About
Welcome to Paradise at Blue Fin, a beautifully renovated oceanfront vacation home on the 4x4 beaches of Carova Beach, Northern Outer Banks, North Carolina. This 6-bedroom, 2,525 sq ft beach house sleeps 12 and has been thoughtfully updated throughout — new kitchen, new heatable private pool, new hot tub, updated bathrooms, new furniture, and new lighting. Panoramic Atlantic views span the entire east side of the home. A four-wheel-drive vehicle is required; the property sits approximately 9.5 miles up the 4x4 beach. Three-night stays available in spring and fall.
Bedrooms & Sleeping Arrangements
Six bedrooms sleep 12 guests across two levels. The top level features a queen bedroom with private west-facing deck and shared bath. The second level offers five bedrooms: a large king suite with circular wall of windows, private bath, and south deck access; a queen room and twin bunk room with twin trundle sharing a bath, both with smart TVs and private east deck access; a second queen room with private west deck; and a duo-bunk room with double bottom bunk and twin top bunk. The two remaining rooms share a bath between them.
New Heatable Pool & Hot Tub
The brand new private heatable pool and new hot tub make Paradise at Blue Fin one of the most updated oceanfront rentals on the 4x4 beach. Pool heating available for a fee. Relax in the hot tub on the third-level deck while stargazing or watching the sunrise over the Atlantic.
Renovated Kitchen & Dining
The brand new fully equipped kitchen delights even the most demanding chef, with a reverse osmosis drinking water faucet and refrigerator filter for fresh water. The dining area seats 12, and two extra full-size refrigerators on the first level provide ample food storage for a full week's stay.
Beach Access & Outdoor Spaces
A beautifully lit private walkway over the oceanfront dune leads directly to the beach, with rinse-off spigots along the way. An outdoor shower on the second-level deck, gas grill, and two beach season passes complete the outdoor setup.

We had a really wonderful stay with our two kids and two dogs at Paradise at Blue Fin. The house was exactly as described. The setting is beautiful, the pool was amazing, the hot tub was wonderful on the cool nights. We so appreciated the ability to heat the pool in April - this was a great bonus from other houses we looked at. I want to give a big thank you to Laura - her communication and help leading up to the stay made the planning so easy. She was always fast to respond and so friendly. Because of her, I would happily book with Carova Cottages again.

Paradise at Blue Fin was a great house for our family vacation. Easy walk to the beach and great amenities. We saw wild horses on the dunes almost every day. We vacationed in September and had the option of heating the pool. We did and it ended up being a great decision.

After renting over a dozen properties on the outer banks over the years, we found this house to be perfect for our needs as well as a beautiful location. The house was very well equipped. We travelled with two small children and found everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Would definitely rent this house again. The people at Carova Cottages were very helpful and responsive along the way. Thank you for a great vacation!

Home was perfect. Loved the pool and hot tub and the location was perfect. All the windows gave you a clear view of the ocean and sunrises. On several occasions the wild horses appeared on the property.
Breath taking views and it was so quiet this time of year.
Manager's Response
Fall is perfect in Carova. The temps are usually still nice and the heated pool helps if there is a chill in the air.
We are glad you enjoyed your stay. Please come again.

Family of six had a wonderful time. The layout and location up the beach was exactly what we were looking for. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets, had horses in our yard almost every morning. You can't go wrong with Blue Fin. Laura was great to work with as well!
Manager's Response
Birthdays at the beach are the BEST! The horses like to graze on the oceanfront dune at Paradise at Blue Fin. It can be quite a spectacle seeing them grazing as the sun rises. Paradise!!
Thanks for your repeat business and hope you all will come again!

Very clean property, our family of 10 had plenty of room and privacy. During our stay we saw the horses right over the sand dunes to the beach and dolphins were spotted a few times as well. The porch offers both Sun and shade spots to sit and catch up with your family. If you've never ruined on a four-wheel drive Beach, it's an experience. Definitely would recommend making sure you have all your items so you don't have to go back and forth into town since it is such a long Beach drive. Owner was easy to get a hold of if I had questions. My whole family thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
Manager's Response
We're so glad you loved PARADISE at BLUE FIN! It's a pretty nice spot! The new pool right off the dune deck now has a TIKI BAR!! :-) The owners are improving the house every winter so stay tuned for the next improvement.
The beach drive is almost ten miles, so you are pretty far up. If you try to get all of your supplies there early in the week, then you can really relax the rest of the time. ICE can be purchased at machine at the fire hall about a mile south. DEFINITELY, no one is going out to get coffee every morning, but the trade off is such peach and serenity, you won't mind!! LOL. We're so glad your family liked their stay. Please come and visit again!!
Very nice house

We had a great experience with this house. Everything was as expected except for the BBQ, not as shown or described in post. Would definitely look to come back again.
Manager's Response
I think that grill was on it's last legs by the time you stayed. I'll put a bug in the owner's ear on it. They don't last long here!!! Next time, give us a call. We may be able to figure something out.
So glad everything else was good. We hope you will consider coming again. We'd love to have you.

House was great, bathrooms good, plenty of space for our family. Clean, updated, good location, comfortable beds! Downside was some cooking utensils to have would have been nice for number of people and cooking- electric griddle, larger skillet/lids. Otherwise great place.
Manager's Response
THANKS so much for your wonderful review. Paradise at Blue Fin has been a labor of love for the new owners. They have outfitted it with everything you should need but it sounds like we should double check for the larger fry pans. Griddles are a personal choice.. but I'll check in with the owners and see if they would like to supply one for the house. They are not a typical standard. THANKS and we hope you will come again.
We had a great time! The location was wonderful. It was nice to be oceanfront and have a pool and hot tub as well. Laura was great to work with.
