Wildpferde + Kanalfront, 2 Min. zum Strand, Carova 4x4

Welcome to Fantasea — Your Carova Escape

Experience the magic of Carova from your own private canalfront retreat, where Corolla’s famous wild horses regularly wander through the neighborhood—and often right through the yard.

Spend your mornings on the beach, just a quick 2-minute 4WD trip over the dune, your afternoons fishing, crabbing, paddling or relaxing by the canal, and your evenings watching beautiful Outer Banks sunsets from the property.

Fantasea gives you the best of both worlds: easy beach access and peaceful waterfront living in the secluded 4x4 area of Carova.

🐴 Wild Horses Right Outside

This is one of the experiences that makes Fantasea so special.

Carova’s wild horses frequently roam around the property. Imagine drinking your morning coffee or relaxing outside and looking up to see horses wandering through the yard.

They’re not just something you might see on a tour—you may get to experience them right from your vacation home.

🌊 Beach by Day, Canal by Evening

Pack the vehicle with your chairs, cooler and beach gear and make the quick 2-minute drive over the dune to the beach.

No carrying everything several blocks to the ocean.

After your beach day, return to the quiet canal and enjoy a completely different side of the Outer Banks.

Fish. Crab. Paddleboard. Take out the paddleboat. Relax by the water. Or simply sit back and watch the sunset.

🍹 The Wild Horses Outdoor Bar & Living Area

Some of the best memories at Fantasea happen downstairs.

Our large covered ground-level outdoor living area gives your group a place to spend time together even when you’re not at the beach.

Enjoy the Wild Horses Outdoor Bar, outdoor TV, refrigerator, seating and dining areas.

Wash the sand away in the outdoor shower, stretch out in one of the hammocks or challenge the family to cornhole, ring toss, life-size Jenga or ping-pong.

Fire up the charcoal grills for dinner and settle in for an evening by the canal.

And don’t be surprised if a few four-legged Carova residents wander past while you’re relaxing.

🏡 Inside Fantasea

The home’s bright, open living area and fully equipped kitchen make it easy for families and friends to spend time together.
