The Harper House is a beautiful home in a fantastic location in Carova Beach! While the property isn’t oceanfront, it didn’t matter as there were oceanfront views and even those homes that are oceanfront generally have to walk/drive over the dunes in order to access the beach, so we wouldn’t have gained anything by paying more for oceanfront.
The check in process couldn’t be easier, and the keyless entry made things easy when someone wanted to head back to the house earlier than the rest of us.
We saw tons of wild horses during our stay, including the same 3 who would frequent the yard every day, as well as many others on the beach. The house is brand new as of July 2021 and everything is stunning and clean. We had WiFi the entire time we were there without issue.
The only thing we found a bit odd was that none of the bedrooms had dressers in them, but there is ample closet space. It didn’t matter to us as we were in bathing suits and cover ups 90% of the time. Having a washer and dryer right outside of the bedrooms was so convenient!
The five beach chairs provided worked out great as we didn’t have room in the vehicle to bring our own. The beach parking passes were very handy so that we didn’t have to lug all of our gear to the beach every day. You just leave all of the gear in the truck, park right on the beach, open the tailgate and you’re done. We were so happy to be the first renters in the Harper House, and hope to visit again very soon!!
If you’re looking for a place to unwind that is outside of the hustle and bustle of typical beach towns, I highly recommend the Harper House!
PSA: Please keep your distance and do NOT feed the horses, it’s extremely dangerous for them and can easily kill them. Generations of wild horses have survived for nearly 500 years on local grasses and plants without issue.
