Within a short walk of Outer Banks Beaches, this vacation home is within a mile (2 km) of Currituck National Wildlife Refuge. The vacation home includes a private pool, a kitchen, and a fireplace.
COME DOWN AND ENJOY AN AREA UNLIKE ANY OTHER ON THE EAST COAST. Grab the family and drive your four wheel drive type vehicle to the edge of the pavement, shift into that four wheel drive or the AWD that you don't use enough, and set out for your family adventure up the beautiful sandy coast of eastern North Carolina. Experience the beach like it used to be for our great grandparents, wide open and free. **WARNING; After coming to this beach, every other beach you visit in your life will probably feel "crowded"** This area is also home to multiple bird sanctuaries and home to the wild Corolla horses, North Carolina's official state horses. These horses are believed to be descendants of wild mustangs brought over from Europe many, many years ago. They are absolutely beautiful animals and roam the area at will. Note: We hate added fees that some houses like to add at the end. We have heard from our past guests that they also hate these fees. Please keep that in mind when comparing houses. Linens, maintenance, cleaning, pool, and pet fee are already included. No nickle and diming here. We also rent Saturday to Saturday in the summer (May to September) so we can help as many families as possible enjoy the beach. Our house is located about 7 miles up the coast from the end of the pavement along one of the widest areas of beach in the area. We chose this lot because it is highly elevated and gives great ocean views from all decks. When you arrive at the house you will enjoy all the modern amenities of today plus some. This elevated semi-oceanfront (one lot back) home features eight bedroom (4 Master King Ocean view bedrooms, 2 Master Queen Ocean view Bedrooms, 2 Duo bunk Bedrooms). There will be no fighting over bathrooms as every room has its own master bath. (This saves so much tension when travelling with extended family or friends. We included this when custom designing the house as I believe this is a must have.) All the king and queen rooms also have direct access to deck with ocean views. ( Another must have with large groups. ) The sunrise is literally just outside your door. The large kitchen will make any Chef smile with joy with an over sized double oven, two dishwashers, two refrigerator/freezers and a wine fridge. Two icemakers for those frozen drinks also. When is the last time you cooked and had views of the Atlantic Ocean just out the window? No better coffee brewing view around:) The dining room is very well sized with seating for the entire family with windows that allow you to watch the sunset over the woodlands to the west. Bring some popcorn, because the kids will absolutely enjoy movie night with the family in your own personal big screen theater room. It can get pretty intense and loud though if watching sporting events. Mom and dad will love having the private pool and hot tub to relax in with the family without worrying about sharing it with anyone else. No community pool here! This house was built with the sole purpose of making family memories that last. The beach is a short walk down an unimproved easement directly in front of the house or we always hop in the car and tailgate for the day. Hanging out at the beach with the family is sooo much fun. There is some limited parking for a family member or two that do not have a four wheel drive vehicles for a nominal charge about 8 miles from the house. The beach and house are also very pet friendly. We absolutely hate pet fees and don't charge extra to bring you canine family member. Sorry, but no cats allowed. Pool is open March thru October. Please note all maintenance and cleaning fees are included. Once you visit, we truly believe you will be back like many of our previous guests. Even if you do not rent our house, you need to experience this area sometime in your life. We would love to help you with your vacation fun.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 8 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 8 bedrooms.

The house was perfect for what we needed. It had lots of bedrooms and bathrooms. The pool and hot tub was great. The kitchen had everything we needed. The homeowners were always available whenever we needed anything. You definitely need 4wd or a great AWD vehicle to get to the property but it was a great experience and everyone in our group loved the drive on the beach. We seen wild horses right out front of the house. It was a great vacation.

This was my immediate family’s first time in the Outer Banks. There were 8 adults and 5 kids, ages 10 and under. There was more than enough room for all of us so we were not on top of each other. There is something for everyone to do at the house. There is a pool, hot tub and movie theater. Upstairs in the front room, in a cabinet, there were games and books for the kids. When you went outside, under the main stairs there are a ton of outdoor toys for the sand. It has buckets, boogie boards, shovels, and all the stuff you need to play in the sand. It has chairs to take to the beach, which is just across the street. The owner has communicated every time I reached out. He has even gone above and beyond, mailing us back my nephews favorite elephant “stuffie” he accidentally left behind! I truly from the bottom of my heart have nothing negative to say. It was an amazing vacation. Ooooh and did I mention five out of the seven days we were there the wild horses were either on our property or across the street? And we saw an eagle, and a baby shark that got beached. All the people helped with sticks to get it back into the water. Simply a magical vacation!

I cannot say enough about the location and the overall amenities that the home has to offer. We saw wild horses nearly every day and the beach could be seen from the sprawling decks. The kitchen was fairly well appointed with cooking necessities, etc. as well. However, there were a few things that could easily have been improved, and the property would be five star all day long. The items, while minor, just added up. There were not any starter rolls of paper supplies, for example, when we arrived. This caused us to unpack quickly following an eleven hour drive to get there. Additionally, the clean sheets were laying on each bed, and we needed to make each one upon arrival as well as unload the dishwasher, which was full of dishes. The fireplace did not work properly. The property owner was responsive and maintenance changed the propane tank and ordered a regulator, but it was not operational during our week. The pool was cleaned the day after we arrived. The kids thoroughly enjoyed the theater room after flying kites on the beach and enjoying all of the activities around. The vacation gave us the true tranquility we were looking for bringing family and friends together. Definitely a five star if some of these minor things were resolved. Definitely recommend overall.

This is a must for ones bucket list!

The house was very clean! We LOVED being on the 4x4 beach! Driving on the beach is the only way to beach for us after this trip, it was so convenient. We saw wild horses every day and it was pretty cool. Little kids went nuts each time. Having two fridges, two dish washers, a large pantry, and a wine fridge was great!! Tons of space for everything. Bring hand soap, toilet paper, paper towels, and dish soap!! There is none at the house.We did have some minor disappointments; we felt like the listing photos were a bit outdated after getting to the property. There’s been a lot of new houses built since the pictures were taken so the views of the ocean are more obstructed than we expected. We had a small issue with a tub not draining, we messaged maintenance like the instructions said but had no response. A family member ended up resolving the issue but it’s a bummer that maintenance didn’t even get back to us.
