This was our first time staying on the 4x4 beach and it was fantastic! The house was very clean and the owner was very responsive to my messages. The location was perfect - we saw horses everyday in the yard. It was a short walk/drive over the dunes to get to/from the beach. We were there with our 4 kids and DIL and we all had a great week! We will definitely be back!

Great Vacation Property

We really appreciated how well equipped this property was for our needs. The local horse herd was present all week, and the beach was not over crowded. A 4-wd vehicle and a tire pressure gauge is necessary for driving on the beach road to the house.

Great place to stay

We loved our stay in this location. The house was roomy and great for our family. The wrap around porch facilitated us being outside no matter which way the wind was blowing. Just a short walk over the dune and we were at the beach. Loved the wild horses in the yard or the area each day. Would definitely recommend

A great place to get away

A very nice house and a great location if you want to get away from the main bustle. Just be mindful of the tides. There is a house on the beach that can cause access challenges when it is high tide. I would give communication with host more than 5 stars if I could. He was very outstanding both before and during our stay.

Beach house in 4x4 area of Corolla, NC

We rented the house for a week get away in mid October. The house is on the beautiful 4x4 access section of the beach. It is far enough from town to be private but has easy access to town. Everything was very clean and especially well equipped. We loved the wrap around porch and seeing the horses, foxes, shore birds and a bald eagle. It was a wonderful week and we want to come back in the future with our adult kids.

Great house- loved our stay

This was our first time to Corolla and we couldn’t have picked a better house. The host was very responsive and answered all of our questions. The size of the house was perfect for our group of 6 adults and 2 kids, with plenty of extra space. The screened in portion of the porch was perfect on the rainy days. You can sit on the front porch and see the beach. We loved being able to walk a short distance to the waves. And the horses visited multiple times throughout our stay.

If you love to see the wild horses, this is the place to stay. We saw them multiple times a day all around the house. Views of the beach from the porch swing and hammock were great. We had 6 adults and one child under 2 and had more than enough room. The owner was extremely attentive and helpful with any questions or concerns. Thank you Stuart! We would definitely stay here again!

Great house - clean, roomy, comfortable bedding and had everything we needed for the week. Pictures and description represent the house well. Watched the wild horses daily. The porch swing and hammock were a big hit with the family. The location was nice and the ocean waves could be heard from the porch. The beach vehicle permit was a surprise bonus. The owner was very responsive and helpful. Relaxing vacation!!
