About this property
Unique Home In 4x4 Area Of Corolla where beaches are ranked #4 in America!
***Breaking News***
Tripadvisor placed Corolla N.C. first in a list of "14 Beautiful Little Beach Towns in the U.S.A"
Book your dream vacation in beautiful Corolla. You and your family deserve it!
***House is accessible by 4 wheel drive vehicle only!***
"Corolla Beach Cottage" is located in the unique 4x4 area of the northern Outer Banks. One of the last and least developed areas of the Outer Banks, this coastal area is the perfect vacation spot for those seeking a more adventurous getaway. This uncomplicated area is made up of dense maritime forests, less populated beaches, marshy sound-side coves, and protected national preserves--the ideal backdrop for the perfect vacation. Add the beautiful wide beaches with soft white sand and you are destined for an escape to a truly special and magical place.
This cozy home is located on Swan Beach, an absolutely gorgeous stretch of shoreline. It provides all the amenities for a well-deserved break from the stresses of everyday life. Whether you choose to relax on the deck, put a kayak in the sound or enjoy the sound of breaking waves while soaking up the sun, this location has it all! Come and see this amazing area nestled between the nature preserves where wild horses run free! You are just minutes away from one of the most beautiful beaches on the east coast!
This location gives you the best of both worlds; a wonderful, remote, and relaxing experience at the beach, yet only minutes away from world-class shopping, dining, and fun activities.
To make a beautiful home even better.
