About this property
Newly built oceanside home situated among the dunes and wild horses in Carova!
Tortuga is a gorgeous, newly built (2023), 6 bedroom oceanside home on the sandy shores of Swan Beach, a remote area of the northern Outer Banks. With so many thoughtful amenities, Tortuga is destined to be your family's new favorite vacation getaway!
Enjoy long days at the secluded beach, only accessible by 4WD vehicle. Wild horses roam free and can often be seen along the beach and among the dunes. Be sure to keep your distance though; they are wild, and there is an ordinance to remain at least 50 feet from them.
Back at the beach house, take advantage of breathtaking ocean views from the wraparound decks, and soak in your own 12.7'x30' private pool or the bubbling hot tub. The pool area is perfectly suited for lounging and entertaining, with ample chairs, picnic tables and a grill. Pool heat is available for $400/week. There is also an outdoor shower for rinsing off the sand and salt before heading inside for rest and relaxation.
Inside, you'll find beautifully furnished living spaces and a modern and functional kitchen with stainless steel appliances and quartz countertops. Ample seating for all meals and watching family viewing of your favorite show or movie. The living and dining areas also feature breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean, and with very little light pollution, the night skies are incredible! Step out onto the wide ocean-facing decks and enjoy the serenity.
Tortuga offers 6 bedrooms, including 4 king en suites, one of which has an electric fireplace. In addition to a queen bedroom, there is a bedroom with 2 bunks beds, perfect for younger family members. Kids and kids at heart can enjoy the shuffleboard or foosball games located on the ground level. And don’t forget your furry family member, as Tortuga is also pet-friendly!
This home is only accessible with a 4-wheel drive vehicle. All wheel drive vehicles are not capable of navigating the soft sand and off road beach driving conditions. To find out more about 4x4 access and driving on the beach visit www.visitcurrituck.com/visitor-info/beach-driving-tips
Parking passes are required to park on the beach from April 29th to October 7th.
As Carova is a bit off the beaten path, these homes are mostly run on well water. As such, there tends to be some staining that can accumulate over time. The pool at this property does show some staining from well water but is cleaned and chemically adjusted for each rental guest.
Layout:
Ground Level: Rec room, kitchenette, bedroom with 2 bunk beds, full bath.
Mid Level: 3 king en suites with private baths, queen bedroom, full hall bath, washer and dryer.
Top Level: King en suite with private bath, living area, kitchen, dining area, and half bath.
