Swan Beach is convenient for families with children and older folks because it is not necessary to walk to the beach.

Wild horses roam the area as well as fox, deer, and lots of waterfowl on the sound.

Two 4x4 parking passes are included with each 4x4 vacation home with a $50 cash deposit (refunded when passes are returned). Passes can be picked up at our Corolla Office (1023 Ocean Trail) during business hours. If more than two passes are needed, there are a limited number of additional available parking passes each week that can be purchased from Currituck County (https://currituckcountync.ticketspice.com/currituckbeachparking) The cost for a 4x4 parking pass is $50 and can be purchased online, but has to be picked up in person at the Corolla Visitor Center (500 Hunt Club Drive). Please double check Corolla Visitor Center business hours when planning your trip.

Not thrilled, wouldn't stay again

There were a lot of little things wrong here that really added up. Firstly, none of the beds are queens, as listed. They are fulls. And they're old, worn out fulls at that. You'll feel every spring and constantly dip into the middle. Linens were also of poor quality. There's no popcorn maker in the house, which is shown clearly in the pictures. Our kids were disappointed to see that it wasn't actually there. The smoke detectors were all either disconnected or malfunctioning, going off randomly. This house had no hand soap, dish soap, dishwasher soap, or toilet paper. The kitchen was by far the worst though. There was absolutely no organization, random kitchen tools were just thrown into every cabinet. 2 knife blocks, but no full set of knives. Just 17 poor quality knives stored randomly. No real set of glasses or cups, just a mishmash of things that have been left over the years. No set of pots and pans, again just a completely random assortment of garbage quality, scratched up teflon pans with half-melted plastic spatulas. There was one decent stainless steel pan and spatula that we used. They must have been accidently left by a previous renter. The house itself was nice enough though. Good living space, open kitchen/dining/living area. Very nice set of binoculars and a small telescope, lots of board games. Short walk to the beach. But we will definitely be booking a new house for next year.

Dolphin Watch - A Great Place to Stay

This property was one of the best properties that we have stayed in at Carova Beach. The house is very spacious and the owners have thought of everything to make the house a great vacation destination. The milkshake maker and ice cream maker were a hit. We watched the dolphins off of the top deck every day, multiple times a day. The horses grazed right in the backyard and provided entertainment all week. Thanks for giving our family an amazing week!
