New home by premier builder. Fantastic Views! 4x4 Required

Welcome to Harper House, a lovely 3BR home with fantastic ocean views on the 4x4 beach. The wide beach and close beach access make this North Swan home an easy choice! Located on the second row with no oceanfront home directly in front, Harper House views and sounds of the surf come right into the living room! The heavenly breezes will whoosh all of your cares away and relax your soul. The owners of this home love the minimalist approach and it shows in the outfitting of every room. The Ocean is the main focal point from both levels. There IS a tv for the diehard.... but there are no other screens to divert your attention from the focus of the Atlantic Ocean and your family.

Level one has a keyless entry which makes life so much easier! No keys to find or lose!
On level two there is a queen master bedroom with a gorgeous master bath and huge private deck. The other two bedrooms on level two share a hallway bath and are a queen in one, and two twins in the other. Linens and towels are provided.
On level three you will find a wide open kitchen with very comfortable and inviting island seating, leather sofas, the lone smart TV connected to satellite and a huge dining room table. Expansive wrap around decks invite you to partake in a sun drenched south exposure or the more relaxed ocean side covered porch. The teak outside dining table will invite you to picnic while listening to the pounding surf. The fact that there are no homes between you and the ocean makes Harper House a delightful way to reconnect with nature. The ocean views will delight you with dolphins, pelicans, shore birds and surf, while the occasional fox or wild horse will top off the back to basics feeling that Harper House provides. The ocean is calling.. come experience it in full at Harper House.

Saturday Check in - 4 Wheel Drive Required - Linens and Towels provided - located approximately 7 miles up the 4x4 beach - NO pets. Parking passes for parking two cars on the beach are included with this home. Parking at the house is free and unlimited. There is No Pool or Hot Tub at this home.

Must have 4wheel
Property was just as described. Simple, clean and comfortable. You are down the island, just a bit over 7 miles from where you come on so be prepared. The horses are there! So cool, one night we had 5 on the property. The beach is beautiful. Our stay was during a super moon, so getting off the day we left was an adventure, almost no beach to drive..we saw more of the “back” island. Fun experience.

A view that makes it relaxing to cook on vacation
We had an amazing week at Harper House. You can’t beat the view from the kitchen. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. Some lounge chairs would be great for the deck!

Beautiful house!
This house was prefect for us! We got the gorgeous view and the beach was just steps away. House had fast internet and that was a bonus since I had to take a work call. It was clean and neat and the hosts were a delight! Thank you and we will see you next year!

Best vacation ever.
This property is beautiful and has one of the best views of sun rising I have ever seen. Very peaceful, calming and relaxing vacation week. Exactly what we were looking for. Driving down the sandy beach in order to get to the house was so much fun each time. I will recommend this property to anyone looking for a beautiful place to stay. My family and I would rent this house again in the future. Thank you Laura for allowing us to borrow you beautiful property for the week. A family vacation we will never forget. PS. We loved the wild horses. So beautiful to watch.

Almost Oceanfront..
Very nice home, very good deal considering pricing versus view. Newer home, updated, good lay out, covered parking, interior stairs, big decks. Would not hesitate to rent Harper House again.

Awesome stay
This property is gorgeous. Everything was as described. Very short walk to the beach, and the boat launch (for kayaks and paddle boards) for the sound was only a few minute drive away. Many mornings featured horses in nearby yards. The 4x4 requirement is a must. Roads are all sand, and for us flooded in many spots. Only minor complaint was no utensils appropriate for the grill. Overall, we had a great vacation here.

Incredible
We had the best week ever at the Harper House. This place was perfect for us and it was immaculate. It had everything we needed and more (except for those dang front porch rockers lol...inside joke). Easy access to the ocean and wild horses everywhere. I wish I could leave a bunch of our pics. Laura at Carova Cottages was awesome. Can't wait to come back!!

Incredible Vacation at the Harper House!
The Harper House is a beautiful home in a fantastic location in Carova Beach! While the property isn’t oceanfront, it didn’t matter as there were oceanfront views and even those homes that are oceanfront generally have to walk/drive over the dunes in order to access the beach, so we wouldn’t have gained anything by paying more for oceanfront. The check in process couldn’t be easier, and the keyless entry made things easy when someone wanted to head back to the house earlier than the rest of us. We saw tons of wild horses during our stay, including the same 3 who would frequent the yard every day, as well as many others on the beach. The house is brand new as of July 2021 and everything is stunning and clean. We had WiFi the entire time we were there without issue. The only thing we found a bit odd was that none of the bedrooms had dressers in them, but there is ample closet space. It didn’t matter to us as we were in bathing suits and cover ups 90% of the time. Having a washer and dryer right outside of the bedrooms was so convenient! The five beach chairs provided worked out great as we didn’t have room in the vehicle to bring our own. The beach parking passes were very handy so that we didn’t have to lug all of our gear to the beach every day. You just leave all of the gear in the truck, park right on the beach, open the tailgate and you’re done. We were so happy to be the first renters in the Harper House, and hope to visit again very soon!! If you’re looking for a place to unwind that is outside of the hustle and bustle of typical beach towns, I highly recommend the Harper House! PSA: Please keep your distance and do NOT feed the horses, it’s extremely dangerous for them and can easily kill them. Generations of wild horses have survived for nearly 500 years on local grasses and plants without issue.
