Bikinis and Bellinis
Capacity
About
Long weekends available. 3 night minimum.
Bikinis and Bellinis is a lovely six bedroom home on the 4x4 beach with great views of the ocean. New owners are making it their own with many decor changes and a brand new state of the art kitchen.!!
Bellinis and Bikinis is a beautifully maintained 3rd row home with wonderful views of the ocean and a short walk to the 4x4 beach. Outside you will find a gas or charcoal grill and a HUGE pool with plenty of lounging space. Relax in the hot tub before heading inside to the game room on level one. Here you will find a pool table, arcade game, streaming tv, darts, many other games and plenty of comfortable seating.
On level two there are four bedrooms. Two of the bedrooms (K, Q) have east deck access and private baths. A two twin room also has east deck access and shares a hallway bath with the two twin bunk sets room. The fourth bedroom is a Queen with private bath. Every room is as desirable as the last, so no worries about claiming a space, they are all superb.
Just off the Great Room on level three is a KING bedroom with private bath, deck access and SmarTV. The gorgeous views in the living room are enough to keep you entertained, but there is also a huge Smartv and a huge selection of movies! The new kitchen is a joy! You will want this kitchen in your house!! You'll want for nothing while making meals, and just in case you have trouble boiling water, there is safety on the sidelines of the large kitchen island. The rule at my house is that dishes will be done by the folks who don't cook... don't worry, even that will be a joy in this well planned kitchen!

Great View
Patrick W., Liverpool, NY United States
I'd rent this property again!
Manager's Response
Thanks for your review!! So glad you'd stay again. Bikinis and Bellinis is a pretty special vacation home with plenty of diversion for your two week stay! There is a LOT to do there but also there is a lot of relaxation to be had as well!! Two weeks might not be enough!! ;-)
1st timers!
Marisa C., Schenectady, NY United States
This is our 3rd year coming to 4x4 but our 1st ti.e renting with Carova Cottages and staying at bikins and bellinis! What an amazing house! The attention for detail, all the little amenities!!! Anything that could possibly be needed, is there. (We actually made a game out of it to see if someone could name something!lol) Felt like family and staying at home from the very 1st (crazy) incident I had booking and Laura took care of it so incredibly fast, to the checking out procedures. Everything was perdect!!!!
Manager's Response
The mini heart attack while booking was NOT a precursor of things to come. We handled that little issue with no problem. ;-) We're so glad you loved Bikinis and Bellinis. The owners have done a fantastic job of making their guests feel welcome and at home. Please do come again, we'd love to have you.
Great Get Away
Recent Guest, Crownsville, MD United States
This is our 3rd year staying here and it’s always a great time. Very responsive if you ever need anything, clean, and we always see so many horses! So wonderful. Thank you!
Favorite Vacation Three Years Running
Theresa W., Washington, DC Unknown
We visit this property every summer for the week of the 4th - this is our third summer and we loved every minute of it. The house has an amazing brand new kitchen and all the gear you'd need to enjoy any meal. The property is always clean and well maintained and Laura is quick to respond to any inquiry we send during our stay. We're already booked for next year and can't wait to come back!
Manager's Response
We're so glad you found this home. I believe it was still Screamin Mimi when you first started coming here. Your mimi and this mimi were both screamers!! LOL.
Anyway, the newest addition to Bikinis and Bellinis, the fantastic kitchen, is coveted by EVERY GUEST that arrives! You are not alone in your desire to take that kitchen home with you.!!!
So glad you are coming back next year. See you then!!
Perfect home
Recent Guest, Warfordsburg, PA Unknown
This was our second year staying in this home. The house is more than accommodating. Has everything you need and more. Any questions we had or problems that arose the property management was very quick to respond. This is the perfect home for our large family.
Manager's Response
Thank you for your review. Bikinis and Bellinis is a great house for a large family. There are so many places to hang out, both inside and out. Lovely decor and comfortable seating really round out the whole experience. Stay tuned for an enlarged pool area for 2025! Hope you will come see it!!
Perfect home in paradise
Nicole H., West Chester, PA United States
We had an amazing week here, the house is beautiful with tasteful and elegant decor. It has everything you could need, well stocked kitchen, two dishwashers great for large groups, the pool and hot tub are clean and have lots of seating, nice beach chairs available, and is the first house in Carova I have visited where the water didn’t smell like sulfur thanks to the filtration system at the house. Thanks for making our stay amazing!
Manager's Response
So glad your stay was amazing!! The new owners of Bikinis and Bellinis have really worked hard to include everything someone might want! They have a knack for making you feel at home! Additions continue as after you departed, they put in lighting around the pool and an arcade game in the level one game room. Improvements galore are the order of business. This winter a new kitchen is being installed. I hope you guys will come again to experience the improvements!!
Perfect Family Vacation Week!
Angie B., Hagerstown , MD United States
Wow, is all I can say about our vacation week! We had perfect weather and the perfect house! We have been coming to OBX for 10 years now and this was by far the best house we have ever stayed in. The extra amenities - beach gear, indoor/outdoor games, fire pit, hot tub/pool, new grills, and so much more made this stay fantastic. The house was the cleanest one we have ever stayed in and the extra personal touches made it even better. This was our first time staying on the 4x4 beach and we enjoyed the laid back atmosphere so much. We only left the house/beach one time to venture into Corolla to climb the lighthouse, do some shopping and eat out. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to make our favorite meals each night.
Laura and Dave were so accommodating and quick to resolve any issue or answer any question we had. They even brought firewood over one night so we could have a s'mores night in the outdoor fire pit. We enjoyed talking with them when they stopped by to take care of something and realizing that they used to live near us in Maryland...such a small world!!
We appreciate you sharing your beach house with us and look forward to visiting again soon!
Manager's Response
THANKS so much for your nice review and your kind words! We are so happy you love Bikinis and Bellinis! The amenities really make a vacation so much fuller, particularly if the weather doesn't cooperate. Sounds like that was not the issue here! lol. We can all hope for PERFECT weather.
Please come again.. we'd love to have you. :-)
Perfect vacation home on the beach
Rebecca S., Warfordsburg, PA US
The home is amazing and has everything you need and more. We didn’t have the best weather but there was so much in the home that we were able to have an amazing time. Horses were in the yard daily and the kids loved it! Property manager was quick to respond to our questions and we even had a few laughs :)
Manager's Response
And the laughing continues. I love my job.. meeting nice people and helping them have a good time! Thanks so much for your nice review. Bikinis and Bellinis really doesn't disappoint. All the extra touches make it an easy place to relax, even on the rainy days. Maybe next year should be TWO weeks, then you are sure to get a few nice days in! ;-) More laughs too!

