About

Come down and enjoy a place like no other on the east coast. Drive your four wheel drive type vehicle to the edge of the pavement, shift into that four wheel drive or lock the awd 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. 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. 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

 

What kind of coffee maker do you have?

We have both a Keurig and regular one,

Do I need a 4wd or AWD vehicle to get to the house?

Yes, you literally drive along the beautiful ocean about 7 miles to get to the house. AWD does work. The more clearance the better. Over half our guest have someone in their party that does not have that style of vehicle. I do have pavement parking available for a nominal fee if needed. Someone in your party would just give those members of the family a ride to the house. It has worked great in the past. The same person that handles the off sight parking does run a taxi service if interested.

How far away are things to do?

The main area of Corolla is 8 miles from the house. You can find rapelling, go-carts, putt-putt, ice cream, eateries, grocery stores, historical Whalehead park and museum, and the lighthouse.

Do we just book and show up?

You will find that we go above and beyond to help you have a great vacation. We will send out emails to help you plan your trip, give you information about the house and area, and answer most of your questions within a week of booking. We will also be talking to you by phone frequently before your trip. We have guests that have stayed with us 3 or 4 times and we are also starting a special promotion in 2021 for repeat guests. So excited about this special surprise!

How long does it take to walk or drive to the beach.

Quick answer. About 2 minutes for either. There is a 15 foot unimproved easement across from the house. It takes my boys about 60 seconds to run over the dune and a little over 2 minutes for my 70+ year old mother in law. ( She absolutely loved being timed:) ) We always walk to the beach and send one car loaded with the beach chairs, umbrella, etc. This is WAY BETTER than carrying everything like at other beaches. We just simply tailgate at beach and spend some fun family time together.

Do I need a special permit to park at the beach?

Parking at the house is free. I include two beach owner parking passes. I will pass on the information if you want to purchase more in our welcome email. Two should be plenty though. The county came up with the passes to limit the number of "daytrippers", people that just drive up for the day and party on the beach. While I do not believe guests should have to pay for passes, this has stopped excess wear on the beach. I cover the costs of these but they will need to be left at checkout so I don't have to charge you and so it doesn't inconvenience the incoming guests.
