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 pretty 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 huge decks that surround three of the four sides of the home. It's really designed for outdoor living

How to get the best rental experience:
Sticking to your rental budget:
- Booking your vacation rental in Fall or Spring is one of our best tips for saving money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes.
- In the Currituck area, The sooner you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are booked early. Reserving your vacation home 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental home.
- Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your family qualifies for a reduced rate.
- Property managers often offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
- Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Currituck area travel guide magazines that include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.