Manager's Response
LOL. We'll have to get a bigger toaster.!!! But sounds like that was not a deal breaker for you! Let me know next time and I'll bring an extra over. haha.
So glad you enjoyed the vacation. Even with some black snake activity. The one thing I say about snakes is they earn their keep by keeping the mice down.
It sounds like you all enjoyed your family time at Bikinis and Bellinis. I hope you will consider a return stay soon!
All about the property managers
Jacqui B., Seymour, CT United States
We had another great vacation. We have stayed at 3 properties from Carova Cottages over the last three years. Each house has been a different size and different features. But every year, as all vacations have, we have things that go wrong or are missing or broken,etc. certain things can ruin a vacation. For every vacation to the OBX we haven taken care of above and beyond with Laura at Carova Cottages. They truly care about whether u had a good time. She had a hot tub guy out as soon as the motor stopped. She answered every text we had about some high tech appliances and even spoke to the owner when we had an issue. Vacations will always have things go wrong but if the property managers are anything like Carova Cottages then you will be well taken care of.
This specific house was newly updated and very beautiful. It has every thing you need except a keurig which Laura ended up bringing us one before check in. The pool table could be updated and they need new pool sticks. But other than that the house is beautiful, updated, and big. You don’t deal with any people around your house as you are two rows back from the ocean. We saw one herd of horses multiple times In our yard. 10/10 would stay at this house again.
Manager's Response
It is unfortunate that sometimes, things just go wrong with a house! We try our best to fix it, whatever it is, asap. What I want to say though, is that it really helps when a guest realizes as you do, that we are doing our best! Thanks so much for your understanding <3 and we're glad we could get the hot tub resolved quickly. I hope your vacation next year is without any issues. I think your family is due!! ;-)
Family Getaway
Janice B., Concord, NH United States
We've travelled to the area annually for years. Love the house, which we've been blessed to rent multiple times. Laura and Dave at Carova Cottages are wonderful. Highly recommend them and the location.
Manager's Response
THANKS so much for your nice words. We are so glad you love Bikinis and Bellinis and that you have chosen it to house your family for your annual vacation. It's nice to find a place that suits you with no surprises!! Next year, there will be a new kitchen!!
I have already blocked your weeks for spring 2024. We'll see you then! :-)

Private, Beautiful Beach House
Recent Guest, Christiansburg, VA US
This house was absolutely beautiful, and offers privacy, as it isn't close to any other houses. There is one house in front of the Screamin' Mimi, but it isn't very close. I love the location of this house- the beach is wide and spacious. One of my favorite things to do was lay in the hammock, reading a book, and watching the wild horses graze in the yard. The pool and hot tub were very nice. The pool table was fun, and we played for hours. The kitchen has everything you will need to prepare meals, along with a grill outside. There are lots of books and movies for rainy days. They provide many beach chairs which makes packing so much easier! The house is spacious, clean, and beautiful. Most importantly, the beds are very comfortable for a good night's rest. The view from most of the bedrooms is a gorgeous view of the ocean. We had a wonderful trip, and will definitely be back next year!

