Fantastic Vacation

Our stay at Witches Bikini was absolutely perfect. The location - just a quick walk to the beach. The views - absolutely amazing. The horses - walked right on the carport and hung out for about 30 minutes. The communication with Laura and David was extremely easy. The pool - perfect for family members that wanted some downtime from the beach. The basement was great for games - darts and shuffleboard, spent a lot of time there at night. Our family of 8 easily sat around the kitchen table at night as well, playing board games. Looking forward to our next vacation here.

Great house for family

The house was amazing. There were 8 of us and there was plenty of room when we wanted to be together and plenty of room for everyone to have some down time. Great location! 4x4 beach is the way to go!!! The pool was our after beach haven to just relax. We got to see the horses up close and everyone loves that.

Super Family Vacation at Witches Bikini!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house had everything we needed to stay there all week with our children and grandchildren with the pool, the recreation room with shuffle board table, corn hole in the carport, multiple decks with rockers, seating areas and a hammock all with a view of the ocean and wild horses, the giant dining table for meals and a kitchen with all we needed, two large refrigerators and two smaller ones, lots and lots of seating area space, bedroom space, six bathrooms and even a telescope! The owner had decorated it in charming ocean themed ways. All was fresh and clean. Laura James of Carova Cottages was super helpful and accessible for questions both before and during our trip. The best thing about Witches Bikini even with all its wonderful features is the location. It is a on the Carolla 4X4 beach but not a long drive. It is adjacent to a walkway to use to walk over a small sand dune and be at the ocean. We never needed to drive to the beach and could come and go easily. The wild horses were somewhere within sight every day and sometimes right near the house. It was such a joy to see them. No other houses blocked the beautiful ocean view. It was an amazing experience to stay at Witches Bikini with our family! We also hired Outer Banks Seafood Boil to come one evening and cook a traditional boil for us which was a new experience. That was a real treat we recommend!

Amazing home, amazing views

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It truly is an amazing home. The views are top notch. The house is roomy and no one felt as though they were on top of one another and the four full baths and two half baths help a whole lot! The beds are comfortable. The kitchen is fully stocked for cooking your meals. I have recommended the house to friends already. Laura and David are great with communication and assisting with whatever one may need before arrival and while at the house. The 4x4 beach, if one has never been, may seem intimidating but it is not and packing your beach gear in a pickup truck bed to the beach is much better than hauling it by hand! It is a full sized swimming pool, when most beach houses are not. I totally recommend this beach house, if you couldn't tell!!

Perfect Family Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were extremely excited for this vacation and as first timers for an outer banks family vacation, this house didnt disappoint. They directions yo the house were easy to follow and the house was perfectly situated front row behind the dunes. The house itself had all the amenities and little odds and ends some vacation rental homes dont have. We loved star gazing at night and could see the milkyway as clearly as I ever have. The sun rise and sun sets were by far my favorite and the kids loved seeing the wild horses. In the afternoon when we were tired of the sand, we relaxed by the pool. I would absolutely come back to this place.

House is amazing

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house is one of the best properties we have stayed at in OBX in all the years we have been coming here. The kitchen was so well stocked with appliances and the whole house was very clean. We appreciated all the large king bedrooms and the top living room/open concept kitchen was perfect. The bar is a cool aspect as well. We could not have asked for a better house. We only wish it wasn't on the 4x4 beach as our only downside of the trip was the beach itself. We were unaware that cars drive down below beach-goers near the water. With 5 small children in our family this was difficult to make sure they didn't dart out in front of cars on their way to the water. This is an issue with the 4x4 beach only though and no reflection of the house. The communication from the rental company was great and the owners also have their numbers listed in case of a problem. If the 4x4 beach works for you then you will want to stay in this house!

Never wanted to leave

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is our second year vacationing in the OBX on the 4x4 beach. Our house last year was right down the street from this house. Witches Bikini and Carova cottages exceeded our expectations. The house was perfect for our group, the layout was perfect with the bar/ hangout are being on the first floor, bedrooms being on the Second and 3rd. The location and Views were amazing. On our drive home I called Laura from Carova to book it again for next year. The only thing I would change was the grilling situation, the charcoal grill was a pain and the largest pan that was provided the coating was peeling off so we had to use smaller pans to cook with. I mean really.... These aren’t complaints, and it didn’t effect our stay that much, if at all. We loved this house, and our vacation. Can’t wait to come back.

Vaca @ Witches bikini on Corova beach

Overall very happy with property and location, that was fantastic. The cleanliness of the house was a little disappointing. I guess when they clean they do not move it look under furniture, upstairs master bedroom, my wife dropped her phone and it went under the dresser when she went to grab it, there was tissues under there along with hair ties, look like someone dropped a have dozen pills, and some qtips, there was some hair in the sink and mold in the corner of the shower Middle floor twin bedroom When we slide one of the beds against the wall same types of items, luckily no pills as this was our little grandsons room. When we arrived the pool was a little green but the property manager ‘Laura’ and the pool guys were great !! They came the same day and stopped by the next few days a couple times a day until the pool was clear those guys were awesome!! Laura (property manager) was also fantastic, very responsive every time I reached out to her, also helpful and quick to reply Honestly other than the issue with the cleaning we all had a great time. We had four generations of family there and it was an awesome trip !

Absolutely fantastic beach house

This house was fantastic. The property was very clean, and Laura at Carova Cottages was very prompt and easy to work with. The house has a deck for every circumstance. Decks outside the bedroom, decks in the sun, deck in the shade, and a screened in area. You can walk over a dune to the beach, so while they gave you passes to park there it’s not necessarily needed. If not a beach person the pool was awesome, especially for the kiddos. We did see the wild horses, a treat for all. Definitely bring a 4WD vehicle. There were many who had all wheel or just a car and got stuck. We came in with a Jeep Wrangler. The house itself has a great kitchen, stocked with pots, pans, cooking utensils. The house also had movies and games for the kiddos. The adults enjoyed the bar and shuffleboard every night, of course. We had two families with us, about 10 people. Never felt crowded and people had enough space to retreat after a long day in the sun. Honestly it was a fantastic house, great views, and everything we needed. One improvement might be for them to upgrade the grill. However we were able to cook everything we wanted with what was provided. Thank you again for a fantastic vacation house!

11 Years of Family Fun at Carova Beach

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Witches Bikini is the perfect sized house for our family. Location is excellent as well as the house amenities. This if the 4th time renting this house and every time the home owners have made improvements. This year new shower enclosures for all the 2nd level bathrooms and changed out bunk beds to queen size. Kids loved the new beds. So much fun in the party room having shuffle board tournaments and karaoke. Horses every day (except when it was storming). Love the 4x4 beach. And Laura and James at Carova Cottages are great! Quick to respond and just a pleasure to deal with. Also, the house was the cleanest we've seen upon arrival. Hoping to be back again for year 12 in OBX.
