New 4BR Home | Private Pool | Ocean Views | Pets Welcome | 4x4 Beach - Vacation rental home in Corolla, NC

**Detailed Description:**
Welcome to The Salty Dog — a brand new 2025 home located in the wild, unspoiled 4x4 section of Carova Beach on the Northern Outer Banks of North Carolina. With four bedrooms, three and a half baths, a private swimming pool, and sweeping ocean vistas from two levels of wraparound decking, this is the Carova vacation your family has been dreaming of.

A 4-wheel drive car is required to reach The Salty Dog — and that's exactly what keeps this stretch of beach so special. No traffic, no hordes, just wide open Atlantic shoreline, star-filled skies, and the famed Corolla wild horses that frequently graze close by. The Salty Dog sits roughly 6.5 miles up the 4x4 beach, as far from the hustle of everyday life as you can get.

**The Home**
Spread across three levels with 2,061 square feet, The Salty Dog sleeps up to 8 guests comfortably. The top floor king suite features an ensuite bath and private deck access — wake up to ocean vistas and the sound of the surf before heading up to the bright, open great room with marvelous Atlantic vistas. The entirely outfitted kitchen with granite countertops and island seating is ready for multiple chefs, and the screened-in porch just off the kitchen is the ideal spot for morning coffee with the ocean breeze.

On the second level you'll find two queen bedrooms with deck access (one with ensuite bath), plus a fun bunk room with a triple twin set — great for kids. A full laundry room rounds out this level.

**Outside**
The private pool is open mid-May through end of September. Two levels of decking offer exceptional Atlantic vistas, outdoor furnishings, a charcoal BBQ grille, outdoor shower, and beach chairs for five. Two beach parking passes are supplied.

**Family Animals Welcome**
The Salty Dog welcomes up to two modest/medium dogs (restrictions on age, weight, and breed apply). A per-pet fee and returnable security deposit are required. No cats please.

**Short Stays Available**
Three-nighttime minimum stays are available in the spring and late fall — ideal for a fast beach escape that won't break the bank!

Linens and towels included. No smoking. No graduation groups or events. Parking at the home is complimentary and unlimited.