This was a great house. We enjoyed the house so much which was great as the weather did not cooperate as we had 3 days of a nor’easter
Great time
Recent Guest, King George, VA US
The home was nice, the pool and hot tub were great. Good sunrise view. Appreciated the towels,paper products and soaps. There was a sewage type smell in the basement sometimes and the grill burners are nearly dead. Love the owner's personal touches and tastes. Thanks for a great time.

Great house!
Great Vacation
Lisa C., Syracuse, NY United States
Our vacation rental, Screamin Mimi, was perfect. We were close enough to the beach and far away from more populated areas which made this the perfect vacation spot for what is happening this year.
Screamin Mimi
Susan W., Estero, FL United States
The house was lovely, kitchen very well equipped. The bedrooms were spacious, only complaint about one bedroom was that the fan made a racket noise but I should have called and had it adjusted, also bunk bedroom needs a fan of some sort.
We were very close to the beach easy to walk to but nice to be able to drive your truck and park there. The wild horses were so fascinating, almost daily they were in the yard munching away.
Managing the sand coming on and off the island was something to get used to.
Manager's Response
LOL... if you figure out how to manage the sand, you could patent it and make a million!! That sand can be such a pain!
Sorry about the lack of a ceiling fan in the bunk room, we are not allowed to put a ceiling fan in there since it would be too close to the top bunk and could prove a hazard.
So glad you enjoyed your stay at Screamin' Mimi. Please come again.
Screamin Mimi July 2020
Recent Guest, Washington, DC United States
We had a wonderful two weeks @ Screamin Mimi. We walked to the beach almost every day (short walk) and spent some afternoons in the pool. We found room for everyone in our 3 family party. Laura was responsive to every request or question we had during our time. We never used grocery delivery, but it is available along with pizza delivery from Pasquale's. There are plenty of amenities in the kitchen to cook for large groups.
Manager's Response
THANKS for your nice review. Screamin Mimi has a great location with such an EASY walk to the beach. I didn't realize the pizza delivery came this far 've been missing out!! LOL. I will call and check. Thank you.

Really enjoyed staying at this property
Eric S., Arlington, VA US
Took a group of 4 adults and 4 kids for a first time stay on the 4x4 beach and really glad we selected Screamin' Mimi. Property managers were super friendly & helped us arrange grocery delivery in advance of check-in so that we arrived to a fully stocked kitchen. Families loved the pool, hot tub and easy walk to the ocean.
Manager's Response
We are so glad you enjoyed your time at Screamin MIimi. What a wonderful home it is and so close to the ocean. You chose the right house for your first time in Carova. We hope you are your family will return! ;-)
Amazing vacation
Recent Guest, Pylesville , MD United States
2nd time staying at this wonderful house. This is a slice of heaven. The views are magical. Perfect for family gatherings. This house has everything you could need and is warm and inviting. The house is clean and spotless. The lay is out is great and the house is sound proof. We can’t wait to go back next year!!!!
Manager's Response
So glad you found Screamin' Mimi under the new Carova Cottages management. We are so happy to have her in our inventory! :-)
And we LOVE our repeat guests!
AMAZING! Can't say enough good things about Screamin' Mimi!
Christine K., West Boylston, MA United States
My sisters and I rented Screamin' Mimi for a family reunion/vacation and we had a fabulous week. The house was immaculate, very open and airy, decorated beautifully, more than enough room for the 7 of us and could have easily accommodated more. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool and the hot tub, and had the most amazing sunrise views from the top deck. Waking up to horses in the yard was such a cool experience! Short walk to the beach, the sound of the ocean every night, couldn't get any better! I highly recommend Screamin' Mimi and I can't wait to go back!
Manager's Response
We appreciate your comments and are glad you enjoyed your stay. The owners have worked hard over the past 12 years of renting Screamin' Mimi, to make it a home and not just a rental. They feel that the location and the wild life offer a unique experience in a beach house. Hopefully you'll come back and thanks again.
We enjoyed our stay at Bikinis and Bellinis. The pool and hot tub were enjoyable. The house was well equipped with all th eelectronics, games, blankets and most anything else we could have possibly needed. The horses roamed through the yard and roads daily, a nice experience. The beach was awesome.
Manager's Response
We're so glad you enjoyed your stay at Bikinis and Bellinis. The updates have been an act of love/patience/planning for the new owners. They have poured heart and soul into making it comfortable for their guests, and it really shows. That kitchen is perfection, but their insightful touches can be felt throughout the home. A rainy week would not be a disaster at Bikinis and Bellinis since there are so many diversions available!! Hopefully, you all will come again. We'd love to have you.
