Get away from it all... escape to Bikini Bottom, our playground by the sea. Accessible only by 4WD, Bikini Bottom is located 9 miles up the beach from the end of Highway 12 and is well appointed to ensure your perfect vacation.
After leaving Highway 12, you will immediately feel your stress slip away as you drive along the beach and experience the serene beauty of the Northern Beaches. Along the way, you'll see natural dune lines decorated with sea oats bending in the offshore breezes.
Once you settle in to our beautiful Bikini Bottom, take a stroll along the gorgeous beach to unwind and collect shells left by the changing tides, watch the dolphins play and the pelicans glide, and if you are lucky get a peek at the wild horses and their families grazing in the dunes or playing along the shore. Return to take advantage of our many ocean facing decks or relax in the second floor hammock to listen to the rhythm of the waves crashing against the sand!
Your days at Bikini Bottom can be spent relaxing at the beach or pool, crabbing or surf fishing, walking for endless miles along the shore, or kayaking in the sound. You can also explore all that the Outer Banks has to offer. Shop at the many unique shopping areas in Corolla and Duck, climb the Corolla Lighthouse, or take a tour of the Historic Corolla Village. Many fine restaurants can also be found in these areas, or pick up some fresh fish and steaks and head back to Bikini Bottom to create your own masterpiece! Our grilling gazebo is a relaxing spot to hang out and enjoy a cold beverage while preparing your dinner by the sea.
The well appointed kitchen is a perfect compliment to the grilling gazebo. Enjoy meals in the dining room, at the bar, or enjoy the evening breeze on the screened porch! The master bedroom is also on the top floor, with a large tiled bathroom and private deck. Additionally, from the top floor you can sneak up even farther to the cozy Ship's Watch to relax, read, or take an afternoon nap! The second floor has another master bedroom with a private bathroom. Also located on the second floor are two additional bedrooms which share a full bathroom. All bedrooms have sliding glass doors which open to large decks. The ground floor has a queen sleep sofa, half bath, kitchenette (with refrigerator, microwave, sink and storage cabinets), television and dvd player. Outside, enjoy the large private swimming pool and hot tub. Also, enjoy our two person kayak to explore the canals and even out to the bay. Launch from the public boat launch just a couple of blocks away!
Enjoy all the amenities that we have provided to help make your vacation a spectacular one, but most of all relax and enjoy the unique beauty of Carova and all it has to offer....we know you'll be back! Note you must be 25 years of age to rent this property and signee must be vacationing on property... no friend groups sorry. Our house really is designed for a family vacation.

We just returned from our second stay at this beautiful home, and once again, it didn’t disappoint. The house is very well maintained, clean, and has everything you need for a relaxing getaway.During our stay, there was an unexpected issue with the air conditioning, but the owner was incredibly responsive and worked quickly to resolve it while we were still there. They kept in communication with us throughout the process and even provided compensation for the inconvenience, which we really appreciated.It’s clear the owner takes great pride in the property and genuinely cares about the comfort of their guests. We had a great experience both times we’ve stayed.

We’re a family of 5 and we stayed at Bikini Bottom for a week. Michelle was an exceptional hostess and was so prompt in answering all our questions. The house is stunning, clean, modern, and steps from beautiful Carova Beach. The pool and hot tub are 10/10! Can’t say enough great things about our experience here, we loved it so much we’re booking again for next year! The house has everything you will need, including a fully stocked kitchen, beach gear, and lots of space to spread out while relaxing at the house. Our favorites this week included sunrises on the beach (a must!!!), the wild horses everywhere (we saw them every day!!!), the pool and hot tub area and boating and jet skiing in town. Make sure you have a 4x4 as it’s several miles to reach the house. My husband really enjoyed driving on the beach, seeing the wild horses made it a fun adventure. Overall an excellent rental, highly recommend if you want something a little more quiet and secluded!!!

This house was absolutely perfect for our family of 10 and left us wanting for nothing. From the short walk to the gorgeous beach, multiple decks from which to enjoy the view (including sunrises!), including a lovely screened-in porch with cozy seating, comfortable beds in the spacious bedrooms, wonderful pool and hot tub and well-stocked kitchen, we wanted for nothing during our stay. We found every kind of cookware and pans that we could have needed which is a big deal for a family that likes to cook like we do. We saw the horses daily on the beach, the walk to the beach and hanging out near the house. Michelle was readily available and responsive and a terrific host. A few insights to share - one, while we we were able to navigate the dune in our Subarus (Ascent and Outback), if you have the option to get there in a vehicle with higher clearance I would definitely suggest going that route. We were fortunate not to get stuck (experience driving in unplowed snow helped!) but all of the vehicles we did see requiring a tow were similar to ours. Two, the dune drive makes getting to and from town a bit of an undertaking so stock up on all of your groceries on the way if you can (truthfully, we didn't want to leave anyways!). Also, be forewarned that the traffic can be no joke. Three, make sure you plan to get up early at least a couple of mornings to watch the sunrise - it is WELL worth it! Finally, do not hesitate to book this property - you will not regret it!

We had a wonderful week at Bikini Bottom. The location was great, once we realized we had booked a 4x4 beach house. SURPRISE! That mistake was 100% my fault and I’m so glad I made that “mistake”. It was an adventure and we would do it again. The pool was a wonderful amenity, as was the screened porch. The owners were in communication with us the entire week but not in an intrusive way. Have your cameras ready to take pictures of the wild horses.
