Very accurate description. Loved the set up with the master suite on the third floor and the reat of the bedrooms on the second floor. Having bathroom by pool was excellent. We spent so much time out there and didn't need to run all the way in the house! Barbara was responsive to messages. It was included in palnning to bring your own beach towels, soaps & paper products which I think was very reasonable. There are 8 toilets in the house but were only 3 rolls of toilet paper. Would have been nice if there was one in each room. We did leave some behind for the next guests!

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy
The house itself was stunning, as were the views, but the terrain to get there was pretty treacherous and the hosts did not give good enough instructions. Also, for how remote it is, they should be very explicit about the need to bring toilet paper and other essentials ("paper goods" is way too vague). Also be prepared to bring enough food for the stay and really look into how to drive in the sand before you go.

I am glad you liked our home. I am sorry you did not realize the terrain of driving 6 miles on the beach. Luckily we had paper products at the house that you could use.
The house was amazing and perfect for our family of 14. Everything was clean when we arrived, the kitchen had everything you need to prep and cook meals. The fenced in pool/hot tub were clean and in great shape. It was super easy to walk to the beach or drive when we were feeling lazy. We will definitely look to book the property again for future trips to OBX.
We had a truly wonderful stay at this beautiful Outer Banks home! From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this house was something special—immaculately clean, thoughtfully furnished, and perfectly suited for our group of 10, including two young children under 10. There was more than enough space for everyone to relax and enjoy themselves without ever feeling crowded.The location was fantastic—just a short and easy walk to the beach, which made it ideal for quick trips back and forth with the kids. The home had everything we needed and more, with plenty of room for shared meals, games, and quiet moments on the deck.Barbara, the owner, was an absolute pleasure to work with. Her communication was prompt, warm, and helpful from start to finish. She clearly cares about the experience of her guests, and it made a big difference in how smooth and enjoyable our stay was.We’re already talking about coming back—this house made our Outer Banks vacation everything we hoped it would be!

What a fantastic home! This home is spacious, beautifully decorated and had all the amenities we needed. The kitchen had everything for our group of 14. The choice of three coffee machines kept our morning gatherings relaxed and enjoyable. The double oven came in handy with our larger meals. The living room was plenty large and comfortable for our 8 adults to be seated. The large coffee table allowed us to do two 1000 piece jigsaw puzzles (provided). The decor in the living spaces allowed us to feel very connected to the OBX.
The 6 bedrooms were large and all had ensuites. All the bedrooms were very comfortable. The grandchildren enjoyed the bunk beds and fell asleep each night exhausted from their cousin time. The recreation room on the ground floor was perfect for our ping pong tournaments. The ice machine on this floor was essential. The elevator was used sparingly but was appreciated for moving groceries, etc between floors at the beginning and end of our stay.
The sunrises at this property were spectacular! The beach and beach passes were used daily in the morning hours and the pool was completely shaded by 3p allowing for up to 8 hours of water time each day. The wild horses were on the property daily, one morning there were 10 of them sleeping just outside the property fence! It was a 30 minute drive to get off the beach, we only made the trip a couple of times. The owner was extremely responsive to all of our communication and needs. Thank you for a wonderful week!!

This property is incredible, and the host couldn't have been better. The house looks incredible in the listing and turned out to be even better than the pictures. Barbara was easy to work with, a great communicator, and helpful as I planned our trip. It couldn't have been better!
The house is even nicer than the pictures. The floors are gorgeous, and it looks like every wall has been freshly painted. There are nice touches everywhere. Unlike other (many?) rent houses, the kitchen is well stocked with silverware and dishes, and the quality of knives and equipment isn't lacking. There's pride everywhere you look in the house. We appreciated the beverage coolers, and the second full size refrigerator.
It's an easy walk to the beach and we appreciated the chairs and equipment.
The wild horses hung out around the property and the various balconies gave us the best views.
When we left, all families were asking when we'd return. We'll be back!

We had the most amazing stay! The beach was definitely something you should see once in your lifetime. My children were in “happy tears” over the magical sight of the wild horses that grazed all around the house and nearby dunes.
The house itself was clean with plenty of space for our family and children. We loved the ice maker on the ground level - genius addition to the home! All of the instructions were easy to understand and check out rules are pretty standard and easy. The host was great at communicating and informing us of everything we needed to know and was helpful during our stay.
Would absolutely stay here again!

