We booked this house last minute as our wedding, which was originally planned for Asheville, North Carolina was canceled due to hurricane Helena. We chose the Fitzgerald as it had enough bedrooms and bathrooms to accommodate the family. The wedding was just a small internal affair, vendors or anything like that. The property owner was very communicative and helpful throughout the entire process. We had one minor issue where a pipe got backed up, but they came and took care of everything that we needed to get done. The wedding in the photos turned out great! I recommend , this place for a great family and friends getaway !

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled that the Fitzgerald could be the perfect setting for your special day, especially given the last-minute change. It's wonderful to hear that everything went smoothly and that you felt well taken care of. We apologize for the minor plumbing hiccup but are glad our team could resolve it quickly. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we’d love to welcome you back for more family and friends' gatherings in the future! Wishing you all the best in your new journey together!
Our family of 9 had a wonderful week at the Fitzgerald Beach House. Our host really saved our vacation with a last minute booking as our original rental was cancelled hours prior to arriving. The house has all the amenities you could possibly need and then some! Kitchen was fully equipped with all the necessities for cooking. Although we did bring some of our kitchen favorites to make things more enjoyable but that was just our own personal preference. The house was clean and met all our expectations. It was very nice being on the 4x4 and only being 2 miles up was an added bonus.
Our families favorites this week included, spending time in the pool, sunrise views, walks on the beach, watching movies in the living room in the evening and some of us enjoyed playing pool in the game room.
Thank you for sharing your vacation home with us!

Liked: Check-in, location
Disliked: Cleanliness
Location was great. Upkeep of home was lacking. Some bathrooms were dirty, balcony was very dirty a quick sweep and brushing off of the chairs and railings to remove spider webs and dead insects would have gone a long way The pool heater was not working I had let them know a week before our trip that this was wanted and paid extra to get the pool heated before we arrived. Very disappointing We ran out of gas for stove and had to borrow propane from sister house for outdoor grills. Dishwashers need repair. But view was wonderful, horses came by almost every day

LuxStayUSA — Event Specialists for the Outer Banks
LuxStayUSA manages a curated portfolio of oceanfront estates on Corolla's exclusive 4x4 beaches, purpose-built for private events, weddings, corporate retreats, and milestone celebrations. Founded in 2016, we have grown from a single mountain property in Snowshoe, West Virginia into one of the premier event-focused hospitality companies on the Outer Banks.
Our team has coordinated 100+ group events — from intimate beach weddings to 60-person corporate offsites. Every booking includes a dedicated event coordinator, a curated network of vetted local vendors (photographers, caterers, florists, DJs, officiants), and pre-arrival planning support. We are not a rental listing service. We are a professional event management team that happens to own extraordinary properties.
Trusted by wedding couples, Fortune 500 retreat planners, and multi-generational families..
Why they chose this property
LuxStayUSA acquired The Fitzgerald & Hemingway Estate to fill a gap in the Outer Banks event market: there was no private oceanfront estate designed specifically to host weddings, corporate retreats, and milestone celebrations at this scale.
Traditional OBX wedding venues seat 100+ guests but send everyone home afterward. Vacation rental companies offer large homes but provide no event coordination. We built the Fitzgerald & Hemingway into something neither category offers — a professionally managed private event estate where 62 guests celebrate and sleep under one roof, with a dedicated coordinator and curated vendor network.
This estate is part of the LuxStayUSA Outer Banks event portfolio, which includes three oceanfront properties on Corolla's 4x4 beach. Together they accommodate over 100 guests. Each property can be booked independently or combined for larger celebrations. 100+ events hosted and counting.
