach in Carova, accessible only by four-wheel-drive vehicles, the location feels delightfully wild and wonderfully remote. Here, sandy tracks replace paved streets, the Corolla Wild Horses roam freely through your neighborhood, and the Atlantic Ocean becomes your nearby playground. Best of all, this home is pet friendly, so your furry pals can join in on the adventure.
Step inside and you’ll immediately notice the peaceful, coastal aesthetic that defines this beach house. Soft, tranquil tones, weathered wood textures, and light-filled spaces blend to create a calming atmosphere, like a quiet breath after a long walk on the shore. The open layout invites relaxation and connection, making it ideal for multi-generational families, friends traveling together, or anyone craving a seaside escape.
The great room on the home’s top floor is a welcoming space where comfortable seating and abundant natural light encourage group gatherings, afternoon card games, and long conversations. The living area offers a cozy area for reading a favorite book, watching a movie, or curling up with your pup after a day in the surf. Play a hand of cards or put together a puzzle at the small table. The nearby wet bar with refrigerator keeps refreshments within arm’s reach. The kitchen is thoughtfully designed with plenty of counter space and modern appliances, perfect for putting together beach picnics, family dinners, or brewing early morning coffee. Just off the kitchen, the dining area provides a natural place to enjoy shared meals, toast to another day in paradise, or plan your next adventure. A half bathroom is also included on the third floor. Step outside onto the decks and feel the ocean breeze as you sip your morning coffee or watch the stars come out at night. The deck offers both open and covered sections, allowing you to choose sunshine or shade.
Downstairs on the ground floor, the rec room adds another layer of fun to your stay, offering an ideal refuge for games, movies, or friendly competition at the pool table after a sun-soaked day. When you’re ready to cool off or unwind, your private pool and hot tub beckon, perfect for splashing or lounging in the sunshine, or soaking under the night sky.
Bedrooms are designed for both comfort and convenience. Three ensuite bedrooms on the second floor each offer a private bathroom and access to the deck. An additional ensuite bedroom, with a private bathroom, is included on the ground floor. The final bedroom and a half bathroom are also available on the lowest level of the home.
Nearby, the beach awaits, whether you’re walking down in flip flops or packing the car to tailgate right on the sand for a full day of sun and surf. With the Corolla Wild Horses wandering the dunes nearby and the rhythm of the ocean always in the background, “North Star” offers a truly unforgettable Outer Banks experience where every moment feels like a celebration of coastal living!
Approximately 8.0 miles up the beach.

Location
4x4 Location
4x4 Beach Area
At the northern end of Highway 12, where the pavement ends and the sand begins, the 4x4 beaches are one of the most remote and unspoiled stretches of the Outer Banks — home to wild Colonial Spanish Mustangs and miles of undeveloped coastline.
Community
Carova Beach
Situated on the wonderfully unique 4x4 Beaches, Carova Beach offers vacationing friends and families the opportunity to enjoy time together on the coast without the distractions of a bustling neighborhood environment. A four-wheel drive vehicle is needed to navigate the beaches where Carova Beach rental homes are located. The northern-most community of the 4x4 Beaches, Carova Beach is approximately 8 miles from the beach access ramp and stretches north for about 3 miles to the Virginia border. While there are no roads, restaurants, or shops in Carova Beach, what you will find is a breathtakingly beautiful & vast shoreline, roaming wild horses and a positively ideal vacation environment.
