This was a wonderful experience! The house was clean and the amenities were incredible. There was a brief issue where they forgot to include towels upon check-in, but Laura hand delivered them to us within the hour. Exceptional service! The only real complaint I had was that the volleyball court needed some tlc. It was a bit overgrown. But that is just nitpicking. Will absolutely stay here again and I recommend it to anyone who wants to just get away!

We love the Outer Banks and this house was perfect for our family of 12. Response to any questions were addressed immediately. Only problem is we couldn’t use horseshoes or volleyball because of so many sticky weeds. My Grandaughter ran out there with no shoes and had a ton of thorns in her feet. It needs attention.

The thing I like about carova cottages is the customer service experience. It's one person. Your not calling a call center. They take care of any issues with common sense solutions. It's refreshing. The home was very clean. I have rented in OBX for many years and this is the first year we didn't reclean anything when we arrived. Overall great experience

Our home away from home! We’re always excited to arrive & always sad to leave. A beautiful, clean home that is well stocked and super convenient to the beach, just over the dune. The kitchen is equipped with everything you can think of, along with beach chairs, sand toys, canopies, and games for the rainy days that is also provided. We love sitting on the porches watching the horses in the yard, grilling out around the pool, and late nights playing pool or watching movies in the theatre room. The owner, as always, did an amazing job updating with new furniture, paint, décor and other home improvements. I look forward to more memories being made at the Solstice by the Sea with our family and friends! M. Anderson

A property worth rebooking
This property is on its way to being an amazing family friendly listing. Our vacation taught us a lot about the things that property owners deal with. However without a great management company the renter can be left with a lot of hiccups. Laura and David at Carova Cottages are the most amazing people to have had the luxury to work with. They are literally willing to do whatever they can to help out even if it’s dropping off extra propane at 1030 at night. Their help, ease, and efficiency of getting in touch with made every question easy to ask and quick to be answered. The horses are visible on any deck and sometimes the pool. You’ll have amazing sunrises, sunsets, and rain storms in the crows nest and screen patio. The kiddie pool was prestine and perfect for our 7/8 yo. We even sat in it. Perfect amount of privacy and yard for quiet fun. Make sure you turn all the lights off at night: To see the stars and rid the side of the house of bugs. The bedrooms are great and bathrooms are good. Kitchen had everything we needed and then some. Overall it’s an amazing place to stay. Laura will help you out with anything but you shouldn’t need much! She made our vacation what it was! Already tons of pool stuff, air compressor, and an ice machine that just needs to be hooked up to water. Enjoy everything! It goes by too fast!

Reviewer Comments:
It was my family, 6 adults & 3 kids. The house was extremely clean & with many extra curricular activities. Games, puzzles, pool table, air hockey etc.. Kitchen was loaded with all kinds off cooking gadgets. 2 refrigerators was really nice. Gas grill was fine but the charcoal grill was in rough shape. Need a new one. The pool was used alot, along with the kiddie pool. Hot tub some. The large dining table was really nice for family suppers. The basement was great for the adults after the kids were in bed. Summary,the best rental I have had since we started going to Carova over 15 years ago. Highly recommended for big families. Now. Carova Cottages & Laura. There is a reason why I always rent with them for the past few stays. Everything was in order, easy booking & always there when you need help. I had a vehicle problem which involved a replacement part by a mechanic at the house. Laura worked with me,calmed me down really,and I was able to get my truck repaired & gone before the next family came in. Laura went above & beyond to work with me through my difficult situation. Carova Cottages & Solstice by the Sea. Great combination!!