Relaxing, Fun at the Beach, Pool at this fantastic Corolla beach house
The house, pool and hot tub were perfect, We had five kids, 8 adults and had plenty of room in the house. Incredible views, wild horses, easy walk to the beach and you can take your car to! We stayed a couple days in Nags Head and Kitty Hawk but this home in Corolla was by far the best place to stay. Our host was so accommodating. Our entire group gave this five stars. Our memories playing on the beach as a family are incredible.
We had a wonderful visit. The host Barbara was excellent and provided a lot of information prior to our visit and answered questions quickly during our visit. The house was very clean, spacious, decorated nicely, and had everything we needed. The 2nd full size refrigerator was very helpful and so was the ice maker. The elevator was great to have to bring up groceries to the kitchen on the top level. Horses came by the house every day. We drove to the beach every day, but also walked back to the house during the day as needed. The house was perfect, we would love to stay here again!

We loved the location of the house. It was so cool to see all of the wild horses and they woild come right up to the house. The ride on the beach was crazy and we had no problem with the vehicles we had (ford expedition, chevy Silverado, dodge ram, and honda passport). We did see a lot of people stuck on the beach in their vehicles fair warning make sure your car is 4 wheel dri e and that you air down. The house was perfect so much space to fit all of us and the pool was nice. There were great views from the balconies and going to the beach was a breeze with the parking passes provided. The owner was quick to response and helped if I had any issues or questions. Overall it was a great experience and we would all gladly stay again.

We had an excellent visit. We found everything we needed at the house. Beautiful views and easy access to the beach. The weather didn't always cooperate, but we had the pool and hot tub to fall back on. Our grandkids had a great time and kept very busy between the pool, ocean and sand. We had a few questions for Barbara along the way and received immediate responses. Great hostess!! They have parking permits available for the beach but the walk from the house was so convenient, that we didn't ever use them.

We had a great time in an amazing home. It is a unique experience staying on the 4x4 beach but we all loved it. The beach is easy to get to from the house via vehicle or walking and when you are there the view is perfect. Seeing the horses almost every morning made it even more priceless. We will definitely put this on the list for the years to come.

Been to the Outer Banks 4 times and have stayed in different places each time. This house takes the cake. It was perfect. 6 bedrooms each with their own bathroom, elevator was a pleasant surprise, and the house was spotless. Ice machine was awesome along with the extra fridge on the first floor. Barbara has the house stocked with everything you'll need to cook big dinners, or small lunches, and everything in between. Barbara was easily the most accessible homeowner we've had as well. She makes sure everything up to snuff when we arrived, gives great recommendations for things to do, and responds almost instantly.
If you want to unplug and enjoy the 4x4 beach then this is the spot. Driving to the beach takes 20 seconds, and if you need to walk it is only about 3-5 minutes. We love the 4x4 bc it is spacious. You can keep your eyes on the kids and they have endless sand to play in.
The only downside to the week was having to drive to the hospital twice. My son got swimmers ear (Duck has a walk in clinic not too far) and my wife's aunt got stung by a sting ray (Hospital in Kitty hawk is about an hour and a half.
Book this house if you want the best week of your life.

The property is perfect, well appointed and equipped. The drive there and back was super fun. We had three 4x4 pickups, BMW X5 And Subaru AWD. Had no problems with transportation and we went to Duck several times. The upper deck has great view of the ocean. Pool location meant that in late afternoon it was shaded so we our rhythm was beach in morning through noon and then when the sand got too hot we did pool with no need to sunscreen. Best thing is the location, no roads means no road noise. Only thing you hear is the ocean. We loved this trip and the luxurious house made it easy for our 14 to relax and enjoy.
A beautiful house and pool with everything that we needed. We were very comfortable and the kids enjoyed the beach and the pool as well as the ping pong table. Barbara communicated immediately and anticipated questions very well so we had answers in advance. We were allowed to check in early. We would recommend this place unreservedly for a large group or family gathering.

Booked almost a year in advance for an family reunion. What a dream experience and comforting welcome. Its is a half hour on sand to stores. So it best you bring what you need including lots of water, ice, trash bags, laundry solutions, TP, towels, extra linen, pillows etc. no such thing as a quick run. Ice did not work on 3rd floor kitchen which was an annoyance. Other than that if you want a get away in a clean beautiful home this is the place to escape to see wild horses and take in the beach. Thank you hosts!
