3 Bedroom House in Carova Beach, Carova

Welcome to Harper House, a beautifully designed minimalist semi-oceanfront vacation home on the 4x4 beaches of Carova Beach, Northern Outer Banks, North Carolina. This 3-bedroom, 1,881 sq ft beach house sleeps 6 and sits on a high lot in the North Swan area with no home directly between it and the ocean — giving you unobstructed Atlantic views, the sounds of crashing surf, and ocean breezes from every level. A four-wheel-drive vehicle is required; the property sits approximately 7 miles up the 4x4 beach. Three-night minimum stays available in spring and fall.
Bedrooms & Sleeping Arrangements
Three bedrooms sleep 6 guests across two levels. The second level features a queen master bedroom with private bath and large private deck, plus two additional bedrooms sharing a hallway bath — one queen and one twin room with two twin beds. Keyless entry on level one makes arrival effortless.
Ocean Views & Outdoor Living
The top level reverse floor plan places the main living area where the views shine brightest. A wide open kitchen with island seating, leather sofas, and a smart TV connected to satellite anchor the space, alongside a large dining room table seating 6. Expansive wraparound decks offer a sunny south-facing exposure and a covered oceanside porch for shaded relaxation. A teak outdoor dining table lets you dine al fresco to the sound of the surf. With no homes between Harper House and the ocean, dolphins, pelicans, shorebirds, and the occasional wild horse or fox are regular visitors to the view.
The Harper House Philosophy
The owners of Harper House embrace a minimalist approach — the Atlantic Ocean is the entertainment. One smart TV is available for the dedicated screen watcher, but the real draw is the unfiltered connection to nature, family, and the rhythm of the sea.