We had a great vacation at Solstice by the Sea. After two years of missed vacations, it was so nice to finally get together again. The kids loved the heated pool. The adults continued on to the hot tub and then the sauna for complete and utter relaxation! Meals were easy in the well-stocked kitchen with room enough for plenty of chefs! The theater room was a big draw for the multiplayer gaming as well as some late-night movies! There were enough spaces for people to disappear if they needed some quiet, but level three is large enough for everyone to gather with ease. We took the two littles to the beach. The 2-year-old had never played in waves or seen sand crabs! The late OCT weather was still warm enough for splashing in the surf and finding treasures on the beach. We all agreed that Solstice by the Sea provided a GREAT vacation. We are already making plans for next year! :-)

Great stay!
Such a great house! We especially loved the size of the home (great for large groups) and remote location. The owner/manager provided clear, concise email communication and a contactless check in/out. We appreciated having 2 dishwashers, 2 washer/dryer units, and used the large water filter daily. The location is remote and we loved seeing the wild horses daily!
We agree with other reviews that the property could use some upgrades. For example, the decking shows heavy signs of wear and tear from age and weather. We wanted to use the volleyball court but the weeds/grass were too overgrown. Overall, we had a lovely week and would consider staying here again!

This house is beautiful AND has everything you need for your large group to stay! The kitchen is so well stocked with appliances and dishes - you just need the food! The setup is great and there is plenty of room for everyone to hang out together or spread out to different parts of the house. The bottom floor game room and theater room is awesome and we hung out there a lot! The pool deck is perfect and there is plenty of room outdoors for everyone. The beds are very comfortable and the house was very clean. We are definitely going to return. You can tell how much love was put into making this house a very comfortable rental property! Laura is great to work with, as always... she and David go out of their way to make sure their renters are happy and taken care of!

This house was perfect for our stay. It was very clean and the kitchen is stocked with everything you will need for the week including a crock pot and blender. The views from the house were great and we saw horses in the yard all through the week! The beach was very close and it was beautiful! This was our first time in OBX and we are already talking about coming back next year! Hot tub and pool were also nice after a day at the beach. We would definitely recommend this house to others. You will not be disappointed! Laura was great and answered all my questions VERY quickly! Thanks for everything! We had a great time!!!!

Great location and the house was well stocked from the kitchen to activities to do. However this house needs a serious deep cleaning. It's very dirty. I u derstand the bugs stuck to the outside of thr house but cobwebs every where inside is not acceptable. The beds were very dusty as if a rag is never used on them. The sheets were cleaned but thst is all I can say. Outside by the pool the step between the kiddie pool and adult pool needs fixed very badly. The house also has a smell to it of mold as if it has gotten wet and by thr looks of thr walls and woodwork it has been through a storm. We actually left a day early do to the cleanliness. The whole family just wasn't comfortable. It would be very beneficial to really give this house a deep deep cleaning and inbetween guests have either more people to clean or a longer time frame this is a big house. Laura was a very nice person and answered all my questions when I called and discussed the cleanliness however it really does need alot of work. It's hard to relax when your uncomfortable where ever you go within the house.

Pure Relaxation
We had another great year at Carova! This was our first time staying at this property and it did not disappoint. I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of “extras” they had for guests! I ended up bringing stuff I didn’t need too (normally it’s stuff properties don’t have). I lug along a big air compressor to blow up pool and beach toys (they had it) I lug along my margarita machine (they had it). Books, games (they had it). Cornhole boards (they had them) A griddle (they had it). That’s on top of the awesome amenities… ping pong, pool, fooseball and air hockey! Our kids had a blast!
This was our first time not staying oceanfront and we didn’t mind the change. The crows nest gave you an awesome view for the sunrises (better than being oceanfront) The drive/walk to the beach access was right down the street and very convenient.
A few things to keep in mind… the beach chairs could use some TLC or bring your own, the spiders inside the home were kinda a nuisance, we couldn’t get the propane grill to work (but the griddle came through for the win) but the charcoal grill was great. All the bedrooms were amazing but felt the shared bathrooms were small since 3-4 people would share it.
Last but not least… this one is for the moms!!! Dual Laundry and 2 dishwashers in the main kitchen were a DREAM! (Plus the basement kitchen had a dishwasher as well)
We’d definitely stay here again! Thank you for sharing your property with us!

Best equipped house
….we’ve ever stayed at. Well suited to accommodate a large group of all ages. All enjoyed the wild horses showing up in the front and back yards and on the beach. Must have 4 wheel drive vehicles to access but the ride along the beach is an experience you will not forget. Short walk or ride to the beach. You can park next to your tent or umbrella.
