If you have never been to the 4x4 beach, you will likely find it different than any beach you have been to. Where the Wild Horses Roam – A Front Row Seat to Nature’s Majesty
The 4x4 area is home to wild horses, a beloved and historic symbol of the Outer Banks, and offers a rare opportunity to witness these magnificent creatures as they roam freely along the beaches. As one of the most pristine coastal environments in the United States, the area remains largely untouched, providing a serene escape for those who wish to experience the raw beauty and untamed spirit of this remarkable land scaped. At Shore House, guests can experience this rare and magical encounter up close, adding a sense of wonder and awe to their vacation. A Sky Full of Stars: The 4x4 Stargazing Experience.
The exclusive 4x4 area of the Outer Banks offers an unparalleled stargazing experience as there are basically no light pollution. It really is amazing the difference in the amount of stars you can see at night at this part of the beach compared to other locations.
It’s a short drive to Corolla for a night on the town, a lovely meal or a stroll through the quaint village. Daytrips to the historic Whalehead Club, the Maritime Museum or one of the many lighthouses are crowd pleasers.
The main living area is open and the modern kitchen is a chef's delight and spacious enough for friends and family to join around while preparing and eating meals. The dining table seats 10 with more seating at the island. Two dishwashers make for a quick and easy clean up!
You are able to view magical sunrises on the ocean and sunsets on the sound from different areas in the house. If you bring your binoculars and enjoy watching dolphins from the inside the house or from the balcony. You are also able to see the wild horses that roam the beach. And of course there is also the pool for enjoyment.
Five of the six bedrooms feature ocean views. All the bedrooms have Smart TVs except for the bunk room. Four bedrooms have ensuite baths with king beds to accommodate your guests in luxury. Two additional 1/2 baths in the home as well. Additional Smart TVs are located in the main living room and in the game room to ensure everyone can be entertained. The game room also offers a beautiful pool table, an extra fridge, cabinetry and wet bar, and a 75 inch TV all just steps away from the pool. You will enjoy spending time with the family around the pool and there is also an outdoor shower for rinsing off after the beach and using the pool.
With the shoreline a stones' throw from the expansive wrap around decks, enjoy the coastal breezes while gathering with your loved ones or during some alone time on a private deck.

We had a great stay! The house was comfortable, spacious and offered amazing views of the beach. We had nightly wild horse visitors which added to the charm. Communication with the host was always prompt if we needed anything. Thanks for a memorable stay!
Fantastic location for easy access to the beach. Worked really well for little kids- a minute walk to the waves at most. House was set up well - bedrooms and bathrooms made it easy for grandparents and 2 other families with young children. Wide open living room/ kitchen made it easy to gather. Pantry was full of spices, olive oil, vinegar, and paper products- saran, foil, ziplock bags, etc. Pool and hot tub were nice, but used very little by us be because the ocean water was perfect. 4x4 area was awesome because we could drive our trucks on the beach with chairs, umbrellas etc., and didn’t have to carry everything back and forth.

Amazing!!!
Rob and The Shore House were amazing!
We arrived at our original rental and needed to move and found The Shore House after hours and Rob was amazing at his communication and getting us into the property last minute. when we drove down the 4x4 Beach to the property the family was so happy and the excitement of driving over the sand dunes was an added bonus. Then when we arrived everyone was even happier. The house was clean and cared for and the location was perfect. My family and I said that being in the 4x4 area of Corolla was being in a different world vs. the rest of the OBX.
And Rob was outstanding in his communication!
Thank You for everything!!!
