Come to where the wild horses roam and the surf fishing is legendary on a tiny strip of land in the Atlantic Ocean that stands as the last rural beach on the OBX- known as Carova Beach or "The 4WD area" by locals. This rental property is the first floor of a remote Northern hideaway where there are no roads, no signs and no mail delivery. We are the unofficial base camp for expedition into the very remote and pristine False Cape Park. YOU MUST HAVE A 4WD VEHICLE OR YOU WILL NOT MAKE IT HERE!! This 3 bedroom unit is the first floor of our REMOTE Carova beach Home.

BE ADVISED! The upstairs unit is our family summer beach getaway. We live our lives as we always have here and genuinely enjoy hosting our guests. We are not a high volume business because we don't need to be. One of us (Usually me or one of my adult children) will be on site enjoying the OBX just like you and are always happy to respond to your needs if it's within our power. We do occasionally walk our dogs early in the morning so you may hear us coming down the outdoor stairs. If you live in a two story home and some of your family is upstairs while others might be downstairs and you can hear the occasional bump or if you've ever stayed in a hotel and can hear people in the hallway every so often then that's GREAT! ..you won't complain in your review because you know what that is like and we are laying it out in the open right now. (; If you are a "Princess and the Pea" kinda guy or gal that requires absolute silence then please consider renting a whole house. We don't have small children, we don't listen to loud music or tap dance on the floor and are usually in bed by 9PM. We really ARE aware that you are downstairs and do our very best to be mindful of the noise we make. You can stay up as long as you want, watch TV , listen to soft music, etc... If you take issue with something we will bend over backwards to fix it...however you gotta let us know and give us the chance to make it better! Is that crazy talk? I hope not! (; While this is DEFINITLEY NOT a party house we are very tolerant and our guests are always louder than we are. The great part is we DO NOT share your space and try as hard as possible to give our guests a wide berth and mind our own business because we respect your privacy! THERE IS OUR DISCLAIMER! >>not trying to be obnoxious, we are just trying to be wide open about things up front instead of trying to lure people in with false claims (like so many do on ABB). Hopefully people will appreciate it. The outdoor patio is enclosed with corral gates that should remain closed at night otherwise you will find wild horses staring at you through your sliding glass door and horse poop all over the patio! They like to go under cover and into people's garages here, especially when it rains. ALWAYS REMEMBER-NEVER FEED OR PET THE HORSES. They live on a strict and unusual diet that no other breed of horse on the planet does so a single apple can kill . ATTN: The only shower in this unit is a shower house on your private deck w/ hot and cold running water and a small dressing area inside. The Shower and patio area is not shared and is for your private use only. ATTN: while your space will NEVER be shared or entered while you are home we do enter the space while unoccupied to access our private laundry room and for house keeping purposes only. ATTN: While all entrances to the suite can be fully locked from the inside while guests are home the main entrance will remain unlocked while guests are away. However your space will be guarded by a former Marine with a bad taste in his mouth for thieves and nair-do-wells at all times when guests are away (; If I need to leave at the same time or while you are out, discreet but convenient alternative security measures will be made available. Here on North Carova Beach crime is virtually non existent however, we remain vigilant at all times and take your security and privacy very seriously. ONLY THE NUMBER OF GUESTS INDICATED ON YOUR BOOKING WILL BE PERMITTED TO STAY OVERNIGHT ON THE PROPERTY. The whole first floor of the house minus the laundry and marked private storage rooms is your dedicated space including a large enclosed outdoor deck and patio with a seating/lounge area that is protected from weather. The Kitchen is connected to the living and sleeping quarters through a doorway and is your private kitchen to , prep, cook and store your dry and perishable food supplies. Please don't ask to use our private laundry room as we are on a small septic system. Thanks for your kind consideration. Your space is your own and completely separate from the rest of the building. We will be available for advise on local activities, travel, dining , fishing, local and house rules, maintenance, etc. We are here to make your stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible! The Mustang Galley is a Marine Corps Veteran owned and operated business . If you look on the map keep in mind that our "blocks" are only two properties wide. We are quite close to the beach! In fact you can hear the waves from the house! In reality the neighborhood here is really part of the beach and the reason why our roads are just sand lanes with no signs or lights. The neighborhood is Robinson Caruso with A/C, WIFI and Island music. No shoes , no shirt , no problem. All the houses are in the dunes and brush of the extended beach. The Mustang Galley is right where the houses and people end and False Cape National wildlife preserve begins with miles of unspoiled beaches and Back Bay shore line. You'll find horses, deer, sea turtles, every kind of sea bird imaginable and even seals on this beautiful beach park but you can't drive or park there so grab your fat tire trail bike or your backpack and hit the trails or the beach. There are also many uninhabited Islands on the sound side to explore by Kayak as well. YOU MUST HAVE A 4WD VEHICLE AND YOU MUST AIR DOWN YOUR TIRES!! It makes a huge difference and if you do the ride is beautiful with the Atlantic Ocean on one side, the dunes and wild horses on the other and blue skies up above! We are the unofficial base camp for the very remote and pristine False Cape State Park. There is no public parking here at the Northern most point of Carova beach anywhere near or at the entrance of the park and it's 12 miles up the beach to get to the park entrance which means other park goers have to walk or bike miles with their gear to get to the gate entrance of the park . The Mustang Galley is conveniently located right at the entrance of the False Cape so park your vehicle, bring your kayaks and bikes and head out for the day with ease . Other rentals on Carova beach will be miles from the False Cape so it's a major advantage for friends of The Galley who like to camp, kayak, bike, and hike the "primative coast". The Park is one of the last stretches of undeveloped beach front and Bay front land on the entire Atlantic Coast and is very difficult to get to (unless you stay at the Mustang Galley) as there is no vehicle access to the park on either side (NC or VA) except on foot, bike or by small water craft (there is a remote dock in the park on the bayside that can be accessed via the Currituck Sound from the Carova Beach Park boat ramp). Overnight camping is permitted by reservation and there are miles of bike trails, unspoiled empty beaches, wild horses and bay shore that is never crowded due to it's remote location. Make no mistake this is a wild and remote coastal reserve that is the last of it's kind ! Note: The False Cape Park is open to overnight campers all year round. All reservations for primative campsites must be made by phone by calling the False Cape Park Reservation line (800) 933 PARK
