Wonderful

House, beach and hostess all wonderful! Walls of windows gave beautiful views of the beach and great light throughout. Six adults two kids(4 & 2) had room to roam indoors on a rainy day. Petra could not have been more responsive to our requests—even had extra towels delivered on a moment’s notice. House spotless on arrival and all amenities top shelf. Saw horses nearly every day. One caveat: synchronize your access and egress with low tide and count on a half hour beach drive each way.

Awesome house at an awesome place

This house was awesome! We’ve been coming to OBX for years and this was the best place we’ve stayed. The house was perfect with tons of amenities. The kitchen is well appointed and tons of extras. We will be coming back for sure and this house is where we will be staying!

Paradise on the Beach

Our family of 8 adults travelled to OBX and stayed at the beautiful Seashine. The house was spectacular, all the bedrooms having an en suite bath. The kitchen and dining area was large and we could all cook together easily. The views were inspiring both for sunrises, sunsets and the occasional horse sighting. The pool and beach access was right there and easily accessible. You really do need to plan and arrive at low tide because you are driving on the beach for about 10 miles. All in all it was a beautiful, relaxing time spent with family. Would 100% recommend our host and their fabulous house.

Wonderful Time In Carova Beach!

Last week we had the privilege of having a week of vacation at The Seashine. Accommodations were great! Host responsive!! Highly recommend you checking into this property. Our first OBX experience but I'm positive not the last. This property has great access to beach and is set up to make your vacation time enjoyable! You won't be disappointed 🙂

Love, love, love.

This property was an absolute dream. The house was gorgeous and had every amenity you could think of. The location and the view of the ocean was breathtaking. We saw dolphins and the horses came right up to the house on more than one occasion! Even the beach driving was a fun experience that I already miss. Will happily book at the Seashine in the years to come.

Perfect Beach Vacation Spot!

The location and house were perfect. The host was easy to work with and very responsive to all questions. The house had everything we needed for a relaxing week at the beach. The beds were comfy, the kitchen was well-equipped, and there was plenty of deck seating for relaxing and eating. The reclining couches and chairs in the den were well-used during our nightly movie marathons. There is a lovely walkway with steps down to the beach, including a large gazebo and seating. My ten-year-old loved all the pool and beach toys that were available. There are tons of beach chairs and umbrellas for use as well. You cannot begin to imagine the expansive ocean views, daily dolphin sightings, or the occasional wild horses grazing in the yard (or taking a peek inside the downstairs window). This was our first time driving on a 4x4 beach. We came prepared for the worst-case scenario of getting stuck in the sand, but we did fine. It was quite an adventure, and my husband had a ball doing it. We saw so many wild horses up in the dunes or down at the water - too cool. It's a perfect beach vacation spot, and I highly recommend it.

Great property

This is a great property and we had an awesome time. The house is as advertised. Access to the beach was unique as other properties nearby didn't have this as easily. Seeing the horses was fun and unique. Driving on the beach was exciting the first time but it resulted in a need for planning as trips into town took 45 minutes (one way) - you need 4x4 drive. If you're not adventurous you would not want to stay at this property.

Carova Beach Vacation

Our stay at The Seashine in Carova Beach was much much better than expected! This is a lovely home in a beautiful and secluded area of the Outer Banks. We saw the wild Spanish Mustangs every day of our visit which is an amazing experience. We also saw dolphins and the shelling was outstanding. The Seashine was incredibly clean and inviting, and Petra was so attentive to any question. We are already looking forward to another visit in the future! Thank you Petra for sharing your beautiful home with us. You are a wonderful host!

Stunning home!

Absolutely gorgeous home on the ocean! This home was perfect for a family gathering for my dad's 85th birthday. On the cold rainy day no one minded being "stuck" inside b/c the house is so large and open with huge windows looking right over the ocean. My dad had a blast driving the 10 miles in on the sand-a lifetime first!

Lovely home on the oceanfront with a great layout. Wonderful windows all along the east and west sides provide great views of the beach and morning sunrises and evening sunsets. The wild horses walk right along the beach in front of the house. Enjoyed the amenities and features of the home. The nooks were perfect for reading or playing games.

Perfection

We have been staying at various properties in the Outer Banks for about a decade. This property is the best we have ever stayed at. The location on the beach if phenomenal, the amenities in the house are expansive, the communication from the owner was timely and accurate and the house was in immaculate condition. The only thing to be prepared for is the 45-minute drive from the nearest grocery store to the house -- and to make sure you have a 4WD not AWD vehicle. One more tip: the free air fill-up station is FAST and helpful for deflating/inflating tires before driving on the beach. Thank you for the stay. We will be back!!

About the host

Hosted by Petra Fist

Host profile image
I was born and raised in Bulgaria during the Cold War. I attended a French Lyceum for 5 years and later studied sociology at the University of Sofia. I had to immigrate to Madrid, Spain to seek political asylum. After residing in Madrid for several years, I moved to the U.S. I earned a Ph.D. in Sociology--my dissertation was on the American Dream and Bulgarian immigrants. I then pursued a Juris Doctorate and earned a J.D. degree. I currently practice federal litigation/immigration law. My family, including our pets, and I reside alternately in Wilmington, Delaware and the Seashine.

Why they chose this property

The Seashine is a magical place in a secluded area, away from hectic traffic and noise. Wild horses graze the dunes and many times wander around the front yard in the morning . You can marvel at their grace and beauty as you enjoy your morning coffee from the swing bench on the front porch. Or gaze in awe at the dolphins jumping out of the ocean water as you sit down to a meal with your family. Scores of magnificent pelicans often pass right in front of your eyes. The Seashine is the best place to fully unwind and take a break with your closest loved ones.

What makes this property unique

The Seashine is perched upon a high, pristine dune. It is one of the few properties in the Outer Banks that have direct access to the beach with a private gazebo right on the shore. Every deck has open views that extend towards the ocean or the sound area. The home has a very comfortable layout. It is open, spacious and professionally decorated. Its cathedral ceilings and high, church-like arched windows lend unparallel views of the Atlantic Ocean and the beautiful sound area.
The Seashine is also very close to several state and federally protected areas. You can walk to the Virginia border and explore the wild dune area behind the horse fence. There is a Geocaching app that guides you to find the remnants of a prior fisherman's village in that area or search for burried treasures from very old times. Shell collection in this area is another favorite pastime.
