Salty Moon (formerly Witches Bikini) - Vacation rental home in Carova, NC

**A 4x4 Vehicle is required to access this home, there are no paved roads in Carova. This home is located 7.4 miles from the 4-wheel drive on-ramp.****

Set directly on the legendary 4x4 beaches, where the wild horses roam freely and the Atlantic stretches endlessly before you, this extraordinary oceanfront retreat delivers an unmatched Outer Banks experience. With unobstructed ocean views, sweeping decks, and the soothing rhythm of the waves as your backdrop, every moment here feels immersed in nature and coastal luxury.

The top level is designed for elevated living and unforgettable views. A spacious great room with a ship’s watch showcases panoramic ocean vistas, while the newly updated kitchen features granite countertops, island seating, and effortless flow for entertaining. A private king suite on this level offers its own balcony overlooking the ocean. Begin your mornings with sunrise views from the front deck, sip coffee from the screened-in porch just off the kitchen, or unwind on the adjoining back deck—perfect for capturing golden sunsets over the dunes.

The middle level invites relaxation with a second living area and coffee bar, complete with sink and beverage refrigerator. Four additional bedrooms are thoughtfully arranged: two king en suites, a queen bedroom with private deck access, and a bunk room featuring new twin-over-twin and twin-over-full bunks (please note that bedmaking does not include the top bunks). The queen and bunk rooms share a full bath, making this level ideal for families and groups.

On the ground level, the fun continues in the game room and bar—an instant favorite for gatherings—with a smart TV, shuffleboard, darts, axe throwing, and a half bath. Step outside to the private pool and patio, just steps from the beach, for effortless outdoor enjoyment. Additional activities include axe throwing, cornhole, and horseshoes. For a truly magical escape, the dune-level patio offers a peaceful retreat beyond the home—perfect for listening to the surf by day and stargazing beneath the wide, unspoiled night sky.

Remote, breathtaking, and unforgettable—this oceanfront home captures the true spirit of the Outer Banks 4x4 experience, where nature, comfort, and coastal beauty come together seamlessly.
