Excellent property

We loved this house! It was clean and exactly as advertised. The 4x4 beach was definitely an adventure. The house was equipped w everything we needed. The short walk to the beach was convenient. We went for my husbands 50th w a small group of family and friends and everyone enjoyed it. We would def recommend! Hopefully we will be back! Well done Bears Inn!!! Thank you for an enjoyable week 😃

Great Beach House with everything we needed

We loved everything about this house. From the location to the decor and it was stocked with everything we needed. We had horses in our yard every day and the sunrise views from the pavilion were absolutely beautiful! We will definitely be back.

Perfect house for our family!

Beautiful, well kept house on the most beautiful dunes! Sunrises are amazing and we spent a lot of time relaxing in the hot tub! The house fit our family perfect and we felt at home as soon as we stepped in. We saw several horses on the property which was amazing! Would love to return in the future.

Where the Wild Horses Roam

Being surrounded by the grassy sand dunes, this property gave the feel of having a secluded beach while enjoying everything the Outer Banks has to offer. Daily sightings of the wild horses coming to and running through the property, including two sightings of 4-6 horses running along the beach. A short drive to Corolla to pick up food and other supplies. This property is well appointed and is in a perfect location. And the fact that dogs are allowed is a guarantee we will return. An all around great stay at a great place!

Clean, comfortable, nicely decorated

Beautiful home that fit my family perfectly (we had 11 family members at the house). Very well decorated and very clean. We had an amazing time and loved seeing the wild horses walking around the property! The only downfall was the heavy flooding in the area after a severe rainstorm. It was our first time visiting Carova Beach, so I didn't realize how badly the sand roads flood (not just this property but most of the houses in Carova Beach). If you get beautiful weather while there, then it's not a problem. Overall, we really enjoyed staying at the house.

Paradise in OBX

My family and I had the pleasure of staying at Bear Inn this summer. This place is great and provides fun for all ages! It was clean, comfortable and the accessibility to the beach was amazing! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to be back again in the future.

A-mazing

The property was amazing. The 4X4 experience was thrilling. The hot tub was perfect. Make sure you get there during low tide during the day. That first drive on the beach has obstacles. We did it in a Subaru Crosstrek and didn't have any trouble ... but I was prepared for anything and well researched. We saw monster trucks get stuck in the same sand. This might be the smallest house in the community, but it was absolutely the perfect size for 5 of us. The kitchen was well stocked, the beds were very firm, the bathrooms were very clean. We'll be back here again some day. It was one of our favorite rentals ever.

Not all we hoped for

The house is low so it doesn't actually have an ocean view unless you walk out to the gazebo. Getting out into town via the beach was inconvenient because you had to adjust your tire pressure in and out and it was slow travel on the beach - you can't just run out for things quickly. Overall it was a fun experience for the kids but we won't do it again.
