Guest recommendations
"The size is perfect for our family, composite stairs and deck ,outside lights , fish cleaning table, outdoor ice maker and in my opinion the most affordable home that is still close to the beach."
"We loved the location, the view from the balconies, and the cuteness of the decor. Very well stocked kitchen as well."
"We were extremely pleased with this house. It's very comfortable inside. We loved sitting on the deck in the late afternoon--you can still hear the waves and enjoy a good breeze while the sun is blocked by the house. The kitchen is the best stocked kitchen of any vacation rental house we have ever stayed at anywhere. I always bring my own pans when I rent a house but I didn't have to use anything that I brought to cook with. I was worried the house would not be very clean since it's surrounded by sand -- but the house was very clean, and I am picky! I would most definitely rent this house again."
"Truthfully, the off season price! It’s a great home for what I need. The kitchen was well equipped, living room is nice, deck is great, You can hear the ocean while chillin. I do have a few suggestions, sofa is a little warm out, the mattress in the first bd on right is super noisy, it’s comfy but creaks. I think the tv is having issues with hdmi inputs, signal from satellite box stops working, tv will show “no hdmi input”. I tried to swap hdmi ports all with the same result. I changed to tv inputs to the rca cables for the dvr. Then the tv worked well. Only problem with using that input it cuts off the edges of the program, I did adjust the aspect ratio on tv and sat box. I have seen the problem with TVs before, the hdmi input board is going bad."
"Outdoor shower, privacy in yard with fire pit"
"I had another great stay at The Sand Bunker. The house has everything you need, its not beach front but you can hear the ocean from the decks, I think it's just perfect."
"Ice maker, fish cleaning table, less stairs than typical homes we’ve stayed at in the past, price"
"This house was perfect for our family. Not to mention the ice machine outside, that was a pleasant surprise! Would definitely book this same house!"
"The ice machine was wonderful to have! Horses visited every day. The house was well stocked for kitchen use. However not providing liens is a game changer for me (not something I want to pay more for)."
"The big ice maker outside"
"The Sand Bunker was well equipped for staying in the 4 wheel drive area."
"This was a great home for the price range! It was because of that price that I was able to stay in such a beautiful area of the Outer Banks. I was also very happy working with Twiddy and Co. This was one of the best vacations I have ever had, the 4x4 beaches are simply beautiful and unlike any location in the country. The main reason I go to OBX is because you can drive on the beach, Carova is ALL beach and simply amazing. I will be back!"
"We had horses at the house every day we were there. They regularly walked through and ate grass. It also has a great upper deck. It's terrific for watching the sunrise."
"One of the smaller more affordable houses for a small family to enjoy on the 4X4 beaches."
"We enjoyed a trip to Carova recently and rented the Sandbunker. The home is simple and very clean and comfortable. The kitchen is beyond well stocked with anything you might need. The horses are in the yard and around this house every day."
"Beautiful home! Everything was perfect"
"The house was perfect very clean big enough for my whole family. Couldn’t of ask for a better place to stay thank you we will be returning next year for our vacation my birthday and my anniversary."
"Family's first trip to the OBX, was a wonderful home away from home! The house is close to the beach and has all the amenities you could need. We especially enjoyed how many wild horses came to the yard!"
