Relax among the dunes and see wild horses from the porch at Shifting Sands!

Take an off-road adventure and explore the tranquil natural habitat of Carova Beach at Shifting Sands. The sun, sand, and breathtaking night skies will hypnotize you while you revitalize. Enjoy the ocean-to-sound views in this well-appointed home in the four-wheel drive area where the horses still roam. This family-friendly vacation home is sure to please everyone in your group! The beach is within reach at just 350' away. Enjoy evenings in the hot tub as you soak your cares away among the Shifting Sands.
