About this house rental

Detailed Description:
Welcome to Ten Down — a stunning oceanfront retreat at the very top of the 4x4 beaches of Carova Beach, Northern Outer Banks, North Carolina. Situated just a few tenths of a mile from the Virginia border and the fence that keeps the famous Corolla wild horses in North Carolina, Ten Down offers the most secluded, peaceful, and truly wild beach experience you'll find anywhere on the East Coast.
A 4-wheel drive vehicle is required to reach Ten Down — and at 11 miles up the 4x4 beach, this is as far from the crowds as you can get. The beach in front of Ten Down is among the least traveled on the entire Outer Banks. Just you, the ocean, the wild horses, and the kind of quiet that makes you wonder why you ever left.
The Home
Ten Down is spread across three thoughtfully designed levels. The top level great room is the heart of the home — a beautiful open living, dining, and kitchen space with comfortable seating and a south-facing screened porch perfect for dining outside or simply sitting a spell with the ocean breeze. Every detail has been considered for your comfort and relaxation.
The Bedrooms
Head down to the second level for four beautifully appointed bedrooms — a king master suite with TV and deck access, a queen master suite with TV and deck access, a twin room, and a duo-bunk room (double bottom bunk, twin upper). The twin and bunk rooms share a hallway bath. ALL bedrooms have private deck access, and the second level deck is home to the hot tub — perfect for stargazing on clear Carova nights.
The first level features a comfortable sitting room with a daybed and TV, plus a full bath — ideal as a quiet retreat or overflow sleeping space.
The Dune-Top Gazebo
Ten Down's most unique feature is the private walkway from the house out to the beach, complete with a one-of-a-kind screened gazebo perched right on top of the dune. Watch the wild horses from your elevated perch, take in the ocean views, or simply relax in the shade while the waves roll in below. You could literally never touch sand if you didn't want to — but trust us, you'll want to dip a toe or two in that beautiful Atlantic.
Outside
The pool area is expansive and inviting, with a cabana bath, outdoor shower, and gas and charcoal grills. Pool and hot tub are typically open late May through end of September. Two beach parking passes are included.
No Pets
Ten Down is not pet friendly.
Saturday check-in. Linens and towels provided. No smoking. No graduation groups or events. Free unlimited parking at the house. Two beach parking passes included.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Year 7 was wonderful! We love the house and amenities! A little sad we will have neighbors next door next year, but that was to be expected eventually. We cannot wait until year 8! (Still subtly hinting for an ice machine ;) )
