About this space
Cozy beach home in 4WD area just north of Corolla, NC
The space
The ultimate hideaway for some R&R! Ideal for family, a group of friends, or even just for some personal time. Wake up to the sight of wild horses outside your backdoor and the opportunity to go discover this impressive area in your 4WD!

Come vacation with the wild horses in the remote, 4WD area north of Corolla! Play or relax on the beach by day and watch the elegant starry sky on one of three decks by nighttime. Read a good book in the shade of the outdoor gazebo...or watch a good (URL HIDDEN) matter what you choose to do, this is the place for true 'rest and relaxation!'

While the home is located in Swan Beach, a modest neighborhood just five miles north of the Corolla lighthouse, you MUST HAVE A 4WD VEHICLE to access it. The home is only about four miles from where the paved road ends and you drive along the beach. There are plenty of eateries, shopping, and other activities in Corolla, should you want to venture back to the real world! You'll want to bring groceries with you, but they can be purchased in Corolla at the Food Lion or Harris Teeter.

While our bungalow is located four rows off the beach, you can still hear the waves crashing from a distance. This home has an open floor plan with a rustic feel. It has refreshed appliances and a BONUS room downstairs that sleeps up to four people and has a full bath. There is a screen porch and two enormous decks that surround three of the four sides of the home. It's really designed for outdoor living

Vacation rental booking tips:

How to get the best value:

• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. To get the best value, consider shifting your vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer warm temperatures, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Currituck vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Booking websites often offer guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Currituck area magazine upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guide magazines contain offers and deals for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Planning, picking, and booking a perfect Currituck rental home:

• First, have your family agree to dates and a budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Quaint Beach Cottage in 4WD-OBX has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is often available on booking pages. If they are not listed, email or call the property management company before reserving the property. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to establish what is best for your group.
• Some rentals allow pets, but some do not. Allowable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the owner about allowable breeds and types before booking.
• Is your group looking for special amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking
